  • Publication number: 20240070487
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating and processing modeling workflows are disclosed. In some examples, a reference distribution of scores generated by a model is determined. The reference distribution of scores is recorded in a structured database. One or more unexpected scores are detected during execution of the model. To detect the one or more unexpected scores, a production distribution of scores is compared with the reference distribution of scores recorded in the structured database. The production distribution of scores is generated by the model for a production input data set. An alert is then provided to an external system, when an alert condition is determined to be satisfied based on the comparison. The alert indicates detection of the one or more unexpected scores.

  • Publication number: 20240066797
    Abstract: A 3D printing apparatus and method includes a piezo actuator that reciprocates a tappet. The reciprocation of the tappet generates pressure within a chamber filled with molten print material. The generated pressure causes the molten print material to be extruded through a nozzle coupled to the chamber. The piezo actuator is controlled to switchably provide continuous extrusion of print material or extrusion of discrete droplets of print material.

  • Patent number: 11914721
    Abstract: A blockchain smart contract rewriting framework system has a vulnerability detection tool, a rewriter tool, and a deployment component. The deployment component obtains a permission to upgrade the smart contract, which granted by a smart contract creator/owner. The contract rewriting framework system retrieves the smart contract from the blockchain network, and passes it to the vulnerability detection tool. The vulnerability detection tool detects a vulnerability in the smart contract, and determines a type of the vulnerability and an instruction location of the vulnerability. The rewriter tool rewrites the smart contract to include a patch for fixing the vulnerability, a patched smart contract being generated by the rewriter tool based on the type of the vulnerability and the instruction location of the vulnerability.

  • Patent number: 11790742
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for supervising and monitoring the delivery of a package to a property. In some implementations, shipment data indicating a package to be delivered at the property and identification information for a first person is obtained. A request for a second person to access the property and deliver the package that includes identification information for the second person is received. Identification information for the first person is compared to the identification information for the second person. Access to the property is provided to the second person. Sensor data generated by one or more sensors that are located throughout the property and while providing access to the property is obtained and analyzed. A determination of whether the second person delivered the package to the property is made based on analyzing the sensor data. Data indicating the determination is provided for output.
