  • Patent number: 11976499
    Abstract: An anti-tampering device secures bolted components, such as a trailer coupler mounted to an adjustable channel. A nut shield provides hexagonal channels in which nuts are contained. A hasp assembly provides a locking tab. Bolts secure the nut shield and the hasp assembly to the components. A hasp shield with a notched annular flange overlays the hasp assembly, receives the tab through a slot in the area surrounded by the notched annular flange, and contains a puck lock in the area. The puck lock engages the locking tab.

  • Patent number: 11949720
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for securing a network, for admitting new nodes into an existing network, and/or for securely forming a new network. As a non-limiting example, an existing node may be triggered by a user, in response to which the existing node communicates with a network coordinator node. Thereafter, if a new node attempts to enter the network, and also for example has been triggered by a user, the network coordinator may determine, based at least in part on parameters within the new node and the network coordinator, whether the new node can enter the network.

  • Publication number: 20240100893
    Abstract: A trailer coupler includes a lock contained within a channel in a coupler body. A pin extends from the lock. The pin extends through an aperture in an end of the channel and through an aperture in a latch handle when the lock is locked. In such configuration, the pin prevents pivoting the latch handle to an open (unlocked) position. Unlocking the lock allows the lock to be moved at least partially out of the channel, which removes the pin from the aperture in the handle, allowing the handle to pivot to an open (unlocked) position.

  • Publication number: 20240104394
    Abstract: Provided are computing systems, methods, and platforms that automatically produce production-ready machine learning models and deployment pipelines from minimal input information such as a raw training dataset. In particular, one example computing system can import a training dataset associated with a user. The computing system can execute an origination machine learning pipeline to perform a model architecture search that selects and trains a machine learning model for the training dataset. Execution of the origination machine learning pipeline can also result in generation of a deployment machine learning pipeline configured to enable deployment of the machine learning model (e.g., running the machine learning model to produce inferences and/or optionally other tasks such as re-training and/or re-tuning the model).

  • Publication number: 20230410677
    Abstract: Using a trained machine learning model for modifying word structures in financial literacy content based on age is provided. For example, a computing system can determine a first reading comprehension level for a set of financial literacy content. The set of financial literacy content can include sentences. The computing system can input the sentences into a trained machine learning model. The computing system can receive one or more updates to the sentences from the trained machine learning model. The computing system can generate an updated set of financial literacy content based on the one or more updates to the sentences. The one or more updates to the sentences can have a second reading comprehension level that is different than the first reading comprehension level. The computing system can output the updated set of financial literacy content as a graphical user interface to a user device associated with a user account.
