Patent number: 10838837Abstract: A method and system for predicting system states is provided. The method includes receiving a first reference model associated with a first operational attribute of a system from a first integrated circuit internally comprising a first processing circuit and a first sensor measuring a first parameter of the system. Additionally, a second reference model associated with a second operational attribute of the system is received from a second integrated circuit internally comprising a second processing circuit and a second sensor measuring a second parameter of the system. A combination reference model based on the first reference model and the second reference model is generated and a predicted future state and associated operational attributes for the system are determined based on the combination reference model.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2016Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Michael Sean Brown, Sean R.

Patent number: 10693839Abstract: A method and system for improving a digital media content transfer blocking process is provided. The method includes detecting a request for access to digital media content from a digital media provider system. Network traffic across the network is identified and it is verified that the digital media content is comprised by the network traffic. In response, investigation platform software code is executed and a database system associated with the digital media provider system is queried. A system determines if a legitimate connection based relationship exists between a user device and the digital media provider system and the digital media content is monitored. The digital media content is determined to be unauthorized for use by the user and in response the digital media content is disabled from executing functions with respect to the user device of a user.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2019Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: James D. Cleaver, Sean R. Costello, Stefan Harrer, Laurence J. Plant

Publication number: 20180122368Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system for providing assistance during a multiparty communication include a processor(s) receiving, over a communications network data from a multiparty communication involving two or more participants, wherein the data comprises audio data. Among the processor(s) is a neuromorphic processor. The neuromorphic processor analyzes the data based on recognizing pre-defined speech patterns in the audio data and produces analytics based on the analysis of the data, during the multiparty communication, based on recognizing pre-defined speech patterns in the audio data. The processor(s) determines at least one sentiment of a first participant of the two or more participants participating in the multiparty communication. The processor(s) generates a visual representation of the multiparty communication that includes a representation of the at least one sentiment.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2016Publication date: May 3, 2018Inventors: Sean R.
