  • Patent number: 11437814
    Abstract: A device may detect a power removal event, determine whether the power removal event is a local power removal event or a system power removal event, and perform state correction. For example, the device may receive an indication of a state change event turning on the lighting device. The indication may be received from a sensor. For example, the sensor may include a photosensing circuit (e.g., capable of detecting light emission from the lighting device) or the sensor may include a live voltage sensor (e.g., capable of detecting a change in current driven to the lighting device). The device may then determine whether the power removal event is a system power removal event or a local power removal event. If the device determines that the power removal event is a system power removal event, the device may perform state correction (e.g., setting the lighting device to its state prior to the power removal event).

  • Patent number: 11436284
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein disclose a back-end computer to generate a risk score and a front-end visualization engine to hierarchically display the generated risk core. The back-end computer users a machine learning model for a stepwise perturbation from a digital reference profile until a user profile to be score is reached. The computer may calculate intermediate risk score for each perturbation and calculate the final risk score after all the perturbations are completed. The front-end visualization engine generates an interactive hierarchical display showing information associated with the risk score calculation. More specifically, the visualization engine may show a filtered list of users sharing one or more attributes with the user profile, a visual rendering of the top factors contributing to the risk score, and individual input values within a factor; and juxtapose the scores and attributes of the user profile in the graphical information display of the associated population.

  • Patent number: 11436320
    Abstract: A method of computer security for a host computer system in communication with remote computer systems, including generating an attack map as a directed graph data structure modelling individual events leading to an exploitation of the host computer system and collecting a log of each of a plurality of attack events occurring at the host including network packets involved in each attack event, the attack map being generated in a training phase of the host computer system in which the host is subjected to attacks by one or more attacking remote computer systems; using stacked autoencoders to extract features from the log event in each attack; generating a directed graph representation based on each of the extracted features; and responsive to an occurrence of a new attack in the host computer system, triggering the regeneration of the attack map including additional events generated in respect of the new attack.

  • Patent number: 11433580
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for eliminating mold lines when molding a part having ferromagnetic pigments is provided. A mold assembly having a mold with a cavity and valve gates is formed. Pucks are fitted at the gates to collect residual cold plastic. The calculation of a specific sequence and timing of the opening of the valve gates is determined based on a calculation of the total number of valve gates needed to fill a part while maintaining acceptable injection molding pressure. Once calculated, the gates are positioned around the mold cavity to balance flow length ratio. A primary gate is chosen for initial injection. The time for the material to flow from the first to the second gate is established. The second gate is opened after the flow front reaches the second gate. This pattern continues until all valve gates are opened.
