  • Patent number: 11696184
    Abstract: A device determines, from a network slice template associated with a network slice, a quality of service (QoS) profile for the network slice that includes performance metrics for corresponding QoS parameters associated with providing a service. The device monitors performance of the network slice in association with the QoS profile, and determines, based on the performance, that a performance indicator for a QoS parameter of the network slice is outside a threshold range of a performance metric. The device determines, based on the performance information and the QoS profile, a slice modification to the network slice template for the network slice, where the slice modification is configured to cause the performance indicator to be within the threshold range of the performance metric. The device causes a network slice orchestrator to update an instantiation of the network slice according to the slice modification and the network slice template.

  • Patent number: 11687848
    Abstract: A device receives a request associated with standardizing organization-specific roles within an organization, where the request includes data that identifies titles for the organization-specific roles. The device converts the data to vectors that represent semantic meanings of the titles. The device sets a configuration of a data model by assigning weighted values to title-class identifiers that are used to associate titles, of a standardized set of titles, to a hierarchy of role classifications. The device uses the data model to determine scores that indicate likelihoods of the titles mapping to the title-class identifiers. The device identifies, based on scores, a subset of title-class identifiers that associate particular titles, of the standardized set of titles, and particular role classifications. The subset of title-class identifiers is stored in association with information relating to the particular titles. The device performs an action based on the information relating to the particular titles.

  • Patent number: 11657373
    Abstract: The proposed systems and methods describe an autonomous asset detection system that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) models for three-dimensional asset identification and damage detection, asset damage classification, automatic in-field asset tag readings, and real-time asset management. In some embodiments, a deep learning-based system receives a set of aerial images of one or more assets and automatically identifies each asset in the image(s) using rotational coordinates. In some embodiments, an image annotation tool labels the images either manually or automatically. The system then detects whether the asset is damaged and, if so, determine the type of damage, and further captures and stores asset tag information for the target asset. The collected and processed data is then provided to end-users via a comprehensive user interface platform for managing the assets in real-time.

  • Publication number: 20230132211
    Abstract: A system includes circuitry for rewriting blockchains in a non-tamper-evident or tamper-evident operation using a key secret held in portions by multiple individually untrusted parties. The blockchains may include a series of blocks secured by integrity codes that may prevent non-tamper-evident rewrites by non-trusted parties that are not in possession of the key secret or individually-untrusted parties in possession of only a portion of the key secret. In some cases, multiple individually-untrusted parties may combine their portions into the key secret. As a group, the multiple individually-untrusted parties may perform non-tamper-evident operation with respect to at least one integrity code within the blockchain.
