  • Patent number: 12320935
    Abstract: In some examples, a central hub receives, from a sensor node that is mounted to a wood item, a notification including sensor data comprising audio data captured by a microphone of the sensor node that is coupled to the wood item. The audio data is captured by the sensor node based at least in part on the sensor node determining that: an ambient temperature is greater than a temperature threshold, an ambient humidity is greater than a humidity threshold, and a moisture content of the wood item is greater than a moisture threshold. The hub performs an analysis of the sensor data using an artificial intelligence algorithm. Based on the analysis, the hub determines a presence of a pest in the wood item and sends a message, indicating the presence of the pest, to a computing device.

  • Patent number: 12323299
    Abstract: A server configuration tool is presented for autonomously configuring servers located in a network. The tool may autonomously configure multiple servers in parallel based on individual states of the servers, which may be periodically and simultaneously determined. For example, the tool may determine which action to take to begin or continue configuring the server based on the present state of each server. Server states (and corresponding actions) can be edited through a user interface to alter the server configuration process without code changes. At any one time, multiple servers may be in different states requiring different configuration operations to configure the servers to be ready for use. The present systems and methods can be used to move multiple servers iteratively through different configuration actions based on the individual state of each server and to perform non-conflicting configuration operations for multiple servers in parallel.
