Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for a drone elimination muffler to attenuate drone exhibited by engine exhaust systems. The drone elimination muffler comprises a hollow canister having a length and a diameter, and a tuned port comprising a first end connected to the canister and a second end connected to the exhaust system. The canister operates in concert with the tuned port as a dampener configured to substantially attenuate exhaust drone, or resonance, at one or more frequencies of engine operation. A valve is configured to switch the drone elimination muffler between a closed state in which the exhaust system operates without acoustic influence due to the drone elimination muffler, and an open state in which the drone elimination muffler directly influences the acoustic properties of the exhaust system.

Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses/systems, and media for implementing an automated data extraction, formatting, and distribution module are disclosed. A receiver receives input data to create a feed from a user via a user interface (UI). A processor operatively coupled to the receiver defines reusable data sets to be utilized for creating the feed; and selects desired number of a plurality of first selectable icons for selecting exact data from the reusable data sets required for creating the feed. Each of the selected first selectable icon is associated with a corresponding data source having columns to supply the exact data from the reusable data sets. The processor selects desired number of a plurality of second selectable icons for selecting a desired transformation or formatting process needed for the columns of each data source; creates the feed and defines a custom distribution process of the created feed from the UI.

Abstract: A method and system for detecting whether a person is engaged in an online meeting are provided. The method includes: receiving a streaming input image of a face of the person; capturing, from the streaming input image, still images of the face of the person; extracting facial features from the still images; labeling each still image as being either engaged or not engaged; and determining, based on the labels, a score that indicates a level of engagement of the person with respect to the online meeting. The labeling is performed by applying an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm to the still images and the facial features. The AI algorithm is then applied to images of other meeting participants in order to obtain a composite score that indicates a global level of engagement for the online meeting.

Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses/systems, and media for integrating incompatible open identity connect (OIDC) implementations are disclosed. A processor creates a custom protocol within an API gateway that understands data coming in from the aIDC protocol; receives data from the OIDC protocol; and determines, based on analyzing the data received from the aIDC protocol, any communication gap between an application and an identity layer, wherein the API gateway is implemented between the application and the identity layer. The processor then converts, in response to determining a communication gap, the data received from the aIDC protocol into a formatted data that is understandable by the application; transmits the formatted data to the application; and automatically eliminates any communication gap between the application and the identity layer based on the received formatted data.
