  • Eventing systems and methods to facilitate robust event processing
    Patent number: 12192309
    Abstract: A device for facilitating event processing is presented. The device includes a transceiver, one or more memories including an event processing model, and one or more processors. The processors retrieve a new event from an application programming interface (API). The processors then parse the new event to determine a parsed event and store the parsed event in the memories. After determining the presence or absence of an additional new event via the API, the processors transmit a notification for display to a user indicating the parsed event and prompting a user to process the parsed event, resulting in either a successful or a failure processing signal. Responsive to receiving a failure processing signal, the processors schedule a subsequent notification for transmission to the user device according to an event processing model by using an exponential back-off and a random jitter.

  • Method for operating a metal drop ejecting three-dimensional (3D) object printer to form electrical circuits on substrates
    Patent number: 12186992
    Abstract: A method of operating a three-dimensional (3D) metal object manufacturing apparatus selects operational parameters for operation of the printer to form conductive metal traces on substrates with dimensions within appropriate tolerances and with sufficient conductive material to carry electrical currents without burning up or becoming too hot. The method identifies the material of the substrate and the bulk metal being melted for ejection and uses this identification data to select the operational parameters. Thus, the method can form conductive traces and circuits on a wide range of substrate materials including polymeric substrates, semiconductor materials, oxide layers on semiconductor materials, glass, and other crystalline materials.

  • Anomaly detection in a split timeseries dataset
    Patent number: 12189589
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for improving anomaly detection in timeseries datasets. Different machine learning models may be trained to process specific types of timeseries data efficiently and accurately. Thus, selecting a proper machine learning model for identifying anomalies in a specific set of timeseries data may greatly improve accuracy and efficiency of anomaly detection. Another way to improve anomaly detection is to process a multitude of timeseries datasets for a time period (e.g., 90 days) to detect anomalies from those timeseries datasets and then correlate those detected anomalies by generating an anomaly timeseries dataset and identifying anomalies within the anomaly timeseries dataset. Yet another way to improve anomaly detection is to divide a dataset into multiple datasets based on a type of anomaly detection requested.

  • Camera calibration for underexposed cameras using traffic signal targets
    Patent number: 12187316
    Abstract: The present technology pertains to determining whether traffic signal cameras of an AV are miscalibrated. One technique for determining if a given traffic signal camera is miscalibrated includes obtaining an image from a traffic signal camera, marking the location of a traffic signal in the image with a bounding box, and determining if the light sources of the traffic signal are within the bounding box. If not, an alternate reason check is performed to determine whether an alternate reason exists for why the light source of the traffic signal is not within the bounding box. If no such reason exists, then the traffic signal camera may be miscalibrated. An additional calibration check may be performed using images from two traffic signal cameras of the AV each having four common light sources, and performing a homographic computation using the location of the light sources in the images.

The third ring may be positioned adjacent to, and concentric with, the second ring. The second ring may be disposed radially inward from the third ring. The first ring may also contact a surface of the roller cone or an insert ring adjacent the roller cone to form a seal between the first ring and the surface.

  • System and method for management of perpetual inventory values based upon customer product purchases
    Patent number: 12190290
    Abstract: A data structure programmatically links the first product to a second product. The second product is historically purchased by the customer whenever the customer has also purchased the first product. A determination is made as to whether the customer purchased the second product together with the first product based upon the sales data. When the customer has failed to purchase the second product with the first product, instructions are transmitted to the retail store over the network to perform a verification that the second product is out-of-stock. An outcome of the verification from the retail store is received via the network. A determination is made as to a level of certainty that the second product is actually out-of-stock based upon an analysis of the sales data and the outcome of the verification. When the level of certainty exceeds a predetermined threshold, the PI value is adjusted to zero.

  • Updating a state of a client device based on an event that includes a subset of records that identify binaries associated with the client device
    Patent number: 12190176
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of updating a state of a client device using a limited event size protocol. An initial state of the client device is stored. The initial state is defined by first records that identify first respective binaries associated with the client device at a first time. A first event of multiple events, which are configured in accordance with the limited event size protocol, is received from the client device. Each event includes a respective subset of second records, which identify respective second binaries associated with the client device at a second time. The first event is parsed to identify a first subset of the second records that is included in the first event. An updated state of the client device is generated by replacing a first portion of the first records with the first subset of the second records.
