Abstract: Methods and systems described herein are directed to automatedly generating and issuing accident data gathering recommendations for a vehicle accident occurrence. In response to a recommendation system detecting an occurrence of a vehicle accident, the system can retrieve initial accident data for the occurrence. Using the initial accident data, the system can generate accident data gathering recommendations to obtain additional accident data via mapping to one or more characteristics for the vehicle accident occurrence. The recommendations, when executed, can yield additional accident data that can be compiled with the initial accident data into a vehicle accident evidence package.

Abstract: Monitoring patient vital signs is performed by analyzing videos recorded of a patient. An algorithm is used to compute the real-time patient vital signs based on video images of the patient. These images can be captured by a video monitoring device positioned over a patient's bed. The video monitoring device can include a thermal camera and a near infrared camera that continuously send video images to a processing unit. The thermal image is used to locate the patient's face and chest. The images are analyzed with an algorithm employed to determine a patient's heart rate, respiration rate, temperature, and body position.

Abstract: A device, system and method is provided for tracking network communication in a multi-protocol network. During the offline phase, a linkage graph may be generated representing network communication pathways of recorded messages comprising nodes representing network communication devices and edges representing direct communication paths pairwise connecting parent-child nodes over which the messages are transmitted. The linkage graph may be optimized by eliminating or reducing branching nodes. During a real-time online phase, for each new recorded message associated with a device node, tracing a communication pathway along edges of the optimized linkage graph by linking a sequence of nodes that connect sequential pairs of child-parent nodes extending from the device node to a root node. Simultaneous to linking each node to the device node, a network traffic metric for the linked node(s) may be accumulated to quickly and efficiently track the network traffic metric for the new recorded message.

Abstract: A horizontal flow water treatment method and wetland biofilter apparatus provides a chamber with impermeable outer walls spaced away from permeable interior walls of a media filtration bed such that a catch basin is formed between the outer walls and the interior walls. The catch basin creates an open area around the perimeter of the interior walls for influent water to fill within the open area before penetrating the filtration media, providing a large surface area for influent water to interact with the media filtration bed. The influent water enters the catch basin in a horizontal flow path to provide for pre-settling of particulates before making contact with the filtration media. The biofilter design increases the available surface area of the media filtration bed by up to four times for a given volume of water, and thereby minimizes the loading or infiltration rate on the media filtration bed.
