Abstract: Information as to a group of devices which are part of a monitoring system, can be accumulated in one or more databases. The databases can be addressed via a computer network, such as the Internet. Monitoring systems can access one or more of the databases seeking identification of those devices that correspond to a selected criterion. A database can provide serial numbers of devices that meet the selected criteria. The respective monitoring system can determine if any local devices have serial numbers that match the received serial numbers. A trouble indicator can be generated in response thereto.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes determining that a first time point in a video has been reached during playback of the video. A dynamic relationship graph is displayed in association with the first time point, where the dynamic relationship graph illustrates one or more relationships among two or more characters in the video, responsive to the first time point being reached. The relationship graph includes two or more nodes and one or more edges. The nodes include a respective node representing each character of the two or more characters in the video, and the edges include a respective edge representing each relationship of the one or more relationships among the characters. It is determined that a second time point is reached in the video. The dynamic relationship graph is updated to represent a change in the one or more relationships between the first time point and the second time point.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for a providing stored procedures in a network-based database system. A database system executes a stored procedure within a sandbox process. The sandbox process separates the stored procedure from the other services and processes of the database system and may also limit the resources (e.g., storage, memory, etc.) and functionality available to the stored procedure. Stored procedures are commonly designed to execute database queries that are processed by other components of the database system. To provide for secure communication between the stored procedure and the other components of the database system, the sandbox process is loaded with java database connectivity (JDBC) libraries (e.g., JDBC instance) that is modified to limit the communication abilities of the stored procedure.

Abstract: A method for solving the track association problem updates and samples a marginal association likelihood conditioned upon existing track assignments and marginalized over possible sensor biases to assign tracks and build a full association hypothesis. The “sampling” is repeated multiple times for a given seed track pair and for different seed track pairs to quickly generate hypotheses that approximate the solution space. The probabilistic track association includes a plurality of likely full association hypotheses and a soft association matrix that probabilistically reflects the likelihood of the track association for a pair of sensors. Efficacy can be enhanced by sensing and processing non-metric features (e.g. size, shape, color) to supplement the metric features (e.g. location, velocity).
