Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for a driver monitoring system. The driver monitoring system includes an internal vehicle camera, an internal vehicle display, and an electronic control unit (ECU). When a driver enters the vehicle, a request (e.g., an agreement) can be displayed to the vehicle driver so as to prompt the vehicle driver to provide a driver input. In response to the vehicle driver providing the driver input, the ECU can adjust an allowable glance time. The ECU can be configured to determine, using the camera, that the eye position of the vehicle driver is such that a gaze direction of the vehicle driver is not toward a direction of travel of the vehicle for a duration that exceeds the adjusted glance time. In response thereto, the ECU can be configured to initiate a countermeasure to encourage a corrective response from the vehicle driver.

By monitoring the temperature status of the item over time, the system determines when the food has reached the desired temperature or degree of cooking, and notifies the user.

Abstract: Systems and methods communicate an intent of an autonomous vehicle externally. In one implementation, scan data of a field around a travel path of an autonomous vehicle is obtained. The scan data is captured using at least one sensor. An object in the field around the travel path is determined from the scan data. The object is determined to be mutable or immutable. A navigation condition associated with the object is determined based on whether the object is mutable or immutable. The navigation condition is correlated to a portion of the travel path. Control operation(s) of the autonomous vehicle is determined for the portion of the travel path in response to the navigation condition. A representation link between the control operation(s) of the autonomous vehicle and the object is generated. A representation of the field around the travel path is rendered and includes the representation link.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus provide an in-ground pedestrian crosswalk signaling actuator. An in-ground crosswalk control and signaling (ICCS) apparatus displays a crosswalk signal status and enables a pedestrian seeking to cross a street to depress the in-ground actuator button to change a signal status from a STOP signal to a GO signal. When a traffic signal controller of the ICCS apparatus detects a street-level button actuation, the controller initiates a status change countdown. In response to the countdown being completed, the controller changes the signal status to the GO signal. In addition, the controller triggers a display of a street-level signal indicating the current GO signal status. According to an aspect, the controller is electrically connected to a vehicular traffic light system, and a manual pedestrian crosswalk signal apparatus with which the ICCS apparatus remains synchronized.

Abstract: Reducing false positive computer security alerts is provided. A dataset is ingested that comprises a number of security alerts with resolution status. The alerts comprise data fields which are then tokenized. Cardinality is calculated for each tokenized data field compared against the whole dataset. Entropy is calculated for each tokenized value. A combined token score is generated for each tokenized field based on cardinality and entropy. Each combined token score is compared against all tokenized fields for the alerts. Each combined token score is adjusted based on the comparison. Any tokens resolved as true positives are excluded. A generative language model generates an exclusion condition based on the adjusted token scores. The exclusion condition is run against a second dataset to generate a score. The exclusion condition and its score are presented to a user. Responsive to user acceptance, the exclusion condition is deployed to filter false positive alerts.
