  • Patent number: 11342051
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for automated contact tracing using multiple data sources. In some implementations, a system uses location data generated based on one or more types of signals, such as GPS signals, WI-FI signals, signals from cellular base stations, signals from short-range wireless technology (e.g., BLUETOOTH), and so on. The system also prompts users for information regarding their locations and the conditions present at the locations, either at the time a user is present or later. With this information, the system compares the tracked locations for different individuals to identify instances of contacts in which criteria for disease transmission potential are met, e.g., when two individuals have certain levels of proximity and timing. Detected instances of contacts can be used to inform individuals of exposure to a disease, as well as to notify public health authorities.

  • Patent number: 11234429
    Abstract: In some implementations, a pest detector may receive sensor data from a sensor. The pest detector may determine, using a machine learning algorithm, that the sensor data indicates a presence of a first type of pest. The pest detector may send a notification message, including at least a portion of the sensor data, to a computing device and visually indicate that the first type of pest was detected using an indicator. The pest detector may receive an update to the machine learning algorithm from a server and install the update to create an updated machine learning algorithm. The pest detector may receive second sensor data and determine, using the updated machine learning algorithm, that the second sensor data indicates the presence of a second type of pest that is not recognized by the machine learning algorithm.

  • Patent number: 11234428
    Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device may receive a notification from a pest detector. In response, the computing device may initiate execution of a software application and display a user interface. The user interface may enable playback of the notification, such as displaying a photograph of a pest or playing back audio of noise made by the pest. The user interface may display a floor plan of a building along with a location of the pest detector and additional locations of additional pest detectors located in the building superimposed on the floor plan. The user interface may enable selecting a particular building of multiple buildings, a particular floor of multiple floors, or a particular room of multiple rooms. The user interface may display where pests have been detected superimposed on the floor plan.

  • Patent number: 11224359
    Abstract: Abnormal motions are detected in sensor data collected with respect to performance of repetitive human activities. An autoencoder network model is trained based on a set of standard activity. Repetitive activity is extracted from sensor data. A first score is generated indicative of distance of a repetition of the repetitive activity from the standard activity. The repetitive activity is used to retrain the autoencoder network model, using weights of the autoencoder network model as initial values, the weights being based on the training of the autoencoder network model using the set of standard activity. A second score is generated indicative of whether the repetition is an outlier as compared to other repetitions of the repetitive activity. A final score is generated based on a weighting of the first score and the second score.

  • Patent number: 11185252
    Abstract: A method and system for determining an amount of risk an air pollutant poses to a subject. A risk level is calculated by determining a dosage of the air pollutant, received by the subject over a predetermined period of time, and obtaining historic information about historic dosages of the air pollutant. The risk level is then calculated using the dosage and the historic information to thereby determine a risk level associated with the accumulated deposition of the air pollutant in the portion of the subject's respiratory tract.
