  • Patent number: 10848389
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for prioritizing network traffic. In one aspect, a method includes collecting, for local networks, traffic data representing communication traffic over the local network for a period of time; determining, for each of the network devices included in the networks, a device type of the network device and at least one device priority value for the network device; training a device prioritization model, using the traffic data and the device priority values of the devices, receiving, by the device prioritization model, for a local network, a list of network devices that are included in the local network; and generating, by the device prioritization model, a prioritization scheme for the local network that prioritizes device traffic among the network devices based on the device types and device priority values of the network devices.

  • Publication number: 20200287852
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for instantiating a dialog process at a particular child node state. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a request specifying a particular child node state of a dialog process, instantiating the dialog process at the root node state, providing input responses to the dialog process that cause the dialog process to traverse from the root node state to the particular child node state, where each input response is provided in response to an input request, and providing data that causes a user device to present the dialog process at the particular child node state.

  • Patent number: 9336503
    Abstract: A method for risk mitigation comprises calculating on at least one processor, a likelihood of occurrence for a risk event, a degree of disruption for the risk event and a disruption time for the risk event. Each risk event is in a list of risk events. The likelihood of occurrence is based on a frequency of risk of the risk event. The degree of disruption is based on a severity of risk of the risk event. The disruption time is based on a duration of restoring an asset to a condition prior to the risk event. A value at risk based on the likelihood of occurrence, the degree of disruption and the disruption time is determined for the risk event. A mitigation action is determined to reduce the value at risk. An indication of the mitigating action is presented on a user interface.

  • Patent number: 7503618
    Abstract: A wheeled automotive vehicle including a body structure, including a driver compartment and including an opening into the compartment. A door is cooperatively dimensioned and configured to close the opening, the opening being formed by portions of the body structure at the front and rear side of the opening. A hinge is pivotably holding the door, in a first position, at one of the front and rear side of the opening. A guide system is provided along a lower portion of the door on the same side of the opening as the hinge. During opening, the door is maneuverable upwardly along the guide system until it reaches the first position. From the first position, the door is pivotally movable around an axis, propagating in the transverse direction of the vehicle, and in a direction away from the opening.
