  • Patent number: 11934376
    Abstract: A database management engine provides a user interface that allows users to access and modify employee information in a database. The database includes entries for employees, and each database entry includes identifying information about the associated employee. A user can request to modify data within database entries, for instance in order to update information associated with an employee. Responsive to the request, the database management engine identifies liabilities associated with the database modification stemming from associated tax laws. Based on the identified tax liabilities, the engine computes the aggregate tax liability owed by the employer and/or employee. Before modifying a database entry, the engine modifies the user interface to include interface elements detailing the computed aggregate tax liability. The user explicitly can be required to confirm the database modification in view of the aggregate tax liability.

  • Patent number: 11810346
    Abstract: An imaging system comprises an imaging platform, a camera operatively connected to the imaging platform, and a controller operatively connected to control the imaging platform and the camera. The controller includes machine readable instructions configured to cause the controller to perform a method.

  • Patent number: 10878292
    Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method for automatically recognizing a new class in a classification system. The method includes accessing components of a trained convolutional neural network (CNN) that has been trained with available classes. The components are provided in a kernel space and include at least one of a plurality of kernels and a plurality of neurons of one or more layers of the CNN. Furthermore, the components are assigned to a class in accordance with the training. The method further includes applying a covariance matrix to map the components in the kernel space to eigenspace; determining, for each of the available classes, an eigen-distance between a sample and the components mapped to eigenspace; based on the eigen-distance, determining whether the sample is an outlier that does not belong to one of the classes; and creating a new class that includes the sample if determined that the sample is an outlier.
