  • Publication number: 20220261818
    Abstract: Determining entity reputation from at least one media data source includes using at least one of a text analysis model and a text mining model to determine if a sentiment toward an entity is positive, negative, or neutral by use of at least one media data point in at least one media data source and assigning a sentiment numerical value to the point based on whether the determined sentiment toward the entity is positive, negative, or neutral; determining at least one media reputation score of the entity; training a classification model to associate at least one media data point with at least one media reputation driver; using the model to associate at least one media data point with the driver, or determine the point cannot be associated with drivers; and determining an entity media reputation driver score for each of the drivers based on the media data source.

  • Publication number: 20200166661
    Abstract: The present technology is essentially a portable seismic survey system and method using reflection seismology for mapping subterranean formations. The device includes an upper assembly, a firing pin operably associated with a firing pin actuator, a lower assembly including a cartridge holder capable of retaining a blasting cartridge, and a detonation sensor capable of detecting detonation of the blasting cartridge. The system can further include an anchoring assembly, and an adjustable shield assembly. The detonation sensor transmits a signal to an event marking device to trigger a recordation of detonation time and geographic location of the seismic survey device. A seismic wave is generated upon detonation, which is then reflected back toward seismometers. Data from the event marking system and seismometers can then be processed to provide geological formation information.
