  • Patent number: 12381773
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for reducing or mitigation alert fatigue from real-time alerts in cyber-physical systems or other types of edge computing systems are provided. In one or more examples, the edge computing system monitor can look for one or more patterns within received data that can indicate malicious activity or other conditions that may warrant a real-time or near-real time response from the operator. In one or more examples, a detection of any of the specified patterns in the streaming data can trigger an alert to the operator of the edge computing system. In one or more examples, the alerts can be suppressed until the number of alerts associated with a particular pattern crosses a pre-determined threshold. Additionally or alternatively, alerts can be suppressed based on a duration that the alerts have been generated. The suppression of alerts can be configured to reduce operator alert fatigue.

  • Patent number: 12346735
    Abstract: In some examples, a system includes a plurality of drivers for respective backend systems that are to perform workload tasks. A workload service receives, from a workload manager, job information relating to a workload, the job information submitted by a requester and the job information uninterpreted by the workload manager. In response to receiving the job information, the workload service presents state information representing states of the workload. As the state information is updated during performance of tasks of the workload by at least one driver of the plurality of drivers, the workload service provides the updated state information to the plurality of drivers.

  • Publication number: 20250036085
    Abstract: Timers including an hourglass, a frame, and a trigger. The hourglass includes a top globe, a bottom globe, and a neck. The neck defines a sand passageway between the top globe and the bottom globe. The frame pivotally supports the hourglass at the neck. The trigger is pivotally coupled to the frame in a position to be engaged by the bottom globe when the hourglass pivots on the frame to a selected extent. The hourglass is configured to allow the sand to flow from the top globe to the bottom globe through the neck under the influence of gravity. The hourglass pivots on the frame in response to sand flowing from the top globe to the bottom globe. The selected extent the hourglass must pivot for the bottom globe to engage the trigger corresponds to a selected amount of time. Some examples further include a sonic device and/or a base.

  • Patent number: 12117525
    Abstract: A presence detection system includes a presence detection field of an amusement park attraction, multiple transmitters, multiple receivers, and a controller. The multiple transmitters send multiple light beams of multiple wavelengths and the multiple receivers receive the multiple light beams of the multiple wavelengths. The controller receives input from the multiple transmitters and receivers and determines presence of an object in the presence detection field based on an interruption of the multiple light beams as indicated by the input. The controller also determines reflected light beams of the multiple wavelengths, absorbed light beams of the multiple wavelengths, or both, based on the input. The controller determines the object as a known object or an unknown object based at least in part on the reflected light beams, the absorbed light beams, or both.
