Abstract: An event deduplication system may efficiently perform event deduplication (identifying “new” or “unique” events that might be an anomaly) by using a first stage that has multiple first stage processes running in parallel (e.g., at different data centers) and a single second stage that has a second stage process that receives and processes events from the different first stage processes. The second stage process updates a global state (e.g., lookup table) and periodically publishes the global state to the first stage processes to update their local state. When the second stage process receives a possible new event from a first stage process, it may more accurately determine whether the event is actually a new event based on the global state.

Abstract: A method of forming a composite part from a mufti-ply prepreg composite charge comprises reducing pressure inside a bladder, located in a chamber that is at atmospheric pressure, below the atmospheric pressure. The method also comprises placing the multi-ply prepreg composite charge, having a first shape, in the chamber and reducing pressure inside the chamber below the atmospheric pressure. The method additionally comprises, while maintaining pressure inside the chamber below the atmospheric pressure, expanding the bladder within the chamber by increasing pressure inside the bladder to the atmospheric pressure, so that the multi-ply prepreg composite charge is compressed between the bladder and a forming tool, which is located inside the chamber, and the multi-ply prepreg composite charge is configured by the forming tool to a second shape, different from the first shape. The method also comprises curing the multi-ply prepreg composite charge, having the second shape.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for a gearbox lockout device. It may be desirable in certain vehicles to lock a drive shaft within a gearbox for a period of time. Lockout embodiments under the present disclosure include a shaft configured to selectively engage the drive shaft via teeth. An inner and outer collar surrounding the shaft can be manipulated to restrict the movement of the shaft once the shaft's teeth are engaged with the teeth of the drive shaft. The system can be torqued up and locked in place. This can allow for more safe transporting of the vehicle, easier maintenance, or other advantages.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide methods and systems for evaluating and recording a property of a system of interest (SOI) such as, e.g., a property of artificial intelligence (AI), and recording a change to the property of the SOI, e.g., recording a morphism of AI. Recording an SOI property, and any property changes, may include recording a digital property of the SOI to a blockchain. An SOI morphism may be recorded to a blockchain as one or more hash values of an encoding of the SOI. An SOI morphism may be autonomously or exogenously generated and recorded to the blockchain. The records on the blockchain may indemnify one or more parties associated with the SOI. Indemnifying may include executing a smart contract on a blockchain to mitigate risk of loss. An SOI may be asked to complete one or more tests to distinguish between a human, AI, and non-AI programs.

Abstract: A recording of a call is authenticated using a distributed transaction ledger. A call between two or more participants is recorded to generate a call recording. A record of the call recording is stored within a distributed transaction ledger. At a later time, such as in response to an access request for auditing or an authentication request, the call recording is authenticated based on information associated with the record within the distributed transaction ledger. An indication of the authentication is then output, such as for further processing or display.

Abstract: A linear energy harvesting device that includes a housing and a piston that moves at least partially through the housing when it is compressed or extended from a rest position. When the piston moves, hydraulic fluid is pressurized and drives a hydraulic motor. The hydraulic motor drives an electric generator that produces electricity. Both the motor and generator are central to the device housing. Exemplary configurations are disclosed such as monotube, twin-tube, tri-tube and rotary based designs that each incorporates an integrated energy harvesting apparatus. By varying the electrical characteristics on an internal generator, the kinematic characteristics of the energy harvesting apparatus can be dynamically altered. In another mode, the apparatus can be used as an actuator to create linear movement.

Abstract: Systems and methods presented herein generally provide for the compensation of asset providers and/or communications network providers for the non-consumption of assets provided with programming. In this regard, when users elect not to consume the assets associated with the programming, the asset provider loses the opportunity to present their assets to such non-consuming users and is thereby injured in relation to the price they have paid for the delivery of their assets. In one arrangement, a reporting module at a customer device is operative to identify when a user skips an asset and report that skip event to the network. This information may then be utilized to adjust the bill of the asset provider and/or to bill the user associated with the skip event.

Abstract: A solution is disclosed for computer hardware replacement using performance analytics that selects replacement computer hardware based on actual user needs and enterprise priorities. Key performance data is collected and compared with various baselines, thereby identifying hardware that is performing below acceptable levels. Enterprise data and collected data are received from an instrumented operating system on a computing device. The collected data includes boot performance, application performance, and hardware performance. Based at least on the collected data, a usability score is determined by performing a weighted calculation on the collected data. Based at least on the usability score and the enterprise data, it is determined whether a score improvement is required. Based at least on the enterprise data, a score improvement selection is determined. The score improvement selection is reported based at least on determining that a score improvement is required.
