Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are directed to automated preparation of food or consumable items, such as for preparation of fried foods. An example cooking apparatus may include processing devices for the consumable items. In some examples, a robot arm is provided that extends from a moveable base. Locators may define a relative position of the moveable base relative to processing device(s) of the cooking apparatus, such that the robot arm is configured to determine robot arm movements to move the consumable items to and from the processing device(s). In some examples, one or more zones may be used to detect movement near a robot arm, with one or more restrictions being placed upon robot arm and/or base movement in response. In some examples, a cooking apparatus provides automated transport of food ingredients for preparation of food or other consumable items.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for generating a cyber-deception strategy that adaptively implement a decoy file placement strategy for thwarting malicious activity on a computing network. The systems and methods can include a plurality of surveillance services that can monitor the evolving conditions and states of a target computing network. The information from the external surveillance services can be combined with one or more user defined parameters to serve as inputs to a system that can use the input data to generate a decoy file content and placement strategy so as to effect a cyber-deception strategy. In one or more examples, can identify one or more target objects to use as decoys and use the identified targeted objects as well as information about the target network, to generate a high-level guidelines that will be used to generate one or more deception plans for implementation on the target network.

Abstract: A system and method of supplying insurance and financial benefits is provided. The method can include the step of entering into an insurance contract between a policyholder and an insurance provider. A beneficiary can be identified to be insured under the insurance contract and to receive selected benefits based on a significant health event for the policyholder. The selected benefits can be provided to the beneficiary upon an occurrence of the significant health event of the policyholder.
