Abstract: Systems and methods are described for managing high volumes of alerts to increase security, reduce noise, reduce duplication of work, and increase productivity of analysts dealing with and triaging alerts. A work unit queue may be configured to buffer or smooth workflows and decouple heavy processing which may improve performance and scalability to prevent duplicate assignments. Queueing services provide lag times to prevent over-assignment or double assignment of alerts to work units. System security may be improved by creating an authentication or verification step before allowing users to update alert statuses such that only users with work unit tokens that match alert tokens may update alert statuses.

Abstract: A method may include a database storing a plurality of tasks, each task having a task ID, a date, a severity level, an enterprise ID, a status, and an assignment field; a user device; a processor; and a server configured to receive a work unit request from the user device, the request comprising a strategy for selecting tasks; create a work unit, the work unit having a state indicator; assign a token ID to the work unit; select a task from the database based on the strategy; add the task ID for the selected task to the work unit to create a populated work unit; change the status of the selected task to indicate the task is checked out; insert the token ID into the assignment field; send the populated work unit to the user device; and change the state indicator to indicate the work unit is checked out.

Abstract: A method is provided for coordinating detection of emitted signals by a receiver with transmission of signals by a transmitter, wherein the receiver and the transmitter are located on the same platform. The receiver scans a surrounding environment to detect emitted signals in multiple frequency ranges while the transmitter transmits signals in a predetermined frequency range. The receiver may employ dwells which may be defined as receiver configurations. A dwell, when executed, may be used to detect signals in a certain frequency range. If a frequency range of the dwell conflicts with the frequency range of transmitter signals, which may result in interference of transmitter signals with detection of emitted signals, execution of the dwell may be delayed. If the frequency range of the dwell is such that transmitter signals do not interfere with execution of the dwell, the dwell can be executed.

Abstract: Signals-of-interest are identified by distinguishing such signals from signals constituting environmental or internal receiver noise. A received signal is rapidly sampled in order to set a dynamic, system threshold. Signals above the threshold constitute signals-of-interest.

Abstract: An amusement ride provides an interactive experience to its passengers. The amusement ride includes at least one ride vehicle movable along a track. The amusement ride senses inputs from at least one passenger that affects various elements of the ride. The elements can be the speed of the vehicle, acceleration of the vehicle, direction of travel, orientation of the ride vehicle or the like. The inputs can be audible inputs or optical inputs, water spray, or can be activated manually by the passengers.

Abstract: Apparatus for generating clocking pulses from serially transmitted data in which a level shift recurs with each bit. The circuit uses a coincidence of data word recognition and initial level shift to generate an initial clock pulse and thereafter uses the delayed clock pulses and level shift to produce subsequent clock pulses. A data word recognition circuit is also disclosed that employs a delay line for examining the profile of a synchronizing wave form.
