Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a server computer, data of a communication device; training, by the server computer, a neural network model based on the data of the communication device and communication device metadata from one or more additional communication devices, to generate a machine learning model configured to determine, based on a metadata associated with an application, a security value related to an indication of a security threat; and transmitting the machine learning model to the communication device. The communication device can use the machine learning model to determine the security value, by inputting the metadata associated with the application, as a vectorized data into the machine learning model. The communication device can determine whether to run or install the application based upon the security value.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a method for determining an interview script in a claims submission. The method may comprising receiving data relating to a claim being submitted, which may include claims submission data input by a user, information relating to the user, and one or more features. Data associated with the one or more features may be determined from an artificial intelligence model. A first score based on the data associated with the one or more features and data associated with the information relating to the user may be determined and used to determine an interview script. In one embodiment, questions in the interview script may continue to be provided to the interviewer computer if a continually updated score remains above a predetermined threshold. In another embodiment, the user may be routed to a live interview with a human representative if a continually updated score drops below a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: An optical sensor uses a MEMS MMA to scan a narrow laser beam over a transmit FOR to provide active illumination and to correct the beam profile (e.g., collimate the beam, reduce chromatic aberrations, correct the beam profile or wavefront). A staring detector senses light within a receive FOR that at least partially overlaps the transmit FOR. By completely eliminating the dual-axis gimbal, this sensor architecture greatly reduces the volume and weight of the optical sensor while avoiding the deficiencies of known systems associated with either fiber or free-space coupling of the laser beam into an existing receiver.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a method of performing autonomous learning for updating input features used for an artificial intelligence model, the method comprising receiving updated data of an information space that includes a graph of nodes having a defined topology, the updated data including historical data of requests to the artificial intelligence model and output results associated with the requests, wherein different categories of input data corresponds to different input nodes of the graph. The method may further comprise updating edge connections between the nodes of the graph by performing path optimizations that each use a set of agents to explore the information space over cycles to reduce a cost function, each connection including a strength value, wherein during each path optimization, path information is shared between the rest of agents at each cycle for determining a next position value for each of the set of agents in the graph.

Abstract: An EO/IR optical imaging system comprises collection optics to collect light from a scene into a collimated or near-collimated space. An imaging detector is positioned at the image plane and configured to integrate incident light (radiant flux or photons) over an image frame and readout a sequence of pixelated images at a frame rate, said detector exhibiting a saturation threshold. To prevent saturation of the imaging detector, a MEMS MMA is positioned in the collimated or near-collimated space. A secondary detector (via a pick-off) samples light from the collimated or near-collimated space multiple times per image frame. A controller responsive to the sampled light commands a percentage of the mirrors to re-direct light incident on those mirrors to a light dump and commands the remaining mirrors to re-direct light incident on those mirrors to the imaging detector.

Abstract: An optical scanning system includes one or more Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) Micro-Mirror Arrays (MMAs) used to scan a field-of-view (FOV) over a field-of-regard (FOR). The MEMS MMA is configured such that optical radiation from each point in the FOV does not land on or originate from out-of-phase mirror segments and a diffraction limited resolution of the optical system is limited by the size of the entrance pupil and not by the size of individual mirrors.

Abstract: A projectile including an ejectable aft fin housing assembly. The aft fin housing assembly includes aft fins that increase a distance between a center of gravity and a center of pressure of the projectile, improving passive stabilization of the projectile. Once the projectile has been passively stabilized, the aft fin housing assembly is ejected, decreasing a distance between the center of gravity and the center of pressure, improving active stabilization of the projectile.

Abstract: Small angle optical beam steering is performed using a Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) Micro-Mirror Array (MMA) that minimizes diffraction for a specified steering angle, Generally speaking, this is accomplished with a MEMS MMA that exhibits a “piston” capability to translate individual mirrors in addition to the tip and tilt capabilities. Adjacent mirrors can be tipped/tilted to the specified steering angle and then translated by a requisite amount to approximate a continuous surface. For a specified steering angle, the MEMS MMA is partitioned into one or more sections with each section including the maximum number of mirrors that can be grouped together and actuated to approximate a continuous surface given a maximum translation z. As a result, the only edge discontinuities exist between adjacent sections thereby minimizing distortion for a given steering angle.

Abstract: Client devices can send access request messages to resource management computers to request access to a resource. A data security hub can provide centralized routing between different client devices, resource management computers, and authentication data processing servers. The data security hub can reduce the risk of sensitive authentication information from leaking (e.g., due to a breach) by limiting the amount or types of authentication information distributed to the data processing servers. The data security hub can limited the authentication information being distributed based on its sensitivity, the trust level of the client device, and the security level of the requested resource. The data security hub can also evaluate the client devices and data processing servers to identify security breaches and can cancel or reroute access requests accordingly. Thus, the data security hub can maintain resource security while better preserving the privacy of the client device's authentication information.

Abstract: A distributed secured database system includes a ledger, a transmitting device, edge devices, and a time synchronization source. An evolving nonce is generated at the transmitting device and the edge devices. The evolving nonce is time-synced across the transmitting device and the edge devices. A hash value is generated at the transmitting device and the edge devices using the evolving nonce. The hash value is verified at the transmitting device and each of the edge devices during a particular time frame. A block is added to the distributed secured database system when the hash value is verified by the transmitting device and the edge devices.

Abstract: A beam steering architecture for an optical sensor is based upon a pair of Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) Micro-Mirror Arrays (MMAs) and a fold mirror. The MEMS MMAs scan both primary and secondary FOR providing considerable flexibility to scan a scene to provide not only active imaging (to supplement passive imaging) but also simultaneously allowing for other optical functions such as establishing a communications link, providing an optical transmit beam for another detection platform or determining a range to target. A special class of MEMS MMAs that provides a “piston” capability in which the individual mirrors may translate enables a suite of optical functions to “shape” the optical transmit beam.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for transcompiling non-distributed source code for a non-distributed software program into a distributed software package for implementation on a distributed computing system. A transcompiler can identify loops within non-distributed source code written in a data-driven language. The transcompiler can generate MapReduce jobs using mapper keys based on grouping indicators associated with each of the loops. The MapReduce jobs can be linked together based on input-output connections of the loops in the non-distributed source code. Then, the transcompiler can generate a distributed software package including the generated MapReduce jobs to implement the same functionality as the non-distributed source code on the distributed computing system, thereby improving the speed of execution over very large datasets. The distributed software package can be optimized using machine learning searching algorithms.
