  • Patent number: 12381905
    Abstract: In some examples, a system detects a first alert associated with activities of a first group of entities, the first alert generated by a first type of security agent. The system predicts an alert collection including one or more alerts expected to occur based on occurrence of the first alert, wherein a second alert of the alert collection is from a second type of security agent different from the first type of security agent. The system generates one or more remediation actions to apply in response to a pattern of alerts including the first alert and the one or more alerts of the alert collection. The system provides, in an electronic device to be protected against attacks, information of the one or more remediation actions to be applied by the electronic device responsive to occurrence of the pattern of alerts.

  • Publication number: 20250189964
    Abstract: An unmanned device for a marine environment comprises a location sensor configured to gather location data corresponding to the unmanned device; at least one propulsion system; a transmitter and memory including computer program code. The computer program code is configured to, when executed, cause the processor to cause the propulsion system to propel the unmanned device in a pattern along the body of water, cause the sonar transducer to emit the one or more sonar beams into the body of water, receive sonar return data corresponding to sonar returns, and generate a sonar image corresponding to the sonar return data. Further, the computer program code is configured to cause the processor to detect an object within the sonar image, assign a score to the object indicating the likelihood that the object is a desired object type, and send an alert to the remote electronics device upon assignment of the score.

  • Publication number: 20250179848
    Abstract: A door lock device includes a base plate and a pivot hook connected to the base plate that is configured to pivot about a pivot axis. A guard arm is connected to the base plate that extends past an end of the pivot hook such that the pivot hook rests against the guard arm when pivoted to an engaged position. The pivot hook is configured to be biased against guard arm due, at least in part, to a force applied by a chain connected to the pivot hook.

  • Publication number: 20250154864
    Abstract: Systems and methods may initiate the testing process to measure contaminants in the water, for example, by adding the tracer solution (e.g., as a gas) to a water system absent releasing the tracer solution into the surrounding environment during the testing process, then removing the tracer solution to a container after the testing process is complete. The amount of tracer solution that remains in the water system can be compared with a predicted concentration value determined by a model. In some examples, an action may be initiated based on the difference between the measured value and the predicted value.

  • Publication number: 20250131382
    Abstract: A system for intelligent AI-based optimization of processing of job applicants. The system includes a processor of a recruitment server connected to an applicant data provider node over a network and a memory on which are stored machine-readable instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: receive data related to an applicant for a position from the applicant's data provider node; parse the data by a skill filter to derive a plurality of matching features; provide the plurality of the matching features to a machine learning (ML) module; receive a recommendation from the ML module pertaining to interviewing the applicant; responsive to a receipt of a positive recommendation, access live interview data; derive a feature vector from the live interview data; pass the feature vector to the ML module; and receive predictive outputs from the ML module indicating a degree to which the applicant fits the position.

  • Patent number: 12232031
    Abstract: Lightweight messaging between a cloud-based platform and a compact wireless device. The wireless device may transmit an initial message to a cloud-based platform, and receive an initial response message from the platform that specifies an interval. In response, the wireless device may transmit a reporting message to the platform that identifies the wireless device and indicates a status of the wireless device, set a reporting interval to the specified interval, and, upon expiration of the reporting interval, transmit a new reporting message to the platform. The reporting interval may be subsequently changed by update messages from the platform. In an embodiment, to reduce resource consumption at the wireless device, the wireless device does not transmit an acknowledgement message to the platform in response to the update messages. Rather, the platform infers acknowledgement based on subsequent actions of the wireless device.

  • Publication number: 20240411872
    Abstract: In some examples, a security system detects an alert generated in response to an operation on a device, the operation involving a first process and a first entity. In response to the alert, the security system discovers a second entity that is outside a scope of the alert, and applies remediation actions with respect to the first process, the first entity, and the second entity to address the alert.

  • Publication number: 20240411868
    Abstract: In some examples, a system monitors operations in at least one electronic device in which entities are started, created, or modified, and generates an alert based on the monitoring. The system adapts an amount of data collected based on contextual information associated with the alert, where the adapting of the amount of data collected comprises determining whether to include or exclude data associated with a subset of the entities based on any relationships of the subset of the entities to an entity associated with the alert.

  • Publication number: 20240392381
    Abstract: We found mutations of the R132 residue of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) in the majority of grade II and III astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas as well as in gliblastomas that develop from these lower grade lesions. Those tumors without mutations in IDH1 often had mutations at the analogous R172 residue of the closely related IDH2 gene. These findings have important implications for the pathogenesis and diagnosis of malignant gliomas.
