  • Publication number: 20250362726
    Abstract: The invention provides apparatus which can be used to provide electrical power and/or data to one or more items of electrical apparatus from power cells provided as part of a battery unit located in a housing along with a power supply hub to which the electrical items can be selectively electrically connected to be operatable. The apparatus includes a frame which supports the housing and also includes means such as wheels to allow the apparatus to be moved to a location for use and allow the apparatus, and items connected thereto, to be operated independently and remotely from a mains or cable connection to a mains power supply.

  • Patent number: 11936688
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for performing simulated phishing attacks using social engineering indicators. One or more failure indicators can be configured in a phishing email template, and each failure indicator can be assigned a description about that failure indicator through use of a markup tag. The phishing email template containing the markup tags corresponding to the failure indicators can be stored and can be used to generate a simulated phishing email in which the one or more markup tags are removed.

  • Publication number: 20220004935
    Abstract: An apparatus to facilitate ensemble learning for deep feature defect detection is disclosed. The apparatus includes one or more processors to receive a deep feature vector from a feature extractor of an ensemble learning system, the deep feature vector extracted from input data; cluster the deep feature vector into a plurality of clusters based on a distance into the plurality of clusters; execute a probabilistic machine learning model corresponding to a cluster of the plurality of clusters to which the deep feature vector is clustered; and detect whether the deep feature vector comprises a defect based on an output of execution of the probabilistic machine learning model.

  • Patent number: 10807885
    Abstract: A low energy nitrogen removal wetland system is disclosed to provide high rates of nitrogen removal treatment for wastewater with low energy requirements. The wetland system uses down-flow rock-filled wetlands for nitrogen removal. The system has no aeration requirements, thus resulting in low energy consumption. The wetland system comprises a first column receiving drainage influent, a mid-level reservoir, a second column receiving drainage from the mid-level reservoir and a lower level reservoir receiving discharge from the second column. The first and the second columns are filled with media layers comprise rock media with ammonia adsorption capacity for ammonia removal. The wetland system operates in a flood and drain operation mode or a continuous flow mode.
