  • Patent number: 12248439
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for determining a relatedness of content items to categories. The method identifies a particular content item, a relevancy score associated with the particular content item, and a set of categories to which the particular content item is classified as related. Based on a set of glossaries associated with the set of categories, the method calculates a set of affinity scores that each represents a degree of relevancy between the particular content item and a category in the set of categories. The method modifies the relevancy score associated with the particular content item based on the calculated set of affinity scores.

  • Publication number: 20250056375
    Abstract: An approach for detecting unplanned changes in the link performance of a delay tolerant network and making automatic and immediate adjustments to the contact plans of the network to provide route revisions that will reallocate traffic load to improve network performance. Physical layer information is used to predict link performance and to adapt route computation to avoid disruption and to optimize contact performance. Prediction is based on advanced software defined radio observable phenomena such as signal to noise ratio, background noise measurements, and forward error correction bit error counts. This approach can enable a delay-tolerant network node to recompute routes and revise bundle forwarding decisions automatically in response to changes in the properties of the communication link.

  • Patent number: 12215531
    Abstract: Techniques for controlling a vehicle based on a collision avoidance algorithm are discussed herein. The vehicle receives sensor data and can determine that the sensor data represents an object in an environment through which the vehicle is travelling. A computing device associated with the vehicle determines a collision probability between the vehicle and the object at predicted locations of the vehicle and object at a first time. Updated locations of the vehicle and object can be determined, and a second collision probability can be determined. The vehicle is controlled based at least in part on the collision probabilities.

  • Publication number: 20240419797
    Abstract: The present embodiments relate to detecting malware in a document management system (DMS). File stubs representing files remotely stored in a DMS can be presented in file managers at local computing devices for review/interaction on the local computing devices. A file stub for a specific file can be selected in the file manager, and a request to download the file can be provided to the DMS. The process in requesting the download of the file can be processed to determine whether the process is user-initiated or programmatic-initiated. If the process is user-initiated (e.g., initiated by a user on the local computing device), the file can be provided to the local computing device. Programmatic-initiated processes can be a result of software or malware, and mitigating actions can be taken if the request to download the file is a programmatic-initiated process.

  • Patent number: 12147421
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a program that identifies an entity having an entity attribute. The program receives, from each method of several methods, a set of candidate identity attributes that are each for identifying a particular entity having the entity attribute specified in the document. Each method of the several methods generates the corresponding set of candidate identity attributes based on the entity attribute specified in a document. The program calculates a score for each candidate identity attribute in the sets of candidate identity attributes. The program identifies, based on the sets of scores, an identity attribute from the sets of candidate identity attributes that identifies the entity having the entity attribute specified in the document.

  • Patent number: 12071090
    Abstract: An impact is detected with a vehicle having a body comprising parts which are deformable in an impact, by a secondary impact detection system configured to detect an impact that may not trigger a primary impact detection system. The secondary impact detection system comprises a plurality of deformation sensors attached to the deformable parts and configured to detect bending of the deformable parts. One or more processors are configured to receive a plurality of respective outputs from the plurality of deformation sensors, process the respective outputs to increase sensitivity to short-term changes relative to long-term changes and generate an indication of an impact dependent on detecting a processed output meeting a predetermined criterion. Outputs associated with a group of neighboring flex sensors may be used to localize the impact, characterize the source of impact, and/or reduce a likelihood of a false positive associated with the detection.

  • Patent number: 12043225
    Abstract: Techniques are described for cleaning sensors of a vehicle. An attribute of the surrounding environment (e.g., type of precipitation, intensity of precipitation, etc.) is determined along with orientations and/or attributes of the sensors (e.g. fields-of-view, focal lengths, spectral ranges, etc). Cleaning frequencies are then be determined based, at least in part, on the attribute of the environment together with the orientations and/or attributes of the sensors. Cleaning elements are then activated at the determined frequencies to clean the sensors. In some examples, the cleaning frequencies may be determined based additionally on an attribute of travel of the vehicle (e.g. direction of travel of the vehicle, speed of the vehicle, etc.).
