  • Patent number: 11102221
    Abstract: A corpus of documents (and other data objects) stored for an entity can be analyzed to determine one or more topics for each document. Elements of the documents can be analyzed to also assign a risk score. The types of topics and security elements, and the associated risk scores, can be learned and adapted over time using, for example, a topic model and random forest regressor. Activity with respect to the documents is monitored, and expected behavior for a user determined using a trained recurrent neural network. Ongoing user activity is processed to determine whether the activity excessively deviates from the expected user activity. The activity can also be compared against the activity of user peers to determine whether the activity is also anomalous among the user peer group. For anomalous activity, risk scores of the accessed documents can be analyzed to determine whether to generate an alert.

  • Publication number: 20210251531
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to systems and methods for processing, transmitting, and displaying data received from continuous analyte sensor, such as a glucose sensor. In some embodiments, the continuous analyte sensor system comprises a sensor electronics module that includes power saving features. One feature includes a low power measurement circuit that can be switched between a measurement mode and a low power mode, in which charging circuitry continues to apply power to electrodes of a sensor during the low power mode. In addition, the sensor electronics module can be switched between in a low power storage mode higher power operational mode via a switch. The switch can include a reed switch or optical switch, for example. A validation routine can also be implemented to ensure an interrupt signal sent from the switch is valid.

  • Publication number: 20210250230
    Abstract: Methods for configuring a self-organizing network (SON) of a cellular telecommunication network are disclosed. A first set of data comprised of substantially real-time data for one or more key performance indicators (KPIs) is collected. A characteristic profile of the KPIs is determined. An instruction is sent to an identifier associated with the selected adjustable antenna, indicative of a command to change an electromagnetic characteristic of the selected adjustable antenna. A second set of data for the KPIs is received, and an updated profile of the KPIs is determined. A statistical probability of a causal relationship between the updated profile and the change to the electromagnetic is determined based on a predetermined threshold. Identifiers for the adjustable antennas are updated or confirmed.

  • Patent number: 11080955
    Abstract: A device, system and method for controlling a passage barrier mechanism is provided. While failing to detect, via a biometric imaging system in communication with a passage barrier mechanism, unauthorized users in a first area of interest of the biometric imaging system, a device: maintains the passage barrier mechanism in a multiple entry state in which multiple users at a time authenticate, via the biometric imaging system, and enter therethrough. Responsive to detecting, via the biometric imaging system, an unauthorized user in the first area of interest, the device: transitions the passage barrier mechanism from the multiple entry state to a single entry state in which only a single user at a time authenticates, via the biometric imaging system, and enters therethrough; and changes a biometric authentication range of the biometric imaging system from the first area of interest to a smaller second area of interest.

  • Publication number: 20210192422
    Abstract: A system for on-dispatch identification and assignment of unresolved tasks. The system includes an electronic processor configured to detect that a responder unit is dispatched to respond to a first incident and, in response, correlate extracted information corresponding to the first incident with information that is stored corresponding to a plurality of unresolved tasks and identify, based on the correlation and a responder unit profile associated with the dispatched responder unit, at least one unresolved task. The electronic processor is also configured to, in response to identifying the at least one unresolved task, either cause a notification to be provided at a dispatch computer, the notification identifying a recommendation to assign the at least one unresolved task to the dispatched responder unit or automatically assign the at least one unresolved task to the dispatched responder unit and notify a communication device associated with the dispatched responder unit regarding the assignment.

  • Patent number: 11026561
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide various examples of displaying video images of a surgical video captured at a first resolution on a screen of a surgical system having a second resolution lower than the first resolution. In one aspect, a process begins by receiving the surgical video and selecting a first portion of the video images having the same or substantially the same resolution as the second resolution. The process subsequently displays the first portion of the video images on the screen. While displaying the first portion of the video images, the process monitors a second portion of the video images not being displayed on the screen for a set of predetermined events, wherein the second portion is not visible to the user. When a predetermined event in the set of predetermined events is detected in the second portion, the process generates an alert to notify the user.

  • Patent number: 11023834
    Abstract: A collaborative design system, method, and apparatus are disclosed. An example method includes receiving request messages from a first client device and a second client device requesting a workflow project for design collaboration, creating an un-executable version of the workflow project from an executable version of the workflow project, and transmitting a copy of the un-executable version of the workflow project to each of the client devices. The method further includes receiving from the first client device, an instruction that is indicative of a modification to the copy of the un-executable version of the workflow project at the first client device and transmitting the instruction to the second client device causing the second client device to modify the copy of the un-executable version of the workflow project at the second client device. Additionally, the method includes modifying the executable version of the workflow project based on the instruction.
