Patent number: 11915162Abstract: A method, computer program product and computer system to generate safety alerts is provided. A processor retrieves a plurality of measurements associated with a location. A processor determines a set of features based on the plurality of measurements. A processor identifies a set of membership functions for the set of features. A processor determines a safety index for the body of water based on the set of membership functions and one or more input value ranges for the set of features. In response to the safety index being above a threshold value, a processor sends an alert to one or more users regarding the location.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2018Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Campbell D.

Patent number: 11614560Abstract: A method and system for outputting a state of a physical system using a calibrated model of the physical system, where the calibrated model is used to generate a model prediction. The system includes a plurality of sensors connected to a routing node are used to monitor measured data of the physical system. A first sensor of the plurality of sensors includes a logic module configured to determine an uncertainty quantification, and to combine the uncertainty quantification with the model prediction to output the state of the physical system.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2019Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ernesto Arandia, Fearghal O'Donncha, Eli Michael Dow, Frank Liu, Campbell D Watson

Patent number: 11131789Abstract: Embodiments for estimating ice formation and depth by a processor. Ice formation and ice depth of a selected region of water may be cognitively forecasted using a prediction model such that the prediction model identifies similar characteristics between the selected region of water and one or more alternative regions of water by analyzing content of one or more data sources associated with an ontology of concepts representing a domain knowledge related to the selected region of water and the one or more alternative regions.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2017Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Ernesto Arandia, Fearghal O'Donncha, Emanuele Ragnoli, Seshu Tirupathi

Publication number: 20190021653Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to computer-implemented methods, computer systems, and computer program products for monitoring the ergonomics of a user. A non-limiting example method includes capturing a reference image of the user using an image capture device. The method further includes determining a first height of an object of interest of the user using the reference image of the user. The method further includes capturing a subsequent image of the user using the image capture device. The method further includes determining a second height of the object of interest of the user using the subsequent image of the user. Based at least in part on determining that the second height is not within a first tolerance of the first height, causing the issuance of a warning that the user is not within an optimal distance from the image capture device.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2017Publication date: January 24, 2019Inventors: ERNESTO ARANDIA, ROHINI GOSAIN, FEARGHAL O'DONNCHA, EMANUELE RAGNOLI, SESHU TIRUPATHI
