Abstract: A computer program product and a computer system for monitoring an operation status of a disconnected device by a mobile device and an audio analysis system in an infrastructure. The mobile device has connectivity to the infrastructure while the disconnected device has no connectivity to the infrastructure. The audio analysis system receives from the mobile device audio with information of a location of the mobile device. The audio analysis system determines whether the audio is recorded from the disconnected device based on the information of the location of the mobile device, compares the audio with pre-recorded sounds of the disconnected device, determines the operation status of the disconnected device, and sends to the mobile device a notification of the operation status of the disconnected device.

Abstract: A method, system, and/or computer program product controls operations of a vehicle based on a condition of cargo being transported. One or more processors receive output from vehicle sensors on a first cargo vehicle, where the output from the vehicle sensors describes a movement of the first cargo vehicle. The processor(s) determine that the movement of the first cargo vehicle has caused cargo in the first cargo vehicle to shift beyond a predetermined amount, and transmit instructions to a second cargo vehicle to adjust initial cargo loading operations on the second cargo vehicle based on determining that the movement of the first cargo vehicle has caused the cargo to shift beyond the predetermined amount in the first cargo vehicle.

Abstract: A method for monitoring an operation status of a disconnected device by a mobile device and an audio analysis system in an infrastructure. The mobile device has connectivity to the infrastructure while the disconnected device has no connectivity to the infrastructure. The mobile device invokes passive listening of the mobile device to a sound generated by the disconnected device, determines whether the sound can be detected by the mobile device, and steams audio with information of a location of the mobile device to the audio analysis system. The audio analysis system determines whether the audio is recorded from the disconnected device, compares the audio with pre-recorded sounds of the disconnected device, determines the operation status of the disconnected device, and sends a notification of the operation status of the disconnected device, in response to determining that the operation status is an event predetermined by a user of the mobile device.

Abstract: A method, system, and/or computer program product controls positioning of cargo being loaded onto a cargo vehicle based on sensor readings from another cargo vehicle. One or more processors receive output from a cargo sensor that describes shifting experienced by a first cargo while being transported by a first cargo vehicle and based on the output, determine that the first cargo has shifted beyond a predetermined amount. The processor(s) receive output from vehicle sensors that describe movement of the first cargo vehicle and then determine that the movement has caused the first cargo to shift beyond the predetermined amount. The processor(s) transmit instructions to a robotic cargo loader of second cargo being loaded onto a second cargo vehicle to adjust positioning of the second cargo, where the positioning of the second cargo in the second cargo vehicle is different from positioning of the first cargo on the first cargo vehicle.

Abstract: A method and system of assessing damage to an object. A first digital image of an object is taken at a first point in time with a first camera. A second digital image of the object is taken at a second point in time with a second camera, where the second point in time is after the first point in time. The first digital image and the second digital image may are compared to determine if there is damage to the object. In response to a determination that there is damage to the object, a potential source of the damage to the object is determined by analyzing historical trends of damage to historically damaged objects.

Abstract: An automated, computerized, method of pro-active building protection from weather condition damage involves: receiving a weather alert indicating a particular weather condition will be occurring within an area encompassing a perimeter about a building established by multiple sensors positioned around the building; in response to the weather alert, automatically executing a specific protocol to cause at least some actuators connected to protective devices of the building to change at least one protective device from a non-protective to a protective position; receiving a signal that is one of: a) a cancellation signal that the weather alert is no longer in effect, or b) an indication from at least some of the sensors that the particular weather condition is no longer endangers the building; and in response to receipt of the signal, automatically signaling the at least some actuators to return the at least one protective device to the non-protective position.
