Abstract: A backhaul system operative to: increase network capacity, prevent unwanted re-transmissions, and facilitate multiple hopes. The system utilizes a first sequence and a second sequence of periods in conjunction with wireless packet transmission by several adjacent nodes, thereby (i) preventing a transmission of a downlink packet to a mid-point communication node from interfering with reception of any previous downlink packet in a node adjacent to the mid-point node, (ii) preventing a transmission of an uplink packet to the mid-point node from interfering with reception of any previous uplink packet in yet another node that is also adjacent to the mid-point node, and (iii) preventing transmissions of packets by the mid-point node from interfering with reception of any other packet in the mid-point node. Multiple beams are then used to counter a residual effect of multiple transmissions arriving in the mid-point node at the same time.

Abstract: This disclosure enhances a resilient high-bandwidth state-transition computer by incorporating a novel decentralized platform. The decentralized platform introduces a hierarchical, multi-level architecture utilizing node-sets and validation clusters to achieve exceptional scalability, fault tolerance, and data integrity. Entities, comprising distinct data sets, are distributed across node-sets, each maintaining a blockchain to record state changes. Node-set-level Merkle trees provide efficient data verification within node-sets, while a global Merkle tree combines node-set states into a unified representation of the global state, verified through consensus among validation clusters. This multi-dimensional cryptographic linking, enhanced by inter-node-set activations, creates a robust and tamper-proof system capable of handling millions of entities and ensuring data consistency across a distributed network.

Abstract: A redundant decentralized microservice architecture, in which each of at least selected some of the microservices is executed multiple times by multiple microservice computing nodes acting as mirror sites after reaching a distributed consensus regarding the correct way/order in which the microservices are to be executed. Clusters of redundant microservice computing nodes work in intra-cluster consensus when responding to remote procedure calls (RPCs) by activating the associated microservices multiple times, and then sending multiple RPCs to additional clusters of redundant microservice computing nodes.

Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing a decentralized consensus-based object-oriented platform with the scalability and bandwidth necessary to constitute a single unified infrastructure for web 3.0. Each object in the system represents a piece of data and/or an entity and/or a function and can be owned, controlled, and interacted with by its creator and/or by other objects. Messages are sent between the objects, validation clusters then reach a consensus among themselves per each of the messages received in conjunction with a respective one of the objects, and actions are finally made in conjunction with each of the messages by at least the validation clusters that are in consensus regarding the message, thereby assuring state-coherence among all objects. The platform has the capability/capacity to become “the computer”, which is a computational extension of “the internet”, with the potential to encompass virtually any activity, from social networks to financial systems, e-commerce and metaverse.

Abstract: A method for ubiquitously covering a selected area with a single wireless communication channel. At least two wireless converters are placed at different locations to provide an aggregated wireless coverage area, the wireless converters covering wirelessly only a respective portion of a selected area with least two portions at least partially overlapping. An OFDM base station transmits a sequence of OFDM signals simultaneously via at least two distribution lines, each OFDM signal modulated by sub-carriers. The wireless converters simultaneously receive, via respective distribution lines, the OFDM signals from the OFDM base station, and up-convert a respective OFDM signal into an RF band to re-transmit wirelessly the respective OFDM signal. At least two re-transmissions of each OFDM signal arrive at a wireless client device.

Abstract: System and methods for visually tracking movement associated with a mobile device in order to determine optimal locations for handing over the device between different base stations arranged in a sequence. Initially, a current location of the mobile device is determined via a radio access network associated with the device. Then, a moving object is visually detected in an immediate proximity to the location determined, using a visual sensor array associated with the radio access network. The moving object detected is assumed to be associated with the mobile device due to said proximity, and is hence visually tracked along its path of progression, until arriving at a location that was previously determined to be optimal for performing a handover between two adjacent base stations. A handover is then executed, while continuing with said visual tracking until another handover is required.

Abstract: System and method for multi-domain AI predictions leveraging imagery data captured by a large network of on-road vehicles. The system analyzes interactions between diverse object categories, including individuals, organizations, structures, vehicles, and wearable devices, over an extended period. By accumulating vast amounts of data and employing advanced machine learning, a predictive model is trained to understand complex relationships and draw inferences across multiple domains, such as social dynamics, transportation, infrastructure, and consumer behavior. The system and method aim to predict not only physical events but also complex human behaviors, including emotions, intentions, and social connections.

Abstract: System and methods for detecting, analyzing, and understanding various events involving dynamic objects interacting with static/quasi-static objects. A plurality of edge devices first conduct a visual survey of a certain indoor and/or outdoor area over a certain period of time to detect quasi-static object that do not substantially move during that certain period of time. The quasi-static objects are then classified for functional purpose and geometrically dimensioned/geo-spatially positioned. The edge devices then conduct a real-time visual survey to detect, classify, and dimension/position different types of dynamic objects, such as pedestrians and vehicles. The information obtained on the dynamic objects is then combined using geo-spatial parameters/common coordinate system with the information obtained on the quasi-static object to identify/classify events such as pedestrians using a crosswalk to cross a street, vehicles parking in designated parking areas, and shoppers entering stores.

Abstract: A plurality of on-road vehicles moving along streets of a city, while utilizing onboard cameras for autonomous driving functions, are bound to capture, over time, random images of various city objects such as structures and street signs.

Per each of at least some of the city objects appearing more than once in the corpus of imagery data, appearances are detected and linked, and then analyzed to uncover behaviors associated with that city object, thereby eventually, over time, revealing various city dynamics associated with many city objects.

Abstract: A plurality of on-road vehicles moving along streets of a city, while utilizing onboard cameras for autonomous driving functions, are bound to capture, over time, random images of various city objects such as pedestrians, vehicles, building and other structures.

Per each of at least some of the city objects appearing more than once in the corpus of imagery data, appearances are detected and linked, and then analyzed and processed to result in representations and other data sets and types having a better descriptive accuracy in conjunction with the city object. The data sets having a better descriptive accuracy may then be used to reach certain conclusions or facilitate actions.

When the item is finally picked-up from the locker, the on-road vehicle may return, grab the package container and move it to another location or back to a warehouse.
