Abstract: Systems and methods for assessing the veracity of content are described. The method may include determining a truth rating for each of a plurality of factual claims in a document, generating a veracity score for the document based on the truth rating for each of the identified plurality of factual claims, generating a meta-data score for the document based on metadata of the document, and generating a content structure score for the document. The method may then include generating a reliability index for the document based on the veracity score and the meta-data score and presenting the scores and the overall reliability index to a user via a user application.

Abstract: A new device used in institutions such as, but not limited to, hospitals, nursing homes, and other patient-care facilities, and hotels and cruise ships which, when activated, provides a visual indication locally, at or near the room to which it is attached, and remotely at a central control station and/or hand held device, as to whether or not a particular room has been evacuated during an emergency evacuation situation.

Abstract: A battery-powered two-way long range automatic meter reading system and method that increases battery longevity. The system includes a meter side unit (MSU) transceiver that acquires utility data, a centralized data collector (Collector) that gathers data from the MSU, and a repeater to facilitate long-range transmission by shuttling radio signals around physical or geographic transmission barriers. The MSU includes a circuit to monitor the passage of time and apply power to a transmitter in response to a predetermined elapsed period of time. The MSU transceiver monitors a predetermined radio channel for traffic. In response to the predetermined radio channel being essentially clear of signal traffic, the MSU sends utility data to the collector. The MSU scans for a reply from the collector. In response to the collector having control data to transmit to the MSU, the collector transmits this control data in response to receiving a transmission from the MSU. The MSU is configured to enter a sleep mode.
