  • Patent number: 12099374
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for responding to an attacker including a shooter who opens fire at a site where people are gathered, including identifying, neutralizing, and restraining the attacker. A system may include a central control unit configured to perform a series of steps including: receiving an image including the origin of the gunfire and responsively acquiring identifying features of a shooter associated with the gunfire; subsequently tracking a current location of the shooter according to the identifying features; releasing an autonomous, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to engage the shooter; guiding the flight of the UAV towards the current location of the shooter; and neutralizing the shooter by operating a shooter incapacitating mechanism of the UAV.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11021249
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for responding to an attacker including a shooter who opens fire at a site where people are gathered, including identifying, neutralizing, and restraining the attacker. A system may include a central control unit configured to receive signals indicative of gun fire, to responsively determine an origin of the gun fire, to identify features of a shooter associated with the gun fire and to release a UAV from a shielded UAV housing to engage the shooter. The UAV may be configured to fly towards the shooter, according to the origin of the gun fire and the identifying features of the shooter, and to neutralize the shooter by operating a UAV incapacitating mechanism.

  • Patent number: 9691074
    Abstract: Systems and methods of evaluating performance of an information resource in a computer networked environment are provided. A data processing system can obtain a request for a performance metric of an information resource. A number of visits to the information resource by an audience segment, and an aggregate number of visits to the information resource can be determined and used to identify a first metric. A global audience segment number and a global aggregate audience number can also be determined and used to identify a second metric. A performance metric associated with the information resource can get determined based on the first metric and the second metric.

  • Patent number: 8812947
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system, method and computer readable medium to generate graphical visualizations corresponding to a data set populated in a web-based document, such as a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet is accessible in an interne or cloud-based system, and enables users to automatically create graphical visualizations or representations based on recommendations by a spreadsheet application. The graphical visualizations may be automatically ranked such that the system provides the recommendations to the user for display. Automatic ranking is accomplished, for example, by determining data types from identifying column type, differentiating column types, and extracting data sets having attributes corresponding to various graphical visualizations.
