  • Publication number: 20240144381
    Abstract: Device data is obtained from one or more devices for an individual. The one or more devices include one or more medical monitoring devices. Data is also obtained from one or more exogenous sources, and the data includes current data relating to one or more medical resources. The device data obtained from the one or more devices and the data from the one or more exogenous sources are analyzed using an artificial intelligence agent. Based on the analyzing, one or more recommendations are provided. The one or more recommendations include an indication of a device to use that is different from the one or more devices to obtain different device data for the individual.

  • Patent number: 11940795
    Abstract: In some examples, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) may include one or more processors configured to capture, with one or more image sensors, and while the UAV is in flight, a plurality of images of a target. The one or more processors may compare a first image of the plurality of images with a second image of the plurality of images to determine a difference between a current frame of reference position for the UAV and an estimate of an actual frame of reference position for the UAV. In addition, the one or more processors may determine, based at least on the difference, and while the UAV is in flight, an update to a three-dimensional model of the target.

  • Publication number: 20240068318
    Abstract: A hanger assembly has at least one elongated channel disposed on the outer surface of the hanger assembly. An alignment/anti-rotation tab member is moveably disposed within each elongated channel and can selectively alternate between a first retracted configuration and a second extended configuration. In the second extended configuration, each alignment/anti-rotation tab member can be received within a mating channel along the inner surface of the central through bore of the wellhead. Each extended alignment/anti-rotation tab member can engage against a mating recess or channel in order to align and orient the hanger assembly within the central through bore of the wellhead (permitting orientation and alignment of ports in the hanger assembly and the surrounding wellhead), while also preventing rotation of the hanger assembly relative to the wellhead.

  • Patent number: 11428053
    Abstract: In various implementations, a hydraulic fracturing piping system may include one or more rotatable elbows to connect other components of the hydraulic fracturing piping system. Using rotatable elbows may facilitate connections in the hydraulic fracturing piping system. For example, when using a rotatable elbow, in the assembly of the system, the rotatable elbow may be capable of rotating to different positions to facilitate alignment of the hydraulic fracturing manifold and hydraulic fracturing stack (e.g., christmas tree), when the hydraulic fracturing manifold and the hydraulic fracturing stack are not in alignment. In some implementations, the elbow may include an internal radial transition (e.g., of approximately 90 degrees) to control the media being injected into the wellbore. The internal radial transition of the elbow may create a more uniform media flow and/or less turbulence, which may significantly reduce erosion of the inner surfaces the bore of the elbow.

  • Publication number: 20220239741
    Abstract: Dynamic storage management in cloud storage synchronization is provided. A limit may be specified for amount of data associated with hydrated content in local storage. Upon detecting the limit being exceeded, the system may automatically begin to dehydrate files in local storage and replace them with placeholder files. Placeholders may also be specified on by default and content may initially synchronize as placeholders. As the user hydrates content, some files that were previously hydrated may be reverted to the placeholder state as the limit for amount of data in local storage is approached or exceeded. In some examples, specific limits may not be defined, but content may be heuristically dehydrated based on usage and size. In yet another example, the synchronization and local content dehydration may be performed on a per-folder basis.

  • Publication number: 20220121754
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and storage media for determining the probability of cyber risk-related loss within one or more computing systems composed of computing elements are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: assess vulnerability by determining an exposure window for a computing element based on the number of discrete times within a given time frame where the computing element is in a vulnerable state; determine a frequency of contact of the computing element with threat actors; normalize the exposure window and the frequency of contact; calculate a threat event frequency by dividing the normalized exposure window by the normalized frequency of contact; and repeat the steps for multiple elements. When combined with liability data that describes the loss magnitude implications of these events ,organizations can prioritize the elements based on loss exposure and take action to prevent loss exposure.

  • Patent number: 11061775
    Abstract: A computing system includes at least one processor and memory storing instructions executable by the at least one processor, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the computing system to instruct a synchronization engine to synchronize first and second versions of a file, the first version being stored on a first storage system and the second version being stored on a second storage system, receive a backoff indicator corresponding to the file, based on the backoff indicator, instruct the synchronization engine to backoff synchronizing changes to the file, and allow the changes to the file to be synchronized by a co-authoring application, maintain a first set of collaborative metadata indicative of content of the first version of the file, and maintain a second set of collaborative metadata indicative of content of the second version of the file.

  • Patent number: 10936548
    Abstract: Systems, components, devices, and methods for synchronizing files between a local file system and a server are provided. In an example, synchronization of individual files is paused by placing the individual files in a hold state. A non-limiting example method accesses a file stored on the local file system for synchronization with an associated file on the server and determines whether differences between the file and the associated file prevent synchronization. When determined that differences between the file and the associated file prevent synchronization, the method places the file in a hold state. The hold state pauses synchronization of the content in the file with the content of the associated file. In some examples, the method continues to synchronize topological changes to files that have been placed in the hold state and/or resumes synchronization after it is determined that the file is no longer different than the associated file.

  • Patent number: 10929350
    Abstract: A system to enable a user to generate copies of files at a client device and to cause a file hosting platform to generate backups of these copies in a cloud database without transferring file content data for these files between the client device and the cloud database. When a user copies a file from a first folder on a client device to a second folder on the client device, the system may determine that the file content data for this file is already present in the cloud database. Then, rather than uploading the file content data to the cloud database from the client device, the system may cause a file hosting platform to access the file content data directly from the cloud database to perform a file copy operation.

  • Publication number: 20200387846
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and storage media for determining the impact of failures of information systems within an architecture of information systems are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: determine a base set of nodes; assign dependency values between pairs of the nodes in the base set; determine an intermediate set of nodes representing information systems in the architecture; assign dependency values between pairs of the nodes in the intermediate set and the nodes in the base set; monitor operating conditions of the information systems; assign an operating condition value to each node base on the operating conditions; and determine an operational status of at least one of the information systems based on operating condition values of nodes corresponding to other information systems and corresponding dependency values. The architecture can accomplish a mission and the a best case outcome of the mission and a worst case outcome of the mission can be determined.
