Abstract: A generative artificial intelligence (AI) system has a plurality of different AI models. A prompt is provided to each of the different AI models and each of the different AI models generates an output. The outputs from the AI models are provided to an orchestrator. The orchestrator selects from among the different model outputs to generate a response. A cache system generates a cache entry, corresponding to the query, for each of the model outputs. When a subsequent query is received, the cache is searched based upon the subsequent query to determine whether any matching cache entries are found. The individual model outputs corresponding to a matching cache entry are output to the individual AI models for validation.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for reducing communications between servers and a mobile device and providing enhanced security and privacy to wireless beacon services. This can involve a broadcast device transmitting a beacon transmission using a short range wireless radio, such a Bluetooth or WiFi, and including a MAC address, a first unique identifier, and a beacon service identifier. The mobile device then selects one or more unique identifiers from received beacon transmissions, by filtering (that is, selecting) those beacon transmissions which include the beacon service identifier. The wireless device then takes further action, if the first unique identifier is present among the selected one or more unique identifiers, using stored information from the server. The stored information may be delivered to the wireless device in response to the wireless device sending the first unique identifier to a server, or the stored information may have been previously downloaded.

Abstract: In an embodiment a tray includes a base area having a top side, a bottom side, a rear end, peripheral sides and a front end, a plurality of flanges extending upward from the top side and arranged at the rear end and the peripheral sides, a pin, bolt or stud arranged at an outside of a flange arranged at the rear end or a hole arranged in the flange at the rear end configured to receive a pin, bolt or stud, a first plurality of restraining rings arranged at a first side flange at the first peripheral side and a second plurality of restraining rings arranged at a second side flange at the second peripheral side.

Abstract: A hidden camera subsystem that monitors a driver of a vehicle includes a dashboard, a camera sensor, a reflector and a first electronic control unit. The dashboard is disposed in the vehicle. The dashboard establishes a lower sight line of the driver. The camera sensor has a field-of-view and is disposed below the lower sight line such that the camera sensor is hidden from the driver by the dashboard. The camera sensor is operational to generate a sensed video signal of a scene within the field-of-view. The reflector is disposed above the lower sight line and oriented to direct the field-of-view of the camera sensor to include a head of the driver in the scene. The first electronic control unit is operational to receive the sensed video signal and monitor the driver in response to the head of the driver within the sensed video signal.

Abstract: Embodiments include a system for generating nanobubbles in a solvent, including a device for generating a reverse and forward flow in the solvent, wherein the solvent has one or more gases dissolved in it; and a Tesla valve fluidly coupled to the device, wherein the device pushes the solvent through the Tesla valve one or more times alternatingly in a forward and reverse direction to generate nanobubbles of a desired concentration and size. Aspects include a method for generating nanobubbles in a solvent, including filling a device with a desired solvent containing one or more gases dissolved in it; wherein the device is capable of generating a reverse and forward flow in the solvent, and wherein a Tesla valve is fluidly coupled to the device; and using the device to push the solvent through the Tesla valve one or more times alternatingly in forward and reverse directions to generate nanobubbles.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an exemplary process for a system that may remove particulate from industrial fluids using a Particulate Removal System (“PRS”). In some aspects, this system may treat water pulled from different Industrial Fluid Systems (“IFS”) while doing continuous monitoring and quality tests of the water. In some embodiments, the system may use sensors and other technology to allow for the system to periodically self-clean itself allowing for maximum efficiency and accuracy while also cleaning the water from the IFS. In some implementations, the water from the IFS may be separated through a Particulate Trap Mechanism (“PTM”) to ensure that particulate including dissolved material has been removed from the water and separated from possible contamination throughout the system. In some aspects the system may be used for continuous and direct measurement of water quality and automatic chemical level adjustment by systems to maintain a desired range or setpoints.
