  • Alert generation based on proximate events identified by source data analytics
    Patent number: 10440092
    Abstract: A method includes receiving, at a computing device from a social media platform, a first post associated with a first social media account. The method also includes determining, by the computing device, an event category of an event described in the first post. The method further includes determining, by the computing device, an estimated location associated with the event. The method also includes determining, by the computing device, a distance threshold based on the event category. The method further includes determining, by the computing device, whether a location of concern is within the distance threshold of the estimated location. The method also includes generating, by the computing device, an alert based on a determination that the location of concern is within the distance threshold of the estimated location.

  • Unmanned underwater vehicle integrated radiation detection system
    Patent number: 9014885
    Abstract: An unmanned underwater vehicle incorporates a structure having an integral scintillating material for a radiation detector and detection electronics connected to the radiation detector for measurement of the scintillation. A communication system is employed for transmission of scintillation measurement to a remote facility and a navigation control system provides for autonomous operation of the unmanned underwater vehicle or remote operation through the communications system.
