  • Patent number: 12272237
    Abstract: Techniques for managing pedestrian and vehicular congestion are described herein. In an example, a congestion event at a location is identified. The congestion event may be a sporting event, entertainment event, road construction event, etc. A primary route to or from the congestion event is identified. In examples, a primary route conveys traffic to the location, and may be associated with commencement of the event. Alternatively or subsequently, a primary route conveys traffic away from the location, and may be associated with a conclusion of the event. A secondary route that could lessen traffic of the primary route is identified. In a first example, durations of vehicle traffic lights and pedestrian walk/don't walk signs are adjusted to encourage and to increase usage of the secondary route. In a second example, the secondary route is promoted by updating digital signage to send traffic on the secondary route.

  • Publication number: 20250074715
    Abstract: A device for calibrating a conveyor belt and measuring full belt length for predictive failure/maintenance of the belt. The device comprises a housing with a remote controller assembly. The remote controller is secured to the housing for storage and shipping. When the remote controller is detached, a sensor encoder assembly using wheels is deployed for use in the calibrate procedure. The housing is set adjacent a conveyor belt using a support having a polyaxial coupling wherein wheel encoder sensors are set onto the conveyor belt that is to be measured. Jogging the conveyor belt at set intervals, the encoder sensor assembly self-aligns while measuring the distance traversed and calculates the appropriate length correcting or speed that can be inputted to a conveyor belt control system. An attached reflective marking can be used in combination with an IR sensor to measure sizes to enhance the ability to predict failure/maintenance.

  • Patent number: 12239453
    Abstract: A system and method for personalized diagnosis of human body surface conditions from images acquired from a mobile camera device. In an embodiment, the system and method is used to diagnose skin, throat and ear conditions from photographs. A system and method are provided for data acquisition based on visual target overlays that minimize image variability due to camera pose at locations of interest over the body surface, including a method for selecting a key image frame from an acquired input video. The method and apparatus may involve the use of a processor circuit, for example an application server, for automatically updating a visual map of the human body with image data. A hierarchical classification system is proposed based on generic deep convolution neural network (CNN) classifiers that are trained to predict primary and secondary diagnoses from labelled training images.

  • Publication number: 20250063145
    Abstract: Example implementations include a method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for providing guidance regarding an incident at a premises to a responder. The premises is equipped with a video management system (VMS) including a network video recorder (NVR). The VMS sends a mobile device, a notification including a location of the incident at the premises. The mobile device displays a map from a current location of the mobile device to the premises. The mobile device transmits, the current location of the mobile device to the VMS. The mobile device receives, from the VMS, one or more virtual resources at the premises near the location of the mobile device. The mobile device adds a camera feed of the mobile device as a new camera within the NVR. The mobile device augments the camera feed on the mobile device with an image associated with the one or more virtual resources.
