Abstract: Arrangements for providing context aware response functions are provided. In some examples, sensor data may be received from a plurality of sensors in a sensor data farm associated with an enterprise organization. The sensor data may be received from various types of sensors and/or from sensors from various vendors or manufacturers. a machine learning model may be executed to analyze the sensor data. Based on an output of the machine learning model, a determination may be made as to whether one or more enterprise-specific thresholds have been met or exceeded. If not, additional, subsequently received data may be analyzed. If so, one or more notifications or notification actions may be identified. In some examples, the notification or notification actions may be executed and response data may be received. The response data may be used to update and/or validate the machine learning model.

Abstract: Arrangements for sensor data normalization and analysis are provided. In some arrangements, first sensor data may be received from a first sensor of a first sensor type. The first sensor may be associated with a first vendor and may output data in a first format unique to the first vendor. Second sensor data may be received from a second sensor. The second sensor may be a second sensor type. The second sensor may be associated with a second vendor and may output data in a second format unique to the second vendor. The first and second sensor data may be normalized from the first format and second format to a uniform format unique to an enterprise organization. The formatted data may be compared to one or more enterprise-specific thresholds. If one or more thresholds have been met or exceeded, a notification may be generated and transmitted to a computing device.

Abstract: A sequentially ordered gaming system, kit, or method that allows users to solve a mystery is disclosed, comprising a first objective and a physical package with evidence that enables a user to complete the first objective. A first envelope or other enclosure has a second objective and additional evidence necessary for completion of the second objective, and a second enclosure has a third objective and additional evidence necessary for completion of the third objective. A remote confirmation source is accessed by the user to input specific evidence-related information to determine completion of the objectives and to receive hints. Completion of the first, second, and third objectives in order solves the mystery. The enclosures are typically physical enclosures that are sealed to keep their evidence concealed until use. A final enclosure tells the story of the solved mystery. Evidence includes a combination of a wide variety of materials.

Abstract: A system for measuring a position of a rigid object is provided. The system includes one or more light emitters disposed on one or more surfaces of the rigid object and an optical measurement instrument. Each light emitter includes a light-emitting device having a light-emitting surface, a transparent plate disposed on the light-emitting surface, and an opaque film disposed between the light-emitting surface and the transparent plate. The opaque film includes an aperture that is aligned with the light-emitting surface. The optical measurement instrument is configured to receive light from one or more light emitters and to use the received light to determine the position of the rigid object using the received light.

Abstract: The disclosure provides for systems and methods for determining a pitch rating for a pitch in baseball. The pitch rating can be configured to be indicative of a quality of breaking and non-breaking pitches. The disclosure provides for a detection system that detects the position of the ball. The pitch rating can then be calculated by extracting flight parameters from the detection data and multiplying appropriate flight path parameters by pitch rating coefficients. The pitch rating coefficients can be tailored such that the pitch rating calculation provides a value that is correlated to a subjective opinion on pitch quality provided by an expert. The pitch rating can then be displayed in real time to provide feedback or information about a quality of the pitch.

Abstract: A tool for hot stamping metal sheets, formed least partially of a base block and a functional layer, is proposed. The functional layer comprises cooling channels and multiple functional layers, which building upon each other create the connection to the base block. The cooling channels are designed as a cooling channel array and are produced in a laser sintering method.

Abstract: A ballistic resistant article includes at least one consolidated composite, wherein the at least one consolidated composite includes a layer A and a layer B bonded to one another. Each, layer A and B exhibits a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface, and a cross-section extending from the first surface to the second surface, and includes a network of fibers having a strength of at least 800 mN/tex (1100 MPa), and the fibers in each layer A and B are impregnated with a matrix material. The matrix material is distributed along the cross-section of each layer in a concentration gradient in which the concentration starts with a maximum value on the first surface, decreases along the cross-section and reaches a minimum value on the second surface. The matrix material includes a mixture of a polychloroprene, and a random copolymer of vinyl chloride and an acrylic ester.

Abstract: An event notification system has an information system interface that operates to receive critical patient information in messages from dissimilar information systems. The information system interface has functionality that parses information in each message (including the critical information), detects from which information system the message are sent, and operates to detect critical information in each message. Critical information detected in a message received from a core information system is stored and compared to critical information (that should be the same as at least some of the stored critical information) detected in a message received from a non-core information system to determine whether the information is the same.

Abstract: A notification system operating in a healthcare setting maintains information in alarm messages received from each of a plurality of call points and in messages received from clinicians, and operates on this information to determine whether a clinician is currently suffering from alarm fatigue or is at risk of suffering from alarm fatigue at some future time.
