  • Patent number: 11830376
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and computer program product for providing weather information are provided. An indication of a subject of interest may be received from a user. A geo-location of the subject of interest may be determined. Weather information within a threshold distance from the geo-location may be determined. Sounds corresponding to the weather information may be generated. The sounds may include sound localization with respect to the user in order to indicate a position of the weather information with respect to the geo-location.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20230198858
    Abstract: Data analysis-based line breakage prediction is provided, which includes providing a machine learning model trained to, at least in part, facilitate minimizing downtime within a network that includes an overhead line. Tensile-related data for the overhead line is obtained, and the machine learning model analyzes relevant data for the overhead line, including the tensile-related data for the overhead line, and generates a probability of breakage score for the overhead line based on the relevant data, including the tensile-related data. An action is initiated, using the machine learning model, to minimize downtime within the network based, at least in part, on the generated probability of breakage score for the overhead line.

  • Patent number: 11501660
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and computer program product for providing spatial weather map data to the visually impaired are provided. The embodiments may include receiving a weather map image that contains weather information and a subject of interest, wherein the subject of interest comprises a user current location, a business location, or an asset location. The embodiments may also include receiving a request from a user for current time, historical or forecast data depicted in the weather map and a request for a geo-location of the subject of interest. The embodiments may further include generating sounds corresponding with the requested weather map data, wherein the generated sounds appear to the user to originate in a particular direction and at a particular distance from the subject of interest, wherein the apparent location of the sounds correspond with a weather map feature including the location of approaching or surrounding weather.
