Abstract: Implementations of this disclosure provide an anomaly detection system and methods of performing anomaly detection on a time-series dataset. The anomaly detection may include utilization of a forecasting machine learning algorithm to obtain a prediction of points of the dataset and comparing the predicted value of a point in the dataset with the actual value to determine an error value associated with that point. Additionally, the anomaly detection may include determination of a sensitivity threshold that impacts whether points within the dataset associated with certain error values are flagged as anomalies. The forecasting machine learning algorithm may implement a seasonality component determination process that accounts for seasonality or patterns in the dataset. A search query statement may be automatically generated through importing the sensitivity threshold into a predetermined search query statement that implements that forecasting machine learning algorithm.

Abstract: A monolayer multi-axial integral geogrid suitable for stabilizing aggregate includes a plurality of interconnected oriented strands and partially oriented junctions forming a repeating pattern of outer hexagons having an array of openings therein. Oriented ribs extending inwardly from each of said outer hexagons support and surround a smaller inner hexagon having oriented strands thus forming a plurality of trapezoidal openings and a single hexagonal opening. The oriented strands and partially oriented junctions of the outer hexagons form a plurality of linear strong axis strands that extend continuously throughout the entirety of the geogrid and form additional triangular openings. The geogrid thus includes three different repeating geometric shapes. The inner hexagons preferably also can move up and down, out of the plane of the geogrid. The multi-axial integral geogrid thus provides a geometry that can better engage with, confine and stabilize a greater variety and quality of aggregates.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for a sensor enabled carrier for monitoring and detecting subgrade deformation in working platforms. Working platforms are temporary structures that provide support and stability for heavy machinery (e.g. cranes, piling rigs). They are sometimes referred to as temporary working platforms as they are designed for a specific purpose and a limited lifetime. In one aspect, a sensor enabled carrier is placed within the substructure of a working platform. The sensors are configured to a sensor pod that receives the various inputs, and further transmit the signals to a gateway device. The gateway device may be configured to one or more sensor pods located at the working platform, and serves to transmit the signals to a backend system wherein computing systems interpret the received signals. The backend system may further serve as a distribution point for corrective measures or early warning system in the event subgrade deformation is detected.

Abstract: A case can provide a mechanism for securely retaining a stylus with a host device while the stylus is not in use. Such a mechanism can maintain the alignment of the stylus with the host device for attachment, power transfer, and/or communication. The mechanism can further protect the stylus from impact or other external influences. The same mechanism can transition to a lower profile while not retaining the stylus (e.g., while the stylus is in use as an input device for the host device). Such a mechanism can selectably be placed into a configuration that substantially conceals the mechanism, such that it can temporarily appear to be a case or portion of the host device that does not necessarily have a dedicated receptacle for retaining the stylus.
