Publication number: 20260112195Abstract: According to an aspect there is provided systems and methods for anonymizing images and/or detecting countability scores. Anonymization can be carried out by extracting anonymized images from image processing techniques, anonymizing the image before image processing, or detecting regions of interest and anonymizing regions of interest. Countability scores can be detected based on the inexistence of people in the image. Countability scores can impact the confidence of the count of an image. Count confidence may be used to automatically enforce, for example, tolls.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2025Publication date: April 23, 2026Inventors: Karim ALI, Zhijie WANG, Seydi ZORLU, Arash MOHTAT, Carlos BECKER

Patent number: 11157252Abstract: A method, computer system, and computer program product for estimation of post-inlining transformation benefits are provided. The embodiment may include performing abstract interpretation on a program to find potential post-inlining transformations. The embodiment may also include encoding potential post-inlining transformations into a profitability metric by associating constraints under which a profit is determined to be realized. The embodiment may further include scaling the profitability metric using the relative execution frequency of the program point to which the transformation applies to favor applying transformations in the most frequently executed code paths. The embodiment may also include generating method summaries to store the potential post-inlining transformations in the method summaries. The embodiment may further include creating a method summary map to match each method with each method summary.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2019Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Andrew James Craik, Erick Ochoa, Jose Nelson Amaral, Karim Ali

Patent number: 10612404Abstract: A manifold assembly configured for integration with a joint cover apparatus in a ducting system to detect leaking gas comprises an elastomeric manifold block having a substantially circular inlet aperture and one or more gas passages fluidly coupled to the inlet aperture. The assembly includes a flow control valve configured to maintain a closed state in which a component of the flow control valve sealingly engages with the inlet aperture to preclude gas at the inlet aperture from flowing into the one or more gas passages until said gas reaches a pressure corresponding to a pressure threshold. The assembly also includes at least one aperture control plate disposed substantially proximate to a lower end of the manifold block and including a substantially circular opening. The aperture control plate is adapted to maintain the substantial circularity of the inlet aperture, so as to ensure a substantially fluid-tight seal.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2017Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: Senior IP GmbHInventors: Eric M.
