  • Publication number: 20240097967
    Abstract: A system and method for mitigating anomalies in a network device. One or a combination of mitigation actions may be pre-programmed into a plurality of customer premises equipment (CPE) devices. The mitigation actions may be available as temporary or permanent work arounds as problems are detected that match known or discovered patterns of log events. Unsupervised machine learning techniques may be used to identify and correlate new patterns of log events with device anomalies or malfunctions. When a new pattern of log events is discovered and correlated to an anomaly or malfunction in a group of CPE devices, the discovered pattern may be written to the group of CPE devices with instructions to use particular ones of the mitigation actions. The CPE devices can then, in examples, monitor their own logs to detect the patterns and implement one or more of the mitigation actions.

  • Publication number: 20240071232
    Abstract: The disclosed technology provides solutions for improving autonomous vehicle dispatch and in particular, provides solutions for matching autonomous vehicles (AVs) with tasks based on service priorities. Processes of the disclosed technology can include steps for receiving a first task, wherein the first task is associated with a first service type, receiving a second task, wherein the second task is associated with a second service type, dispatching a first autonomous vehicle (AV) to service the first task, and dispatching the second AV to service the second task. The process can further include updating the dispatch of the first AV to service the second task, and updating the dispatch of the second AV to service the first task. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

  • Patent number: 11915133
    Abstract: Systems and methods seamlessly blend edited and unedited regions of an image. A computing system crops an input image around a region to be edited. The system applies an affine transformation to rotate the cropped input image. The system provides the rotated cropped input image as input to a machine learning model to generate a latent space representation of the rotated cropped input image. The system edits the latent space representation and provides the edited latent space representation to a generator neural network to generate a generated edited image. The system applies an inverse affine transformation to rotate the generated edited image and aligns an identified segment of the rotated generated edited image with an identified corresponding segment of the input image to produce an aligned rotated generated edited image. The system blends the aligned rotated generated edited image with the input image to generate an edited output image.

  • Patent number: 11865377
    Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods for completing a fit test on a respiratory mask A method may comprise installing a speaker within an interior cavity of the face mask, wherein the speaker communicates with an electronics unit; installing a microphone within the interior cavity of the face mask, wherein the microphone communicates with the electronics unit; generating, by the speaker, a sound during the fit test; detecting, by the microphone, sound generated by the speaker during the fit test; comparing, by the electronics unit, a detected signal from the microphone to a baseline expected sound; when the detected signal is within a certain range of the baseline expected sound, indicating to the user that the fit test is completed and passed; and when the detected signal is not within a certain range of the baseline expected sound, indicating to the user that the fit test is completed and failed.

  • Patent number: 11848717
    Abstract: A method for profiling the performance of a wireless local area network may include receiving, from a wireless access point (WAP), measurements associated with client devices in a wireless local area network (WLAN), and identifying a dominance of the client devices in the WLAN. The method may further include classifying the received measurements into categories representing channel qualities with the client devices in the WLAN, and transforming the categories of the client devices into values. The method may further include determining a profile of the WLAN based on the values and the dominance of the client devices.
