  • Patent number: 12205109
    Abstract: A suspicious pattern can be detected within a transaction network of nodes. Nodes of the network are walked by determining if any adjacent node to a current node is within the suspicious pattern. If an adjacent node is within the suspicious pattern, that node is walked to. Based on the walk, a node sequence can be generated.

    Abstract: A method of video processing is described. The method includes performing a conversion between a current video block of a video and a coded representation of the current video block according to a rule, wherein the rule specifies that, due to use of an identity transform coding tool for representing the current video block into the coded representation, a syntax field indicative of a quantization parameter used for decoding the current video block is included such that a value of the quantization parameter is modified according to a rule, wherein the identity transform coding tool allows coefficient values at a transform domain of the current block to be same as values of a residual block of the current video block.

  • Publication number: 20250019939
    Abstract: A work machine, such as a tractor or skid steer, has a motion sensor attached to a segment of a continuous ground-engaging track in its undercarriage. The motion sensor generates motion data indicative of a change in motion for the track segment as the track rotates around a track assembly. An electronic controller for the work machine receives and evaluates the motion data, first to identify a location of the track segment within the undercarriage and then to compare the motion data with expected motion data for the track segment under normal track tension. Motion data outside a range of the expected motion data indicates an abnormal sag in the track, causing the electronic controller to generate an alert for adjustment of the track tension.
