  • Publication number: 20260154619
    Abstract: A method for training a machine learning model for locating an asset in an environment when the machine learning model is executed on a computer system, wherein the environment includes a plurality of zones. The method includes receiving data corresponding to first and second sets of training signals, wherein the first and second sets of training signals are received at a plurality of receivers, within first and second data collection periods, respectively, from a plurality of training tags located in first and second zones, respectively, of the plurality of zones. The plurality of training tags are moved from a first position in the first zone to a second position in the first zone within the first data collection period. The plurality of training tags are moved from a first position in the second zone to a second position in the second zone within the second data collection period.

  • Publication number: 20260127503
    Abstract: A method for training a machine learning model for locating an asset in an environment when the machine learning model is executed on a computer system. The method includes receiving data corresponding to a plurality of training signals. The plurality of training signals are received at a plurality of receivers from a plurality of training tags located in the environment. The environment has a plurality of zones, and each of the training tags is associated with a zone in which it is located. The method further includes generating training data for first and second zones of the plurality of zones, wherein the training data for the first and second zones includes values of the training signals received from training tags located in the first and second zones, respectively, each value associated with the receiver at which a respective training signal was received.

  • Publication number: 20260093005
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to methods for generating a radiofrequency map of an indoor location using LIDAR and Bluetooth sensor fusion. The methods can include fusion of received signal strength indicator (RSSI) data and location data received from devices in an indoor environment. A map of predicted RSSI data corresponding to locations in the indoor environment can be generated based on the fusion of the received data using an artificial intelligence model. The map of predicted RSSI data can then be used to determine the location of devices within the indoor environment.

  • Publication number: 20250306162
    Abstract: A method for locating an asset in an environment, the method comprising receiving, at a first receiver, signal from a tag associated with the asset, wherein the tag is positioned on or adjacent to the asset; receiving, at the first receiver, a signal from the tag associated with the asset at a second time, wherein the second time is different to the first time, and wherein the first receiver has moved location in the environment between the first time and the second time; receiving, at a second receiver, a signal from the tag associated with the asset; and determining the location of the asset in the environment based on the signal received at the first receiver at the first time, the signal received at the first receiver at the second time, the signal received at the second receiver, a track of the location of the first receiver in the environment at the first time and the second time, and a location of the second receiver in the environment at the time when the second receiver received the signal.

  • Patent number: 8646097
    Abstract: The aim of the present invention is to limit the impact of security breaches, which are the emulators of the security module. This aim is reached by a processing unit of audio/video digital conditional access data, encrypted by control words, responsible for processing security messages containing at least one cryptogram relative to a control word and one instruction relative to the control word, characterized in that it includes means to receive at least two micro programs by security messages, executable by the security module, said security module comprising means to store at least two micro programs and means to receive an instruction contained in the security message, for selecting the micro program indicated by the instruction, for executing the said micro program with at least the cryptogram as a parameter of execution, this execution allowing the calculation of the control word to be sent back to the audio/video processing unit.

  • Patent number: 8484484
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention discloses a process for sending an executable code to a security module locally connected to a receiving device. This security module comprises a microcontroller and a memory, the memory including at least one executable area provided to contain instructions suitable to be executed by the microcontroller, and at least one non-executable area, wherein the microcontroller cannot execute the instructions. The process includes dividing the executable code into blocks; adding at least one block management code to the blocks in order to create an extended block; introducing the content of an extended block into a message to be processed in the receiving device, in such a way that the whole executable code is contained in a plurality of messages; and sending a message to the receiving device, this message containing one of the extended blocks different from the first extended block.
