  • Patent number: 12629055
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include systems and methods for tracking physical work activity by, for example, embedding sensors in items of work clothing. The physical activity data that is tracked by the sensors may be correlated with and compared to known physical activity data to determine the type of work function that corresponds to the physical activity data. Based on this, actual performance of the work function may be compared to the idealized version of the work function to, for example, grade the performance of the work function, identify specific deficiencies in the performance of the work function, recommend modifications to performance of the work function, and so forth.

  • Patent number: 12423763
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting use of a property are provided. A first set of property identifying data for a first property is received from a first source. The first source indicates a use of the first property but does not publicly provide an address of the first property prior to initiation of a request for use of the first property. A second set of property identifying data for a second property from a second source is also received. The second source provides a property address of the second property. The first set of data are compared to the second set of data, to determine an amount of overlap. When the amount of overlap meets a pre-defined threshold amount, the first property and the second property are identified as a common property and a notice is provided of the property address and the use of the common property.

  • Patent number: 12374035
    Abstract: A system and method for generating simulations of a vehicular accidents and detecting inconsistencies between different sources of data for the accidents are disclosed. The system obtains reports and other data describing the accident and processes the information for use by a keyword model. The keyword model is configured to detect terms in the data that are more likely to provide insight into the accident. The keywords are provided to a generative engine that is configured to generate a simulation of the accident based on visual elements corresponding to the keywords. In some cases, the simulation may include an animated video and/or a 3D model of the accident. Individual simulations may be generated for each source of data obtained. The simulations can then be compared to detect potential inconsistencies.

  • Patent number: 11997219
    Abstract: To protect corporate information technology (IT) networks, corporations or organizations can design their networks with secure technology. For example, before an employee can remotely access his or her company's network via a user device, a server associated with the company's network can setup an exemplary secure digital certificate for the user device. The secure digital certificate includes a public Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with a router used by the user device to access the Internet. When employee attempts to remotely access his or her company's network, the user device or a router associated with the user device can send the secure digital certificate along with a current public IP address of the router used by the user device to access the Internet. In some embodiments, if the public IP address included in the digital certificate matches the current public IP address, the user device can access the company's network.
