  • Patent number: 12614192
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for monitoring and tracking technical engagements between digital resources. An example method includes deploying a machine learning monitoring application to a computing environment comprising one or more of a computing device or a network channel and detecting an engagement metric associated with a target technology of the computing environment and a user account of the computing environment. The example method further includes generating name-value pair data representative of the engagement metric, the user account, and a timestamp token and generating a technical engagement score representative of a probability of a successful utilization of the target technology by the user account. The example method further includes initializing an actionable instruction set based on a comparison of the technical engagement score to a technical engagement threshold.

  • Publication number: 20210249822
    Abstract: A connector system includes a receptacle configured for mounting on a structure having a curved sidewall with an opening formed therein, such as an aerial vehicle having a curved skin with an access opening. The receptacle is configured so that the contacts of the receptacle are accessible from the exterior of the structure, through the opening; and the receptacle does not protrude above the outer surface of the sidewall. The connector system can further include a plug configured to mate with the receptacle to form an electrical connection. The plug can include a retractable shroud that protects the contacts of the plug when the plug is not mated with the receptacle.

  • Patent number: 10916901
    Abstract: Receptacles are provided for mating with plugs to establish electrical connections. The receptacles include a shell having a body, and a flange attached to the body. The flange has a projection extending therefrom. The receptacle also has an electrically-insulating insert positioned at least in part within the body; and one or more electrical contacts positioned at least in part within the insert. The receptacle is configured for mounting on a panel. The projection contacts a mounting surface of the panel, to establish a localized contact area that provides bonding between the receptacle and panel.
