  • Publication number: 20240248941
    Abstract: Various aspects describe an information platform for consistently integrating and/or quantifying the underlying principles of ESG into financial analyses, analytical tools, metrics, and/or available information on reviewed companies, business entities, etc., and further provide integration of analysis with community-based insight, contextual information and tools for readily understanding both. Various embodiments implement machine learning tools for curating data sources and incorporating the data sources into the knowledge platform. The incorporation of AI moderated information sources enables succinct views of often massive information pools, and further provides for transitions between types of information (e.g., qualitative, quantitative, and interactive data source (e.g., engagements, collaborative information, etc.)).

  • Publication number: 20230339485
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to improved diagnostic devices, systems and methods for improving the accuracy and speed of diagnosing datalink/CAN errors on public and private networks within the electronic control systems of machines. The present disclosure includes incorporating one or more diagnostic modules to one or more datalinks within an existing electronic control system. These diagnostic modules can monitor datalink voltages and identify and transmit error messages and datalink voltage anomalies without the need for manual diagnosis by a repair technician. Alternatively, another diagnostic system and method includes installing microchips having datalink voltage measurements to existing modules, such as a telematics module, thereby enabling that the module to identify and report datalink voltage anomalies.

  • Patent number: 11228485
    Abstract: The present technology provides a system and method for automating on-boarding and management of IoT devices on data network. The disclosed technology further provides an interactive representation of various performance attribute with automatically generated actionable alert based on operator defined rules and performance-specific threshold values. Furthermore, disclosed technology provides for single-click activation of suggested actions at scale directed at once to all device units within one or more device groups reported in critical state. In this way the proposed technology enables rapid restoration of a network state. Offending device(s) may then be easily identified, from device units within the device category isolated in a resolution space, and managed according to one or more device-specific actionable alerts automatically generated on the offending device.

  • Patent number: 11102236
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide for identification and remediation of IoT devices exhibiting anomalous behaviors. An IoT management system can identify IoT devices requiring remediation. The IoT management system may present a first interface including representations of the devices requiring remediation, where each representation can include identifying information for an IoT device, policies applied to the IoT device, and bandwidth/throughput information of the IoT device. The IoT management system can present a second remediation interface representing a detailed representation of a first IoT device. The detailed representation can include user interface elements representing actions to be performed relating to the first IoT device. The IoT management system can perform a first action corresponding to a selection of one of the user interface elements.

  • Patent number: 6741171
    Abstract: A system for transmitting and verifying alarm signals over a TCP/IP network includes an alarm panel hosting an alarm client and verification server and connected to at least one alarm sensor, a TCP/IP network, an alarm monitor server and a verification station connected to each other and to the TCP/IP network. If the alarm client detects an alarm situation, it transmits an alarm signal to the alarm monitor server. The alarm signal contains information on how to contact the verification server. If it is necessary to verify the alarm signal, the alarm monitor station sends the alarm verification station a verification request containing the contact information for the verification server. The alarm verification station contacts the verification server and obtains the verification information available from the alarm verification server.
