  • Patent number: 10043069
    Abstract: A system for recognizing objects and/or text in image data may use context data to perform object/text recognition. The system may also use context data when determining potential functions to execute in response to recognizing the object/text. Context data may be gathered based on device sensor data, user profile data such as the behavior of a user or the behavior of those in a user's social network, or other factors. Recognition processing and/or function selection may be configured to account for context data when operating to improve output results.

  • Publication number: 20180197249
    Abstract: A mobile insurance architecture includes a wireless communication interface that connects mobile client devices to wireless networks. An insurance server cluster that includes a group of independent network servers operates and appears to mobile client devices as if the group of independent network servers were a single computer server. An adaptive transmission controller communicates with the insurance server cluster and processes content in multiple mobile formats that may be optimized to the screen sizes of the mobile client devices. The insurance server cluster responds to native application clients resident to the mobile client devices. The native application clients contain code stored on a non-transitory media that render insurance quoting services, insurance claims services, on-line insurance policy services, usage based insurance services, mobile monitoring services, or insurance agency management services.

  • Publication number: 20180153644
    Abstract: The present invention relates to apparatuses and methods of endodontic treatment. The endodontic treatment system includes an endodontic device for use in endodontic procedures. The endodontic device is coupled to a fluid delivery system and includes an end effector, a first cannula (70), and a second cannula (72). The first cannula (70) and the second cannula (72) are movable relative to one another to an extended position in which the second cannula (72) extends from the first cannula (70). A method for endodontic treatment of a root canal of a tooth includes moving a first cannula (70) and the second cannula (72) relative to one another from a first position to a second position in which the second cannula (72) extends from the first cannula (70) into the root canal and evacuating the irrigant from the root canal with the second cannula (72).

  • Publication number: 20180141848
    Abstract: A method of continuous processing of flexible glass ribbon having a thickness of no more than 0.35 mm using a glass processing apparatus. The method includes providing the glass processing apparatus having at least three processing zones, including a first processing zone, a second processing zone and a third processing zone. The flexible glass ribbon is continuously fed from the first processing zone, through the second processing zone to the third processing zone. The feed rate of the flexible glass ribbon is controlled through each of the first processing zone, the second processing zone and the third processing zone using a global control device. Lateral position of the flexible glass ribbon is controlled through the second processing zone using a multi-axis steering apparatus comprising a first roller set and a second roller set, located downstream of the first roller set.

  • Publication number: 20180137107
    Abstract: Techniques for mapping policy documents to regulatory documents to check for compliance between the policies and documents are provided. In one example, a computer-implemented method determining, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, an information input, a control framework, and a document from a first group consisting of a regulatory document and a policy document, wherein the information input is a corpora from a second group consisting of a domain corpora and a global corpora. The computer-implemented method can also comprise mapping, by the system, the received regulatory document or the received policy document to the control framework using a supervised machine learning technique.

  • Patent number: 9935940
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for increasing the security of a database. A database is coupled with an access manager to limit certain applications that use the database to store user password information to queries that return at most one row. Additionally, returning a record may be limited to a case where the query includes the hash of the user name and password that is stored in the database. Other techniques may be implemented for other user account operations, such as password resets.
