  • Publication number: 20240187425
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing a multi-attribute cluster-identifier that supports identifying malicious activity in computing environments. An instance of an activity having an attribute set can be assessed. The attribute set of the instance of the activity is analyzed to determine whether the instance of the activity is a malicious activity. The attribute set of the instance of the activity is compared to a plurality of multi-attribute cluster-identifiers of previous instances of the activity, such that, a determination that the instance of the activity is a malicious activity is made when the attribute set of the instance of the activity corresponds to an identified multi-attribute cluster-identifier. The identified multi-attribute cluster-identifier has a risk score and an attribute set that indicate a likelihood that the instance of the activity is a malicious activity. A visualization that identifies the instance of the activity as a malicious activity is generated.

  • Publication number: 20240169624
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that modify digital images via scene-based editing using image understanding facilitated by artificial intelligence. For instance, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems generate utilizing a segmentation neural network, an object mask for each object of a plurality of objects of a digital image. The disclosed systems detect a first user interaction with an object in the digital image displayed via a graphical user interface. The disclosed systems surface, via the graphical user interface, the object mask for the object in response to the first user interaction. The disclosed systems perform an object-aware modification of the digital image in response to a second user interaction with the object mask for the object.

  • Publication number: 20240159280
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a transmission that performs a method of operating a clutch of a vehicle. The vehicle includes the clutch, an actuator device and a processor. The actuator device includes a piston movable to operate the clutch. The processor is configured to receive a pressure signal indicative of a selected fluid pressure for operating the clutch, determine a position for the piston in the actuator device from the pressure signal, and move the piston to the position to operate the clutch at the selected fluid pressure.

  • Patent number: 11966987
    Abstract: A system that allows for channel and platform agnostic automated scheduling. A user that is registered with the system may add an automated assistant into a pre-existing communication thread or channel, such as a short messaging service (“SMS”) conversation between multiple friends. Any user in the thread may interact with the assistant even if not registered with the system. Once present, the assistant analyzes messages sent to the thread for wake words that trigger actions or responses by the system, including automated scheduling actions. When scheduling is invoked, the system will find acceptable times based on top-down and bottom-up availability provided by registered users, and will propose meeting times until one is accepted by some or all of the participants. Once accepted, the system will confirm the meeting, update linked calendars, and provide reminders to attendees.

  • Patent number: 11965681
    Abstract: A refrigeration system and a lubricating method thereof. The refrigeration system (100) includes: a compressor (110), a condenser (120), an evaporator (130), and a lubrication circuit (200), the lubrication circuit including a post-lubrication flow path (230,240,260) connected from the compressor into the condenser and the evaporator respectively; and a pre-lubrication flow path (210,220,250) connected from the condenser and the evaporator into the compressor respectively; wherein after flowing from the condenser via the pre-lubrication flow path to the compressor for lubrication, a part of refrigerant for lubrication can flow back to the evaporator via the post-lubrication flow path; or after flowing from the evaporator via the pre-lubrication flow path to the compressor for lubrication, the part of refrigerant for lubrication can flow back to the condenser via the post-lubrication flow path.
