  • Patent number: 11682926
    Abstract: A wireless transmission system includes a transmitter antenna, a sensor, a demodulation circuit, and a transmitter controller. The sensor is configured to detect electrical information superimposed on an AC wireless signal. The demodulation circuit is configured to receive the electrical information from the at least one sensor, apply automatic bias control and gain control to generate modified electrical information, detect a change in the modified electrical information and determine if the change in the modified electrical information meets or exceeds one of a rise threshold or a fall threshold. If the change exceeds one of the rise threshold or the fall threshold, an alert is generated. Alerts are decoded into the electrical information.

  • Publication number: 20230177368
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of integrating an Artificial Intelligence (AI) planner and a reinforcement learning (RL) agent through AI planning annotation in RL (PaRL) includes identifying an RL problem. A description received of a Markov decision process (MDP) having a plurality of states in an RL environment is used to generate an RL task to solve the RL problem. An AI planning model described in a planning language is received, and mapping state spaces from the MDP states in the RL environment to AI planning states of the AI planning model is performed. The RL task is generated with an AI planning task from the mapping to generate a PaRL task.

  • Publication number: 20230152938
    Abstract: In some implementations, a device may receive, via a data stream, log data associated with a set of register devices and may extract state information associated with the set of register devices from the log data. The device may transmit, to a client device, presentation information to cause the state information associated with the set of register devices and one or more user selection options for initiating actions to be performed by the set of register devices to be displayed by the client device via a graphical user interface (GUI). The device may receive an indication of a user input provided via the GUI associated with a user selection option of the one or more user selection options, that indicates an action to be performed by a register device. The device may communicate, with the register device, to cause the register device to perform the action.
