  • Patent number: 11344075
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for predicting a neurological injury to a participant in an activity. The activity can be, for example, an athletic activity that involves repeated, high-impact collisions between participants. Sensor data reflecting interactions between participants in the activity is received from various wearable and non-wearable sensors. The sensor data is evaluated in conjunction with a baseline neurological risk profile of a participant to determine a likelihood that the participant has suffered a potential neurological injury. If this likelihood meets a threshold risk level, an onsite request/response test is initiated to glean more information relating to the participant's condition. Response data associated with the onsite test is cognitively evaluated to determine an updated likelihood of neurological injury to the participant and a follow-up action is determined based on the updated likelihood of neurological injury.

  • Patent number: 11106758
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for providing a customized display of social media content are provided. Aspects include receiving a plurality of social media posts that have been published for display by a social media service. Aspects also include receiving a profile associated with a user of the social media service including social media post filtering preferences. The social media post filtering preferences are created based at least in part upon an analysis of social media posts that were previously disliked by the user. Aspects further include identifying a set of acceptable social media posts and a set of unacceptable social media posts. Aspects also include causing the set of acceptable social media posts to be displayed in a news feed window of the social media service in association with an account of the user of the social media service.

  • Publication number: 20200257825
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for providing a customized display of social media content are provided. Aspects include notifying a user of a social media service of a social media post. Aspects also include receiving an indication from the user that the user dislikes the social media post. Aspects further include modifying a viewing permission of the social media post to prevent the social media post from being displayed in a news feed of one or more friends of the user.

  • Patent number: 10353735
    Abstract: A computing system is configured to maintain equivalency of independent queues located in different coupling facilities. The computer system includes a first coupling facility and a second coupling facility. The first coupling facility receives a plurality of different commands instructing the first coupling facility to load data into a first structure. The first coupling facility generates a first command data block including first data corresponding to a received first command and a first sequence value indicating a sequence at which the first data was loaded into the first structure with respect to remaining data corresponding to the plurality of commands. A second coupling facility includes a second structure and a second queue. The second coupling facility receives the first command data block from a first queue of the first coupling facility and loads the first data from the second queue into the second structure based on the first sequence value.

  • Patent number: 10302441
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for updating a route of a vehicle based on a broadcast emergency signal are provided. Aspects include receiving, by a navigational device associated with the vehicle, the broadcast emergency signal indicating a route of an emergency vehicle and determining, by the navigational device, whether the route of the vehicle associated with the navigational device overlaps with the route of the emergency vehicle. Aspects also include determining a revised route for the vehicle based on a determination that the route of the vehicle associated with the navigational device overlaps with the route of the emergency vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20120183270
    Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method for determining whether a user of a computer system is a human or a computer program that includes determining whether a camera device is connected with the computer system, requesting the user to perform an action and reviewing the recorded image and validating whether the requested action has been performed by the user, based on one or more of a determined level of confidence that the user is a human, and any detected error in the recorded image. The recorded image is accepted or rejected based on policy settings of a service provider in view of the one or more of the determined confidence level and any detected error in the recorded image, wherein accepting the recorded image corresponds to a determination that the user is a human.
