Abstract: A system to assist an owner of a low-profile vehicle to avoid damages related to vehicle impact upon a raised feature of a road is disclosed. The system may be configured to obtain one or more locations of a vehicle impact upon the raised feature by detecting an occurrence of the vehicle impact and recording contextual factors related to the vehicle impact upon the raised feature, where the one or more obtained locations are clustered into a first location bucket defined by a manual detection of the vehicle impact and a second location bucket defined by an automatic detection of the vehicle impact. The locations may be map-matched to map locations. The system may cluster the map-matched locations and automatically predict, using a trained machine learning model trained on ground truth of a region, potential locations of vehicle impact relevant to the owner of the low-profile vehicle.

Abstract: Various aspects of this disclosure relate to a prosthetic cover comprising an array of sensors, which transmit signals to an array of electrodes in a liner that fits over a residual limb of an amputee. Different interactions with the prosthetic cover cause different activation of the electrodes to transmit electrical current through different areas of the residual limb and modulate neurons differently within the residual limb. Various aspects of this disclosure also relate to a prosthetic liner with a substrate that includes electrodes for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and/or electronic muscle stimulation for a residual limb.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for using deepfakes defensively to detect fake, spoofed, and hoax accounts and posts on social media and elsewhere are provided. A program may gather verified images or writings of a target individual. The program may analyze the verified images and writings to create a baseline. The program may use deepfake algorithms to create exemplar deepfake images or writings. The program may store the data in a database. The program may search a network for social media accounts or posts that may meet the baseline and determine whether they are legitimate or illegitimate by comparing the contents of the accounts or posts with the exemplar deepfakes. When the program determines the accounts or posts are illegitimate, the program may initiate a takedown of those accounts or posts. The program may use machine learning algorithms to refine itself and become more accurate.

Abstract: In an embodiment, the present system can primarily determine the pilot bore profile of a horizontal directional drill (HDD) based on the number of rod sections added and the pitch reading from the underground transmitter at the front of the drill string (as communicated to the HDD drill rig via the walk-over locator), with such calculations being able to be made at the HDD drill rig and/or related remote display on the HDD drill rig. That is, since the length of a given rod section is known and the pitch readout is provided by the underground transmitter, the change in the overall depth of the drill string can be calculated, for example, on drill rod to drill rod basis based on rise over run geometry. The walk-over locator can then be used for a secondary confirmation of the actual depth, if conditions permit (e.g., in range of a direct walk-over).
