Abstract: A computer-implemented method for progressive profiling in a home automation system is described. Data related to a premises and an occupant of the premises may be analyzed and one or more observations may be made based on the analysis of the data. Upon detecting one or more conditions associated with the one or more observations made, an offer to perform one or more actions may be communicated to the occupant.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for personifying communications. According to at least one embodiment, the computer-implemented method for personifying a natural-language communication includes observing a linguistic pattern of a user. The method may also include analyzing the linguistic pattern of the user and adapting the natural-language communication based at least in part on the analyzed linguistic pattern of the user. In some embodiments, observing the linguistic pattern of the user may include receiving data indicative of the linguistic pattern of the user. The data may be one of verbal data or written data. Written data may include at least one of a text message, email, social media post, or computer-readable note. Verbal data may include at least one of a recorded telephone conversation, voice command, or voice message.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for managing and adding user profiles to access an automation system. According to at least one embodiment, the computer-implemented method includes receiving a request to add a user to an automation system. The request is generated from one of a mobile computing device or an automation controller of the automation system. The method further includes receiving contact information for the user and generating a message to send to the user. The message includes an invitation to the automation system. The method also includes sending the message to the user.

Abstract: A method of subsurface exploration includes generating a representation of a portional volume of the Earth from a seismic measurement of a physical parameter.

Abstract: A front wheel drive bicycle assembly includes a frame that may be mounted for riding. A front wheel is rotatably coupled to a front end of the frame and the front wheel rolls along a support surface. A pedal unit is rotatably coupled to the frame and the pedal unit is selectively pedaled. The pedal unit is in mechanical communication with the front wheel to rotate the front wheel thereby urging the frame along the support surface. A rear wheel is rotatably coupled to a back end of the frame and the rear wheel rolls along the support surface. Moreover, the rear wheel is selectively rotated about a vertical axis for steering. A steering unit is movably coupled to the frame and the steering unit is in mechanical communication with the rear wheel. In this way the steering unit selectively rotates the rear wheel about the vertical axis for steering.

Abstract: A method and system for mitigating survey fraud is provided. Survey responses stored in storage of a computer system are analyzed. The survey responses include identifiers associated with computing devices of users providing the survey responses. The number of the survey responses is totaled for each of the identifiers. The identifiers for which the number of the survey responses meets a threshold are identified as belonging to suspected gamers. At least some of the survey responses for the identifiers identified as belonging to suspected gamers are flagged as invalid.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining the angular position of a rotor. The rotor is a part of a resolver used to determine the position of a shaft, or the like, in operation in a system such as a shaft in a missile gimbal. A digital signal processor is used advantageously to reduce cost. The inherently poorer performance of a data sampling approach in the presence of noise, as compared to the prior art tracking converter approach, is overcome by novel application of the digital signal processor and related circuitry.
