  • Publication number: 20250136300
    Abstract: Described are techniques for determining an impact threat of an orbiting object by a crowdsource satellite network. The techniques include capturing, by a satellite included in a crowdsource satellite network, information associated with an orbiting object detected by the satellite. The techniques further include providing, by the satellite, the information associated with the orbiting object to the crowdsource satellite network. The techniques further include collaborating by the satellite with other satellites in the crowdsource satellite network to track the orbiting object, generate an orbital model of the orbiting object, and to analyze a predicted path of the orbiting object represented by the orbital model to determine an impact threat associated with the predicted path of the orbiting object.

  • Publication number: 20250037459
    Abstract: In an approach for interpreting one or more astronomical events and activating a network of telescopes for optimized observation of the one or more astronomical events, a processor monitors for a set of published content regarding the one or more astronomical events. Responsive to detecting the set of published content, a processor extracts, interprets, and correlates the set of published content to identify an area in space related to the one or more astronomical events for observation. A processor implements a monitoring system, wherein the monitoring system includes one or more registered telescopes of a network of telescopes to autonomously observe the area. A processor signals the one or more registered telescopes to capture an image of the one or more astronomical events. Responsive to the one or more registered telescopes capturing the image, a processor classifies one or more objects in the image. A processor publishes the image.

  • Patent number: 12147768
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program for detecting natural language (NL) bias by a conversational system is described. Embodiments of the invention determine an NL bias in a set of training questions used to train a machine learning model used by the conversational system to select a user intent. Other embodiments of the invention determine an NL bias in a user question received by the conversation system as compared to the set of training questions. The NL bias causes the machine learning to preferentially associate user queries to a user intent. In respective embodiments, the system takes a corrective action to adjust the NL bias of the training questions or the user question.

  • Publication number: 20240259100
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide systems and methods for implementing enhanced geo-restricted data management in satellite constellation datacenters. A disclosed system and methods implement a satellite constellation datacenter of multiple LEO satellites that enables real-time satellite communications using lasers and secure data storage in the satellite constellation datacenter to protect critical data from unauthorized access and supports secure data transfer between the LEO satellites using laser based data transfer. To enable secure storage of geo-location restricted data in a LEO satellite, the LEO satellite constellation datacenter defines a geo-location cone and requires that the geo-location restricted data be stored within the geo-location cone. LEO satellites within the defined geo-location cone store the geo-location restricted data and securely transfer the geo-location restricted data from one satellite to another satellite within the defined geo-location cone.

  • Patent number: 7475286
    Abstract: A system and method for correlating end user error reports with software developer defect logs to thereby update the end user error reports with information from the developer defect logs. With the system and method, when support personnel open an end user error report to address the problem encountered by the user, the mechanisms of the system and method search a defect report database to determine if there is any defect report related to the same error that is the subject of the opened end user error report. If so, the end user error report is updated to include information from the defect report. This information may include, for example, the identity of the source of the problem generating the error, the identity of the fix or patch that solves the problem generating the error encountered by the end user, if any, and the like.
