Abstract: Disclosed are an apparatus, system, and method of a visual sensor of a tactical gear to use facial recognition technology to identify a person of interest and to cause a responsive device on the tactical gear to notify a wearer. In one embodiment, a personal protective equipment includes a responsive device integrated in a tactical gear and a visual sensor. The visual sensor of the tactical gear identifies a target person using an identity artificial intelligence model. The responsive device notifies a wearer of the tactical gear when the visual sensor identifies the target person. Further, the responsive device notifies an additional person when the visual sensor identifies a threat to a protectee of the wearer and the additional person. The responsive device may vibrate when the visual sensor of the tactical gear detects an ambient threat to the protectee of the wearer.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method, system, and apparatus of s body safety device with visual sensing and haptic response using artificial intelligence. In one embodiment, a body worn safety device includes a visual sensor integrated into a tactical gear and a haptic feedback device integrated in the tactical gear. The haptic feedback device vibrates when the visual sensor detects an ambient threat to a wearer of the tactical gear. The haptic feedback device may detect the ambient threat using an artificial intelligence based threat detection model. The visual sensor may be part of an array of visual sensors around a torso of the wearer such that ambient threats around the wearer are captured through the artificial intelligence based threat detection model. A battery unit may be detachable from the tactical gear.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method, system, and apparatus of personal protective equipment having a responsive device to vibrate when an unmanned aerial vehicle detects an ambient threat using artificial intelligence. In one embodiment, a personal protective equipment includes a drone control apparatus integrated into a chest area of a tactical gear and a responsive device integrated in the tactical gear. The responsive device notifies a wearer of the tactical gear when an unmanned aerial vehicle detects an ambient threat to the wearer. The unmanned aerial vehicle is communicatively coupled with the tactical gear. The responsive device detects the ambient threat using an artificial intelligence based threat detection model. The responsive device may notify a wearer haptically if it is a haptic sensor, auditorily if it is an audio sensor, and/or visually if it is a LED/light based sensor.

Abstract: Examples are described herein for providing a graphical user interface (“GUI”) in a pre-operating system (“pre-OS”) boot environment. In some examples, an object-oriented hierarchy of data structures that define a plurality of GUI elements may be generated from user interface data provided by a firmware module. A plurality of bitmaps corresponding to a subset of the hierarchy of data structures may be stored, e.g., in memory for rendition on a display while the pre-OS boot environment is active. Each bitmap may portray a visual aspect of a given GUI element of the plurality of GUI elements.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for applying particle films to control stress on plant tissues. An exemplary method for controlling stress on plant tissues includes calculating a current plant tissue stress value for the plant tissues, and applying an effective amount of a particle film to the plant tissues if the calculated current plant tissue stress value is greater than or equal to a predetermined plant tissue stress value. The method may further include calculating a second current plant tissue stress value for the plant tissues after the application of the effective amount of the particle film, and calculating a future plant tissue stress value for the plant tissues. The calculated current plant tissue stress value, the second current plant tissue stress value, and the future plant tissue stress value may be analyzed to predict a future application of the effective amount of the particle film to the plant tissues.

Abstract: The present invention provides optically selective coatings for plant tissues, such as agricultural products. The coatings are designed to transmit a desired spectrum of light, while preventing harmful intensities of radiation in given wavelength ranges from damaging the plant tissues. For example, a coating may be tailored to perform as a low-pass filter preferentially allowing shorter wavelengths to penetrate the coating, a high-pass filter preferentially passing longer wavelengths, or a band-pass filter, preferentially passing visible light to the plant tissues while minimizing the penetration of ultraviolet and infrared light. An exemplary embodiment comprises making an optically selective coating by determining a desired transmission spectrum for the coating, then calculating the film properties (such as thickness, particle size, and/or index of refraction, for example) of one or more materials to obtain the desired transmission spectrum for the film to be applied to the surface to be protected.

Abstract: In one embodiment a computer system, comprises a processor, a basic input/output system (BIOS) including logic instructions which, when executed by the processor, configure the processor to present, in a user interface, one or more devices coupled to a computer system and one or more management alert formats applicable to one or more devices, receive a selection signal from the user interface identifying one of the management alert formats presented in the user interface, and configure one or more devices coupled to the computing system with the identified management alert format.

Abstract: There is provided a system and method for programming a data storage device with a password. Specifically, there is provided a method comprising initiating a password programming routine for a data storage device, and programming the data storage device with the password associated with an external storage medium, wherein the data storage device is configured to condition access to the data stored on the data storage device based on the password.

Abstract: Date/time windows may be defined to indicate periods during which a computing device should not enter a power conservation mode such as a sleep mode. If the sleep mode is requested while the device is operating, a determination may be made whether the current date/time falls within any of the windows. If the current date/time falls within any of the windows, then the request for sleep mode may be denied or suppressed and the device may continue to operate normally. Otherwise, the device may enter the sleep mode.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to recovering custom BIOS settings in a computer having a system ROM, a first non-volatile memory and a second non-volatile memory, comprising: storing custom default BIOS settings in the first memory, wherein custom default BIOS settings comprise at least the custom BIOS settings; and storing current BIOS settings in the second memory, wherein the current BIOS settings comprise at least a copy of the default BIOS settings, wherein an executing BIOS accesses the second memory and not the first memory.
