  • Patent number: 11966497
    Abstract: A portable communication device, method, and system enable temporary access to private user information by a venue communication system. The temporary access to the private information is based on a registration that includes user selectable privacy thresholds and predetermined venue conditions. The temporary access by the venue communication system can be adjusted and limited by the portable communication device. The usage of the private data by the venue communication system may be limited to anonymous analytics and/or extended to non-anonymous analytics and notifications based on user input to the communication device.

  • Publication number: 20240046800
    Abstract: A device, system, and method for incident air space management is provided. A system includes a controller and a signaling unmanned aerial vehicle (SUAV) associated with a public-safety entity. The controller dispatches the SUAV to a location of a public-safety incident and generates a restricted airspace boundary for airspace, associated with the incident, within which the SUAV operates. The controller activates a restricted airspace beacon of the SUAV that correlates with the restricted airspace boundary. The SUAV broadcasts the restricted airspace beacon, indicating the restricted airspace boundary, relative to a current location of the SUAV. The restricted airspace beacon is operational in at least two modes: a stationary incident mode, during which the SUAV and the restricted airspace boundary are stationary relative to a fixed location of incident; and a mobile incident mode, during which the SUAV and the restricted airspace boundary are mobile and tracking a moving incident location.

  • Patent number: 11763022
    Abstract: Methods and systems for generating a response to a query using an AI engine. One method includes translating a received query into a profile comprised of at least a query type and a priority. The method further includes collecting, based on the profile, a first set of data items from a first data file storing data categorized as general public data and a second set of data items from a second data file storing data categorized as personal private information and applying an AI correlation engine to the second set of data items to determine PPI-agnostic relevancy indicators for PPI included in the second set of data items. The method further includes masking, based on the query cluster profile, the second set of data items by replacing the PPI included in the second set of data items with the PPI-agnostic relevancy indicators.

  • Patent number: 7083445
    Abstract: An apparatus for engaging and disengaging a first connector half (202) from a second connector half (204) includes a first ramp (206) and second ramp (216) for each connector half. The first and second ramps (206, 216) have frictional properties and geometries which cancel forces to provide for automatic separation of the ramps during connection of the two connector halves. For disconnection, the first and second ramps translate a horizontal push force (240) at the ends of the ramps into an upward motion so as to disengage the first connector half (202) from the second connector half (204).

  • Patent number: 6594822
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for creating a software patch by comparing object files. Method and apparatus are provided that create a software patch using object files of two software sources. The invention creates software patches for software programs written any high-level language so long as the programs compile to a standard object file format, and required information can be recovered. Functions of a compiled version of an existing software program are compared with an updated version that is compiled in a separate object file to discover a minimal set of changes, or “deltas” (for the patching process). The process for creating a patch includes decomposing the object file into cantles, examining fix-up information, creating reduced program dependency graphs, and comparing the graphs to determine the changes and create the patch.
