  • Patent number: 11244123
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method may include obtaining, by processor, a first message composed in a first language and obtaining, by the processor, a translated first message. The translated first message may include a translation of the first message from the first language to a second language. The method may further include determining, by the processor, that the translated first message includes a translation-generated additional meaning, and notifying, by the processor, the first user of the determination.

  • Patent number: 11017359
    Abstract: Embodiments include techniques for determining the validity of service recommendations, where the techniques include receiving a service provider recommendation for a device from a service provider, and receiving device inputs and service provider inputs associated with the device. The techniques also include performing an input analysis on the device inputs to determine a predicted recommendation, and determining a trust level score for the service provider based at least in part on the service provider inputs, and comparing the service provider recommendation and the predicted recommendation. Techniques include performing, based at least in part on the trust level score, a value analysis and a severity analysis, and generating a recommended action based at least in part on the value analysis and the severity analysis.

  • Publication number: 20200126102
    Abstract: According to examples of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented method includes determining a gross value for the digital asset, the digital asset being associated with a user. The method further includes modifying the gross value to generate a modified value. The modified value is based at least in part on a user profile and a social media trend. The user profile defines a user preference indicative of a personal value of the digital asset to the user. The social media trend is indicative of a market value of the digital asset to a group of users. The method further includes reducing the modified value by an asset acquisition cost to determine a digital asset net value. The method further includes comparing the digital asset net value to a user value. The method further includes acquiring the digital asset when the digital asset net value exceeds the user value.

  • Patent number: 9293918
    Abstract: An electrical control system consisting of two or more electrical transmitting devices each capable of transmitting synchronized messages consisting of electrical pulses to devices connected to one or more of the three phases of the AC power lines in a typical three phase power system. The synchronized transmitters are each connected to neutral and to one or more of the three phases, A, B, and C, or across two of the phases, of different circuit breaker panels in a typical three phase power system, and are capable of transmitting messages to one or more of the three phases. The transmissions from the two or more transmitters are synchronized such that the transmitted pulses from each transmitter are transmitted at the same time to produce a message that can be received correctly at any receiving device connected to any of the connected circuit breaker panels.

  • Patent number: 8294556
    Abstract: Circuits and methods for transmission of digital data between two or more devices via powerline particularly suited for use in high attenuation, high noise commercial/industrial powerline environments, including transmission of pulses generated by a capacitor charged in the positive half cycle of the sine wave and discharged during the negative half-cycle, placing the pulse at one of two predetermined signal timing positions related to zero voltage crossing points or to previously transmitted pulses so that the pulses are substantially in the powerline temporal quiet zone near zero crossing and so that the powerline voltage at the time of the pulse is additive to the capacitor voltage.
