  • Patent number: 12287215
    Abstract: A method for assessing driving routes to mitigate wear on a vehicle may include determining a driving route traversed by a vehicle, the driving route including an origin and a destination. The method may include receiving signals generated by a number of sensors built into specific locations on the vehicle, the sensors including at least one vibration sensor. The method may include assessing wear on the vehicle due to one or more wear mechanisms based on the signals. The method may include identifying a correlation between the driving route and the assessed wear on the vehicle, transmitting information associated with the correlation between the driving route and the assessed wear on the vehicle, receiving a routing recommendation based on information about an alternate route, and displaying the routing recommendation.

  • Publication number: 20250084952
    Abstract: An adjustable installation device for hanging objects on vertical structures is described. In one example, an adjustable installation device includes a body section having a first track member slidably positioned within a second track member, a foot section coupled to the second track member, and a head section rotatably coupled to the first track member at a pivot point. The head section is at least partly rotatable about the pivot point and includes plates extending from an end of the head section, guide holes formed through the plates on a common centerline that extends through a center of each of the guide holes, and an alignment device operable to align the common centerline with a defined plane. The first and second track members are collectively operable to slide the foot and head sections in opposite linear directions to adjust a distance between the foot section and the common centerline.

  • Patent number: 12210629
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for automatic evaluation of security incidents. One method includes receiving a resolution status, for a set of insights, indicating if each insight was a true or a false positive. A global training set, comprising the resolution status for the insights, is generated, and a local training set with a subset of the insights associated with a first user. A machine-learning (ML) program is trained, using the global training set, to obtain a global model, and using the local training set to obtain a local model for the first user. When a new insight for the first user is detected, a global score is obtained using the global model, and a local score is obtained using the local model. A confidence score, calculated based on the global and local scores, is presented as an indication of an estimated severity of the new insight.

  • Publication number: 20250007994
    Abstract: Embodiments of the systems described herein can implement one or more visitor tearing processes. Visitor tearing can include, among other things, one or more processes by which multiple visitors that may appear to be the same visitor may be separated into different visitor profiles due to the leveraging of one or more unique persistent identifiers.

  • Publication number: 20240422117
    Abstract: A communications monitoring software identifies first communications between a user and other users. The communications monitoring software associates respective communication scores with the first communications based on respective identified communications features of the first communications. With respect to each audio-only communication of the first communications, the identified communications features include at least two of a number of users in the each audio-only communication; whether the user enabled a microphone associated with the user; whether another user in the each audio-only communication enabled a microphone associated with the another user; a total amount of time that the user spoke; or a total amount of time that the another user spoke. The communications monitoring software identifies a subset of second communications based on the respective communication scores associated with the first communications. The subset of the second communications are presented in a user interface to the user.

  • Publication number: 20240400392
    Abstract: A process for the production of a carbon nanotube product comprises: introducing sequentially or concurrently a metal catalyst precursor, a source of carbon and a sulphur-containing additive into a continuous flow of a hydrogen-containing carrier gas in a temperature-controlled flow-through reactor; exposing the metal catalyst precursor in the flow of the carrier gas to a first temperature zone sufficient to generate particulate metal catalyst; exposing the catalyst, the source of carbon and the sulphur-containing additive to a second temperature zone downstream from the first temperature zone that can produce a carbon nanotube aggregate; discharging the aggregate as a continuous discharge through a discharge outlet of the reactor; collecting the continuous discharge in the form of a carbon nanotube product; and recycling continuously an exhaust stream of hydrogen by-product exhausted from the outlet to progressively replace the continuous flow.

  • Publication number: 20240394051
    Abstract: A method includes generating a bill of materials for a piece of source code, where the piece of source code comprises a plurality of lines of code, providing the bill of materials to a knowledge base with a request for known call signatures, receiving, from the knowledge base, a list comprising a plurality of known call signatures and a plurality of reuse estimates, wherein each reuse estimate of the plurality of reuse estimates indicates an estimate of a number of lines of reused code associated with one call signature of the plurality of known call signatures, generating an initial calculation of a number of lines of reused code that are present in the piece of source code, using the list comprising the plurality of known call signatures, and generating a report indicating an amount of the source code that comprises reused code, based on at least the initial calculation.

  • Publication number: 20240289119
    Abstract: A system for updating application capabilities across identity and access management (IAM) platforms is provided herein. The system receives data at a central system from a plurality of data sources. The central system identifies deployed application capabilities based on data from a first data source and identifies target application capabilities from a second data source. The central system compares the one or more deployed application capabilities to the one or more target application capabilities to identify a capability gap, wherein the capability gap represents a target capability not included in the deployed application capabilities. The central system automatically selects one or more applications to update based on the identified capability gap, and the central system automatically updates the selected applications by deploying the target application capabilities not included in the deployed application capabilities to the selected applications via an IAM platform.
