  • Patent number: 11676391
    Abstract: A computer accesses a plurality of image frames. The computer identifies, within the plurality of image frames, a plurality of vehicle front vehicle back detections. The computer pairs at least a subset of the plurality of vehicle back detections with vehicle front detections. A given vehicle back detection is paired with a given vehicle front detection based on camera angle relative to a predefined axis. The computer assigns, using each of a plurality of pools, a score to each vehicle front detection—vehicle back detection pair, each non-paired vehicle front detection, and each non-paired vehicle back detection. Each pool comprises a data structure representing a scoring mechanism and a set of detections. The computer assigns each detection to a pool that assigned a highest score to that detection. Upon determining that a given pool comprises at least n detections: the computer labels the given pool as representing a specific vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20220260749
    Abstract: Discussed herein are devices, systems, and methods for rule-based weather impact assessment. A method can include receiving, by a user interface, a request for environmental condition impact data for specified equipment at a specified location, retrieving weather model data for the specified location, comparing the retrieved weather model data to user-defined rules associated with the specified equipment, and providing, by the user interface, a graphic depiction indicating whether the user-defined rule is satisfied in the specified location based on the comparison.

  • Patent number: 7996465
    Abstract: A portable electronic command board includes a computer for inputting incident data, a database for storing incident data locally within the computer and a wireless interface, connected to the computer, to connect the computer with another computer to replicate the database on the other computer to provide a collaborative workspace environment. Furthermore a touch screen is provided to input the incident data in a manner similar to drawing on a white board.

  • Patent number: 7783782
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a dynamic access method for a service oriented architecture includes receiving a number of proxy endpoints from a business application, selecting one proxy endpoint from among the multiple proxy endpoints, and transmitting a request to an enterprise service bus (ESB). The request includes the one proxy endpoint for accessing the particular web service that it references.
