Patent number: 11928880Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for detecting an uncovered portion of a body of a person in a frame of video content. In an example, a first machine learning model of a computing system may output a first score for the frame based on a map that identifies a region of the frame associated with an uncovered body part type. Depending on a value of the first score, a second machine learning model that includes a neural network architecture may further analyze the frame to output a second score. The first score and second score may be merged to produce a third score for the frame. A plurality of scores may be determined, respectively, for frames of the video content, and a maximum score may be selected. The video content may be selected for presentation on a display for further evaluation based on the maximum score.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Xiaohang Sun, Mohamed Kamal Omar, Alexander Ratnikov, Ahmed Aly Saad Ahmed, Tai-Ching Li, Travis Silvers, Hanxiao Deng, Muhammad Raffay Hamid, Ivan Ryndin

Patent number: 11746649Abstract: A method of determining a presence of a leak in a wall of a production tubing string includes positioning an electrical submersible pump is positioned at the string's downhole end. Based on measurements from a pressure sensor positioned at a downhole location at a discharge end of the electrical submersible pump, it is determined that a discharge pressure has decreased over a specified time period. Based on measurements from a pressure sensor within a wellhead of the well, it is determined that a pressure within the production tubing string at the surface has decreased over the specified time period. Based on measurements from a flow-rate sensor at an uphole end of the production tubing string, it is determined the flow rate has decreased relative to a calculated expected flow rate. Based on a pressure integrity test initiated in response to these determinations, the presence of the leak is determined.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2022Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: Saudi Arabian Oil CompanyInventors: Abdullah M.

Patent number: 11589116Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for detecting a type of prurient activity shown by a portion of video content. In an example, a machine learning model of a computer system may receive a second portion of video content, the machine learning model including a neural network that is trained to analyze a temporal dimension of the second portion. The machine learning model determines a score indicating a likelihood that the video content shows the type of prurient activity based in part on applying a three-dimensional filter to the second portion of the video content. The computer system then generates a video clip that includes at least the portion of the video content showing the type of prurient activity based on the score, and provides the video clip for display.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2021Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Mohamed Kamal Omar, Xiaohang Sun, Ivan Ryndin, Tai-Ching Li, Alexander Ratnikov, Muhammad Raffay Hamid, Ahmed Aly Saad Ahmed, Travis Silvers, Hanxiao Deng

Patent number: 11365866Abstract: Systems are disclosed for providing ultraviolet (UV) energy to items on a processing surface. The system includes a lamp positioned over the processing surface to provide UV energy to the processing surface and a reflector cell positioned to cause UV energy emitted from the lamp in a direction away from the processing surface to be reflected toward the processing surface. The system includes the reflector cell having a reflector cap positioned above the lamp and a shroud extending downwardly from the reflector cap toward the conveyor wherein the shroud has a vertical dimension, a longitudinal dimension, and a horizontal dimension along the direction of the conveyor such that the horizontal dimension and the longitudinal dimension define a treatment area on the conveyor. The lamp is configured to deliver energy to the treatment area such that the delivered energy to the processing surface is substantially uniform over the treatment area.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2020Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: Xenon CorporationInventors: Stephen R.

Publication number: 20220094702Abstract: A system and method are provided for growing cyber security awareness relating to social engineering and administering anti-social engineering training. The system makes use of artificial intelligence (AI), cyber security strategies and/or gamification principles to help organizations better understand and prepare for potential social engineering security risks. One embodiment of the system includes a reinforcement learning (RL) module, which further includes a trained predictor and an agent that interacts with a target. The RL module receives as input a training dataset that includes information about the target. The trained predictor generates a bait for the target based on the input training dataset; and the agent delivers the generated bait as an attack on the target. The RL module outputs a playbook of the attack, which can be used to update the training dataset and the trained predictor for subsequent iterative attacks, and/or to recommend social engineering countermeasures to the target.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2021Publication date: March 24, 2022Inventors: Sherif SAAD AHMED, Luis Gabriel Rueda
