Abstract: There is no unified, comprehensive system for the governance of artificial intelligence (AI) agents. Accordingly, disclosed embodiments register a plurality of AI agents, potentially from disparate sources, into a centralized registry. Prior to activation, each AI agent is associated with a governance policy. After activation, each AI agent is monitored in real time, during execution, to determine whether or not the AI agent remains compliant with the associated governance policy. When an AI agent becomes non-compliant with the associated governance policy, corrective action may be taken, and the AI agent may be labeled as untrusted. The corrective action may comprise alerting a user, modifying the AI agent, adjusting an amount of each of one or more computational resources that is allocated to the AI agent, modifying an access of the AI agent to one or more systems, adjusting a communication control of the AI agent, and/or the like.

Abstract: Conventionally, artificial intelligence (AI) agents must be manually registered with platforms, which results in a lack of scalability, as the number of AI agents continues to surge into the millions and hundreds of millions, a lack of compatibility and standardization between agent specifications, and siloes of AI agents that cannot be combined into a unified registry. Accordingly, disclosed embodiments provide a AI-powered registration service that is capable of automatically registering AI agents, regardless of input format and regardless of the framework in which those AI agents are defined, using a standard agent schema, into a unified and centralized registry. In turn, this unified registry improves searching and discovery of AI agents.

Abstract: As the number of AI agents in operation has increased, it has become difficult to analyze and search registries of AI agents. Disclosed embodiments enable a holistic view of the behaviors of AI agents, including governance and/or human-like behaviors, both individually and in relation to the behaviors of other AI agents. In particular, a profiling service may embed each of a plurality of behaviors of each AI agent into the same vector space by feeding heterogeneous data about the AI agent through an AI model, converting the output of the AI model into an embedding vector, and storing the embedding vector in a vector database in association with the AI agent. The behaviors that are embedded into the vector space may comprise governance behaviors, human-like behaviors, and/or any other category of behavior. This provides scalability and explainable searches and comparisons of AI agents, behavior-wise or by any set of behaviors.

In some embodiments, a system for providing item information to customers in an online retail environment comprises a data store configured to store states of items, a user device, and a control circuit configured to receive, from backend systems, nonevent item information for a first item including pricing associated with a nonevent for the first item, receive from the backend systems, event item information for the first item including pricing information associated with an event for the first item and temporal information associated with the event, pregenerate, based on the nonevent item information, a nonevent state of the first item, pregenerate, based on the event item information, an event state of the first time, and transmit, for storage in the data store, the nonevent and event states of the first item.

Abstract: A heatsink has a base and fins disposed upon the base. The fins are configured to converge toward a center line of the heatsink so that, going from one side of the heatsink to the other, the fins converge and then diverge. As a result, the fins create air channels that are wider toward the sides of the heatsink and narrower at the centerline of the heatsink. The narrowness of the air channels, closer to the centerline, causes increased velocity of airflow, thereby providing relatively more heat removal.

Abstract: A method and system for managing a digital workflow include identifying a task from a series of tasks associated with a project; determining a type of the project and to-be-collected information associated with the task; generating a user interface for presenting in an automated digital workflow application, wherein the user interface comprises one or more user interactive elements determined based on the type of the project and the to-be-collected information associated with the task; identifying trigger criteria associated with the task; interrogating a master data hub associated with the digital workflow to detect data associated with a task trigger; and in response to data associated with the task trigger satisfying the trigger criteria, automatically activating the task by causing the user interface to be displayed in the automated digital workflow application.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises a memory having a data cache stored therein and a control circuit operably coupled thereto. The control circuit is configured to update that data cache in accordance with a scheduled update time. In the latter regards, by one approach, the control circuit computes selected entries for the data cache prior to the scheduled update time pursuant to a prioritization scheme to provide a substitute data cache. At the scheduled update time, the control circuit switches the substitute data cache for the data cache such that data queries made subsequent to the scheduled update time access the substitute data cache and not the data cache.

Abstract: In some embodiments, systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided herein useful for managing a plurality of concurrent and nearly concurrent data requests within a computer system. The systems have a main data storage for storing source data, and a high speed, and/or remote data storage for storing computed data. In some embodiments, a combination of data filters and distributed mutex processes are used to eliminate or limit duplicate reads and writes into the high speed data storage units by ensuring only a single service module gets a lock to do the read and update of the cache; and makes it possible for keys to expire and be removed from the data filter. The systems and methods herein have various applications including retail sales environments where the requested data is related to product sales, product availability and the like.

Abstract: A collector for fecal discharge is provided comprising a self-expanding resilient collection component, a housing sheath and a transit component. The collection component has an open proximal and distal end and a lumen connecting them. The component comprises interconnected resilient arms circumscribing its contour, wherein adjacent arms are resiliently biased away from each other for exerting outwardly radial pressure for expanding and anchoring the component to rectal walls upon deployment. The housing sheath comprises a flexible and resilient material overlaying at least one of inner or outer contour of collection component without interfering with or blocking its ends or lumen. The transit component provides a conduit for fecal discharge to migrate from collection component to a receptacle and comprises a flexible, tubular sheath having a first open end connected to a second end by a lumen, wherein the first end engages with the proximal end of the collection component.

Abstract: A system for value prediction for dynamic performance optimization includes a project value predictor that receives a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) and an initiative relating to an active project having a closure date. The KPI is associated with a KPI period including multiple intervals. The project value predictor operates to identify a relevant cluster of KPIs for the KPI based on historical data, forecast a future value of the KPI based on attributes/features of the KPI relative to the closure date, predict a possibility of failure of the KPI using a trained data model to pre-classify the KPI, categorize the KPI based on the future value or the pre-classification, where the KPI is categorized as failure based on the future value being less than a target KPI value after the KPI period and added to list for retraining the model based on the categorization. The system also leads to the identification and subsequent validation of Initiatives that impact the KPIs with quantification of the level of impact.
