  • Publication number: 20240095767
    Abstract: A method and a computer system for performing the method of determining an initial value or lifetime value for a domain name is provided. The method for determining an initial value includes obtaining, over a communication network, a domain name from requestor; obtaining, over the communication network, one or more inputs from one or more domain name data sources; applying the one or more inputs and the domain name to an initial lifetime worth computer model, wherein the one or more inputs comprise data related to comparable historical domain names, data from a linguistic model analysis, data from a linguistic frequency list, and data related to a second-level domain to top-level domain relationship analysis; determining, by a hardware processor, an initial lifetime worth for the domain name based on the initial lifetime worth computer model; and providing the initial lifetime worth for the domain name to the requestor.

  • Publication number: 20220107977
    Abstract: A method and system for inspecting a structure are disclosed. Data is obtained from a dimensional sensor such as a LIDAR, RGBD, or other sensor capable of collecting data in three dimensions to define a structure element or object, describing physical dimensions of a structure and its elements. A verbal description is obtained with an audio sensor. Machine learning (ML) engines identify the elements of the structure and its physical features. Audio data is parsed using NLP techniques to identify additional attributes such as the material composition of identified elements. An anomaly assessment ML engine processes the identified elements and the material composition data to determine damage or compliance status of each structure element, and financial estimation ML engine determines a financial value attributable to a structure element having the identified anomaly type(s).

  • Patent number: 10760095
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of plant breeding. More specifically, the present invention includes a method of using haploid plants for genetic mapping of traits of interest such as disease resistance. Further, the invention includes a method for breeding corn plants containing quantitative trait loci (QTL) that are associated with resistance to Gray Leaf Spot, a fungal disease associated with Cercospora spp.

  • Patent number: 10715414
    Abstract: The present invention includes various novel systems and methods for communication in a network. A System Environment Monitor is employed in some embodiments to extract from the network both real-time and historical Network Metrics at the Infrastructure Layer, as well as Application Metadata at the Application Layer. Network analytics facilitate decisions based upon the differing characteristics of Application Components and lower-level hardware components across multiple DTTs. In response, an SDN Controller generates modified sets of SDN Flows, and implements them in real time across a mixed technology (multi-DTT) network in a manner that avoids disrupting existing SDN Flows and other real-time network traffic.
