  • Publication number: 20240195831
    Abstract: Disclosed is an improved approach for translating entity prioritization rules to a continuous numerical space. In some embodiments, the approach provided is a system for using qualitative prioritization criteria to train a system that generates quantitative urgency scores for entities. In some embodiments, this comprises an embedding scheme that enables the translation of entity information and their related alerts to a set of qualitative labels based on at least quantitative information. Generally, the system includes a set of analyst actions that establish desired mappings which are used to train a more general model that maps entity embeddings to responses. In some embodiments, the approach comprises one or more models that receive an entity embedding as an input and outputs a score that characterizes the urgency of the response warranted for that entity. In some embodiments, this is performed using various features (e.g., importance, actor type, velocity, and breadth).

  • Patent number: 10281851
    Abstract: An imaging device has a drive gear assembly which operatively engages with a backup roll gear of a fuser assembly when the fuser assembly is inserted into the imaging device. Such engagement causes the drive gear assembly to rotate, and in turn rotates a drive motor coupled to the drive gear assembly. The drive motor includes Hall Effect sensors associated with a sensor arrangement that senses rotation of the motor. During rotation of the drive motor, sensor signals are transmitted to a controller of the imaging device, the controller counting rising and falling signal edges of the received sensor signals. Based on the number of rising and falling signal edges, a message is sent to a user of the imaging device whether or not the installation of the fuser assembly was successful.
