  • Publication number: 20250328151
    Abstract: A Crime Detection robotic System is provided to detect a wide range of crimes through four functions: the pre-processing function, the evaluation function, the decision-making function, and the key manager function. The crime detection system accomplishes the mission either by a single robot or by a group of robots, which is determined and managed by the key manager function. The crime detection mission can be pre-determined and stored in the system library. A new crime detection mission can be newly created by software and a new set of keys. The key manager along with the three other functions can dynamically re-define and re-assign a single or multiple robots for a single or multiple crime detection missions on the same robotic platform leading to a cost-effective method for a wide range of crimes.

  • Publication number: 20240362421
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and computer-readable media for automatically classifying and moderating content. In an embodiment, a method may include receiving input data and one or more content policies, and generating a content taxonomy. The method may also include receiving multi-domain cold start data and generating training data. The method may also include accessing a language model based on the input data and the training data, and iteratively classifying the content of the input data using the language model and the content taxonomy, refining the training data based on the classified content of the input data, refining the language model based on the refined training data, probing the refined language model, and updating the threshold value based on the probing of the refined language model. The method may also include moderating the content of the input data based on the optimized language model and the content taxonomy.

  • Patent number: 10677680
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for monitoring flexible tubing connections are described. An example flexible tube device may include a pair of ends and an opening disposed at one of the ends. The opening may define a receiving section to receive a male fitting. The flexible tube may also include a sensing device extending within the flexible tube at the receiving section. The sensing device may be configured to sense an expansion or a contraction of the flexible tube at the receiving section.

  • Patent number: 10309864
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for monitoring flexible tubing connections are described. An example flexible tube device may include a pair of ends and an opening disposed at one of the ends. The opening may define a receiving section to receive a male fitting. The flexible tube may also include a sensing device extending around an exterior portion of the flexible tube at the receiving section. The sensing device may be configured to sense an expansion or a contraction of the flexible tube at the receiving section.

  • Publication number: 20060015521
    Abstract: The operation of a data flow is improved by providing for validation of the consistency of the data flow with the external data files it works with, even in the face of changes in those external data files Metadata is stored regarding the external data files. Because external data files may change, this metadata is used when determining whether the external data files are still compatible with the data flow. In such performing such validation, the metadata tracks what changes in the external data files have occurred, and allows increased flexibility in presenting the user with options or in automatically fixing the data flow to correspond with changes in external data files. When the external data files are not available, the stored metadata can be used to validate the data flow to the last information regarding the external data files. The external metadata can be resynchronized to the data flow or to the external data files to provide updated external metadata for later validation.
