  • Publication number: 20250094195
    Abstract: A resource management configuration may receive an API request from an API server. The API request specifies task information from a plurality of tenants. The configuration transmits status information of a plurality of VMs to the API server to assign tasks to one or more VMs based on the task information and the status information. Tasks assigned to a VM of the plurality of VMs are for one tenant of the plurality of tenants. The configuration configures on an untrusted network, network security groups for managing communications of tenants such that a network security group configured for a tenant permits communications between VMs assigned to the same tenant but prevents communications between VMs assigned to different tenants. The configuration pins each assigned VM of the one or more assigned VMs to perform the task based on the task information of the corresponding tenant.

  • Publication number: 20250070818
    Abstract: The systems and methods described herein are directed to techniques for improving battery life performance of end devices in resource monitoring systems which transmit data using low-power, wide area network (LPWAN) technologies. Further, the techniques include providing sensor interfaces in the end devices configured to communicate with multiple types of metrology sensors. Additionally, the systems and methods include techniques for reducing the size of a concentrator of a gateway device which receives resource measurement data from end devices. The reduced size of the concentrator results in smaller, more compact gateway devices that consume less energy and reduce heat dissipation experienced in gateway devices. The concentrator may comply with modular interface standards, and include two radios configured for transmitting 1-watt signals.

  • Patent number: 12172081
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for detecting personal-space violations in artificial intelligence (AI) based non-player characters (NPCs) are disclosed. An AI engine creates a NPC that accompanies and/or interacts with a player controlled by a user playing a video game. During gameplay, measures of context-dependent personal space around the player and/or one or more NPCs are generated. A control circuit monitors the movements of the NPC during gameplay and determines whether the NPC is adhering to or violating the measures of context-dependent personal space. The control circuit can monitor the movements of multiple NPCs simultaneously during gameplay, keeping a separate score for each NPC. After some amount of time has elapsed, the scores of the NPCs are recorded, and then the scores are provided to a machine learning engine to retrain the AI engines controlling the NPCs.
