Abstract: The disclosed invention provides system and method for providing autonomous actions that are consistently applied to evolving missions in physical and virtual domains. The system includes a autonomy engine that is implanted in computing devices. The autonomy engine includes a sense component including one or more sensor drivers that are coupled to the one or more sensors, a model component including a world model, a decide component reacting to changes in the world model and generating a task based on the changes in the world model, and an act component receiving the task from the decide component and invoking actions based on the task. The sense component acquires data from the sensors and extracts knowledge from the acquired data. The model component receives the knowledge from the sense component, and creates or updates the world model based on the knowledge received from the sense component.

Abstract: An acoustic assembly includes a plurality of first slats and at least one second slat couplable with each one of the first slats for intersecting with each first slat. Each slat is preferably made from a substrate of a rigid or a semi-rigid material and has oppositely disposed second end portions. An engagement portion is coupled with each first and second end portion for resting atop at least one architectural element for supporting the acoustic assembly. The assembly may include a shear portion and a catch portion for providing a locking mechanism for further securing the first slats with the second slats. When the acoustic canopy is supported from the first and second end portions, the slats may sag to compress open-ended slots of the second slats for pinching the corresponding ones of the first slats received within the open-ended slots.
