Abstract: A system, apparatus, computer program product, and method perform controlled video recording of video captured by a camera. The method includes checking by recorder circuitry of receipt of a ping signal sent from a server to the recorder, the ping signal being expected to be received by the recorder circuitry within a predetermined time interval after an earlier ping signal was received (or when an initial ping signal was expected to be received), in response to a determination by the recorder circuitry of not receiving the ping signal, entering an autonomous recording mode, the autonomous recording mode including recording video provided from at least one camera, and continuing operation of the autonomous recording mode until at least one of receiving another ping signal by the recorder circuitry, or receiving a control signal from the server that directs the recorder to stop recording the video provided from the at least one camera.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a first set of sensor data including data representing an object or an event in a monitored environment, receiving a second set of sensor data representing a corresponding time period as a time period represented by the first set of sensor data, inputting to a tutor classifier data representing the first set of data and including data representing the object or the event, generating a classification of the object or event in the tutor classifier, receiving the second set of sensor data at an apprentice classifier training process, receiving the classification generated in the tutor classifier at the apprentice classifier training process, and training the apprentice classifier in the apprentice classifier training process using the second set of sensor data as input and using the classification received from the tutor classifier as a ground-truth for the classification of the second set of sensor data.

Abstract: A hygienic container having a transport configuration and a service configuration. The hygienic container is made up of multiple individual parts (2,3,4,5,6,7) and the packing volume of the hygienic container in the transport configuration is less than or equal to 50% of the packing volume of the hygienic container in the service configuration.
