Abstract: A dual-purpose physiotherapy instrument includes a base, electromagnetic drives, a plate body and a movable board. The plate body is mounted on the upper end of the base. A surface of the plate body away from the base includes stoppers. The movable board is mounted to the plate body in a detachable manner. A first surface on the movable board includes limit holes that are matched with the stoppers. The middle part of a second surface opposite to the first surface includes a protruding portion. When the first surface of the movable board is mounted to the plate body, the movable board can integrally vibrate up and down. When the second surface of the movable board is mounted to the plate body, the protruding portion is pressed against the plate body to cause the two ends of the movable board to swing up and down relative to the support portion.

Abstract: In an embodiment, each of a set of subgraphs associating an entity from an entity graph with an item is extracted from a graph database. A label score, which is an importance of an item to a respective entity is computed for each subgraph. A training dataset including the set of subgraphs and the label score for each subgraph is generated. A set of ML regression models is trained on respective entity-specific subsets of the training dataset. An ML regression model associated with a second entity generates a prediction score for an unseen graph. From the set of subgraphs, one or more subgraphs associated with the second entity are determined based on the prediction score. A recommendation for one or more items is determined, based on the one or more subgraphs. The recommendation is displayed on a user device of the first entity.

Abstract: Logistical operations (e.g., warehouses) may use a voice-enabled workflow to facilitate the work tasks of a staff (i.e., population) of workers. Typically, it is necessary for a worker to travel from location-to-location to complete assigned work tasks. As such, a worker's time spent travelling often correlates with the worker's overall work performance. Understanding the worker's travel performance is highly desirable, but computing a fair and accurate travel-performance metric is difficult. One reason for this is that the distance a worker travels is often unknown. The present invention embraces a system and method for accurately and fairly assessing a worker's travel performance by analyzing the worker's voice dialog.

Abstract: Process for measuring emission for a flame in an open combustion environment. A captured image is received from each of a plurality of image capturing devices in at least one selected spectral band. Each of the plurality of image capturing devices is trained on the flame from the combustion process from a different perspective view angle. A spectral path length of the flame in the at least one spectral band is estimated from the captured images. Emitted radiance of the flame is estimated from the captured images, and a temperature of the flame is estimated from the estimated emitted radiance. A gas species concentration of the flame is estimated from the temperature of the flame and the spectral path length of the flame. Emission for the flame is measured from the gas species concentration.

Abstract: Alarms, including features such as source IP address, destination IP address, and timestamp, generated by an intrusion detection system are grouped into clusters. A rank value for each alarm within each cluster is determined by summing a weighted value for each feature within the respective alarm. A cluster rank is determined by summing each of the rank values within each cluster and dividing by the number of alarms in the respective cluster. The source IP address is used to determine a network IP address and subnet of a network architecture associated with the source IP address. The cluster ranks are displayed graphically to a user using a graphical database within a graphical user interface. Each of the clusters are mapped to a node link pair in the graphical database using an a priori logical network topology based upon the network IP address and the subnet of the network architecture.

Abstract: Indirect fire protocol according to several embodiments of the present invention can include the initial step establishing a grid and locating a forward observer (FO) and a firing unit (FU) in the grid. The FO can estimate the bearing and range to a High Value Target (HVT) within the grid, and can homomorphically encrypting said HVT estimated position data. FO can then transmit the encrypted HVT estimated position data over cloud network architecture to a Fire Direction Center (FDC), using the FDC's Keypublic. The FDC can outsource the calculation of an absolute position of said HVT in said grid to non-secure internet cloud architecture, but with encrypted HVT estimation data and the FO position data in the grid (which the FDC knows). Once calculated, the HVT encrypted absolute position data can be decrypted, and then transmitted from FDC to a FU, using the FU's Keypublic.
