  • Patent number: 11200339
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system, method, and apparatus for securing electronic personal identifying information. The system enhances data privacy, by minimizing the amount of authentic personal identifying information that is shared with a third party. Namely, the system includes a database of known websites, apps, etc. that require personal identifying information to sign up—and then classifies whether any given type of information is strictly necessary to the functioning of the website. The system then generates placeholder “dummy” data for any fields that are required for signup, but are not strictly necessary for the website to function. The system allows for creation of several user profiles that vary the amount of authentic personal identifying information to be shared, based on the user's preferences. The system therefore helps to secure personal information in the event that, for example, the website later has a data breach.

  • Patent number: 11200354
    Abstract: Described is a system for selecting measurement nodes in a distributed physical system of agents. In operation, the distributed physical system is represented as a multi-layer network having a communication layer and an agent layer. The communication layer represents the amount of collective communication activities between any pair of areas and the agent layer represents movement of agents within the distributed physical system such that the communication layer and agent layer collectively generate network dynamics. The network dynamics are modeled as hybrid partial differential equations (PDEs) with measurable interconnected states in the communication layer. Notably, placement of a minimum set of measurement nodes is determined within the distributed physical system to provide full-state observability of the distributed physical system. The system can then track the full system state and apply compensation to one or more agents in the distributed physical system based on tracking the full system state.

  • Patent number: 11200356
    Abstract: In modeling contact between two or more objects (such as a robotic arm placing a block on a stack of blocks) or articulations of a series of linked joints (such as modeling a backhoe), current techniques can introduce additional energy into the system or fail to resolve a constraint imposed on the system. The current techniques attempt to resolve these issues, for example, by using very small time steps. Very small time steps, however, can significantly increase computational costs of the modeling simulation. The disclosed simulation system for rigid bodies uses a time interval to reduce linearization artifacts due to the small time steps and reduce computational costs with faster solver convergence by permitting more efficient bias calculations. High mass handling can also be improved through the more efficient bias calculations.

  • Patent number: 11200375
    Abstract: Systems and methods for delivering cross-site auto-play media are described herein. The server can receive, from a client device, a request for media content at a first domain embedded in a content element from a second domain. The request can include an identifier indicating that the client device is configured to restrict cross-domain redirection. The server can determine, responsive to identifying the identifier indicating that the client device is configured to restrict cross-domain redirection, that the request comprises a content type header having a first predetermined value. The server can generate, responsive to the determination, a response comprising the media content element in a body of the response. The server can transmit the response to the client device. Receipt of the response can cause the client device to extract the media content element from the body of the response and to render the media content element.

  • Patent number: 11200379
    Abstract: Computer implemented systems and methods of processing clinical documentation for a multi-axial coding scheme include inputting clinical documentation from memory operatively coupled with a computer system, and executing a natural language processor configured to process narrative text in the clinical documentation. The processor segments the narrative text based on boundaries defined in the clinical documentation, sequences words in the narrative text based on the segmentation, and maps the sequenced words to semantic objects in an ontology database. The ontology defines classes of semantic objects and relationships between them, corresponding to the multi-axial coding scheme. The semantic objects are converted into characters and output into slots in a medical code, with the characters positioned in the slots based on the multi-axial coding scheme.
