Execution-Mode-Dependent Enforcement Of Version-Bound Consent For Delegated Recurring Automation, Alexander Bering

Defensive Publications Series

Disclosed is a species-level arrangement in which one participant's consent to run another participant's shared, versioned automation artefact is bound to the artefact version consented to, and in which the strength with which that binding is enforced depends on how the run was initiated. For machine-initiated recurring runs, the executing component re-checks the recorded version mark itself, unconditionally, before every run; a mismatch does not fail the individual run but moves the standing arrangement into a durable, named parked state in which it never fires again until a human acts. For human-initiated runs, the same mismatch is surfaced only against …

Orientation-Based Eye Safety Control For Floor-Facing Optical Sensors In Mobile Robots, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

An orientation-dependent control system for floor-facing optical modules in a mobile ground vehicle is described. An orientation sensor supplies pitch and roll, or equivalent gravity-vector information, to a controller. If the vehicle remains outside a permitted orientation for a validation period, the controller disables, disconnects, or reduces optical emission. Normal operation is restored after the vehicle returns to a permitted orientation for a recovery period. The arrangement reduces unintended direct exposure during lifting, carrying, servicing, or transport and can reduce power use while the modules are not needed.

Intent-Aware Human Motion Interpretation, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

The central challenge of camera-based gesture input in video meetings is distinguishing deliberate interaction gestures from the natural hand motion that accompanies speech. This paper describes a system that meets that challenge through an intent classification engine evaluating kinematic, temporal, postural, spatial, and speech-aligned features over sliding temporal windows. Qualified gestures pass to a gesture-to-structure transformation pipeline that produces clean, labelled diagram elements—not freeform ink—and renders them as first-class shared content within the conferencing platform, visible to all participants in real time, without requiring specialised hardware.
