Light Flicker Detector, Vincent Chung, Kart Liao, Chih Wei Chang, Gazi Yamin Iqbal

Defensive Publications Series

Light flickering can be detrimental to humans even if imperceptible. Headaches, migraine, and/or eye strain can result from exposure to flickering light. This disclosure describes techniques to detect and monitor light flicker. An ambient light sensor detects flickering in environmental lighting. Environmental light intensity is measured over a wide spectrum covering the human perceptive range. The peak flicker frequencies (and their magnitudes), flicker percentages, etc. are determined. If a substantial amount of flicker (greater than a threshold) is detected, an alert is provided. Furthermore, auto-generated instructions enable users to determine the light source that is the source of flickering.

Energy Management For Edge Sites, Andre Surcouf, Trevor Whinmill, Fabien Andrieux, Trevor Smith

Defensive Publications Series

Controlling energy consumption for edge sites is becoming a more important aspect of network management. For example, for far edge sites that may be powered by renewable energy, such as solar panels, it is mission critical to reduce energy consumption at such sites to only the resources that are strictly necessary to avoid any interruption of service. Further, for large edge sites that can include several compute nodes, such nodes typically operate at all times regardless of what applications may or may not be operating on the nodes. Various techniques are proposed herein that may facilitate optimum energy management for …

Defensive Publications Series

Extraction of dish names from user-provided content such as food photographs and captions, restaurant reviews, and other free-form text is a challenging task. Rule-based approaches are difficult to maintain and improve. Pattern matching against a predefined dictionary often suffers from low recall. Conventional machine learning models require large amounts of labeled data to perform named entity recognition (e.g., to recognize dish names) which is often costly and does not scale well across multiple languages and countries. This disclosure describes the use of a multimodal large language model to automatically extract dish names from user-generated content such as food photographs and …

Automatic Structured Menu Extraction From Menu Photographs, Bo Lin, Jinyang Yu, Jorge Nario, Xinru Yang

Delivering Event Data As Pre-Computed Time-Series Database Chunks For Poorly Connected Distributed Edge Environments, Trevor Smith, Sándor Szilárd Magyari, Marco Trinelli

Defensive Publications Series

Distributed edge computing is increasingly becoming the standard architecture for many uses cases. Distributed edge computing processes typically process workloads closer to where data originates, as opposed to cloud computing, which typically processes workloads in remote data centers. In some instances, such as for deployments in which data is to be aggregated across a large number of sources located in poorly connected environments, data generated at the sources can be sent opportunistically to the cloud for further processing. However, since the data cannot be streamed continuously to the cloud, the data may arrive out of order and/or late with respect …
