Dominant-Harm-Anchored Severity Scoring Engine For Ai Incident Classification With Diminishing-Contribution Context Modeling And Calibration-Aware Regulatory Trigger Confidence Bands, Mukesh Kumar Singh Jun 2026

Dominant-Harm-Anchored Severity Scoring Engine For Ai Incident Classification With Diminishing-Contribution Context Modeling And Calibration-Aware Regulatory Trigger Confidence Bands, Mukesh Kumar Singh

Defensive Publications Series

A severity scoring system and method for classifying artificial intelligence (AI) security incidents. The system computes a severity score using a dominant-harm anchor: the highest-weighted harm dimension present in an incident is taken as the base score, with all other present harm dimensions contributing only half their summed weight, capped at a fixed maximum, preventing minor cumulative harms from arithmetically equalling a single severe harm. Situational context factors (attack-vector-specific) are added on top of the harm-anchored base score using a diminishing-contribution model in which each successive context, ordered by descending base value, contributes half the weight of the previous context, …

Disclosure Summary: The AI Robot Compatible™ ecosystem defines RPnP™ and RP2P™ as independent companion standards governed by independent foundations — RPnP™ Foundation and RP2P™ Foundation — under the neutral parent AI Robot Foundation. RPnP™ is to robot hardware …


Rp2p Bridge — Hardware-Level Network Protocol Capability Handshake Separating Physical Compatibility From Network Cooperation, Edward D. H. Wang Jun 2026

Rp2p Bridge — Hardware-Level Network Protocol Capability Handshake Separating Physical Compatibility From Network Cooperation, Edward D. H. Wang

Defensive Publications Series

Field: Robot hardware compatibility standards; network protocol architecture; robot interoperability

Problem Solved: Prior robot connectivity standards conflate physical interface compatibility with network cooperation capability. A robot that is physically compatible with a peer cannot determine at the hardware layer whether that peer is capable of network cooperation protocols without initiating a full software handshake. This creates unnecessary latency and complexity in multi-robot environments.

Disclosure Summary: RPnP™ Layer 6 — the RP2P Bridge — defines a minimal hardware-level capability handshake that declares network protocol capability at the physical connector level, cleanly separating the hardware compatibility stack (RPnP™) from the network cooperation …

Opt-In Comparison Of A Consumer-Wearable Biometric Against A General-Population And A Self-Reported Disease-Cohort Distribution, Computed Without Raw Data Leaving The Device, Under Composed On-Device Local Differential Privacy, Secure Cross-Device Aggregation, Streaming (W-Event) Privacy Budgeting, And Minimum-Cohort Small-Cell Gating, Gerard Ziemski Jun 2026

Opt-In Comparison Of A Consumer-Wearable Biometric Against A General-Population And A Self-Reported Disease-Cohort Distribution, Computed Without Raw Data Leaving The Device, Under Composed On-Device Local Differential Privacy, Secure Cross-Device Aggregation, Streaming (W-Event) Privacy Budgeting, And Minimum-Cohort Small-Cell Gating, Gerard Ziemski

Defensive Publications Series

Consumer health wearables increasingly let a user see how a personal biometric (resting heart rate, heart-rate variability, cardiorespiratory fitness, respiratory rate, blood-oxygen saturation, sleep duration) compares to a population. This disclosure describes a method by which a user opts in to such a comparison and is shown two distributions — one for a general population and one for a self-reported disease cohort (paradigmatically Parkinson's disease), each optionally filtered by sex and age band — without any raw, identifiable health value ever leaving the user's device. The novelty is not in any single component, all of which are established prior art …


Per-Session Sleep Onset Latency As A Two-Tailed Self-Tracking Signal In Parkinson's Disease, Measured Across Nights And Naps Over A Staging-Independent In-Bed Window, Gerard Ziemski Jun 2026

Per-Session Sleep Onset Latency As A Two-Tailed Self-Tracking Signal In Parkinson's Disease, Measured Across Nights And Naps Over A Staging-Independent In-Bed Window, Gerard Ziemski

Defensive Publications Series

A companion family of disclosures analyzes consumer-wearable sleep over a staging-independent in-bed window — robust overnight heart-rate variability, the same per session including naps, and the inverse movement-active "burden" read — by windowing on time-in-bed rather than the device's movement-based sleep/wake labels. None of them measures how long it takes to fall asleep. This disclosure adds sleep onset latency (SOL) to that family: per session — every night and every nap — SOL is computed as the offset from a sleep-intent anchor (the start of the in-bed window, optionally tightened by secondary cues) to the first sustained sleep onset detected …


Design Rationale For A Retroinverso 4-Fluorophenylalanine Ss-31 Analogue (Ri-4fphe-Ss31), Karsten Seto Jun 2026

Design Rationale For A Retroinverso 4-Fluorophenylalanine Ss-31 Analogue (Ri-4fphe-Ss31), Karsten Seto

Defensive Publications Series

This document describes the design rationale, predicted properties, and molecular specification for RI-4FPhe-SS31, a retroinverso analogue of the mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide SS-31 (elamipretide, D-Arg-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH2) incorporating a 4-fluorophenylalanine substitution. The two modifications address independent metabolic vulnerabilities of the parent compound: the retroinverso backbone confers resistance to endogenous peptidases, while the 4-fluorine substitution on the C-terminal phenylalanine blocks CYP450-mediated aromatic hydroxylation. The combined effect is predicted to extend the plasma half-life of the molecule while preserving the net +3 charge and the spatial arrangement of cationic and aromatic side chains required for selective interaction with cardiolipin at the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Multi-Vector Distributed Denial-Of-Service Mitigation Using Zero-Trust Identity And Predictive Artificial Intelligence-Based Distributed Denial-Of-Service Open Threat Signaling, Siva Kondala Rao Mandalapu, Vivek Sinha, Ram Mohan R

Defensive Publications Series

Proposed herein is an integrated, intelligence-driven architecture and system for detecting and mitigating multi-vector distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks by unifying telemetry, zero-trust identity signals, machine-learning prediction, and DDoS Open Threat Signaling (DOTS)-based inter-domain coordination. Unlike conventional solutions that analyze traffic in isolation, the proposed architecture correlates identity context with multi-layer traffic behavior and adapts through a federated learning feedback loop to mitigate DDoS threats or attacks. The resulting approach provides a proactive, accurate, and collaboratively orchestrated defense that can respond to evolving DDoS threats in real time.

Mitigation Of Configuration Race Conditions Via Atomic Policy Application, N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A

Defensive Publications Series

When multiple data loss prevention policies are evaluated sequentially in video conferencing platforms, race conditions and transient configuration states can be introduced. Such sequential applications create brief windows of vulnerability, potentially allowing unauthorized chat access or malicious links before subsequent policies are enforced. Additionally, sequential updates can cause visible flickering in user interface controls. To address these limitations, a method is disclosed wherein policy processing utilizes a single atomic application of a final state. This final state is determined from accumulated settings after all applicable policies are fully processed. Consequently, at most one value is assigned to each setting prior …

Restoring A Communication Device To Normal Operation Using An Embedded Controller Watchdog To Mitigate Processor Hangs, N/A

Defensive Publications Series

Permanently deployed communication devices are susceptible to application processor hangs and crashes. Because these devices operate unattended in restricted locations, manual remediation is difficult and prolonged downtime is experienced. To address this limitation, auxiliary controller circuitry is utilized to provide independent self-remediation. A watchdog function is executed by an embedded controller to monitor heartbeat signals transmitted by the application processor at regular intervals. If a specified number of expected heartbeats fail to be received, a missing heartbeat condition is detected. Parts of the device, or the entire device, are subsequently power-cycled by the embedded controller. The primary purpose of this …

Three Pathogen-Reduction Strategies For Ambient-Temperature Dried Red Blood Cells: An Efficacy–Cost Decision Framework For Resource-Limited Settings, Chaiyapat Chuenglertsiri, Pattrick Chen Jun 2026

Three Pathogen-Reduction Strategies For Ambient-Temperature Dried Red Blood Cells: An Efficacy–Cost Decision Framework For Resource-Limited Settings, Chaiyapat Chuenglertsiri, Pattrick Chen

Defensive Publications Series

This conceptual analysis discloses, as defensive prior art (CC BY 4.0), an efficacy-cost decision framework for ensuring pathogen safety of ambient-temperature dried red blood cells (RBCs) produced where laboratory donor screening is incomplete and transfusion-transmitted-infection burden is high. No experimental potency, recovery, or inactivation data are generated; every value is a cited literature anchor or labelled estimate. An earlier version over-stated riboflavin-UV efficacy by quoting plasma/platelet log-reductions for red cells; this is corrected, as haemoglobin attenuates UV and lowers whole-blood efficacy (SARS-CoV-2 about 3.3 log in whole blood vs about 4.8 in plasma; Ragan et al. 2020). The problem is …


Ambient-Temperature Red Blood Cell Preservation By Intracellular Trehalose Vitrification And Supercritical-Co₂ Drying With Food-Grade Bacteriostatic Excipients: A Conceptual Framework, Chaiyapat Chuenglertsiri, Pattrick Chen Jun 2026

Ambient-Temperature Red Blood Cell Preservation By Intracellular Trehalose Vitrification And Supercritical-Co₂ Drying With Food-Grade Bacteriostatic Excipients: A Conceptual Framework, Chaiyapat Chuenglertsiri, Pattrick Chen

Defensive Publications Series

This conceptual framework discloses, as defensive prior art (CC BY 4.0), a multi-component system for ambient-temperature dried red blood cells (RBCs) that would remove the 1-6 C cold chain and 42-day shelf life constraining transfusion in remote and tropical settings. No experimental recovery, haemolysis, or stability data are generated; every quantitative statement is a cited literature anchor. The system combines (i) intracellular trehalose loading as a vitrification agent, e.g. by transient electroporation (Chen Y 2006); (ii) supercritical-CO2 (scCO2) drying as a surface-tension-free dehydration step, explicitly not a pathogen-inactivation or cell-disruption step; (iii) food-grade bacteriostatic excipients (epsilon-poly-L-lysine, rosmarinic, citric and ascorbic …

Enteral, Intravenous, And Haemoglobin-Based Oxygen Carriers: A Capacity–Safety Decision Framework For Settings Without Compatible Blood, Chaiyapat Chuenglertsiri, Pattrick Chen

Defensive Publications Series

This conceptual analysis discloses, as defensive prior art (CC BY 4.0), a capacity-safety-cost decision framework for delivering oxygen-carrying support where compatible allogeneic blood is unavailable (trauma, remote/military, mass-casualty, rare blood phenotypes). No experimental data are generated; all scores are relative, literature-informed estimates. An earlier version proposed oral perfluorocarbon (PFC) as a systemic oxygen supplement; that claim is quantitatively implausible and is withdrawn here. The framework instead compares three oxygen-carrier modalities: (A) enteral PFC oxygenation, for which oxygenated perfluorochemical delivered to the gut lumen has been shown to ameliorate respiratory failure in mammals (Okabe et al., Med 2021); (B) intravenous PFC …

Each layer has a single responsibility, defined interfaces to adjacent layers, and a …


Safety Affirmity™ Protocol — Continuous Active Safety State Broadcast For Ai Robots, Edward D. H. Wang Jun 2026

Safety Affirmity™ Protocol — Continuous Active Safety State Broadcast For Ai Robots, Edward D. H. Wang

Defensive Publications Series

Field: Robot safety systems; hardware compatibility standards; AI robot architecture

Problem Solved: Existing robot safety systems treat safety as a passive hardware state — a switch, a boundary, a stop condition. No prior standard defines safety as an actively and continuously re-verified, machine-readable broadcast layer integrated into a hardware compatibility stack. In multi-robot and human-adjacent environments, passive safety is insufficient: a robot that has not actively affirmed its safety state in the last 100 milliseconds cannot be trusted to be safe.

Disclosure Summary: Safety Affirmity™ is Layer 4 of the RPnP™ seven-layer compatibility stack. It defines an affirmative, continuously re-verified …

Deep Q Network For Adaptive Pelican Crossing Signal Optimization Balancing Pedestrian Safety And Vehicular Efficiency, Amalia Yasmin Chairunnisa, Andyka Kusuma, Jachrizal R. Sumabrata

Smart City

Static pelican crossing systems often fail to accommodate the stochastic arrival patterns prevalent in high-density transit-oriented development (TOD) zones, creating operational inefficiencies between pedestrian clearance and vehicular flow. At the Cikini Station transit hub in Jakarta, existing fixed signal cycles contribute to pedestrian delays and peak-hour congestion. This study evaluates an adaptive signal control model for mid-block pelican crossings using a Deep Q-Network (DQN) algorithm. To calibrate the simulation, empirical data were extracted from field CCTV footage using the YOLOv8 algorithm, accurately capturing 15-minute peak flow fluctuations and commuter surges. The system is formulated as a Markov Decision Process (MDP) …

Development Of An Adaptive Pelican Crossing Model Using Fuzzy Logic In Mixed Traffic Conditions, Manazil Adam, Andyka Kusuma, R. Jachrizal Sumabrata

Smart City

Traffic management at at-grade pedestrian crossing facilities (pelican crossings) in highly populated areas, such as the Universitas Indonesia Station, faces significant inefficiency challenges. During peak hours, the fixed-time system is frequently disabled and replaced with subjective manual control by security personnel, thereby triggering irregular stop-and-go cycles and a high accumulation of vehicle delays. This study aims to develop a hybrid adaptive control model integrating Computer Vision, Genetic Algorithm (GA), and Fuzzy Logic to optimize intersection performance under mixed traffic conditions. The research methodology begins with the extraction of traffic and pedestrian characteristic data, calculated manually through recorded field observations. This …

Spatial Tax Intelligence: Implementing Integrated Spatial Decision Support Systems For Smart Urban Governance, Wildan R. Irfana, Haldis A. Bahar, Muhammad H. Candra

Smart City

The transition toward smart governance requires local governments to adopt data-driven policy approaches, particularly in managing urban tax capacity. However, tax administration in many developing regions remains predominantly tabular and administrative, limiting the ability to capture the spatial dynamics of economic activities. This reveals a critical knowledge gap, as integrated frameworks combining spatial and tax data to identify geographic disparities in tax performance remain limited. Consequently, areas with high economic activity but low tax compliance, referred to as tax blind spots, often remain undetected. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of integrating spatial and tax data in identifying spatial-tax …


Kernelizing Protein Interaction Languages: Spectral Approximations And Random Fourier Features, Aishik Ghosh Jun 2026

Kernelizing Protein Interaction Languages: Spectral Approximations And Random Fourier Features, Aishik Ghosh

Master’s Dissertations

Protein-peptide interactions play an important role in many biological phenomena, spanning adaptive immunity to disease pathology. In the Sliding Window Interaction Grammar (SWING) framework, interactions are represented as sequences of biochemical tokens embedded using Doc2Vec, allowing robust generalisation to unobserved MHC alleles. However, classification remains limited to a single Euclidean feature space that is incapable of resolving binding landscapes. This dissertation develops SWING for four distinct kernel types: Gaussian, Laplacian, anisotropic (ARD), and the Spectral Mixture (SM) kernel, each approximated using scalable Random Fourier Features. The SM kernel incorporates prior knowledge about secondary structure into its spectral density as biological …
