Graph-Based System For Nosql Query Authoring, Validation, And Cost Estimation, Leonardo Nigro

Defensive Publications Series

Constructing and optimizing queries for schemaless, document-oriented non-relational (NoSQL) databases can be challenging due to implicit data relationships and opaque cost mechanics. The disclosed techniques describe a system for interactive, graph-based query authoring, validation, and cost estimation. This system can utilize a bidirectional, three-way synchronization engine to link natural language input, a visual graph representation, and executable query code through a canonical intermediate data model. A change made in one modality, for example, manipulating the visual graph or entering a plain-language request, can be translated by the engine to update the other representations. The system may also include a pre-execution …

Steering Mirrors In Follow Spot And Performer-Tracking Systems: A Documented History, 1920–2010, And A Disclosure Of Variants, Michel Honold, Paul Hermann

Defensive Publications Series

This publication documents the history of steering mirrors in follow spot and performer-tracking systems from 1920 to 2010 and discloses variants. A steering mirror (moving mirror, mirror head or mirror attachment) turns the beam of a stationary follow spot or other luminaire, so that only a light, low-inertia part moves: the beam responds faster, lags less behind the performer, moves steadily, and fewer parts move. Dated patents, trade press and manuals trace gimbal-mounted mirrors in front of a spotlight lens operated by hand, cords and motors from 1920; remote mirror follow spots such as the Telescan and the Pan Can; …

A Yolov8x Framework For Breast Lesion Localization Using Real-World Mammographic Images, Hadeel Abdul Majeed Ghazi, Yarub Alazzawi, Hussein Hasan Nsaif

Karbala International Journal of Modern Science

Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality among women worldwide, and early and accurate mammographic assessment is important for timely diagnosis and improved patient survival. However, accurate breast lesion detection requires overcoming the issues of low lesion contrast, dense breast tissue, image noise, and variation in mammographic acquisition. In this study, we present a YOLOv8x-based computer-aided detection framework for automated breast lesion localization in full-field digital mammography (FFDM) and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) images acquired under heterogeneous clinical conditions. The framework was developed and evaluated using 501 clinical mammographic images obtained from multiple mammography systems, namely GE …

An Object-Level Semantic Video Transmission Framework For Iomt Based On Lightweight Yolo And Motion Triggering, Iman Kadhum Abbood, Alaa Shawqi Jaber

Karbala International Journal of Modern Science

In Internet of Multimedia Things (IoMT) environments, video capture and frame transmission consume substantial sensor energy and impose considerable network overhead because of redundant data transmission. Traditional approaches often rely on repeated pixel-level operations and frequent execution of deep segmentation models, thereby increasing computational and transmission costs. This paper proposes an Object-Level Semantic Video Transmission Framework (OSVT) for resource-constrained IoMT environments in which high-definition visual data must be transmitted over low-bandwidth wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs). The proposed OSVT incorporates a dual-stage wake-up mechanism that remains in sleep mode during static scenes, thereby reducing transmission load. The high-power YOLOv11-seg module …

Unified Visual Workflow For Managing The Machine Learning Model Lifecycle In A Data Warehouse, Leonardo Nigro

Defensive Publications Series

The development of machine learning models within data warehouses can present challenges, as it may depend on the manual authoring of complex structured query language (SQL) statements. A disclosed technology relates to a visually-guided workflow for managing the machine learning model lifecycle. A graphical user interface can guide a user through processes such as dataset selection, feature configuration, and model training. A SQL synthesizer layer can translate these visual inputs into executable SQL statements. A model definition registry can also store persistent, versioned blueprints of a model's configuration as shareable resources. This approach may simplify the end-to-end process of model …

K17 Addendum 2: Escrow Top-Up On The State-Advancing Cycle And A Third-Party Funder Protocol For A Utxo-Chained Stack Machine, Jerry D. Chan

Defensive Publications Series

This second addendum to the K17 disclosure (Technical Disclosure Commons, October 20, 2026) describes three mechanisms that let any party add value to a running stack machine whose suspended process lives in one unspent transaction output. First, an escrow top-up on the state-advancing cycle: the cycle method takes a topUp argument, the next machine output holds value minus reward minus payout plus topUp, pinned by the output hash, and extra inputs from any party pay for it; a cycle that produces no next state (HALT, any fault, the dead-man halt, an unaffordable payout) must carry a zero top-up, so a …

Multi-Substrate-Coupled Consensus For Safe And Cost-Efficient Multi-Agent Remediation, Joe Leblanc

Defensive Publications Series

Managed distributed systems increasingly rely on artificial intelligence (AI) agents to remediate faults and configuration drift, but fully autonomous remediation can create significant operational risk, while requiring extensive human oversight or full-capability inference for every incident does not scale efficiently. A joint-coupled multi-agent remediation architecture is proposed herein in which a single dependency-graph-derived impact score, computed once per candidate remediation action, jointly drives consensus weighting and adaptive quorum, cryptographic and attestation posture, dissent-preserving memory engagement, and per-agent AI inference-resource allocation. A fifth substrate, substrate-observable behavioral trust, is jointly consumed by the four action-governing substrates. Structural invariants align consensus and cryptographic …

Predictive Key-Value Cache Prefilling And Loop Recovery For Multi-Model Agent Systems, Rohan Grover, Satish Kondalam, Muninder Sambi, Aman Ahuja

Defensive Publications Series

In multi-model artificial intelligence agent systems, performance may be affected by latency when a task is escalated from a smaller utility model to a larger frontier model, as this can involve recomputing the session’s key-value (KV) cache.  A stateful orchestration gateway can monitor an agent's session to manage context across different models. For example, the gateway can use idle periods, such as during an external tool call, to predictively pre-compute the KV cache for a potential escalation. The gateway can also detect agentic loops, roll back the KV cache to a last known good state, inject a summary of the …

Earning The Right To Act, Volodymyr Kotegov

Defensive Publications Series

Safety Is Designed Before Capability Growth: Boundaries, stop mechanisms, verification criteria, and rules for expanding authority must exist before the system receives the corresponding freedom. “We’ll patch it later” does not work when the consequence is irreversible.

A Claim Is Not Evidence: Neither the developers’ words (“we checked everything”) nor the system’s own words (“I am safe”) count as engineering evidence. Trust is built on a structure of checks that can be independently repeated.

Freedom Grows in Steps, Alongside Verifiability: Autonomy is not a switch but a set of distinct authorities. Each step requires its own basis, and verification depth …

Two-Stage Controller-Agent Architecture For Highthroughput, Scalable, And Secure Data Connections, Joshith Rayaroth Koderi, Rajesh Nataraja, Sapna Joshi

Defensive Publications Series

A two-stage connection-upgrade mechanism is provided for controller-agent architectures. An agent first establishes an authenticated control connection through an application programming interface (API) gateway, which routes the connection to an agent-server instance. The server creates a session key, selects a suitable server node, and instructs the agent to reconnect directly using the selected node's Internet Protocol (IP) address, port, session key, and configuration parameters. After validating the session key, the selected server establishes a direct data connection that bypasses the API gateway and intermediate cluster hops. The mechanism retains gateway-based authentication and load distribution while supporting higher throughput, lower latency, …

Design-Accurate Generative Rendering Of Engineered Structures Into Photographs Of A Real Site, With Verification Against The Design's Own Guide, Matthew Sexstone

Defensive Publications Series

A method and system for producing a photorealistic image of a planned structure — for example a deck, dock, patio, stair, railing, fence, pergola, or building addition — inside a photograph of the actual site, such that the rendered structure matches an engineered design rather than an approximation invented by an image-generation model. Structural geometry comes from a deterministic engineering model; a generative model supplies appearance only; a separate model verifies each render against a guide image derived from the design itself, and the system corrects or regenerates within a bound. Further sub-assemblies may be rendered onto an accepted result …

Data Without Borders, Sovereignty Without Guarantees: Cybersecurity Risks Of Cross-Border Data Hosting In The Global South, Evidence And Policy Lessons From Mozambique, Faztudo Languisse Eng.

Journal of Cybersecurity Education, Research and Practice

The digital transformation of public and private institutions across the Global South has produced a paradox: as states digitize government services, financial systems, and citizen records, an increasing share of this data is hosted on servers physically located in the United States, the European Union, and other developed economies. This article develops a taxonomy of the cybersecurity and sovereignty risks generated by this dependency, distinguishing deliberate risks, arising from extraterritorial legal instruments such as the United States CLOUD Act, foreign surveillance regimes, and a concentrated hyperscale cloud market, from non-deliberate risks, arising from undersea cable failures, hyperscaler outages, misconfiguration, and …
