Disclosed is a system for detecting a water leak, the system including: a sensor that can generate sensor signals and a computer system that can receive and process the sensor signals to detect a water leak. In response to detecting the leak, the computer system can send a state change command to a valve control device, which can be configured to change a state of a solenoid valve according to the state change command. In response to detecting the leak, the computer system can transmit information to a mobile device over a communication network, the information including (i) an indication of the state change command and/or (ii) an indication that the water leak was detected. The mobile device can present the transmitted information in a graphical user interface (GUI), present a selectable option, and receive a user selection of the selectable option, which causes an action to be performed.

In one implementation, a computer-implemented method includes receiving, at a computer system, information that indicates that a fire has been detected in a building and that a fire suppression system within the building has begun dousing the fire; monitoring sensor information from one or more sensors located within the building; determining, by the computer system and based on the sensor information, whether the fire has been extinguished; activating, in response to determining that the fire has been extinguished, a feature to turn off a water supply to the building, the feature being presented on a computing device for a user who is associated with the building; receiving, after activating the feature and from the computing device, a command to turn off the water supply; and transmitting, by the computer system, a control signal that causes an electromechanical device to close a water valve within the building.

Remote control of water supply systems

Disclosed are systems and methods for remotely controlling and monitoring water supply systems in buildings. A system can include a sensor to continuously detect building conditions, an electromechanical device to control a water valve located along a water supply for the building, a user computing device to display information about the building conditions, and a computer system to: continuously receive building condition information from the sensor, determine, based on the information, that an emergency has been detected, generate and transmit first instructions that cause the electromechanical device to turn off the water valve, generate and transmit second instructions that cause the user computing device to present information about the emergency in a graphical user interface (GUI) display, receive user input to control the electromechanical device, and generate and return third instructions to control the electromechanical device based on the user input and/or the continuously received sensor information.

A system and method for data curation, which enables multimedia content, such as social media postings, to be analyzed automatically and accurately.

System and method for quality assurance of media analysis

Embodiments disclose a method for automatic summarization of content. The method includes accessing a plurality of stories from a plurality of data sources for a predefined time. Each story is associated with a media item. The method includes plotting the plurality of stories over the predefined time for determining one or more peaks and extracting a set of stories from the one or more peaks. The method includes detecting one or more themes from the set of stories using LDA algorithm. Each theme is associated with a group of stories. The method further includes determining at least one subset of stories for each theme from the group of stories representing the set of stories in the one or more peaks using RBM algorithm. The method includes generating a summarized content for each user based on an associated user profile and the at least one subset of stories.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for identifying issues in a building. In one aspect, a method includes receiving information describing an issue with a building, accessing data that identifies (i) a plurality of components that are included in the building and (ii) features of the plurality of components, identifying one or more candidate components that have at least a threshold likelihood of being a cause of the issue, and performing some action in response to remedy the issue. For example, the method can include selecting a candidate service provider from among a plurality of service providers based on a comparison of (i) the one or more candidate components and (ii) information identifying technical qualifications for the plurality of service providers, transmitting a service request for the issue to the candidate service provider, receiving a response from the candidate service provider, and scheduling, based on the response, a service appointment.

Managing building information and resolving building issues

Techniques for anomaly detection within a group of hosts are described. As one example, a computer-implemented method includes performing a single, distributed task with a plurality of hosts, sending, by each host of the plurality of hosts, processing utilization data for a period of time to an anomaly detector, generating a Fourier component vector for each host that comprises a Fourier component value in each element from the processing utilization data of that host with the anomaly detector, generating a mean value vector that comprises a mean value for each element position of the Fourier component vectors in a respective element position of the mean value vector with the anomaly detector, generating a standard deviation vector that comprises a standard deviation for each element position of the Fourier component vectors in a respective element position of the standard deviation vector with the anomaly detector, generating a host standard deviation vector for each host that comprises a deviation of each element of the Fourier component vector of that host from a respective element of the mean value vector by a number of standard deviations read from a respective element of the standard deviation vector with the anomaly detector, determining, with the anomaly detector, an anomalous host of the plurality of hosts from the host standard deviation vectors when at least one threshold is exceeded in the host standard deviation vectors, and causing an indication for the anomalous host to be sent by the anomaly detector.

A magnetic ski management device encases and immobilizes a pair of skis while incorporating a magnetic implement attracting the device/ski combination to ferromagnetic surfaces. The ski management device of the present invention joins and secures a pair of skis together having a magnetic implement (device) aligned with but offset from the juncture between the skis establishing a magnetic attractive force between the ski management device, including the associated skis, and any ferromagnetic surface.

A system and method for performing non-graphical algorithm calculations on a GPU (graphics processing unit), by adapting the non-graphical algorithm to be executed according to the texture mapping calculation functions of the GPU, for example within the Web Browser environment. The non-graphical algorithm preferably relates to comparison of a plurality of data points. Each data point may relate to any unit of information, including but not limited to a document (for a document comparison algorithm), information about movements of a unit (for a collision detection algorithm), determination of interactions between two more nodes on a graph, such as for example and without limitation, determining such interactions in a social media channel.
