Title: Computer-implemented methods of evaluating task networks
Inventor: ROBERTO VINCENZO DESIMONE
IPC: G06Q10/06
Filed: 2017-12-20
Abstract: A task network (e.g. a hierarchical task network – HTN) includes primitive tasks which represent actions, compound tasks which represent a plurality of tasks, goal tasks which represent desired goals, and one or more constraints associated with the tasks of the task network. A computer-implemented method of evaluating such a task network comprises the steps of providing a library of network fragments, each comprising a plurality of tasks and associated constraints, and a plurality of fragments have an associated abnormality level, matching network fragments with a plurality of tasks and associated constraints of the network, and determining an abnormality score for the task network using the abnormality levels associated with matching network fragments. The normality score for the network may be determined using the count of matching fragments with an associated abnormality level, or the number of matching fragments with an associated abnormality level that comprise a particular task. The method can be used to detect fraudulent activity (e.g. money laundering) in financial transactions.

Title: Elapsed time temperature indicator and method of activation
Inventor: EREZ MAGEN
IPC: G09F3/02
Filed: 2018-01-29
Abstract: A time temperature indicator 10 for measuring elapsed time after reaching a threshold temperature includes a rupturable reservoir 12 containing an indicator fluid that may be solid below the threshold temperature and that liquefies above the threshold temperature. Activation enables a flow of liquid from the reservoir to reach a migration medium 13 so that when the temperature of the indicator exceeds the threshold temperature after activation, liquid migrates through the migration medium producing a colour change therein. A narrow passage 17 is foldable along and parallel to a longitudinal axis thereof so as to form a barrier to liquid migration when the passage is folded while permitting liquid migration through the passage when the passage is unfolded. A micro-fluid valve may be likewise constructed for regulating a flow of liquid between an inlet and an outlet coupled by a narrow passage foldable along and parallel to a longitudinal axis thereof. The reservoir may be fluidly separated from the narrow passage prior to activation by a release layer 19 which partially overlaps the reservoir. The release layer operates as a weak seal that becomes dislodged by applying pressure to the reservoir thereby activating the device. A method of activation comprises folding the laminate downstream of the reservoir to prevent migration of liquid through the narrow passage upon activation; rupturing the weak seal at a temperature that exceeds the melting point of the indicator fluid; keeping the folded end folded prior to actual usage. The indicator comprises a retaining element / clip 25.

Title: System and method utilizing detected load for vehicle handling
Inventor: ERIC A MATOY
IPC: B62D37/02
Filed: 2016-03-14
Abstract: A driving stability control system obtains an overall load acting on a vehicle, vehicle information 32 including yaw, steering and speed, and through a behaviour controller 22 sends signals to actuators 42 for aerodynamic components 43 and a suspension system38 to reduce a tendency of oversteer or understeer. Preferably, load sensors utilise components of the vehicle suspension system, or the sensors are embedded in each tyre of the vehicle. If the controller predicts oversteer, the aerodynamic component actuators may increase aerodynamic load on the vehicle rear, or decrease load on the vehicle front, or the suspension actuators may increase roll stiffness at the vehicle front, or decrease roll stiffness at the rear. If the controller predicts understeer, the aerodynamic component actuators may increase aerodynamic load on the vehicle front, or decrease load on the vehicle rear, or the suspension actuators may increase roll stiffness at the vehicle rear, or decrease roll stiffness at the front.
