Summary
Ring, founded by Jamie Simonoff, is a company that provides security cameras, including automated license plate reader systems and drones, aimed at crime reduction and improving public safety. These technologies integrate with 911 systems and are utilized by law enforcement in various regions. Ring's approach is contrasted with Flock Safety, a competitor that has faced a public relations crisis and customer churn due to backlash from activists and public criticism. While Flock Safety avoids facial recognition and limits AI to prevent predictive policing, Ring's deployment of similar technologies raises questions about privacy versus safety, police misuse, and data retention policies. The debate also touches upon socioeconomic privilege, as wealthy citizens can afford private security like gated communities, while the broader public relies on municipal technological solutions for security.

Ring LLC is a manufacturer of home security and smart home devices owned by Amazon "Amazon (company)"). It manufactures a line of Ring smart doorbells, home security cameras, and alarm systems. It also operates Neighbors "Neighbors (app)"), a social network that allows users to discuss local safety and security issues, and share footage captured with Ring products. Via Neighbors, Ring provides footage and data to law enforcement agencies to assist in investigations. The company was founded in autumn 2013 by Jamie Siminoff as the crowdfunded startup Doorbot; it was renamed Ring in autumn 2014, after which it began to receive equity investments. It was acquired by Amazon in 2018 for approximately $1.15 billion. [...] Neighbors is a hyperlocal social networking app launched by Ring in 2018. Described as being akin to a neighborhood watch, it allows users to crowdsource information on and discuss safety and security concerns in their area. The service allows users to share footage captured from Ring products. All user posts are anonymous and do not include specific location information, and are moderated to remove off-topic content (in contrast to services such as Nextdoor). Ring also has partnerships with local police departments in some cities to incorporate Neighbors into their crime monitoring processes, who are able to make official posts for distribution on the service. Ring has credited the service with having helped to solve crimes, and noted that activity on the service surged in areas of [...] In September 2022, Amazon-owned MGM Television launched a syndicated television series co-branded with Ring, Ring Nation, which highlights viral videos recorded using phones, home security cameras, and smart doorbells. Despite its title, the series is not exclusive to footage captured with Ring products. In March 2023, Ring founder Jamie Siminoff stepped down as CEO to become "Chief Inventor". He was replaced by Elizabeth Hamren, a former executive at Discord, Oculus, and Xbox.

is the band of the ring that encircles the finger. It is the metal part that forms the ring itself, excluding the setting; The shoulders are the upper sides of the ring shank that rise to meet the setting (or head). They serve as the transition point between the band and the main gemstone. Shoulders are often thickened, raised, or decorated to provide structural support for the setting and to integrate the head visually with the shank; The head (also known as setting) sits atop the shank and physically holds the gemstone. It might includes the prongs (claws), bezel, collet, or gallery wire that secures the stone; [...] | Guard ring (a.k.a. ring-guard) | A slender, slightly tighter-fitting ring designed to be placed on the finger after a large/loose ring, to prevent slippage and ring loss. | | Iron Ring, and Engineer's Ring | Ring worn by American and Canadian engineers, after swearing the Engineer's Oath. This is often in the form of a crudely worked piece of iron; modern rings tend to be sleek steel, some with etched geometric designs. The ring is meant to be worn on the pinky (little) finger of the dominant hand at all times. This ring has been loosely associated with Rudyard Kipling. | [...] | Sewing ring | An early form of thimble | | Signet ring | | An emblematic ring, often bearing a family coat of arms, some of which are fit for use to imprint a wax seal "Seal (emblem)"). In the event a seal or at least a representation of a seal is on the ring, it is called a "seal "Seal (emblem)") ring". The signet may bear anything from a custom-designed escutcheon "Escutcheon (heraldry)") to simple initials, in which case it is known as an initial ring. | | Sovereign ring | A large solid gold ring set with a gold sovereign.[citation needed] |
- Ring -- from Wolfram MathWorld
# Ring DOWNLOAD Mathematica NotebookDownload Wolfram Notebook A ring in the mathematical sense is a set S together with two binary operators + and (commonly interpreted as addition and multiplication, respectively) satisfying the following conditions: 1. Additive associativity: For all a,b,c in S, (a+b)+c=a+(b+c), 2. Additive commutativity: For all a,b in S, a+b=b+a, 3. Additive identity: There exists an element 0 in S such that for all a in S, 0+a=a+0=a, 4. Additive inverse: For every a in S there exists -a in S such that a+(-a)=(-a)+a=0, 5. Left and right distributivity: For all a,b,c in S, a(b+c)=(ab)+(ac) and (b+c)a=(ba)+(ca), 6. Multiplicative associativity: For all a,b,c in S, (ab)c=a(bc) (a ring satisfying this property is sometimes explicitly termed an associative ring). [...] 2. Without multiplicative commutativity: Real-valued 2×2 matrices, quaternions, 3. Without multiplicative identity: Even-valued integers, 4. Without multiplicative inverse: integers. The word ring is short for the German word 'Zahlring' (number ring). The French word for a ring is anneau, and the modern German word is Ring, both meaning (not so surprisingly) "ring." Fraenkel (1914) gave the first abstract definition of the ring, although this work did not have much impact. The term was introduced by Hilbert to describe rings like [...] A ring that is commutative under multiplication, has a unit element, and has no divisors of zero is called an integral domain. A ring whose nonzero elements form a commutative multiplication group is called a field. The simplest rings are the integers Z, polynomials ![R[x]](/images/equations/Ring/Inline48.svg) and ![R[x,y]](/images/equations/Ring/Inline49.svg) in one and two variables, and square n×n real matrices. Rings which have been investigated and found to be of interest are usually named after one or more of their investigators. This practice unfortunately leads to names which give very little insight into the relevant properties of the associated rings. Renteln and Dundes (2005) give the following (bad) mathematical joke about rings:
- Ring (mathematics) - Wikipedia
For any ring R and any natural number n, the set of all square n-by-n matrices "Matrix (mathematics)") with entries from R, forms a ring with matrix addition and matrix multiplication as operations. For n = 1, this matrix ring is isomorphic to R itself. For n > 1 (and R not the zero ring), this matrix ring is noncommutative. If G is an abelian group, then the endomorphisms of G form a ring, the endomorphism ring End(G) of G. The operations in this ring are addition and composition of endomorphisms. More generally, if V is a left module over a ring R, then the set of all R-linear maps forms a ring, also called the endomorphism ring and denoted by EndR(V). [...] A division ring is a ring such that every non-zero element is a unit. A commutative division ring is a field "Field (mathematics)"). A prominent example of a division ring that is not a field is the ring of quaternions. Any centralizer in a division ring is also a division ring. In particular, the center of a division ring is a field. It turned out that every finite domain (in particular finite division ring) is a field; in particular commutative (the Wedderburn's little theorem). Every module over a division ring is a free module (has a basis); consequently, much of linear algebra can be carried out over a division ring instead of a field. The study of conjugacy classes figures prominently in the classical theory of division rings; see, for example, the Cartan–Brauer–Hua theorem. [...] The endomorphism ring of an elliptic curve. It is a commutative ring if the elliptic curve is defined over a field of characteristic zero. If G is a group "Group (mathematics)") and R is a ring, the group ring of G over R is a free module over R having G as basis. Multiplication is defined by the rules that the elements of G commute with the elements of R and multiply together as they do in the group G. The ring of differential operators (depending on the context). In fact, many rings that appear in analysis are noncommutative. For example, most Banach algebras are noncommutative.
