  • Patent number: 11989793
    Abstract: Computerized system and method of obtaining and analyzing data on how large numbers of real estate visitors view and interact with real estate property. The system, which optimally will operate during real-world real estate tours, may utilize data from either property associated sensors or user mobile device sensors (e.g., smartphone sensors) to obtain and aggregate visitor position and/or orientation data with respect to various designated locations of interest on the property. This can be used to produce statistics on visitor positions and/or orientations with respect to such locations. The resulting data can be used for various purposes, including as input to LLM AI systems for automated real estate recommendations and information about various real estate features associated with below or above-average visitor interest or approval. Various methods to encourage use, such as self-guided real-world tours, virtual staging, and virtual goods and services, are also discussed.

  • Patent number: 11972364
    Abstract: A system of one or more computers can be configured to facilitate the design of a service. The disclosed system may operate to add a process block to a service design structure for the service. The process block is provided to a trained AI/ML process prediction model. The trained AI/ML process prediction model suggests one or more further process blocks for addition to the service design structure based, at least in part, on the addition of the process block to the service design structure. In certain embodiments, a process block is selected from the suggested one or more further process blocks and added to the service design structure. Other embodiments of this aspect of the disclosure include corresponding computer systems, apparatus, and computer programs recorded on one or more computer storage devices, each configured to perform the actions of the methods.

  • Patent number: 11959847
    Abstract: Systems and methods taught herein advantageously provide extended dynamic range capabilities to detect low intensity and high intensity emitted or scattered light from particles at high speeds with high sensitivity. Independently controlled first and second optical detector elements that handle light intensities in different dynamic ranges, large overall dynamic range is created. Signals from the detector elements can be combined to create a single combined signal that has excellent sensitivity over a large dynamic range. The detector systems and methods taught herein are particularly advantageous in particle processing where the population of particles can emit or scatter light over a large range of intensity values.

  • Patent number: 11954048
    Abstract: An apparatus has memory management circuitry to control access to a memory system based on access control information defined in table entries of a table structure comprising at least two levels of access control table. Table accessing circuitry accesses the table structure to obtain the access control information corresponding to a target address. For a given access control table at a given level of the table structure other than a starting level, the table accessing circuitry selects a selected table entry of the given access control table corresponding to the target address, based on an offset portion of the target address. A size of the offset portion is selected based on a variable nesting control parameter specified in a table entry of a higher-level access control table at a higher level of the table structure than the given access control table.

  • Patent number: 11853227
    Abstract: There is provided a data processing apparatus and method of data processing. The data processing apparatus comprises storage circuitry to store a hierarchy of page tables comprising an intermediate level page table. Each entry of the intermediate level page table comprises base address information of a next level page table and control information indicating whether an addressing function has been applied to reorder physical storage locations of entries of the next level page table. Address translation circuitry is provided to perform address translations in response to receipt of a virtual address by performing a lookup in a next level page table dependent on the base address information and a page table index from the virtual address. When the control information indicates that the addressing function has been applied, the lookup is performed at a modified storage location generated by applying the addressing function to the page table index.

  • Publication number: 20230109295
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods and techniques for controlling memory access in a data processing system are disclosed. The operating data processing system comprises multiple subsystems, each comprising at least one processing element and at least one peripheral device. Memory transaction control circuitry receives memory transaction information of a memory transaction comprising a stream identifier indicative of the issuing peripheral device. A main control register indicates an address of a stream table having multiple entries each comprising an owning subsystem identifier. At least one subsystem control register corresponding to each subsystem of the multiple subsystems stores memory access checking configuration information. On receipt of the memory transaction information an entry of the stream table is selected in dependence on the stream identifier. At least one subsystem control register. corresponding to the subsystem identified by the owning subsystem identifier of the entry is selected.

  • Patent number: 11596759
    Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for controlling a supply of medical gas to a gas delivery system, such as an anesthesia machine, via a medical gas delivery module. In one example, a method includes supplying a medical gas from a pipeline gas supply source to a gas delivery system via a first conduit, measuring a quality of the medical gas in the first conduit, comparing the measured quality to an allowable range, switching to an alternative gas supply source for supplying the medical gas to the gas delivery system and communicating a pipeline gas supply fault in response to the measured quality being outside of the allowable range, and continuing supplying the medical gas to the gas delivery system from the pipeline gas supply source in response to the measured quality being inside of the allowable range.
