Publication number: 20240094753Abstract: A low-dropout (LDO) regulator circuit with dynamic transitioning between first and second operation modes. The LDO regulator circuit includes an operational amplifier with a first input connected to a reference voltage, a feedback circuit connected between a second input of the operational amplifier and an output of the LDO regulator circuit, and a pass transistor selectively coupled to the feedback circuit and an output of the operational amplifier via a set switches controlled by a switch mode enable signal. The LDO regulator circuit transitions between the first and second operation modes responsive to one or more changes of the switch mode enable signal. In the first operation mode, a load voltage at the output of the LDO regulator circuit has a first voltage value that depends on the reference voltage. In the second operation mode, the load voltage has a second voltage value independent from the reference voltage.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Gaurav Sharma, Nathan F.

Patent number: 11928202Abstract: Our Names in physical and real world have transformed into ‘username’s in virtual digital world. Anything that we need to access in digital world asks us for a ‘username’, which can be user selected (like an e-mail address) or provided to a user (like an employee ID/Number). This ‘username’ has indeed become a SuperName, giving access to restricted areas, based on privileges, links to other services as well. So, to a cybercriminal, if a ‘username; is known, more than half the job is done. And once corresponding password is cracked, the whole digital identity lies threadbare. Damages done through transactions of such unauthorized access may get quantified, but dent to privacy is far more damaging.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: CertiSafe Private LimitedInventor: Gaurav Sharma

Patent number: 11928346Abstract: An approach for optimizing storage on a local storage device. The approach identifies a stored or being stored on a user's local storage device. The approach extracts metadata from the media file. The approach searches the user-associated storage locations for a matching media file based on the metadata. If the approach locates the matching media file, then the approach, using artificial intelligence (AI), predicts if the local device storage should be optimized for the media file, then the approach, using AI, stores a link to the matching media file on the local device storage and removes the media file from the local device storage.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Raghuveer Prasad Nagar, Harshit Sharma, Jagadesh Ramaswamy Hulugundi, Gaurav Mahesh Pandit

Patent number: 11893358Abstract: For a seamless and robust artificial intelligence-based assistant experience, an intent-based query and response router has been designed to operate as an intelligent layer between a user and multiple backend services that may respond to one or more queries over the course of a conversation with the user. The query router interacts with an intent classification service to obtain an intent classification for a prompt that is based on a user query. The query router uses the intent classification, which is used as an identifier of a backend service, to route the user query to an appropriate one (or more) of the backend services. When a response is detected, the query router determines a corresponding conversation and provides the response for the conversation.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2023Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Palo Alto Networks, Inc.Inventors: Ramanathan Lakshmikanthan, Sameer Dilip Merchant, Gaurav Sharma
