  • Patent number: 11086644
    Abstract: Interface and mode selection for digital action execution is provided. For example, a system loads a script library embedded in an electronic resource. The system determines a historic level of engagement between a client computing device and one or more digital assistants. The system selects, based on a first property of the client computing device and the historic level of engagement, a type of digital interface. The system generates, based on the type of digital interface, a digital interface with the call-to-action. The system determines, responsive to an instruction to execute the call-to-action, a mode of execution. The system selects a digital assistant and a second client device to execute the call-to-action. The system transmits the call-to-action to the second client device for execution.

  • Patent number: 11086959
    Abstract: Secure digital assistant integration with web pages is provided. The system receives an intent manifest data structure that maps actions of a digital assistant with link templates of an electronic resource developed by a third-party developer device. The system validates the electronic resource based on the intent manifest data structure. The system receives, from a data exchange component of an iframe of the electronic resource loaded by a client computing device, an identifier of the client computing device. The system receives a foreground state of the electronic resource from an onsite state sharing API. The system selects a data value for a parameter based on the foreground state and the intent manifest data structure. The system provides the data value. An authorization component generates an authorization prompt, receives input, and transmits the data value to an onsite intent execution API of the electronic resource to execute an action.

  • Publication number: 20210235262
    Abstract: Secure communication in mobile digital pages is provided. The system receives an electronic document and validates the electronic document for storage in a cache server. The system receives a request for the electronic document and provides it to a viewer component on a client computing device. The viewer component loads the electronic document in an iframe. The viewer component executes a runtime component to receive, via a secure communication channel, a tag from the electronic document. The system receives the tag and selects a data value for transmission to the viewer component. The viewer components provides the data value to cause the runtime component to execute an action with the data value.

  • Patent number: 10190197
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are new face-centered cubic (f.c.c.) high-entropy alloys with compositions (in atomic %) of FeaNibMncAldCreCf where a is between 37-43 atomic %, b is between 8-14 atomic %, c is between 32-38 atomic %, d is 4.5-10.5 atomic %, e is between 2.5-9 atomic % and f is between 0-2 atomic %. The undoped alloy has strength of 159 MPa and 40% elongation to failure, but the doped, carbon-containing alloy having 1.1 atomic percent carbon has yield strength of 360 MPa, an ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of 1200 MPa and 50% elongation to failure at room temperature. At 700° C., the yield strength is 214 MPa with 24% elongation to failure. Thus, the present alloy may replace austenitic stainless steels in applications where better strength is needed at both room temperature and elevated temperature in an oxidation resistant alloy.

  • Publication number: 20170119575
    Abstract: A system for heating tissue in a subject, has an alternating current (AC) source coupled to a coil; a magnetically permeable passive magnetic concentrator, and positioned to alter an intensity distribution of the field;. The system has a processor with a computer model of coil and concentrator, the memory with code for simulating magnetic fields and configured to generate an intensity map describing the intensity distribution of the AC magnetic field. A method of providing an alternating current (AC) magnetic field to magnetic nanoparticles includes: providing a source of alternating current coupled to a coil; positioning the coil in a vicinity of the nanoparticles; positioning a passive concentrator near the nanoparticles; and energizing the coil to generate the AC field, the field shaped by the concentrator and heats the nanoparticles. A particular embodiment simulates the magnetic field and compares the field to parameters to verify adequate heating of the nanoparticles.

  • Patent number: 9572510
    Abstract: This invention provides a system and method that improves the sensitivity and localization capabilities of Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) by using combinations of time-varying and static magnetic fields. Combinations of magnetic fields can be used to distribute the signals coming from the magnetic particles among the harmonics and other frequencies in specific ways to improve sensitivity and to provide localization information to speed up or improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of imaging and/or eliminate the need for saturation fields currently used in MPI. In various embodiments, coils can be provided to extend the sub-saturation region in which nanoparticles reside; to provide a static field offset to bring nanoparticles nearer to saturation; to introduce even and odd harmonics that can be observed; and/or to introduce combinations of frequencies for more-defined observation of signals from nanoparticles.

  • Patent number: 8444045
    Abstract: A method of joining at least two parts includes steps of dispersing a joining material comprising a multi-phase magnetic metal-aluminum powder at an interface between the at least two parts to be joined and applying an alternating magnetic field (AMF). The AMF has a magnetic field strength and frequency suitable for inducing magnetic hysteresis losses in the metal-aluminum powder and is applied for a period that raises temperature of the metal-aluminum powder to an exothermic transformation temperature. At the exothermic transformation temperature, the metal-aluminum powder melts and resolidifies as a metal aluminide solid having a non-magnetic configuration.
