Patent number: 11936567Abstract: A method is provided for dynamic rate limiting of user requests for a service implemented in a computer system. The method includes defining a standard rate limit as an active rate limit for a first user, receiving one or more requests from the first user defining a rate exceeding the active rate limit, and determining a maximum safe system rate for a system implementing the method. The method may then redefine the active rate limit as the lower of the maximum safe system rate and a previously defined burst rate limit associated with the first user. The system may then execute the one or more requests from the first user at or below the redefined active rate limit.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: SaaS.group LLCInventors: Zoltan Bettenbuk, Ian Kenneth Williams

Patent number: 11936523Abstract: A method of provisioning a network may include, with a network controller, identifying a first network intent of a computing network based at least in part on an execution of a user interface (UI) or API layer at a client device, and identifying a modification of at least one object within the first network intent within the UI or API layer at the client device as the first network intent is being modified. The modification defines a delta between the first network intent and a second network intent. The method may further include, with a provisioning service executed by the network controller, receiving the delta as a payload from the client device, and provisioning at least one computing device within the computing network based at least in part on the delta. The method further includes automatically modifying the at least one object based on the received delta, including a further modification of the second network intent.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Ankur Bhargava, Gavin Llewellyn Camp, Anand Krishnamurthy, Kenneth William Chambers

Publication number: 20240081759Abstract: An apparatus and method for medical imaging uses a first and second contrast agent, the second agent targeted to a particular tissue type. First images are obtained using the first agent, and second images using the second agent using medical imaging systems. An image processing system is adapted to process the first and second medical images by fitting parameters of a pharmacokinetic model to the first medical images, identifying a nontargeted tissue type, scaling the fitted parameters to best match the nontargeted tissue in the second medical images, executing the pharmacokinetic model to prepare a correction image, and generating corrected medical images by subtracting the correction image from the second medical images.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Kenneth M.

Patent number: 11928128Abstract: A system for maintaining a meta-database including meta-data representing decentralized data from source databases, which cause inefficient selection of modeling data and/or variables. Each of source and meta-data interfaces communicate with the respective database(s). A key variable repository module operably couples the databases and includes an AI program with a scanner algorithm and a profiler algorithm. The scanner algorithm receives the source data from the source interface, compresses the data, and synchronizes the data with the meta-data using the meta-database interface. The profiler algorithm receives the meta-data from the meta-database interface, generates granular data types for the meta-data, determines variables indicative of the meta-data, generates variable probability distributions, produces variable associations, and modifies the meta-database to include the probability distributions and associations using the meta-data interface.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Truist BankInventors: Peter Councill, Kenneth William Cluff, Glenn Thomas Nofsinger, James Xu, Qing Li
