  • Patent number: 11979537
    Abstract: An embedding component is described which embeds information in a scanned document. The embedding component includes a document acquisition component, which acquires a scanned document from an associated scanning device. An information acquisition component acquires variable information associated with the scanned document. An encoding component generates a machine-readable representation of the variable information. A pattern insertion component uses the machine-readable representation to insert at least one machine readable pattern in the scanned document, to generate a modified document. An output component outputs the modified document to an associated output device, such that when the modified document is rendered on print media, the machine-readable pattern is not noticeable to the unaided eye of a person. A processor implements the document acquisition component, information acquisition component, encoding component, pattern insertion component, and output component.

  • Publication number: 20240095127
    Abstract: The Fleetwide Adaptive Rate Limiting Gatekeeper Apparatuses, Processes and Systems (“FARLG”) transforms API call permission request, API call result request datastructure/inputs via FARLG components into API call permission response, API call result response outputs. An API call permission request datastructure associated with an API call of an application structured to identify an API and a set of scopes is obtained. A retry-after interval is determined for each scope in the set of scopes, in which existence of a retry-after interval for a scope indicates that the API previously returned a throttled response for the scope. A wait duration associated with the API call is determined as the maximum retry-after interval across retry-after intervals that exist for the set of scopes. An API call permission response datastructure structured to specify the wait duration is provided.

  • Publication number: 20240096443
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods for design of engineered polypeptides that recapitulate molecular structure features of a predetermined portion of several reference protein structures, e.g., related antibody epitopes or protein binding sites. A Machine Learning (ML) model may be used to generate engineered polypeptides. After substituting target residues for corresponding residues in other reference structures in the same scaffold, the scaffolds with each set of target residues may be filtered by structural comparison to identify generalized scaffolds. Generalized scaffolds may be improved by screening libraries of polypeptides.
