  • Patent number: 12008315
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include computer-implemented systems, apparatuses, and processes that, among other things, automatically generate and populate digital interfaces based on adaptively processed image data captured by a network-connected device operating within a computing environment. For example, an apparatus may receive, from a device, a first signal that includes image data identifying a document associated with a data exchange capable of initiation by the device. The apparatus may detect, within a first portion of the image data, a presence of first textual content associated with a first parameter of the data exchange, extract a first value characterizing the first parameter from the first textual content, and generate and transmit a second signal that includes the first value to the device. The second signal includes information that instructs the device to display the first value within a portion of an interface corresponding to the first parameter.

  • Patent number: 12007988
    Abstract: Interactive assistances for executing natural language queries to data sets may be performed. A natural language query may be received. Candidate entity linkages may be determined between an entity recognized in the natural language query and columns in data sets. The candidate linkages may be ranked according to confidence scores which may be evaluated to detect ambiguity for an entity linkage. Candidate entity linkages may be provided to a user via an interface to select an entity linkage to use as part of completing the natural language query.

  • Patent number: 12007899
    Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are improved address prediction and memory preloading that leverages next-delta prediction and/or far-delta prediction for scheduling using a DNN. Previous memory access sequence data that identify one or more memory addresses previously accessed by one or more processors of a system may be processed and then converted into a sequence of delta values. The sequence of delta values are then mapped to one or more classes that are then input to a DNN. The DNN then outputs a predicted future class identifier sequence that represents addresses that the DNN predicts will be accessed by the processor in the future. The predicted future class identifier sequence is then converted back to a predicted delta value sequence and back into a set of one or more predicted addresses.

  • Publication number: 20240173474
    Abstract: An infusion pump for pumping fluid through an administrative set at a desired flow rate over a specified duration, and includes a pumping mechanism for releasably receiving and for exerting a pulsing force on the administrative set, thus pressurizing a portion of the set for creating a flow of fluid from a set outlet. A controller is connected to and is configured for operating the pumping mechanism, the controller determines a pulse frequency based on a volume of fluid infused over a portion of the specified duration and the desired flow rate, outputs a control signal to the pumping mechanism for operating the pumping mechanism based on the determined pulse frequency, determines a first pulse frequency based on the desired flow rate; and adjusts the first pulse frequency based on the volume of fluid infused to provide a second pulse frequency being different from the first pulse frequency.

  • Publication number: 20240165017
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions that enable sustained release of a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor, such as axitinib from a bioerodible polyester polymer implant for the treatment of disease. The composition is especially suitable for treating ophthalmic indications, such as neovascular age related macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema, by intravitreal injection of the implant. The implant is designed to be pre-loaded into a small diameter needle and injected via self-sealing scleral needle penetration at the pars plana. Small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors may be released from the implants over a period of one week to three years.

  • Patent number: 11983695
    Abstract: The embodiments disclosed herein use WiFi signals detected from nearby WiFi networks to confirm the identity of a bank's customer logging in to his or her account at the bank. Specifically, the customer's computing device may detect signals from neighboring WiFi networks. The bank may then verify that the customer's accounts are being accessed from the customer's home or office by comparing the list of neighboring WiFi networks to a previously stored list of the neighboring networks. If the lists match, it is probable that the customer's accounts are being accessed from the customer's home or office, thus reducing the possibility that a fraudulent actor is trying to access the customer's accounts.
