Abstract: A database management engine provides a user interface that allows users to access and modify employee information in a database. The database includes entries for employees, and each database entry includes identifying information about the associated employee. A user can request to modify data within database entries, for instance in order to update information associated with an employee. Responsive to the request, the database management engine identifies liabilities associated with the database modification stemming from associated tax laws. Based on the identified tax liabilities, the engine computes the aggregate tax liability owed by the employer and/or employee. Before modifying a database entry, the engine modifies the user interface to include interface elements detailing the computed aggregate tax liability. The user explicitly can be required to confirm the database modification in view of the aggregate tax liability.

Abstract: A method of index searching of consent-protected private healthcare data includes receiving, from a computing device, a search request for access to consent-protected healthcare data stored at a consent-indexed healthcare data store. The request includes one or more consent parameters asserted for a user of the computing device. The method also includes identifying one or more asserted access consent scenarios for accessing the requested consent-protected healthcare data based on the one or more consent parameters, each asserted access consent scenario of the one or more asserted access consent scenarios representing a respective subset of the one or more consent parameters. The method further includes defining a search filter based on the one or more asserted access consent scenarios and determining, via an indexed search of the data store using the search filter, a subset of the requested data. The method includes providing the subset of data to the computing device.

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.

Abstract: A lead autonomous vehicle (AV) includes a sensor configured to observe a field of view in front of the lead AV. Following AVs are on the same road behind the lead AV. A processor of the lead AV is configured to detect a road structural change on the particular road. The processor updates driving instructions of the lead AV to navigate through the structural change using driving instructions related to the structural change. The processor sends a first message to the operation server indicating that the structural change is detected. The operation server updates the first portion of the map data, reflecting the structural change. The operation server sends the updated map data to the one or more following AVs.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus related to spike current suppression in a memory array. In one approach, a memory device includes a memory array having a cross-point memory architecture. The memory array has access lines (e.g., word lines and/or bit lines) configured to access memory cells of the memory array. Each access line has left and right portions. Spike current suppression is implemented by charge screening structures. The charge screening structures are formed by laterally integrating insulating layers into selected interior regions of the left and/or right portions of the access line. The insulating layers vertically separate the access line into top and bottom conductive portions above and below the insulating layers. For memory cells located overlying or underlying the insulating layers, the resistance to each memory cell is increased because the cell is accessed using only the higher resistance path of the top or bottom conductive portion.
