  • Patent number: 11969201
    Abstract: A controller for an electrosurgical generator includes an RF inverter, a signal processor, a software compensator, a hardware compensator, and an RF inverter controller. The RF inverter generates an electrosurgical waveform and the signal processor outputs a measured value of at least one of a voltage, a current, or power of the electrosurgical waveform. The software compensator generates a desired value for at least one of the voltage, the current, or the power of the electrosurgical waveform, and the hardware compensator generates a phase shift based on the measured value and the desired value. The RF inverter controller generates a pulse-width modulation (PWM) signal based on the phase shift to control the RF inverter.

  • Publication number: 20230144069
    Abstract: Subject matter related to data management is discussed. A most recent snapshot in a snapshot chain that is not infected by malware may be identified based on mounting snapshots in the snapshot chain and determining whether the snapshots are infected. A graphical user interface showing individual snapshots in the snapshot change and indicating whether the snapshot is infected with malware may be displayed. The graphical user interface may provide a recover function for non-infected snapshots and may not enable the recover function for infected snapshots. A command to recover a non-infected snapshot in the snapshot chain may be received. Based on receiving the command, the non-infected snapshot may be recovered.

  • Publication number: 20230142613
    Abstract: Subject matter related to data management is disclosed. A most recent snapshot in a snapshot chain that is not infected by malware may be identified based on mounting snapshots in the snapshot chain and determining whether the snapshots are infected. A selection of an infected snapshot may be received, where the infected snapshot may be more recent than the identified most recent snapshot. The selected infected snapshot may be mounted. Based on mounting the infected snapshot, a determination of which content in the selected snapshot are not infected may be made. Based on determining which content in the selected snapshot is not infected, at least one of the non-infected content may be recovered.

  • Patent number: 11562674
    Abstract: Technology for a display source device is described. The display source device can receive a frame start indication from a display panel at a start of a frame. The display source device can align a timing of the display source device to a timing of the display panel based on the frame start indication received from the display panel to obtain frame-level synchronization between the display source device and the display panel. The display source device can send one or more frame update regions to the display panel in accordance with the timing of the display source device that is aligned to the timing of the display panel.

  • Patent number: 11461354
    Abstract: A serverless data processing architecture may be a high-velocity, cost-efficient and massively scalable log ingest application and event parser that may act as the intermediary between data collection and data analysis and may handle the receipt and parsing of incoming event data generated by collector and sensor applications. The log analytics data science portion of an ingest process may determine if arbitrarily structured log data is anomalous and/or security relevant via single event or multievent algorithms. There are numerous applications for both the single and multi-event log analytics platforms. Any application involving reliably finding anomalous pieces of semi-structured or unstructured text data may provide potential use cases. These processes may be particularly widely applicable because these processes are agnostic to and require no prior knowledge of the structure of the data.

  • Publication number: 20220068242
    Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatuses may provide for a system memory, an external graphics source, and a host processor coupled to the system memory and the external graphics source. The host processor may include an integrated graphics source, an output port, a set of input pins, wherein the set if input pins are dedicated to the external graphics source, and a communication path between the set of input pins and the output port. In one example, the communication path bypasses the system memory and the integrated graphics source.

  • Patent number: 10754313
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, decoding first and second encoded audio portions extracted from a digitally encoded data stream to obtain first and second decoded audio portions. The digitally encoded data stream includes an encoded video portion, multiple encoded audio portions including the first and second audio portions and a reference marker. The first and second decoded audio portions are synchronized to a decoded video portion based on the reference marker. The first decoded audio portion is forwarded to equipment of a first user and the second decoded audio portion is forwarded to equipment of a second user. Presentations of the first decoded audio portion by the equipment of the first user and the second decoded audio portion by the equipment of the second user are synchronized to a presentation of the decoded video portion. Other embodiments are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10601541
    Abstract: An architecture is provided that can scale content resolution in order to mitigate errors in a provisioned service of a communication network, such as a wireless service or a femtocell service that integrates with DSL or other broadband carriers. The architecture can identify fault conditions relating to e.g., bandwidth oversubscription or symbolization integrity. Based upon such identification, the architecture can alter encoding format codecs of certain types of content in order to reduce their resolution/quality, thereby mitigating bandwidth oversubscription fault conditions or freeing up space (without necessarily increasing bandwidth) to insert additional FEC code.
