  • Patent number: 12050582
    Abstract: The subject technology provides embodiments for supporting a unified table which may be a managed table or an unmanaged table. Managed tables are those where the subject technology manages the metastore/catalog for the table, whereas unmanaged tables are tables where an external catalog controls the table and the subject technology integrates with that catalog to work with the table, but does not assume control of the table.

  • Patent number: 11976499
    Abstract: An anti-tampering device secures bolted components, such as a trailer coupler mounted to an adjustable channel. A nut shield provides hexagonal channels in which nuts are contained. A hasp assembly provides a locking tab. Bolts secure the nut shield and the hasp assembly to the components. A hasp shield with a notched annular flange overlays the hasp assembly, receives the tab through a slot in the area surrounded by the notched annular flange, and contains a puck lock in the area. The puck lock engages the locking tab.

  • Patent number: 11949720
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for securing a network, for admitting new nodes into an existing network, and/or for securely forming a new network. As a non-limiting example, an existing node may be triggered by a user, in response to which the existing node communicates with a network coordinator node. Thereafter, if a new node attempts to enter the network, and also for example has been triggered by a user, the network coordinator may determine, based at least in part on parameters within the new node and the network coordinator, whether the new node can enter the network.

  • Publication number: 20240100893
    Abstract: A trailer coupler includes a lock contained within a channel in a coupler body. A pin extends from the lock. The pin extends through an aperture in an end of the channel and through an aperture in a latch handle when the lock is locked. In such configuration, the pin prevents pivoting the latch handle to an open (unlocked) position. Unlocking the lock allows the lock to be moved at least partially out of the channel, which removes the pin from the aperture in the handle, allowing the handle to pivot to an open (unlocked) position.

  • Publication number: 20230410684
    Abstract: Using machine learning for determining financial literacy content based on life stages is provided. For example, a computing system can determine a first stage of life associated with a first set of financial literacy content for a user account. The computing system can input a set of user characteristics associated with a user of the user account into a trained machine learning model. The computing system can receive, from the trained machine learning model, a second stage of life associated with the user. The second stage of life can be different than the first stage of life. The computing system can determine a second set of financial literacy content based on the second stage of life. The computing system can output, to a user device associated with the user account, the updated set of financial literacy content for display as a graphical user interface.

    Abstract: Using a trained machine learning model for modifying word structures in financial literacy content based on age is provided. For example, a computing system can determine a first reading comprehension level for a set of financial literacy content. The set of financial literacy content can include sentences. The computing system can input the sentences into a trained machine learning model. The computing system can receive one or more updates to the sentences from the trained machine learning model. The computing system can generate an updated set of financial literacy content based on the one or more updates to the sentences. The one or more updates to the sentences can have a second reading comprehension level that is different than the first reading comprehension level. The computing system can output the updated set of financial literacy content as a graphical user interface to a user device associated with a user account.

  • Publication number: 20230373696
    Abstract: A secure container cover for a container and manufacturing method therefore are provided. The secure container cover includes an integrally molded body with an annular structure and a side wall. The annular structure includes a central void defined by an intermediate perimeter, and a graspable loop integrally formed with the annular structure is configured to reside within the central void. A tear initiation point is formed where the graspable loop joins the annular structure. A thin section extends from the tear initiation point to a bottom edge of the side wall. The graspable loop is detachably connected to the annular structure at a bridging section. The bridging section is configured to break when an upward biasing force is applied to the graspable loop, and the side wall is configured to separate along the thin section when the graspable loop is pulled away from the body of the secure container cover.

  • Patent number: 11802585
    Abstract: An anti-tampering device includes a housing with a bolt channel and a lock channel. The lock channel is aligned with, intersects and is perpendicular to the bolt channel. A head of a bolt and a portion of a shank of a bolt is received in the bolt channel. A lock received in the lock channel extends into the bolt channel, in proximity to the shank of the bolt, when the lock is in a locked position. The portion of the lock extending into the bolt channel prevents removal of the head of the bolt from the bolt channel.
