  • Publication number: 20240134918
    Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamic user profile projection are provided. One or more aspects of the systems and methods includes computing, by a prediction component, a predicted number of lookups for a future time period based on a lookup history of a user profile using a lookup prediction model; comparing, by the prediction component, the predicted number of lookups to a lookup threshold; and transmitting, by a projection component, the user profile to an edge server based on the comparison.

  • Publication number: 20240134919
    Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamic user profile management are provided. One aspect of the systems and methods includes receiving, by a lookup component, a request for a user profile; computing, by a profile component, a time-to-live (TTL) refresh value for the user profile based on a lookup history of the user profile; updating, by the profile component, a TTL value of the user profile based on the request and the TTL refresh value; storing, by the profile component, the user profile and the updated TTL value in the edge database; and removing, by the edge database, the user profile from the edge database based on the updated TTL value.

  • Patent number: 9776778
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device (10) for emptying a canister (12) with a nozzle (14) with a first opening (16), comprising an adapter (18) to be at least partially arranged inside the nozzle (14), in particular inside the first opening (16), a connector (34) connectable to the adapter (18) for connecting a suction machine to the adapter (18), and a reclosable fitment (36) comprising a first fitment part (38) and a second fitment part (40), wherein the first fitment part (36) is arranged on the adapter (18) and the second fitment (40) part is arranged on the connector (34). Thus, the safety of handling an emptied canister (12) with a residue fluid may be increased.
