Patent number: 11938235Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a self-sanitizing structure that includes a body region having a contact surface that can be contacted by a person during an intended use of the self-sanitizing structure. The self-sanitizing structure further includes an energy source configured to generate electromagnetic radiation and direct the electromagnetic radiation through the body region to the contact surface. The body region is configured to scatter the electromagnetic radiation and pass the scattered electromagnetic radiation to the contact surface in a manner that maintains the scattered electromagnetic radiation that reaches the contact surface as sanitizing electromagnetic radiation. The sanitizing electromagnetic radiation is electromagnetic radiation that is at or above a minimum irradiance level that neutralizes infectious agents.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2020Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: DuPont Electronics, Inc.Inventors: Wei Wu, Gregory Scott Blackman, Barry D.

Publication number: 20240070801Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus related to memory devices. In one approach, an artificial intelligence system uses a memory device to provide inference results. Image data from a camera is provided to the memory device. The memory device stores the image data received from the camera. The memory device includes dynamic random access memory (DRAM), and static random access memory (SRAM). The memory device also includes a processor to run a neural network. The neural network uses the image data as input. An output from the neural network provides an inference result. In one example, the memory device has a same form factor as a conventional DRAM device. The memory device includes a multiply-accumulate (MAC) engine that supports computations for the neural network.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Xinyu Wu, Timothy Paul Finkbeiner, Peter Lawrence Brown, Troy Dale Larsen, Glen Earl Hush, Troy Allen Manning

Patent number: 11916918Abstract: Disclosed are some implementations of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for executing process flows. A request to initiate execution of a flow is processed, where the request is received from a first user. The flow includes a plurality of flow elements, where each of the flow elements represents a corresponding set of computer-readable instructions. Execution of the flow is initiated and an operation mode assigned to one of the flow elements is determined. A set of computer-readable instructions corresponding to the flow element is executed according to the operation mode such that an identity of the first user is recorded in association with an operation on a database record, wherein permissions allocated in a user profile to the first user do not provide the first user permission to cause the operation on the database record.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2020Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Yucheng Wang, Saravanan Adaikkalavan, Hao Wu, Hugh Cockburn, Colin Frank, Kaysha Chandran, William Charles Eidson, Timothy Peng
