Publication number: 20240156152Abstract: An aerosol-generating article includes a rod of aerosol-generating substrate, a mouthpiece including a plug of filtration material, a wrapper, and a tobacco-containing layer including tobacco and an aerosol-forming agent, wherein the rod is wrapped by the wrapper and by the tobacco-containing layer, and the tobacco-containing layer is positioned in contact with a surface of the wrapper. A method for producing an aerosol-generating article includes preparing a tobacco-containing slurry, depositing the slurry onto a first sheet to form a sheet coated with a tobacco-containing layer, attaching a paper sheet to the first sheet to form a wrapper before or after depositing the slurry onto the first sheet so that the paper sheet and the tobacco-containing layer are on opposing sides of the first sheet, and subsequently wrapping a rod of aerosol-generating substrate with the wrapper including the first sheet, so that the tobacco-containing layer is facing the rod.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2022Publication date: May 16, 2024Applicant: JT International SAInventor: Akira Yamaguchi

Patent number: 11985167Abstract: A remote wipe message or notification may be sent from a server computer to one or more target client devices associated with a user. A managed container running on a target client device associated with the user and having a managed cache storing content managed by or through the server computer may, in response to the remote wipe message or notification, deleting the managed content or a portion thereof from its managed cache. The managed container may send back an acknowledgement or message to the server computer that it had completed the remote wipe. The remote wipe functionality can avoid having to deal with individual applications running on the client device and therefore can eliminate the complexity of having to deal with individual applications. Furthermore, the remote wipe can be done independently of the local operating system and without affecting non-managed information/applications on the client device.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2021Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: OPEN TEXT SA ULCInventors: Gregory Beckman, Robert Laird, Alain Gagne

Patent number: 11985024Abstract: Embodiments improve application gateway architecture by pushing secure managed service boundaries. Managed services that were previously available directly in application gateway code are separated from application gateway code and exposed to service clients in a controlled, secured manner via a RESTful API layer dedicated to the management and interaction of deployed managed services. The separation can be realized in management agents. A management agent receives a service request from an application and makes an API call to the dedicated management API layer of the managing application gateway. The application may run within a managed container on a user device. Responsive to the API call, the application gateway sends a control or configuration message to the management agent over HTTP. The management agent controls or configures the managed service to function or behave as dictated by the application gateway.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2022Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: OPEN TEXT SA ULCInventor: Rhys Christopher Evans

Patent number: 11983486Abstract: Described herein are techniques for automatically updating (e.g., augmenting) the content of documents with additional content. Such documents may be generated automatically using a natural language generation (NLG) engine. In some embodiments, the techniques developed by the inventors are configured to update a document with text explaining what caused a certain event or set of events described in the document. The techniques developed by the inventors involve multiple acts. For example, the techniques may identify content of relevance to a document, may identify whether the content includes a text segments having a causal structure, and may separate the cause sub-segment from the cause-segment. The cause sub-segment, and optionally the effect sub-segment, may be used to update the document.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2021Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: YSEOP SAInventors: Dominique Mariko, Hugues Sézille de Mazancourt, Hanna Abi-Akl, Estelle Rozenn Labidurie
