  • Methods and devices for transmitting and receiving non-binary error correcting code words
    Patent number: 12273200
    Abstract: The invention relates to the transmission and reception of non-binary error correcting code words. The transmission method includes a first modulation (56) which implements a set of q sequences comprising q?1 sequences of q?1 chips, each sequence being obtained by circular shifting of a basic pseudo-random sequence, and a partially invariant sequence, invariant to a predetermined subset of circular shifts. The first modulation (56) further implements an association between each code word symbol and a sequence of the set of sequences wherein said finite field GFq has a non-zero primitive element, the symbol zero being associated with said partially invariant sequence and a symbol equal to a power j of the primitive element, j being an integer comprised between 0 and q?2, being associated with a pseudo-random sequence determined by j circular shifts of the basic pseudo-random sequence.

  • Method of selective authentication of a blockchain user with a smart contract
    Patent number: 12271894
    Abstract: An authentication method for a user who has a hierarchical deterministic keys wallet including a path between the user's master private key and a private key specific to a smart contract, the path including a plurality of branches each carrying an index, the smart contract being univocally identified by one or several indices of branches followed by the path. The user can issue a transaction from an issuing account address, obtained by hashing the public key corresponding to the specific private key in an asymmetric cryptosystem, and can sign this transaction using the specific private key. The smart contract uses the signature to verify that the transaction was really issued from the issuing account address in question.

  • Lightweight real-time facial alignment network model selection process
    Patent number: 12272110
    Abstract: With Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), facial alignment networks (FAN) have achieved significant accuracy on a wide range of public datasets, which comes along with larger model size and expensive computation costs, making it infeasible to adapt them to real-time applications on edge devices. There is provided a model compression approach on FAN using One-Shot Neural Architecture Search to overcome this problem while preserving performance criteria. Methods and devices provide efficient training and searching (on a single GPU), and resultant models can deploy to run real-time in browser-based applications on edge devices including tablets and smartphones. The compressed models provide comparable cutting-edge accuracy, while having a 30 times smaller model size and can run 40.7 ms per frame in a popular browser on a popular smartphone and OS.

  • Branched graft assembly method in vivo
    Patent number: 12268590
    Abstract: A branched graft method includes securing a first end of a branch graft into a first conduit and subsequently moving the second end into a second conduit. The first conduit may be a branch vessel, such as a renal artery and the second conduit may be a main graft that extends over an aortic aneurysm. The branch graft may be deployed starting at an offset distance from the first end, thereby preventing the deployed portion from insertion into the first conduit and predetermining the insertion length into the target vessel. The first end may then be deployed to secure the first end to the first conduit. A branch graft may be a self-expanding stent graft having one or more ripcords, and/or a serpentine ripcord that enables non-linear deployment of the branch graft, or deployment that does not progress from one end to the opposing end.

  • GUIDED BEARING MIX PACK
    Publication number: 20250107610
    Abstract: Container devices, kits, and methods for mixing a heterogeneous composition prior to, during, and/or after use of the composition. A container includes an agitator element disposed in a guide inside the container, as well as an applicator for carrying and applying the composition to a surface. The agitator element is movably disposed within the guide, such that during agitation of the container, the agitator element controllably moves along the guide, through the composition, to mix the composition and increase uniformity of the composition for use. The guide prevents contact of the agitator element with the applicator to prevent damage to the applicator or flocking during agitation. The container is suited for use with cosmetic compositions that can be mixed for use.
