  • Patent number: 12136226
    Abstract: Described examples relate to an apparatus comprising a memory for storing a sequence of image frames and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to receive a first image frame of a sequence of image frames from an image capture device and select a first portion of a first image frame. The at least one processor may also be configured to obtain alignment information and determine a first portion and a second portion of a second image frame based on the alignment information. Further, the at least one processor may be configured to determine a bounding region within the second image frame and fetch image data corresponding to the bounding region of the second image frame from memory. In some examples, the first image frame may comprise a base image and the second image frame may comprise an alternative image frame. Further, the first image frame may comprise any one of the image frames of the sequence of image frames.

  • Patent number: 12134943
    Abstract: A kelly valve for placement in a tubular drillstring has an inner cage, which holds a valve ball, lower valve ball seat and other valve components. A valve stem connected to the valve ball extends through a valve stem sleeve, positioned in an opening in the wall of the main body of the kelly valve. A thrust bearing of a low friction material, preferably of polyether ether ketone (PEEK), is positioned between the valve stem and the valve stem sleeve. A port in the valve ball seat permits pressure below the kelly valve to bypass a seal and act on the inside of the valve ball. A circumferential notch in the valve ball seat accommodates a circular spring, and prevents complete compression of the spring when the valve ball seat contacts an interior shoulder in the inner cage.

  • Patent number: 12134332
    Abstract: A method for coordinating a discharge session in which direct current power is offloaded from a power supply, e.g., of an electric vehicle (EV), to a bidirectional offboard charging station includes, in response to connection of the power supply to the charging station via a charging cord set, exchanging charging data between the EV and charging station. This occurs over a low-voltage communication line, with charging data including power and current limits of the EV and charging station. In response to the limits being indicative of negative limits, with the negative limits representing a request for the discharge session, the method includes transmitting the EV power and current limits to the charging station to confirm the request. The discharge session is initiated in response to confirming the request through an exchange of a unique identifier indicating support for the discharge session.

  • Patent number: 12136024
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure enable automated and predictive generation of shortcuts to network resources by receiving a content part of a network resource based on a user selection of a link. Monitoring user interactions with the content part are monitored to produce user interaction data, and a usage parameter is determined based on the user interaction data. When a value of the user usage parameter exceeds a threshold value, a network resource content classification associated with the link is automatically generated based at least in part on a content classification machine learning model trained to classify the content part, the network resource, or both, based at least in part on a content similarity to an existing stored network resource identifier. A stored network resource identifier is automatically generated for the link in a network resource group of a user profile associated with the network resource content classification.

  • Patent number: 12137153
    Abstract: The disclosure herein describes enables new sensors to be added and maintained in an Internet of Things system without upgrading firmware for the end device. A sensor abstraction layer (SAL) manages the end sensors, and a sensor definition layer (SDL) in the cloud interfaces with the SAL. Sensor definition data of a sensor connected to the end device is identified in a sensor definition data store of the SDL including sensor configuration data. The sensor configuration data is sent to the SAL, wherein the SAL is configured to collect sensor data from the sensor via a sensor interface. Sensor data is received from the SAL via an established network connection and converted into converted sensor data based on a data conversion model of the sensor definition data. The converted sensor data is then provided to an application, connected to a sensor management device, for consumption.

  • Patent number: 12136025
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for a graph processing system. In one aspect, the graph processing system obtains data identifying a first node and a second node from a graph of nodes and edges. The system processes numeric embeddings of the first node and the second node using a manifold neural network to generate respective manifold coordinates of the first node and the second node. The system applies a learned edge function to the manifold coordinates of the first node and the manifold coordinates of the second node to generate an edge score that represents a likelihood that an entity represented by the first node and an entity represented by the second node have a particular relationship.
