  • Providing backpressure for electric compressor
    Patent number: 12270393
    Abstract: An air treatment system includes an electric compressor for compressing air, an air flow valve positioned in a delivery line downstream of the electric compressor, and an electropneumatic valve connected to the air flow valve. A controller having control logic receives a system pressure and activates the electropneumatic valve. The control logic activates the electropneumatic valve to provide a pneumatic control signal to the air flow valve to partially close the delivery line in response to the system pressure being greater than a first predetermined pressure.

  • Mounting interfaces, devices therewith, accessories therefor, and methods of manufacture and use thereof
    Patent number: 12269552
    Abstract: This disclosure discloses various brackets with various mounting interfaces for engaging (e.g., mechanically) with various surfaces that are correspondingly configured. For example, one of such brackets can clamp onto a bar (e.g., a handlebar of a vehicle) and then an electronic device (e.g., a smartphone, a tablet, a dedicated navigational unit) can removably secure (e.g., mate) to that bracket. This form of removable securing can be via that bracket having a latch configured to engage a detent of the electronic device (or vice versa) in order to linearly mount the electronic device onto the bracket (or vice versa) and disengage the detent in order rotationally unmount the electronic device from the bracket (or vice versa).

  • System and method for management of perpetual inventory values associated with nil picks
    Patent number: 12271864
    Abstract: An electronic indication of a nil pick is received. Item information associated with the desired product, sales data concerning the desired product, supply chain information associated with the desired product, and a perpetual inventory (PI) value of the desired product are stored. An adjustment to the PI of the desired product is blocked when a predetermined event occurs at the retail store, or when information that contradicts the validity of the nil pick is received from the retail store. When the adjustment to the PI of the desired product is not blocked, an amount of the adjustment is determined based upon one or more of: the item information associated with the product, the sales data concerning the product, and the supply chain information associated with the desired product.

  • System and method for reconciliation of data in multiple systems using permutation matching
    Patent number: 12271398
    Abstract: A method includes obtaining first and second data sets to be reconciled and, using matching rules, identifying discrepancies between the data sets. The matching rules include at least one permutation key, where each permutation key identifies a subset of data to be grouped together in one of the data sets. Identifying the discrepancies includes attempting to match one or more first characteristics associated with the grouped subset of data in one of the data sets to one or more second characteristics associated with another of the data sets. The matching rules could involve multiple matching characteristics, and the matching rules could be generated using a metric to select the matching characteristics of the matching rules. The metric could be based on a combination of a number of matched data items and a number of matched groups of data items.

  • Robust, scalable and generalizable machine learning paradigm for multi-agent applications
    Patent number: 12271787
    Abstract: Described is a learning system for multi-agent applications. In operation, the system initializes a plurality of learning agents. The learning agents include both tactical agents and strategic agents. The strategic agents take an observation from an environment and select one or more of the tactical agents to produce an action that is used to control a platform's actuators or simulated movements in the environment to complete a task. Alternatively, the tactical agents produce the action corresponding to a learned low-level behavior to control the platform's actuators or simulated movements in the environment to complete the task.

  • Compositor layer extrapolation
    Patent number: 12271995
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method may obtain, from an application, (a) an image and (b) a layer frame having a first pose in front of the image. The method may generate, for a first viewpoint associated with a first time, a first display frame by separately rendering the image and the layer frame having the first pose into a display buffer. The method may display the first display frame at the first time. The method may determine an extrapolated pose for the layer frame based on the first pose of the layer frame and a second pose of a previously submitted layer frame. The method may generate, for a second viewpoint associated with a second time, a second display frame by separately rendering the image and the layer frame having the extrapolated pose into the display buffer. The method may display the second display frame at the second time.

  • Dynamic permissions management for cloud workloads
    Patent number: 12273390
    Abstract: Applications supporting operations of an autonomous vehicle fleet can be implemented on and supported by cluster infrastructure. These applications have endpoints where data traffic runs in and out of these applications. Securing access to these endpoints can prevent unauthenticated and unauthorized access to these endpoints and the protected resources accessible through these endpoints. Securing access to these endpoints, managing entitlements and security policies, and maintaining security systems that can enforce the security policies are not trivial tasks. One solution addresses some of these challenges by offering a simple frontend for users to define the entitlements and security policies, leveraging an open source security solution, and ensuring backwards compatibility to other security solutions in the cluster infrastructure.
