  • Patent number: 11935100
    Abstract: In some implementations, a device may receive an indication of information associated with a stored value medium. The device may populate a database with the information associated with the stored value medium, where the database includes a table to link the information associated with the stored value medium with an entity identifier of an entity associated with the stored value medium. The device may receive an indication of an exchange associated with the entity identifier of the entity, where the exchange is not associated with the stored value medium. The device may parse the database using the entity identifier associated with the entity to identify the information associated with the stored value medium indicated in the database. The device may communicate, with a backend system, to enable the exchange to be at least partially completed using the resources associated with the stored value medium.

  • Patent number: 11931196
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described herein for using processes and machine learning techniques to optimize medical imaging processes to reduce inadvertent exposure to harmful radiation. A machine learning model may be trained to output recommended medical imaging device operating parameter settings. Available operating parameters of a medical imaging device may be determined, and patient data may be received. The patient data and the available operating parameters may be used as input to the trained machine learning model, which might output recommended operating parameter settings. In turn, this output in addition to other calculations might be used to transmit, to the medical imaging device, data that causes modification of the operating parameters of the medical imaging device. Metadata corresponding to one or more images captured by the medical imaging device may be received, and the trained machine learning model might be further trained based on that metadata.

  • Patent number: 11934548
    Abstract: Methods for centralized access control for cloud relational database management system resources are performed by systems and devices. The methods utilize a central policy storage, managed externally to database servers, which stores external policies for access to internal database resources at up to fine granularity. Database servers in the processing system each receive external access policies that correspond to users of the system by push or pull operations from the central policy storage, and store the external access policies in a cache of the database servers for databases. For resource access, access conditions are determined via policy engines of database servers based on an external access policy in the cache that corresponds to a user, responsive to a resource access request from a device of the user specifying the internal resource. Data associated with the resource is provided to the user based on the access condition being met.
