  • Control module for a driver for an electrical load
    Patent number: 11924948
    Abstract: A lighting control system for controlling a cumulative light emitted by a lighting fixture may comprise a light-emitting diode (LED) driver comprising an output for conducting an output current, and a control module electrically coupled to the output of the LED driver for receiving the output current. The LED driver may regulate the magnitude of the output current towards a target current, and may be characterized by a low-end intensity. The control module may be coupled to a first LED light source of the LED light sources. The control module may receive a command including a requested intensity and control the magnitude of a first LED current through the first LED light source. The control module may control the cumulative light output of the lighting fixture below the low-end intensity of the LED driver by diverting a portion of the output current away from the first LED light source.

  • Skin care product with protein matrix
    Patent number: 11918673
    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for formulating a skin care product to mitigate aging or to restore damaged skin. One skin care product includes a blend of growth factors, peptides, and amino acids. Also disclosed is a skin care product formed from a synthesized protein matrix. The synthesized protein matrix can mimic the regenerative effects of human placental proteins, which are desirable when applied to skin because, as skin loses its regenerative properties, humans shows signs of aging, and a decrease in healing capabilities. The exemplary skin-care products disclosed herein can be applied to skin to help mitigate this skin aging process or to restore damaged skin.

  • Preventing data loss in event driven continuous availability systems
    Patent number: 11921745
    Abstract: Described herein is a method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium for preventing data loss from both producer and consumer systems in continuous availability event-driven applications. The process for preventing data loss may replicate events at the broker level, and selectively receive replica events at the consumer level to account for the case the originally sent event is not received, while conserving computer and network resources. Alternatively, events and replica events may be received in duplicate. In either mode of reception, machine-learning may be used for implementing algorithms which further help to conserve resources and aid in preventing further data loss.
