  • Patent number: 12254454
    Abstract: Aspects provided may allow for a user to block charges from an entity without having to contact the entity. After detecting that the user has enrolled in a trial or subscription of an entity offering, the user may be provided with the option to block charges from the entity. Using incoming data, charges from the blocked entity may be identified and prevented from being applied to the user. Further aspects may provide for more discrete charge blocking, such as blocking charges for one activity while allowing other charges for different activities from the same entity to go through, and training an identification model that isolates the entity identifier from the incoming data and matches the entity identifier to known entities.

  • Patent number: 12253868
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a technique of configuring flexible photovoltaic tracker systems with high damping and low angle stow positions. Under dynamic environmental loads implementing a high amount of damping (e.g., greater than 25% of critical damping, greater than 50% of critical damping) or a very high amount of damping (e.g., 100% or greater of critical damping, infinite damping) enables the flexible tracker system to prevent problematic aeroelastic behaviors while positioned in a low stow angle. The disclosed technique is further applied to a prototyping process during wind tunnel testing.

  • Patent number: 12252406
    Abstract: Processes and apparatuses for recovering a high purity carbon dioxide stream. A first separation zone that may include a cryogenic fractionation column provides the high-purity CO2 stream. A vapor stream from the cryogenic fractionation column is passed to a second separation zone to separate the CO2 from the other components. The second separation zone may include a pressure swing adsorption unit or a solvent separation unit. The second separation zone provides a hydrogen enriched gas stream that may be used in a gas turbine. The second stream from the second separation zone includes carbon dioxide and, after a pressure increase in a compressor, may be recycled to the first separation zone.

  • Patent number: 12254072
    Abstract: Helper neural network can play a role in augmenting authentication services that are based on neural network architectures. For example, helper networks are configured to operate as a gateway on identification information used to identify users, enroll users, and/or construct authentication models (e.g., embedding and/or prediction networks). Assuming, that both good and bad identification information samples are taken as part of identification information capture, the helper networks operate to filter out bad identification information prior to training, which prevents, for example, identification information that is valid but poorly captured from impacting identification, training, and/or prediction using various neural networks. Additionally, helper networks can also identify and prevent presentation attacks or submission of spoofed identification information as part of processing and/or validation.

  • Patent number: 12255943
    Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein provide a set of tools that help event organizers better prepare for important events by facilitating features of rehearsal sessions. In some configurations, a system can create a rehearsal session in the process of setting up a meeting. Thus, if a meeting organizer is setting up a company all-hands meeting, the tools provide options that allow event organizers to setup multiple rehearsal sessions effortlessly in the event scheduling flow. The tools enable a system to perform tests that simulate event attendees. This allows an organizer to test specific user activity involving each users' experience in joining a meeting or performing common attendee behaviors like a virtual hand raise or a reaction. The system also provides intelligent technical checks that automatically test each presenter's device settings and displays real-time telemetry data to effectively communicate any performance issues to a meeting organizer.

  • Patent number: 12254279
    Abstract: A dynamic conversation interface system includes a plurality of instances of a large language model (LLM) engine, each instance being configured according to a respective set of system directives. An agent manager engine instantiates and configures the instances of the LLM engine such that a first LLM engine instance is configured according to a first set of system directives, and a second LLM engine instance is configured according to a second set of system directives that is different from the first set. The first LLM engine instance has a different functional specialization from the second LLM engine instance, and the two instances engage in a same conversation session with a user to perform different specializations within that conversation session.
