  • Patent number: 11787390
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for controlling an engine idle-stop based on upcoming traffic and road conditions. In one example, a method may include receiving data including traffic information and road characteristics immediately ahead of a vehicle from one or more remote sources, and adjusting one or more vehicle thresholds based on the received data. A duration of a prospective engine idle-stop may be estimated based on the received data and an engine idle-stop may be initiated based on the duration of the prospective engine idle-stop and the adjusted one or more vehicle threshold.

  • Patent number: 11790370
    Abstract: Technology is disclosed herein for expediting blockchain transactions. More specifically, the technology describes techniques for assessing risk associated with expediting processing of blockchain transactions received by a transaction processing platform. When a determination is made that a transaction can be expedited, the transaction processing platform can expedite the transaction, e.g., locally process the blockchain transaction, prior to receiving a verification or confirmation from the consensus network. In this manner, the transaction processing platform can act like a local cache allowing quick access and operation on permanently stored data within the blockchain with minimal or calculated risk.

  • Patent number: 11790229
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for synthetic data generation. A recurrent neural network can be trained for synthetic data generation by obtaining a sequence of elements and determining, using a classifier, that the sequence corresponds to a token. In response to the determination, a recurrent neural network configured to use a first vocabulary including the elements can be modified to use a second vocabulary, the second vocabulary including the token and the first vocabulary. The modified recurrent neural network can be trained using the token and the sequence of elements. The trained recurrent neural network can be used to generate synthetic data. A classifier can detect sequences of elements in the synthetic data corresponding to tokens. The tokens can replace the sequences of elements in the generated synthetic data and can be provided to the trained recurrent neural network to continue synthetic data generation.

  • Patent number: 11790439
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media (transitory and non-transitory) are provided herein for automated bidding on auctioned online content. In various embodiments, a bidder process operating on a bidder management computing system may determine an IP address associated with an impression to be populated with consumable content. The impression may be solicited by a content auction computing system. The bidder process may retrieve, e.g., from volatile memory local to the bidder process management computing system, bidding guidelines associated with the IP address. The bidder process may determine, based on the retrieved bidding guidelines, a bid for a particular consumable content item to populate the solicited impression. The bidder process may then submit the bid to the content auction computing system.

  • Patent number: 11786312
    Abstract: Technologies for providing assistance to a surgeon during a surgical procedure are disclosed. An example method includes identifying a medical condition of a patient and recommending surgical procedures for treatment. An optimal surgical procedure is then determined based on correlations between the medical condition of the patient and outcomes of previous surgical procedures for other patients previously suffering from the medical condition. A 3D model of the patient may be created using current images of an affected area of the patient. Successively, a surgeon is trained using a Virtual Reality simulation. During the training, the surgeon may be allowed to provide annotations. Further, the recommended surgical procedures are based on medical data of the patient, including medical images. Surgical paths are retrieved for addressing the surgical need of the patient, and the surgical paths may be overlaid on image segments, for display for the surgeon.

  • Patent number: 11788767
    Abstract: A packaged terminal air conditioner (PTAC) system includes a wall sleeve in which a chassis is mounted. The wall sleeve includes a bottom configured as a drain pan to collect condensate from the chilling components of the chassis. The floor of the drain pan includes a reservoir that extends downward from the floor. The floor slopes downward from the sides of the bottom to the reservoir so that water falling onto the floor flows toward and into the reservoir where it is retained until the height of the water in the reservoir exceed a rim around the drain opening. The rim further prevents treatment pellets from falling into the drain so that they can dissolve in the water captured by the reservoir until the water level of the reservoir flushes the treated water into the drain.
