  • Patent number: 11782610
    Abstract: The presently disclosed technology is directed to combatting data theft, particularly of verified authentication data (or hashes thereof) such as login information, thumbprint data, digital signatures, identification numbers, and any other data that should be known to an accessor of stored data. The verified authentication data is initially saved for later comparison in a new type of memory, write-and-compare-only memory, where the data may be queried as to whether a to-be-verified value matches the stored verified value, but the stored and verified data is not read from the write-and-compare-only memory. This prevents a data breach by preventing the verified authentication data from being read by anyone, including those with access (whether legitimate or illegitimate) to any system connected to the write-and-compare-only memory.

  • Patent number: 11779293
    Abstract: A system and method for the prediction of a thermal load for a proposed imaging procedure in view of the current thermal state for an imaging system employs a suitable software program/algorithm which determines a predicted or likely set of individual steps for a proposed imaging procedure to be performed. The system receives parameters for the particular imaging procedure to be performed and compares these parameters with information stored concerning prior performed imaging procedures to locate prior performed imaging procedures that have similar parameters to that for the proposed imaging procedure. The system utilizes the similar prior performed procedures as models of a likely set of imaging steps for the proposed procedure and estimates the heat generation produced by the models. The software program/algorithm can then determine if the entire proposed imaging procedure represented by the models can be successfully performed under the current thermal state for the imaging system.

  • Patent number: 11785240
    Abstract: A method of video encoding includes determining whether a reference block for a current block is located in a different coding tree unit (CTU) than a CTU of the current block. The method also includes, in response to the reference block being located in the different CTU, (i) determining whether a memory location of a reference sample memory for the reference block is available. The second area is collocated in the different CTU with a position of the first area in the CTU of the current block. In response to the determination that the reference block is located in the different CTU, the method also includes, (ii) in response to a determination that the memory location for the reference block is available, retrieving, from the memory location corresponding to the reference block, one or more samples to encode the current block.

    Abstract: The disclosure provides recording materials including aromatic substituted alkane-core derivatized monomers and polymers for use in volume Bragg gratings, including, but not limited to, volume Bragg gratings for holography applications. Several structures are disclosed, including Formula I. When used in Bragg gratings applications, the monomers and polymers disclosed lead to materials with higher refractive index, low birefringence, and high transparency. The disclosed derivatized monomers and polymers can be used in any volume Bragg gratings materials, including two-stage polymer materials where a matrix is cured in a first step, and then the volume Bragg grating is written by way of a second curing step of a monomer.

  • Patent number: 11780583
    Abstract: Methods and systems for efficiently loading cargo transports, such as cargo aircraft, are described. The methods and systems rely upon payload profiles for various payloads where the payloads include repeatable payloads that have the same characteristics. Based on the payload profile, the payload is positioned at a designated location in an interior cargo bay of the cargo transport. The designated location is denoted by one or more pre-formed markings in the interior cargo bay that establish where a payload having the respective payload profile should be positioned in the bay. The payload can then be secured in the bay. Because the designated location accounts for centers of gravity, the payload can be loaded and secured in the bay without having to run various calculations each time a payload is loaded. Systems and methods related to how the payloads are packaged in an efficient, expeditious manner are also provided.

  • Patent number: 11783073
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system for enabling a default label to be configured for a network location created to store files. The default label can be assigned at a time when the files are uploaded to the network location. An owner of the network location can define the default label to be assigned to the files. Whenever an unlabeled file is uploaded to the network location, the unlabeled file automatically inherits the default label. Furthermore, the system is configured to consider an order of label priority when determining whether to assign a default label to a previously labeled file to be uploaded to the network location. The system is configured to upgrade a file with a preassigned label of lower priority to the default label, while permitting another file to be stored without a label change if the preassigned label is of higher priority compared to the default label.

  • Patent number: 11782998
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for retrieving image search results using embedding neural network models. In one aspect, an image search query is received. A respective pair numeric embedding for each of a plurality of image-landing page pairs is determined. Each pair numeric embedding is a numeric representation in an embedding space. An image search query embedding neural network processes features of the image search query and generates a query numeric embedding. The query numeric embedding is a numeric representation of the image search query in the same embedding space. A subset of the image-landing page pairs having pair numeric embeddings that are closest to the query numeric embedding of the image search query in the embedding space are identified as first candidate image search results.
