  • Patent number: 11656923
    Abstract: A method includes creating a publisher configured to send messages over a channel having a shared memory. The method includes creating at least one subscriber configured to receive the messages over the channel by sequentially referencing memory slots of the plurality of memory slots. The method includes determining that the next sequential memory slot is currently referenced by a subscriber. The method includes delaying sending the message by the publisher based on determining that the next sequential memory slot is currently referenced by the subscriber. The method includes receiving an event trigger indicative of message reading by the subscriber. The method includes, responsive to receiving the event trigger, determining that the next sequential memory slot is not currently referenced. The method includes sending the message to the next sequential memory slot based on determining that the next sequential memory slot is not currently referenced.

  • Patent number: 11654074
    Abstract: Systems and methods relating to displaying images are disclosed. In one embodiment, sensor data is received via one or more sensors of a wearable head device comprising a display, the sensor data indicative of a surrounding environment of a user of the wearable head device. An image can be determined based on the sensor data, the image corresponding to the surrounding environment. A visibility of a first portion of the image corresponding to a first portion of the surrounding environment can be enhanced. Enhancing a visibility of a second portion of the image corresponding to a second portion of the surrounding environment can be forgone. The enhanced first portion of the image and a view of the second portion of the surrounding environment can be presented concurrently via the display of the wearable head device.

  • Patent number: 11654262
    Abstract: A handle assembly for controlling a steerable catheter includes a handle extending about a longitudinal axis from a proximal end to a distal end. A lumen extends through the handle to a distal tip extending outwardly from the distal end of the handle and a pair of control wires are interconnected to the distal end of extend the lumen. A lever assembly is disposed within the handle and includes a lever rotatable about a lever axis to control deflection of the distal end of the lumen. The lever assembly includes a first and second gear assembly disposed in opposing relationship to one another and offset relative to the longitudinal axis for allowing the lumen to pass therebetween. Each of the gear assemblies are interconnected to one of the pair of control wires to individually pull a respective one of the control wires in response to rotation of the lever.

  • Patent number: 11658952
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to techniques for anonymizing information in an end-to-end (E2E) encrypted environment; the information may include, for example, statistical data about unique page/message views, view counts, view time, what users selected on the message or page, etc. Exemplary embodiments may prevent an E2E system server from being able to identify which user is associated with which record. Various examples are described, including an embodiment in which an originating client generates the data, encrypts it, and sends it to a random contact. The contact decrypts the data, re-encrypts it, and sends it to another random contact. The procedure continues for a set amount of time or for a set number of hops. Other embodiments relate to wrapping the data in various layers of encryption and sending the data to clients in a chain. The encrypted layers prevent clients along the chain from being able to view the anonymized data.

  • Patent number: 11658973
    Abstract: A method of preventing unauthorized access to electronic mail attachment is disclosed herein. A message management system receives one or more files designated as sensitive files. The message management system generates one or more hash values by applying a hash function to each of the one or more images corresponding to the file. The message management system stores the one or more hash values in a database. The message management system receives an outgoing electronic message that includes an attached file. The message management system generates one or more attachment hash values for the attached file by applying the hash function to the attached file. The message management system compares the one or more attachment hash values to the database. The message management system determines that at least one attachment hash value matches at least one hash value. The message management system blocks the outgoing electronic message.
