  • Patent number: 11614407
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a device consisting of a portable and multi-band UV light device that uses a combination of UVA, UVB, and UVC wavelength band of UV emitters. For detection, UV emitters are energized to a particulate collector that will fluoresce and glow when there is the presence of a wide range of different harmful aerosol droplet particles in the air that may be collected. This instant and positive visual detection with an available audio alarm alert indicates the presence of harmful aerosol droplet particles in the vicinity of this Instant Particulate Detector or IPD device, allowing the user to take immediate and corrective action. The user can also subsequently select disinfection utilizing UVC wavelength light to sterilize the particulate collector and Instant Particulate Detector or IPD device.

  • Patent number: 11613911
    Abstract: A device for preventing unwanted opening of a locked enclosure includes a lock bolt moveable between a locked position and an unlocked position. A face gear is meshable with and rotatable by the worm gear between locking and unlocking positions when the worm gear is driven in the first and second directions, respectively. A blocker member is rotatable between first and second positions. A biasing member is operatively coupled to the face gear and the blocker member to bias the blocker member in a biasing direction. A sliding member selectively disengages the blocker member to allow the blocker member to rotate in the biasing direction. A lever arm is operatively coupled to the sliding member such that the lever arm is in the disengaged and engageable positions when the sliding member engages the blocker member in the first and second positions, respectively.

  • Patent number: 11616830
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a computer-implemented method of implementing an on-demand computing network environment. A network specification is received from a user. Resources from one or more resource providers are provisioned. The on-demand computing network is configured, where configuring comprises assigning a first provisioned resource as a hub device and assigning one or more second provisioned resources as rim devices, where a particular rim device comprises a bridge device, where the bridge device repackages data received from the on-demand computing network prior to forwarding that data such that the data received from the on-demand computing network appears to terminate at the bridge device to an observer viewing the data between the hub device and the bridge device.

  • Patent number: 11615047
    Abstract: A method for a low voltage drive circuit (LVDC) begins by receiving data from one or more other low voltage drive circuits (LVDCs) using a bus with varying loading at one or more frequencies and continues by sampling one or more data values of the data to produce a sampled digital data value, converting the sampled digital data value to a binary string and writing the binary string to a buffer. The method continues by writing one or more additional binary strings to the buffer to form a digital word, outputting the digital word to a digital converter circuit and formatting the digital word to create a formatted digital word. The method continues by writing the formatted digital word to a second buffer, writing additional formatted digital words to the second buffer to form a data packet and finally, outputting the data packet to a host device.

  • Patent number: 11615063
    Abstract: Dictionary-based compression is performed to compress data units using a similar data unit as the base unit (i.e., dictionary) for each candidate data unit. Similarity may be determined between data units by applying a locality-sensitive hashing scheme to each candidate data unit to produce a hash value, and by determining whether there is a matching value in a hash index of hash values for existing data units on the system. If there is a matching hash value, the candidate data unit may be compressed using the data unit corresponding to the matching hash value as the dictionary. Only a representative portion of the data unit may be hashed to produce the hash value, the portion comprised of chunks of the data unit, where each chunk is a continuous, uninterrupted section of data. The chunks themselves may not be (in some embodiments likely are not) contiguous to one another.

  • Patent number: 11612184
    Abstract: A cartomizer of an electronic vaping device includes a heater circuit which is located adjacent an air passage thereof. The heater circuit includes an electrically resistive heater in electrical communication with a secondary coil. A wick extends across the air passage. The wick is configured to draw pre-vapor formulation from a reservoir toward the heater. The heater is configured to heat the pre-vapor formulation to a temperature sufficient to vaporize the pre-vapor formulation and form a vapor. The cartomizer is connectable to a power supply component which includes a power source in electrical communication with a primary coil. The power supply component is configured to induce sufficient voltage in the secondary coil of the heater circuit such that the secondary coil is configured to heat the heater and vaporize the pre-vapor formulation when the primary coil is powered by the power source.

  • Patent number: 11616750
    Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure provide a message relay service. The message relay service provides an application programming interface (API) with which messages can be sent and received without handling specific implementation details of a messaging system. When inbound messages are received, the message relay service may provide a push notification and/or may store the message for later access. In examples, one or more source addresses are used to send messages. If the client device indicates a group of addresses should be used, one address is selected from the group and used to send a message accordingly. In some examples, the message relay service determines that a messaging gateway need not be used to message a recipient address, and transmits the message without use of the messaging gateway. The same API may be used to send and receive messages across different messaging systems without a customer handling system-specific complexities.

  • Patent number: 11614207
    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to an energy efficient and pollution reducing post top lamp. In an illustrative example, a replaceable light unit (RLU) includes a LED package distributed about a first axis of the RLU. The LED package, for example, may emit a light being redirected by a first optical element to generate a first optical distribution along a first optical axis in a first direction, the first optical axis being substantially parallel to the first axis. The first optical distribution may be, for example, reflected by a second optical element such that at least a portion of the light in the first optical distribution may be reflected into a second optical distribution. For example, at least fifty percent of the light in the second optical distribution may be greater than fifty degrees from the first optical axis. Various embodiments may advantageously conserve energy and/or reduce light pollution.

  • Patent number: 11615255
    Abstract: Machine classifiers in accordance with embodiments of the invention capture long-term temporal dependencies in the dialogue data better than the existing RNN-based architectures. Additionally, machine classifiers may model the joint distribution of the context and response as opposed to the conditional distribution of the response given the context as employed in sequence-to-sequence frameworks. Machine classifiers in accordance with embodiments further append random paddings before and/or after the input data to reduce the syntactic redundancy in the input data, thereby improving the performance of the machine classifiers for a variety of dialogue-related tasks. The random padding of the input data may further provide regularization during the training of the machine classifier and/or reduce exposure bias. In a variety of embodiments, the input data may be encoded based on subword tokenization.
