  • Patent number: 11361106
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to techniques for chaining, triggering, and/or enforcing entitlements in a constrained environment. A constrained environment may be provided within with shielded assets are required to exist or execute. An entitlement may be granted on a variety of shielded assets, including datasets, computations scripts, data privacy pipelines, and intermediate datasets generated by an intermediate step of a data privacy pipeline. Thus, a beneficiary may use a granted entitlement as an input into other data privacy pipelines, without the need for the grantor to approve each specific downstream operation. The constrained environment may enforce an entitlement by fulfilling applicable constraints upon accessing the entitlement, restricting the output of the entitlement to the constrained environment, and fulfilling applicable policies when executing downstream operations.

  • Patent number: 11363126
    Abstract: A self-healing network on-board a vehicle includes multiple wireless devices that are directly and communicatively interconnected via communications backbone(s). One of devices is collectively determined by the other devices to be a lead device of the network, and therefore establishes a wireless link (e.g., an only wireless link) communicatively connecting any of the self-healing network devices to other devices/servers on-board the vehicle and external to the network. Passenger-consumable content may be delivered between any device of the self-healing network and the other on-board, external devices via the lead wireless device, its established wireless link, and the communications backbone(s). Any wireless device of the self-healing network may serve as a hot spare for the lead wireless device, so that the self-healing network may automatically reconfigure to mitigate and recover from faults, e.g.

  • Patent number: 11358808
    Abstract: A material handling apparatus includes a first pop-up belt abutting a first cam. The first pop-up belt is configured to facilitate movement of a package between a first conveyor and a second conveyor. a separator wall abuts a second cam. The separator wall is configured to control movement of the package between the first conveyor and the second conveyor. In response to the camshaft rotating in a first direction, the first cam causes the first pop-up belt to extend out from the first conveyor. The second cam causes the separator wall to move to a first position. I in the first position, the separator wall allows the package to move from the first conveyor to the second conveyor. In response to the camshaft rotating in a second direction, the first pop-up belt move to a retracted position while the separator wall to move to a second position.

  • Patent number: 11361816
    Abstract: Apparatuses and techniques are described for providing separate source regions in the substrate below a block of memory cells. The source regions can be separately driven by respective voltage drivers to provide benefits such as more uniform program and erase speeds and narrower threshold voltage distributions. In one approach, a single source region is provided and divided into multiple source regions by etching trenches and filling the trenches with an insulating material. Contacts to the source regions can include post-shaped contacts which extend through the block for each source region. In another approach, one or more planar contacts extend through the block for each source region. In another aspect, a program operation applies different voltages to the respective source regions during a verify test of a program operation.

  • Patent number: 11359392
    Abstract: A form bracket for supporting a wall of a concrete panel form at a casting slab includes a first planar member having a lower surface configured to engage a casting slab. A second planar member is coupled with the first planar member. The second planar member has a front surface disposed perpendicular to the lower surface of the first planar member and configured to engage a wall of a concrete panel form. In some implementations, the first and second planar members have different dimensions so as to be capable of being reoriented to accommodate different sized walls. A pair of support members extend between an upper portion of the first planar member and a rear portion of the second planar member. The pair of support members are spaced apart to define a void that is configured to matably receive a second form bracket in a stacked arrangement.
