  • Patent number: 11256797
    Abstract: The disclosed technology is generally directed to the authentication of software. In one example of the technology, a private attestation key is stored in hardware. In some examples, during a sequential boot process a hash is calculated, in an order in which the software stages are sequentially booted, of each software stage of a plurality of software stages. The hashes of each software stage of the plurality may be cryptographically appended to an accumulation register. The accumulation register may be used to attest to validity of the software stages. The plurality of software stages may include a first bootloader, a runtime for a first core of a multi-core processor, and a runtime for a first execution environment for a second core of the multi-core processor.

  • Patent number: 11254883
    Abstract: A non-petroleum or renewable feedstock containing oxygen and contaminants of metals, gums, and resins is treated by introducing the feedstock into a reactor at a flow velocity of from 20 ft/sec to 100 ft/sec. The feedstock is heated within the reactor to a temperature of from 700° F. to 1100° F. to remove and/or reduce the content of the contaminants to form a reactor product. The reactor product is cooled to form a cooled reactor product. Non-condensable gases, metals and water are separated and removed from the cooled reactor product to form a final product. The final product has an oxygen content that is 60% or less of that of the feedstock, and wherein the final product comprises 25 wt % or less any triglycerides, monoglycerides, diglycerides, free fatty acids, phosphatides, sterols, tocopherols, tocotrienols, or fatty alcohols, from 5 wt % to 30 wt % naphtha, and 50 wt % or more diesel.

  • Patent number: 11257325
    Abstract: Table-based gaming actions are disclosed where additional prizes or other gains can be awarded after spinning of a first reward determining wheel of chance by spinning of one or more further wheels of chance where the further spinnings are enabled by a previous spin outcome landing on an outcome selecting segment that awards a partial reward and also awards the spinning of the next successive wheel of chance. Each of the successive wheels of chance is different from the others such that a variety of reward possibilities is provided. For one embodiment, a bonus awarding segment of the first wheel has a highest probability of occurrence and a lowest initial payout value.

  • Patent number: 11256923
    Abstract: Particular embodiments extract features for frames from a video. Then, a sequence of frames is identified based on a pattern analysis of frames based on the features. This pattern may be used to select sentinel features from the sequence of frames. For example, a pattern may include a first sentinel sequence followed by a transitional frame and then a second sentinel sequence. The transitional frame may be a black frame that is used to identify back-to-back sentinel sequences. Then, a sentinel frame that demarks a transition from a first content type to a second content type is identified. For example, the frames on either side of the black frame may be very similar and be identified as sentinel frames that mark a transition from program content to advertisement content. The above process may allow automated detection of sentinel frames that can run without user supervision.

  • Patent number: 11256322
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for providing virtual environments that are responsively adaptable to users' characteristics. Embodiments provide for identifying a virtual action to be performed by a virtual representation of a patient within a virtual environment. The virtual action corresponds to a physical action by a physical limb of the patient in the real-world. In embodiments, the virtual action is required to be performed to a first target area within the virtual environment. Embodiments determine that the patient has at least one limitation that limits the patient performing the physical action. A determination of whether the patient has performed the physical action to at least a physical threshold associated is made. The virtual environment is caused to adapt in order to allow the virtual action to be performed in response to the determination that the patient has performed the physical action to the physical threshold.

  • Patent number: 11255279
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel combination of devices to measure and transmit to an electronic controller data pertaining to differential pressures, temperatures, regeneration status, exhaust content, accumulated gas consumption and substitute fuel consumption. The electronic controller compares the data to thresholds; when the controller receives signals indicating these thresholds or limits are met, the controller causes the gas substitution rate to be diminished or set to zero until after-treatments elements are fully regenerated thereby facilitating integration of a mixed fuel system with an application internal combustion engine.

  • Patent number: 11256686
    Abstract: Systems and devices implement scalable implementations of multi-dimensional aggregations with input blending in distributed query processing systems. Multi-dimensional aggregations for identifiers/values designated fields in datasets are performed based on keys. Datasets are sorted by identifier/value and divided into first partitions. Each row of data with a specific sorted-by-identifier/value is only present in one of the first partitions. Keys are generated from each combination of two or more dataset fields, and a blended table of data is generated over the partitions based on each different key combination. Designated data field characteristics are determined for the blended table based on the different key combinations. The characteristics are divided into second partitions based on the keys, where each key is present in only one of the second partitions. A final designated data field characteristic is determined for each row of data in each of the second partitions as the multi-dimensional aggregation.

  • Patent number: 11255509
    Abstract: A lighting device contains light-emitting elements and has an elongated shape. The lighting device has a housing that has reflective side walls extending in a longitudinal direction of the housing; a cavity formed between the reflective side walls; and light-emitting elements arranged at least partially along the longitudinal direction relative to each other in the cavity. An opening of the cavity forms a light-emitting area, A width of the cavity expands from the light-emitting elements towards the opening at least in sections. A reflective element covers at least a section of the opening and reflects a part of light emitted from the light-emitting elements towards the cavity and reduces a width of the light-emitting area compared to a width of the opening.

  • Patent number: 11255607
    Abstract: A method for operating a power-compensated fusion furnace that includes a power control system having one switching device per heating element, power measurement circuitry, a master temperature sensor, and a controller. Each switching device is electrically connected to a respective heating element. The controller, in conjunction with the switching devices, is able to individually control the electrical energy flowing to each heating element, thereby controlling the duty cycle of each heating element. The duty cycles are corrected for one or more of variations in the electrical resistance of each heating element and position-dependent variations in furnace cavity temperature.
