  • Patent number: 12180774
    Abstract: A hinge includes a hinge body, a self-close mechanism disposed within the hinge body, and a slow-close mechanism disposed within the hinge body. The hinge body has a first portion and a second portion, the first portion is rotatable with respect to the second portion between an open position and a closed position. The self-close mechanism applies a closing force on the first portion from a first angle of rotation between the first portion and the second portion to the closed position, the closing force urging the first portion to the closed position. The slow-close mechanism applies a damping force on the first portion from a second angle of rotation between the first portion and the second portion to the closed position, the damping force slowing a rotational speed of the first portion to the closed position.

  • Patent number: 12179085
    Abstract: An golf tournament simulation method may include generating predicted hole scores for each hole of each round of a golf tournament. Historical shot data corresponding to a historical occurrence of one or more hole events may be utilized as weight to generate predicted outcomes of hole events for each hole. A score probability distribution may be assigned to the predicted outcomes to generate predicted hole scores. Simulations may be analyzed for predicted outcome probabilities such as win probability, cutline, or Top-10 finish probability. The simulations may be updated during actual play by replacing predicted scores with actual scores. Predicted outcome probabilities may be updated based on the updated simulations updated to include the actual scores.

  • Patent number: 12185236
    Abstract: A network function receives, from a radio access network (RAN), a message indicating a wireless device identifier of a wireless device, one or more requested network slices requested by the wireless device, isolation of the one or more requested network slices from one or more other network slices, and access and mobility management function (AMF) discovery. The network function sends, to a unified data management (UDM), a subscriber data request message indicating the wireless device identifier and the one or more requested network slices. The network function receives, from the UDM, a subscriber data response message indicating one or more allowed network slices that the wireless device is allowed to access. The network function determines, based on the network slice isolation information, an address of an AMF that serves the one or more allowed network slices and does not serve the one or more other network slices.

  • Patent number: 12182116
    Abstract: The disclosed architecture leverages realtime continuous event processing (CEP) to address using a general input interface framework to import a dynamic set of event types (e.g., assets), and using a declarative, expressive query model to implement monitoring and management tasks on an asset level. This is in contrast to looking separately at single values from static databases and/or realtime streams as is common conventionally. The architecture uses the CEP data model to model assets as realtime event types. Thus, queries can be formulated per asset and not just per single stream. The architecture uses the query capabilities of CEP to formulate asset management and monitoring tasks as standing, declarative queries, and uses the input interface of a CEP platform to correlate data from different data sources with different dynamic properties.

  • Patent number: 12182241
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for verification of identity of individuals based on images obtained by two cameras. A first stream of images of an individual are obtained from a first camera. Gamma correction is applied to images of the first stream of images. A second stream of images of the individual is obtained simultaneously with the first stream of images from a second camera, where gamma correction is not applied to images of the second stream of images. An identity of the individual is verified by providing the first stream of images and the second stream of images for independent automated matching with an authentication image. The authentication image is an image of the individual from a verified source.
