Patent number: 12184450Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for adding routable subnets to a logical network that connects multiple machines and is implemented by a software defined network (SDN). The method receives an intent-based API that includes a request to add a routable subnet to the logical network. The method defines (i) a VLAN (virtual local area network) tag associated with the routable subnet, (ii) a first identifier associated with a first logical switch to which at least a first machine in the multiple machines that executes a set of containers belonging to the routable subnet attaches, and (iii) a second identifier associated with a second logical switch designated for the routable subnet. The method generates an API call that maps the VLAN tag and the first identifier to the second identifier. The method provides the API call to a management and control cluster of the SDN.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2022Date of Patent: December 31, 2024Assignee: VMware LLCInventors: Jianjun Shen, Ran Gu, Caixia Jiang, Yves Fauser

Patent number: 12184758Abstract: A peer-to-peer (P2P) distributed data management system (DDMS) may operate as an operating system on which P2P distributed applications are utilized to manage data on distributed ledgers, such as blockchains. The DDMS may enable fast development of secure and scalable enterprise P2P distributed applications that support permanent control of every piece of data on a distributed ledger, synchronization, normalization of the data, and encryption of the data. Security of the data in the distributed ledger means that even if someone hacks into the distributed ledger, access is only gained to one block of data (e.g., single email) and not all blocks of data (e.g., entire email account). The DDMS may be integrated into Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices. The DDMS further automatically supports sequential smart contracts on the distributed ledger.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2021Date of Patent: December 31, 2024Assignee: PrivacyChain, LLCInventors: Christopher J.

Patent number: 12181773Abstract: A truncated non-linear interferometer-based sensor system includes an input port that receives an optical beam and a non-linear amplifier that amplifies the optical beam with a pump beam and renders a probe beam and a conjugate beam. The system's local oscillators have a relationship with the respective beams. The system includes a sensor that transduces an input with the probe beam and the conjugate beam or their respective local oscillators. It includes one or more phase-sensitive detectors that detect a phase modulation between the respective local oscillators and the probe beam and the conjugate beam. Output from the phase-sensitive-detectors is based on the detected phase modulation. The phase-sensor-detectors include measurement circuitry that measure the phase signals. The measurement is the sum or difference of the phase signals in which the measured combination exhibit a quantum noise reduction in an intensity difference or a phase sum or an amplitude difference quadrature.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2023Date of Patent: December 31, 2024Assignee: UT-Battelle, LLCInventors: Raphael C.

Patent number: 12183043Abstract: A computing system may access first alpha values associated with first pixels in a first pixel region of an image and determine a bit budget for encoding the first alpha values. The computing system may then select a first alpha-encoding mode for the first alpha values to reflect a determination that the first alpha values are all fully transparent or all fully opaque, and encode the first alpha values by storing the selected first alpha-encoding mode as part of a metadata without using the bit budget to encode the first alpha values individually. The computing system may then update a record of unallocated bits available for allocation based on the bit budget unused in the encoding of the first alpha values, and allocate, based on the record of unallocated bits, bits to encode a set of alpha values different from the first alpha values.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2023Date of Patent: December 31, 2024Assignee: Meta Platforms Technologies, LLCInventors: Cheng Chang, Zhi Zhou, Richard Webb, Richard Lawrence Greene
