  • Patent number: 12182093
    Abstract: A method includes performing a search of an inverted index structure indexing values of a column to generate an in-range indexed value set by identifying all indexed values of the inverted index structure falling within a range corresponding to a range-based filter. A set of characteristics of the in-range indexed value set are identified based on performing the search of an inverted index structure. When the set of characteristics compare favorably to the set of index-usage requirements, output is generated based on performing a plurality of searches to the inverted index structure based on the in-range indexed value set. When the set of characteristics compare unfavorably to the set of index-usage requirements, the output is generated without performing any searches to the inverted index structure.

  • Patent number: 12179766
    Abstract: A sensor system for a vehicle includes first and second sensors onboard different vehicles. The sensors sense one or more environmental parameters. A controller receives a first signal output by the first sensor that indicates a value of the one or more environmental parameters sensed by the first sensor. The controller may control operation of a power component of the first vehicle using the value of the one or more environmental parameters received from the first sensor. The controller may detect undesirable operation of the first sensor and transition to receiving a second signal output by the second sensor that indicates the value of the one or more environmental parameters. The controller may control the operation of the power component of the first vehicle using the value of the one or more environmental parameters received from the second sensor.

  • Patent number: 12182250
    Abstract: Credentials management and usage in application modernization can be implemented as computer-readable methods, media and systems. A notification identifying an application modernization operation is received. The operation is to be performed on an application deployed by multiple resources arranged in multiple hierarchical levels. A resource residing at a hierarchical level of the multiple hierarchical levels is identified. The application modernization operation is to be performed on the identified resource which has a resource type. A search for a credential is performed. The credential grants access to the resource to enable performing the application modernization operation. In response to the searching, a credential included in the multiple credentials is identified. The identified credential grants access either to the resource or to resources of the resource type. In response to receiving the notification, the identified credential is provided.

  • Patent number: 12182590
    Abstract: A lock may be acquired on a virtual memory of a target process, where the virtual memory of the target process may include import dependency data of a marker library. An injection driver may be executed within the context of the target process when the marker library is loaded by the target process, where executing the injection driver within the context of the target process may enable the injection driver to modify virtual memory tables within the target process. The import dependency data of the marker library may be modified by the injection driver to include an injection library as a dependency of the marker library. After the modified import dependency data is used to load the injection library into the target process, the modified import dependency data may be reverted to an original state.

  • Patent number: 12179730
    Abstract: A system for braking a vehicle includes an operator interface that transmits a brake command signal when actuated by a vehicle operator. When the interface is not actuated and does not transmit the signal, a controller receives signals indicative of whether the vehicle is in an active or inactive state from two different sources and determines that the vehicle is in the inactive state if both of the signals indicate the vehicle is in the inactive state. The controller receives another signal indicative of a speed of the vehicle and determines whether the speed of the vehicle meets a predetermined condition relative to a predetermined speed of the vehicle. The controller generates a control signal to apply a wheel parking brake on the vehicle after determining that the vehicle is the inactive state and determining that the speed of the vehicle meets the predetermined condition relative to the predetermined speed.

  • Patent number: 12178245
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described for use with a portion of plant material that includes at least one active ingredient. A vaporizing unit includes a heating element configured to heat the plant material, and a sensor configured to detect an indication of airflow rate through the vaporizing unit. Control circuitry is configured to receive an indication of the airflow rate through the vaporizing unit, and, in response thereto, to determine a smoking profile that is desired by the user. The control circuitry drives the heating element to vaporize the active ingredient of the plant material by heating the plant material according to the determined smoking profile. The control circuitry dynamically updates the smoking profile in response to changes in airflow rate over the course of a smoking session. Other applications are also described.
