  • Publication number: 20240265076
    Abstract: A method is disclosed and includes receiving a token request message comprising a real credential or a reference to the real credential, a unique value, and action data from a token requestor, and obtaining a token. The method also includes transmitting the token to the token requestor, and providing the unique value and the action data to a data matching computer. The data matching computer stores the unique value and the action data. The data matching computer subsequently receives a message from a data processing computer comprising the unique value, determines that the received unique value matches the stored unique value, and provides the action data to the data processing computer or performs an action with respect to the action data.

  • Publication number: 20240261764
    Abstract: A solvent extraction process for removing poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from a PFAS laden adsorbent is disclosed. The process comprises introducing a substantially pure solvent at an elevated temperature to a bed of the PFAS laden adsorbent and continuously removing PFAS laden solvent from the adsorbent, wherein the introducing and removing are carried out simultaneously and continuously until a desired amount of PFAS is removed from the adsorbent. Also disclosed is a process for degrading poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) to environmentally benign products. The process comprises providing an aqueous solution containing PFAS at a concentration of greater than 50 ppm; and subjecting the aqueous solution to ultrasound using at least one ultrasonic transducer at a frequency and power and for a time sufficient to degrade substantially all of the PFAS in the solution to carbon dioxide and fluoride.

  • Publication number: 20240265031
    Abstract: Described herein is a method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium for preventing data loss from both producer and consumer systems in continuous availability event-driven applications. The process for preventing data loss may replicate events at the broker level, and selectively receive replica events at the consumer level to account for the case the originally sent event is not received, while conserving computer and network resources. Alternatively, events and replica events may be received in duplicate. In either mode of reception, machine-learning may be used for implementing algorithms which further help to conserve resources and aid in preventing further data loss.

  • Publication number: 20240267098
    Abstract: Beamforming is a vital component in space division multiple access (SDMA) and currently employed sectorial beamforming that radiates throughout sector(s) is not sufficient for next generation communication systems. Hence, massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) having large number of antenna elements is employed in 5G and beyond communication systems that has capability to provide practically realizable SDMA. However, such setups are not economical as large number of antenna elements are employed. Present disclosure provides systems and methods that implement electro-mechanical beam tilting based approach, that uses a single antenna element coupled with a meta-surface mounted on top which provides a directional beam leading to an improvement in signal to noise ratio (SNR). The meta-surface-based beamforming architecture of the system provides an improved bit error rate (BER) and spectral efficiency (SE) with huge reduction in number of antenna elements without using phase-shifter.

  • Publication number: 20240264912
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for automatically failing over all services operating on a primary region to a secondary region upon detection or notification of a fault in the primary region. When a fault exists on the primary region, the method traverses each cluster containing services operating on the primary region and prepares an input file including a list of service names identifying each service operating on the primary region. Referencing the input file, the method fails over each service from the primary region to the secondary region by modifying a service weight corresponding to each service. This failover process of services may be done simultaneously with failing over any databases corresponding to the failed-over services from the primary region to the secondary region. The method may also introduce a sleep time after modifying each service weight to avoid any potential throttling issues.

  • Publication number: 20240265299
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating lightweight or surrogate models using explainability vectors. In some aspects, the system receives a first machine learning model trained to determine resource consumption by a user system. The first machine learning takes as input a first set of features. The system processes the first machine learning model to extract an explainability vector. Based on the explainability vector, the system rearranges the first set of features to generate a second set of features. The system processes the values for the first set of features to generate values for the second set of features corresponding to user profiles and trains a second machine learning model which takes as input the second set of features.

  • Publication number: 20240265097
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for generating group definition sequences for accounts (e.g., user accounts) using action sequence processing and then classifying accounts using those group definition sequences. A plurality of user account actions and corresponding time that each action was taken may be received and based on that information, a sequence of action types sometimes referred to as a time-ordered dataset of action types (e.g., based on a chronological order of the actions) may be generated. The time-ordered dataset of action types may be compared with known time-ordered sequences for a particular user group or user classification. If the time-ordered dataset of action types matches the time-ordered sequences of the particular user group, the user may be classified into that user group.

  • Publication number: 20240264631
    Abstract: A docking board removably coupled to a processor board that does not function when not operatively coupled to the docking board. The docking board sends power to and receive a control signal from the processor board when operatively coupled to the processor board and does not send power and does not receive a control signal when not operatively coupled to the processor board. The docking board is removably coupled to an expansion board that performs a computer function that is not performed by the processor board and the docking board. The docking board sends power and a control signal to the expansion board when the docking board is operatively coupled to the processor board and the expansion board, and does not send power and does not send a control signal to the expansion board when the docking board is not operatively coupled to the processor board and the expansion board.
