  • Patent number: 12003655
    Abstract: Components of a public certificate authority (CA) generate respective cryptographic assertions during performance of respective tasks of a certificate issuance workflow and a workflow approval component approves/rejects certificate issuance, based upon verification of the cryptographic assertions. For example, a workflow manager may assign tasks of a certificate workflow process to a number of components that process the tasks. The components generate responses and sign the respective responses with keys particular to each component. The workflow manager gathers the cryptographic assertions and sends them to a workflow approval component that validates the assertions, verifies the assertions indicate successful completion of the workflow and approves or rejects certificate issuance.

  • Patent number: 12003865
    Abstract: To enable HDR video signals of a plurality of signal interfaces to be satisfactorily handled. [Solution] A processing unit processes a linear high dynamic range video signal and obtains a high dynamic range video signal that has undergone a grayscale compression process. The processing unit is able to perform grayscale compression processes of a plurality of signal interfaces. For example, when a grayscale compression process of another signal interface other than a reference signal interface is performed, the processing unit further performs a process of adding characteristics of system gamma of the reference signal interface and a process of cancelling out characteristics of system gamma of the other signal interface.

  • Patent number: 12000608
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a system, method, and non-transitory computer readable medium for operating an energy plant. In one aspect, a system determines a ratio of flow rates between devices of the energy plant connected in parallel with each other in a branch. The system generates a candidate set of operating parameters of the devices according to the ratio of flow rates. The system predicts thermodynamic states of the devices operating according to the candidate set of operating parameters. The system determines whether the predicted thermodynamic states satisfy constraints of the devices. The system determines whether the predicted thermodynamic states satisfy a target thermal energy load of the branch based on the ratio of the flow rates. The system operates the energy plant according to the candidate set of operating parameters, in response to determining that the predicted thermodynamic states satisfy the constraints and the target thermal energy load.
