  • Handling out-of-order data during stream processing and persisting it in a temporal graph database
    Patent number: 11983222
    Abstract: The present technology addresses deficiencies associated with common practices for handling out of order data in a streaming data database. An aspect of the present technology is avoid storing out of order data in a snapshot but just store the out of order data as additional data linked to the temporal graph. The present technology receives out of order data and records a modification time for the data and a next modification time for the data that equals a timestamp of data previously stored in the database. If there is also data in the database for a time earlier than the timestamp of the out of order data, the earlier data is adjusted so that its next modification time matches the timestamp of the out of order data.

    Patent number: 11983395
    Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for dynamically modifying electronic content presented on a user device by third-party content providers based on goals associated with one or more entities. A content modification system may receive inputs related to goals for a user. The content modification system may synthesize the goals associated with the user. When the user uses a user device to request content from a third-party server, the content modification system may obtain the content and extract items included within the content. The content modification system may modify the content based on the synthesized goals, such as re-arranging the items, highlighting some of the items, or adding and/or removing items. The content modification system may cause the user device to present the modified content.

    Patent number: 11984187
    Abstract: Methods and devices for dynamic allocation of a capacitive component in a memory device are described. A memory device may include one or more voltage rails for distributing supply voltages to a memory die. A memory device may include a capacitive component that may be dynamically coupled to a voltage rail based on an identification of an operating condition on the memory die, such as a voltage droop on the voltage rail. The capacitive component may be dynamically coupled with the voltage rail to maintain the supply voltage on the voltage rail during periods of high demand. The capacitive component may be dynamically switched between voltage rails during operation of the memory device based on operating conditions associated with the voltage rails.

  • Protection system for electromagnetic relay
    Patent number: 11982574
    Abstract: A protection system for an electromagnetic relay mounted on a vehicle is configured to protect the electromagnetic relay from causing a coupling failure due to freezing of the electromagnetic relay. The system includes a temperature detector, a cooler, and a control unit. The temperature detector sequentially measures an ambient temperature of a location in which the electromagnetic relay is disposed and outputs information on a change in the ambient temperature. The cooler cools an electric power line coupled to a fixing terminal of the electromagnetic relay. The control unit activates the cooler to cool the electric power line in a case where the control unit determines that the electromagnetic relay has a possibility of freezing on the basis of the information on the change in the ambient temperature from the temperature detector.
