  • Patent number: 11966724
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for automatically building automations from desktop recordings using program synthesis. The problem of building automations for desktop applications can be lifted to a generalized concept of automations that operate on worlds whose “world state” can change asynchronously to the actions of the automation. Advantageously, in contrast with synthesis systems that take input-output demonstrations to synthesize a function that maps between them, the method presented here can synthesize from time-series traces of actions to automations that generalizes each step.

  • Patent number: 11968297
    Abstract: This document describes techniques that prevent the sharing or leakage of user information. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, by a first MPC server, a request for a selection criterion of at least one interest group to which a user of a client device belongs. The received request does not reveal an identifier of the client device to the first MPC server. In response to receiving the request, the first MPC server determines a set of ordered selection criterion of the at least one interest group retrieved from a cache of the first MPC server. The set of ordered selection criterion is transformed into a set of key/value pairs secured from being revealed by the second MPC server. The first MPC server transmits the set of key/value pairs to the second MPC server with data that enables the second MPC server to identify a key having a highest value.

  • Patent number: 11963934
    Abstract: A docking station for removable connection to an enteral feeding pump enables automated flushing of an administration set loaded in the enteral feeding pump. The docking station may have a valve seat configured to receive a switchable flow valve of the administration set, a flush controller, an actuator connected to the flush controller and configured to releasably mate with the switchable flow valve when the switchable flow valve is received by the valve seat, and data communication means by which data signals sent by the enteral feeding pump are inputted to the flush controller of the docking station when the enteral feeding pump is connected to the docking station. In operation, the flush controller may receive a flush command sent by the enteral feeding pump and transmit a control signal to the actuator for switching the switchable flow valve to a flush position in response to the flush command.

  • Patent number: 11963462
    Abstract: A memory device has a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) element that includes a free layer structure, a free/pinned layer structure, and a tunnel barrier structure between the free layer structure and the free/pinned layer structure. A first electrode is coupled to the free layer structure, and a second electrode is coupled to the free/pinned layer structure. Processing circuitry is operatively coupled to the MTJ element. The processing circuitry is configured to apply a voltage to the MTJ element to modulate magnetic anisotropy using an electric field, to enable writing with reduced write currents; issue a charge current to the MTJ element to induce spin-dependent writing and magnetic spin accumulation in the free layer structure to set a bit state of the MTJ element, using spin-transfer torque into the free layer structure; and remove the voltage from the MTJ element that modulates the magnetic anisotropy, to perform a write operation.

  • Patent number: 11957852
    Abstract: A balloon catheter has a central tube that is configured to both structurally support and inflate a balloon membrane. The central tube has a lumen and sidewall inflation ports that provide a path for inflating the balloon. The lumen of the central tube is obstructed by a distal end piece, nose piece, or other structure to prevent fluid from exiting a distal end of the central tube. The central tube is configured such that, during inflation, inflation media is allowed to pass through an elongated shaft of the catheter, into a proximal open end of the central tube, and through the inflation ports into the balloon. The central tube can slide longitudinally in relation to the shaft to longitudinally elongate and/or truncate the balloon.

  • Patent number: 11952581
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production of polyunsaturated fatty acids in an organism by introducing, into the organism, nucleic acids which encode polypeptides with ?5-elongase activity. Advantageously, these nucleic acids can be expressed in the organism together with further nucleic acids which encode polypeptides of the biosynthesis of the fatty acid or lipid metabolism. Especially advantageous are nucleic acids which encode ?6-desaturases, ?5-desaturases, ?4-desaturases and/or ?6-elongases. These desaturases and elongases are advantageously derived from Thalassiosira, Euglena or Ostreococcus. The invention furthermore relates to a process for the production of oils and/or triacylglycerides with an elevated content of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, and oils and/or triacylglycerides thus obtained.
