  • Publication number: 20250134406
    Abstract: An intracranial pressure measurement device has a first plate abutting a patient's dura mater and displaced from a second plate abutting an endocranial surface of the patient's skull. The displacement of the first plate and second plate during elevated intracranial pressures are indicated visually on the device and visible through, e.g., X-ray imaging. This allows the intracranial pressure to be correlated to the mechanical displacement of the first plate from the second plate.

  • Patent number: 12277619
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for dynamically matching requestor devices to generate efficient transportation groups that satisfy user-selected arrival deadlines. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems generate timeslots corresponding to a transportation request including pick-up times, arrival deadlines, and transportation values. In response to receiving user selections of timeslots, the disclosed systems can partition requestor devices into sets of requestor devices. Additionally, the disclosed systems can utilize the sets of requestor devices to match compatible requestor devices to both maximize system efficiency and satisfy selected arrival deadlines for each requestor device.

  • Patent number: 12277124
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for query processing with restrictions in a database clean room. In an embodiment, a system receives a query directed to a combination of a first source dataset from a first database account of a distributed database and a second source dataset from a second database account of the distributed database. The system generates an approved statements table that contains database statement language that can be executed against the combination of the first and second source datasets. Based on determining that the approved statements table includes the query, the system executes the query to produce results data, and stores the results data in the first database account.

  • Patent number: 12273262
    Abstract: A method of detecting latency in message delivery in a communication network is disclosed. One or more data centers receives messages that are to be published via the communication network. The system receives queries from subscribers, processes the queries and transmits messages to the subscribers in response to the queries. The subscribers acknowledge the messages. The system uses its own processing time and the acknowledgement time to assess latency in message delivery. The system also may use the information to determine which data center or geographic location is experiencing relatively higher latency than other data centers or locations.

  • Publication number: 20250086319
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure may provide a data clean room allowing secure data analysis across multiple accounts, without the use of third parties. Each account may be associated with a different company or party. The data clean room may provide security functions to safeguard sensitive information. For example, the data clean room may restrict access to data in other accounts. The data clean room may also restrict which data may be used in the analysis and may restrict the output. The overlap data may be anonymized to prevent sensitive information from being revealed.

  • Patent number: 12247829
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for selecting an optimal value for an adjustable parameter of a structured light metrology (SLM) system, for scanning an object. The SLM system performs test scans of the object to acquire a plurality of sets of measurements of the object, wherein a different value is used for the parameter for each test scan. For each test scan, a value of a quality metric is calculated, based on the set of measurements of the object associated with the test scan and simulation data representing a simulated scan of the object by the SLM system. A test scan is then identified that has a quality metric value that satisfies a specified optimization criterion; and a value of the adjustable parameter that was used for the identified test scan is selected as the optimal value of the adjustable parameter, for scanning the object.

  • Publication number: 20250077453
    Abstract: Read commands and write commands are issued by a data storage device, but sometimes a read command can begin execution prior to the data for the write command having been written to the memory device (or HMB DRAM). In such a scenario, the data for the read command is not in the memory device, but rather, is in cache waiting to be written to the memory device in a write cache operation. In order to ensure the correct data is read, the cache write operation can be paused so that the data can be retrieved from cache rather than the memory device. Alternatively, a placeholder can be used for the read command until the write cache operation has occurred.
