  • Patent number: 12360954
    Abstract: A method facilitating an update to a file system comprises storing a set of transaction log entries at log space of a storage log associated with the file system, the transaction log entries comprising instructions for fulfilling a set of transactions that define change to the file system, assigning, in an ordered sequence corresponding to a sequence order of journalling of the set of transaction log entries to the log space, transaction markers to a set of transaction marker lists, wherein the transaction markers reference the set of transaction log entries, and, for individual transaction markers of the transaction markers, preventing reuse of the log space corresponding thereto until an evaluation of the set of transaction marker lists results in a determination that writing of all modified system metadata corresponding thereto has been executed and that the transaction marker is set equal to a global head transitioning the transaction markers.

  • Publication number: 20250114531
    Abstract: A syringe containing a high water content product and for use in a drug infusion system is provided. The syringe includes a plunger carrying front and rear o-rings made of a diene rubber compound such as chlorobutyl rubber or bromobutyl rubber to impart very low gas permeability characteristics to the o-rings. The plunger may be molded as a single part or in two parts. If molded as one part with radially-engaging mold portions, the seal glands in the plunger may include parting lines from the mold. If molded as two parts with axially-engaging mold portions, the front seal gland may include a sealing surface and under cut that has no parting line. The o-rings may be surface treated with a lubricant to improve sealing where the molding process gives rise to parting lines in the seal glands, which can result in leak paths on the ID of the o-rings. The o-rings provide a gas-tight sliding seal that can withstand temperature changes from ?25° C. to 40° C.

  • Patent number: 12260749
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for interpreting traffic information for a vehicle. Sensor data is collected from at least one first sensor device of the vehicle. At least one relevant object is determined within the sensor data based on a window defined by a plurality of ranges and associated elevations, wherein the plurality of ranges and associated elevations are defined relative to the at least one first sensor device. A confidence score of the at least one relevant object is determined based on an identification of at least one pattern of activity of other objects associated with an intersection. A subset of sensor data is determined from at least one second sensor of the vehicle based on the confidence score of the relevant object. Traffic device data for use in controlling the vehicle is generated based on an evaluation of the subset of sensor data.

In embodiments, a system comprises a motion sensor and a processing device communicatively coupled to the motion sensor. The motion sensor is configured to sense an acceleration wave produced by a sound emitted by a source and generate acceleration measurements in response to sensing the acceleration wave, wherein the source is associated with the body part of a subject. The processing device is configured to receive the acceleration measurements and determine a location of the source using a location of the motion sensor and the acceleration measurements. In addition, the processing device is configured to image the body part of the subject using the determined location of the source and the acceleration measurements.

  • Publication number: 20250080936
    Abstract: A system has an object tracking system to track an object of interest at a live event with a time series sequence of x, y, and z spatial coordinates. An audio capture system has audio capture elements, where each audio capture element has audio capture element configurable parameters. The audio capture system collects audio signals at the live event. An audio ray casting system dynamically produces audio output parameters for the audio capture elements based upon the time series sequence of x, y, and z spatial coordinates and configurable ray casting parameters. A signal mixer processes the audio signals and the audio output parameters to render audio focus on the object of interest at the live event.

Inode numbers associated with user files or directories contained in source slices of the source filesystem can be migrated to and allocated for corresponding first inode slices of the destination filesystem. Provisioner manager component can provision second inode slices of the second subgroup in a second order that can be different from the first order. Inodes associated with inode numbers associated with internal files or directories can be stored in the second inode slices. Source filesystem can be active during the migration process.

  • Publication number: 20250066645
    Abstract: A process for preparing a cement composition comprising an isoolefin-alkylstyrene copolymer and substantially free of an alkylstyrene monomer is described herein. The process comprises reacting the isoolefin monomer with at least a portion of the alkylstyrene monomer in a diluent to form an isoolefin-alkylstyrene copolymer, replacing the diluent with a solvent, reacting a halogenic scavenger with the unreacted alkylstyrene monomer in an absence of a free radical initiator in order to form a halogenic alkylstyrene compound without altering the isoolefin-alkylstyrene copolymer, and removing the halogenic alkylstyrene compound from the slurry to form the cement composition substantially free of the alkylstyrene monomer. Also disclosed herein is a composition comprising an isoolefin-alkylstyrene copolymer and an alkylstyrene monomer comprising a concentration less than about 20 ppm.

  • Publication number: 20250068570
    Abstract: Described is technology that facilitates journalling a transaction log entry to chunks of storage while allowing for obtaining of modified system metadata associated therewith in the case of a computing device issue. An associated method comprises at least storing, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, a set of transaction log entries at log space of a storage log associated with a file system, wherein the transaction log entries comprise instructions for fulfilling a set of transactions, and wherein the transactions define changes to the file system, generating a checkpoint marker corresponding to a set of log storage objects of the storage log at which the transaction log entries are stored, and based on the checkpoint marker, preventing, by the system, reuse of the log space until writing of all modified system metadata corresponding to the transaction log entries has been executed.
