  • Publication number: 20250131447
    Abstract: Systems and methods for configuring authorization expiration. The disclosed systems and methods receive rule data for defining an expiration for transaction authorizations and receive a transaction authorization request for a transaction. If the transaction authorization request is approved, the disclosed systems and methods can compare the transaction data to the rule data to determine whether a match occurs for the transaction data and the rule data. If there is a match, the disclosed systems and methods can set a transaction authorization expiration to the expiration value. The disclosed systems and methods can transmit the transaction data to a ledger system, which is configured to update an available balance based on the transaction data.

  • Patent number: 12274674
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for delivering a therapeutic or other agent to a breastfeeding child are disclosed herein. A delivery system of the systems can include, for example, a wearable device configured to be positioned on a breast during breastfeeding. The delivery system can further include an agent source configured to house the therapeutic or other agent and a fluid source configured to supply a supplemental fluid. The agent source and the fluid source can be fluidly coupled to the wearable device via a connector. When the device is positioned on the breast and the breastfeeding child is breastfeeding, the supplemental fluid mixes with the therapeutic or other agent and flows through the connector into the wearable device and into a mouth of the breastfeeding child.

  • Patent number: 12278286
    Abstract: High voltage isolation devices for semiconductor devices and associated systems, are disclosed herein. The isolation device may support operations of a 3-dimensional NAND memory array of the semiconductor device. In some embodiments, during high voltage operations (e.g., erase operations), the isolation device may provide a high voltage to the memory array while isolating other circuitry supporting low voltage operations of the memory array from the high voltage. The isolation device may include a set of narrow active areas separating the low voltage circuitry from the high voltage and a gate over the narrow active areas. In a further embodiment, the isolation device includes interdigitated narrow active areas and a common gate over the interdigitated narrow active areas to reduce an area occupied by the isolation devices.

  • Publication number: 20250114921
    Abstract: A pipe fitting tool is configured to loosen a first pipe element with respect to a second pipe element. The pipe fitting tool includes a motor, a holdback assembly configured to clamp and hold the second pipe element, the holdback assembly including a fixed jaw, a movable jaw, and a plurality of teeth sections, and a drive assembly. The drive assembly is configured to clamp and rotate the first pipe element with respect to the second pipe element in response to a first linear motion of the reciprocating member, and release the first pipe element in response to a second linear motion of the reciprocating member, the second linear motion being in a direction opposite the first linear motion. At least one of the plurality of teeth sections is pivotally coupled to the fixed jaw.

  • Patent number: 12272005
    Abstract: Some examples of the disclosure are directed to selective display of avatars corresponding to users of electronic devices in a multi-user communication session. In some examples, when immersive content is shared in the communication session, the avatars remain displayed when presenting the content in the three-dimensional environment. In some examples, when perspective-limited immersive content is shared in the communication session, the avatars cease being displayed when presenting the content in the three-dimensional environment. In some examples, when content presented in a full-screen mode is shared in the communication session, the avatars remain displayed when presenting the content in the full-screen mode in the three-dimensional environment. In some examples, when object-bounded content is shared in the communication session, the avatars remain displayed when presenting the object-bounded content in the three-dimensional environment.

  • Patent number: 12257206
    Abstract: A CPR machine (100) is configured to perform, on a patient's (182) chest, compressions that alternate with releases. The CPR machine includes a compression mechanism (148), and a driver system (141) configured to drive the compression mechanism. A force sensing system (149) may sense a compression force, and the driving can be adjusted accordingly if there is a surprise. For instance, driving may have been automatic according to a motion-time profile, which is adjusted if the compression force is not as expected (850). An optional chest-lifting device (152) may lift the chest between the compressions, to assist actively the decompression of the chest. A lifting force may be sensed, and the motion-time profile can be adjusted if the compression force or the lifting force is not as expected.
