  • Publication number: 20250123575
    Abstract: A method for heating an optical element in an optical system, such as a microlithographic projection exposure system, comprises introducing a heating power into the optical element using a thermal manipulator. The heating power is adjusted to a set of desired values. The set of desired values is adjusted to produce a thermally induced deformation depending on a first optical aberration to be compensated. Adjusting the set of desired values also includes taking into account the effect of introducing the heating power on a second optical aberration which is caused by useful light impinging on the optical element during operation of the optical system. The thermally induced deformation profile can be co-optimized.

  • Publication number: 20250121190
    Abstract: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) can be used to treat many neurological conditions beyond traditional movement disorders. When patients do not suffer from traditional movement disorders, medical professionals cannot use traditional observation-based methods to configure the DBS system. A new method for selecting stimulation configurations can include recording internal data and external data as the patient performs (or attempts to perform) a motor task. The internal data is electrophysiology data recorded by a plurality of DBS electrodes, used to identify at least one of the plurality of electrodes closest to a neuronal population involved in control of the at least one motor task. The external data is electroencephalogram (EEG) data recorded by scalp electrodes, which is used to select at least one of the potential stimulation electrodes to deliver the DBS. When the electrode(s) delivering the DBS are selected, optimal parameters for the DBS are then chosen.

  • Publication number: 20250124215
    Abstract: Document summarization includes receiving an origin document. Document summarization additionally includes a segmentation of the text of the origin document into different text sections and the submission of the different text sections to a large language model (LLM) through a generative AI engine with a pre-cursor directive to prepare for each of the different text sections, a summarization so as to produce a set of summarizations. Document summarization yet further includes a follow-on submission of the summarizations to the LLM of the generative AI engine with the pre-cursor directive to prepare a summarization of the summarizations. Finally, document summarization includes an insertion of the summarization of the summarizations into a summarization document along with each individual summarization of the different text sections and the persistence of the summarization document in the memory.

  • Publication number: 20250125974
    Abstract: An improved approach for the securement of digital objects is proposed, that, as described in various embodiments, can include increased levels of encryption, air-gap segregation, and redundancy for interaction with secure approved client withdrawal addresses. A combination of computational and physical securement approaches are described that provide a practical mechanism for improving security of transactions that are conducted using cryptographic systems that addresses security vulnerabilities related to uncontrolled transaction flow. Specifically, methods are proposed for implementation on computing devices which interact with a two-part air-gapped system that is adapted to control both a secure address approval process, and a withdrawal process to the approved address. These processes operate in combination.

  • Patent number: 12278734
    Abstract: Embodiments provide for the self-registration and automatic inventorying of enterprise Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices in an enterprise environment. An asset inventory agent on a network among many networks (i.e., within the enterprise environment) can receive a data packet from a computing device. The data packet is communicated via the network shared between the asset inventory agent and the computing device. The asset inventory agent can analyze the data packet, which can reveal a communication protocol associated with the computing device. A discovery rule associated with the protocol can be selected to extract inventory information from the data packet. The inventory information can be utilized to generate a distributed ledger transaction, which is communicated to a set of nodes adapted to collectively store the inventory information associated with the computing device onto the distributed ledger.
