  • Patent number: 11431672
    Abstract: Techniques for generating internet domain name suggestions using machine learning are presented. Some techniques include obtaining sets of domain names, each set of domain names including domain names that concern a selected topic, training machine learning algorithms, such that trained language models are produced, each trained language model concerning a different selected topic, obtaining a seed domain name, identifying a primary topic that the seed domain name concerns, applying to the seed domain name a trained language model of the trained language models that concerns the primary topic, such that a primary proposed domain name is produced, where the primary proposed domain name concerns the primary topic and includes the seed domain name and at least one of a prefix or a suffix, and offering to register the primary proposed domain name.

  • Patent number: 11429750
    Abstract: Provided is a system and method for executing an encrypted software program within a host platform. The execution may be bifurcated among a trusted module and an untrusted area of the host platform. In one example, the method may include receiving bytecode and encrypted data of a software program, decrypting, via a secure memory area, the encrypted data into decrypted data, executing, via the secure memory area, instructions from the bytecode on the decrypted data to generate execution results, encrypting the generated execution results, and transmitting the encrypted execution results to a remote computing device.

  • Publication number: 20220234930
    Abstract: In a purification method for purifying contaminated water, the contaminated water contained in a purification tank is filtered by a membrane module disposed in the purification tank. An adsorption agent with powdered activated carbon is added to the purification tank at a raw side of the membrane module. The membrane module is aerated by inflow of air from below. The steps of filtering, adding, and aerating are carried out in parallel and/or sequentially. The purification method is used as a stage of a purification process of a wastewater treatment plant prior to introducing the water purified by the purification method into a river, lake or the ocean.

    Abstract: Disclosed are apparatuses and methods for performing atomic layer etching. A method may include supporting and thermally floating a substrate in a processing chamber, modifying one or more surface layers of material on the substrate by chemical adsorption, without using a plasma, while the substrate is maintained at a first temperature, and removing the one or more modified surface layers by desorption, without using a plasma, while the substrate is maintained at a second temperature, the first temperature being different than the second temperature. An apparatus may include a processing chamber and support features configured to support and thermally float a substrate in the chamber, a process gas unit configured to flow a first process gas onto the substrate, a substrate heating unit configured to heat the substrate, and a substrate cooling unit configured to actively cool the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20220185654
    Abstract: A cover layer of a fleece material for an innerspring unit comprising a plurality of pocketed springs is manufactured by supplying at least two longitudinal fleece webs, which extend substantially parallel in a longitudinal direction and are spaced from one another, and repeatedly attaching a transverse fleece web, which extends between the longitudinal fleece webs in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, to the longitudinal fleece webs. The transverse fleece web segments are attached to the longitudinal fleece webs such that they form together with the longitudinal fleece webs a frame-like structure serving as the cover layer.

  • Patent number: 11354218
    Abstract: Provided is a system and method for generating a subset of optimal variations of a software program which allow some statements of the control flow to be exposed to side channels. Furthermore, the subset of optimal variations may be selected based on a security and a performance trade-off analysis. In one example, the method may include identifying a set of statements within a control flow of a software program, generating a plurality of variations of the software program which comprise different subsets of statements which are exposed to side channels, respectively, determining one or more pareto-optimal variations of the software program based on side channel leakage values and performance values of the plurality of variations of the software program, and outputting information about the one or more pareto-optimal variations of the software program to a user device.

  • Publication number: 20220087938
    Abstract: According to the invention, there is provided a pharmaceutically-acceptable composition which is preferably in the form of a spray-dried powder comprising a mixture of: (a) a pharmacologically-effective dosage amount of at least one pharmaceutically-active compound; and (b) a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier material, which carrier material comprises a combination of a disaccharide and a polymeric material. Compositions are suitable for, for example, transmucosal drug delivery, including sublingual and nasal delivery. In the case of nasal delivery, said compositions may be loaded into single- or multiple-use nasal applicators. Preferred pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers in this regard include lactose or trehalose and dextrins (e.g. cyclodextrins or maltodextrins), which may be spray-dried together in combination. Compositions may further comprise one or more alkyl saccharides. Preferred alkyl saccharides include sucrose esters, such as sucrose monolaurate.

  • Publication number: 20210276027
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a rotary atomizer for applying a spray jet of a coating agent (e.g. paint) to a component (e.g. motor vehicle body component). The disclosure provides that the construction dimensions of the rotary atomizer are coordinated in such a way that the air pressure at the outlet opening of the paint nozzle during operation is lower than the air pressure in the nozzle chamber of the bell cup and in the external rinsing channels in order to prevent a backflow of the coating agent from the outlet opening of the paint nozzle backwards in the direction of the nozzle chamber due to the pressure difference.
