  • Patent number: 12284217
    Abstract: A cross-domain data access service enables data access across two or more computing domains, such as, for example, transient access by a public device to data held in a private cloud. In particular, the cross-domain data access service can identify a data subset from within a secure datastore of a first computing domain. The cross-domain data access service can replicate the data subset within a transient datastore that is segregated from the secured datastore. The cross-domain data access service can implement a data access policy so as to enable a client device from a second domain to access the transient datastore.

  • Patent number: 12283808
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a device and associated method for electrolysis from photovoltaically generated DC power, including an electrolyzer and a DC/DC converter. The DC/DC converter feeds DC power to the electrolyzer, the DC power is generated by a photovoltaic (PV) sub-generator connected to the DC/DC converter. The PV sub-generator is connected to the DC/DC converter via a first disconnector that is coupled to an isolation monitoring structure in such a way that closure of the first disconnector requires a successful check for sufficient isolation of the PV sub-generator. The PV sub-generator has a main string and a second disconnector arranged between the main string and the first disconnector. The second disconnector is coupled to a fault current monitoring circuit in such a way that the second disconnector is opened in the event that a predefinable limit value of the fault current is exceeded.

  • Patent number: 12283136
    Abstract: The present disclosure generates a digital twin of the interior of a vehicle to initiate and track maintenance issues. In one aspect, the digital twin is formed using multiple captured images of the interior of the vehicle where multiple components in those images are identified using a machine learning (ML) model. The components identified by the ML model are then mapped to a model (e.g., a 3D model) of the components that lists their location in the vehicle and an identifier (e.g., a part number or serial number). In this manner, the digital twin can identify, using the identifiers, the various components in the images captured by a camera.

  • Publication number: 20250125335
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing partially reacted silicon for the control of the lithium intercalation capacity, for use in lithium batteries, wherein a first silicon layer is deposited on a substrate, the first silicon layer subsequently being subjected to rapid thermal processing. The invention also relates to an anode thereby produced. The problem addressed by the present invention of specifying a method that allows control of the capacity of ion intercalation into functional layers for battery production is solved in that a layer of silicon, metal and/or another material is applied as a diffusion barrier, which is subjected to subsequent rapid thermal processing, and partially reacted silicon is formed. (The structure of the diffusion barrier makes the diffusion barrier permeable to lithium.

  • Publication number: 20250126677
    Abstract: A RL agent performs a RL process to configure at least one Discontinuous Reception, DRX, cycle for a User Equipment, UE. An action is selected by the RL agent in an action space. Each action in the action space corresponds to a DRX cycle configuration. The RL agent sends to the UE indication to use the DRX cycle configuration corresponding to the selected action. The RL agent receives state information computed over at least one DRX cycle configured based on a DRX cycle configuration indicated by the RL agent. The RL agent computes a reward on the basis of the state information.

  • Publication number: 20250123168
    Abstract: A system includes a control unit configured to receive one or more force signals from one or more force sensors coupled to one or both of a tool or an end effector. The one or more force signals are indicative of one or more forces exerted in relation to the tool or the end effector as the tool operates on one or more components to form an expanded hole. The control unit is further configured to compare the one or more forces in relation to force data associated with a reference expanded hole that is aligned with an alignment hole of the one or more components. The control unit is further configured to determine that the expanded hole caused a deformation when the one or more forces differ from the force data.
