  • Publication number: 20240293264
    Abstract: A device for implantation at a treatment site in the body of a patient for the removal of fluid from the treatment site has a removable conduit structure, a connector, and a porous bioresorbable sheath. The removable conduit structure has two or more pieces and at least in part defines a fluid removal lumen, and the porous bioresorbable sheath surrounds at least a portion of the conduit structure. The connector removably and coaxially couples a first piece of the conduit structure to a second piece of the conduit structure and is configured to decouple from one or both of the conduit pieces upon initiation of removal of the conduit structure from the treatment site upon completion of treatment.

  • Publication number: 20240259531
    Abstract: A computing system is described. The computing system is configured to receive, from a portal device of a premises monitoring system, a first request for a list of compatible pipelines for a premises analytics device of the premises monitoring system, identify a plurality of pipelines that are compatible with the premises analytics device based on a parameter, and transmit the list of compatible pipelines to the portal device. The computing system is further configured to receive, from the portal device, a second request to deploy a user selected pipeline of the plurality of pipelines referenced in the list of compatible pipelines, transmit a command, to a third-party system, to obtain a pipeline deployment based on the user selected pipeline, and receive, from the third-party system, the pipeline deployment based on the user selected pipeline. The pipeline deployment is transmitted to the premises analytics device.

  • Publication number: 20240240323
    Abstract: A reactor system configured to use valve pulsing to control precursor pressure as part of substrate or other processing. A controller in the reactor system runs a pressure control module to process pressure signals from a pressure sensor sensing pressure within an accumulator disposed between a reaction chamber and a precursor source vessel. Based on a pressure set point for the accumulator and the sensed pressure feedback, the controller generates valve control or valve pulsing signals to operate one or more fill valves used to control fill of the accumulator with gas (e.g., precursor) from the precursor source vessel. The fill valves may be high-speed diaphragm valves configured for operation in high temperature applications to be fully opened or fully closed, and the control signals cause the valves to rapidly pulse open and closed to adjust the pressure within the accumulator.

  • Publication number: 20240232209
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosed technologies include generating a reward score for an entity. A rate distribution is determined using the reward score and a number of times the entity has been selected for ranking. A sampled rate value is generated by sampling the rate distribution. A probability score is generated for a pair of the entity and a user based on the sampled rate value. A probability distribution is determined using the probability score. A sampled probability value is generated by sampling the probability distribution. A machine learning model is trained using the sampled probability value.

  • Publication number: 20240202754
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for identifying prospects based on a prospect model. A set of primary features are extracted from historical data for an opportunity between an organization and an entity. A data container is generated to represent the set of primary features and a set of secondary features associated with the entity. Neighboring data containers, within a set of data containers that includes the data container, are grouped into data container groups. A data container group is selected to represent a combination of features of the entity predicted to yield the opportunity for the organization. The combination of features are used to generate and transmit content to the entity.

  • Patent number: 12002057
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a predictive contextual transaction scoring system receives transaction review data associated with person-to-person transactions from a marketplace, the transaction review data including feedback information relating to the person-to-person transaction. The system identifies contextual characteristics of the person-to-person transactions by analyzing the feedback information related to the person-to-person transactions. The system pairs a first party requesting a service to a second party providing the requested service by matching a contextual characteristic of the first party to a contextual characteristic of the second party. The system also predicts a transaction score for a new person-to-person transaction involving the first party and the second party, and provides the predicted transaction score to the marketplace to facilitate pairing of the first party requesting the service.

  • Publication number: 20240144558
    Abstract: In some implementations, a monitoring system may capture a set of screenshots that depict behavior associated with a bot during an automation run. The monitoring system may obtain one or more logs that include information describing the behavior of the bot during the automation run. The monitoring system may create, based on a portion of the set of screenshots, video data that includes a sequence of frames related to an anomaly or a failure event that occurred during the automation run. The monitoring system may annotate, based on the information included in the one or more logs, the sequence of frames with metadata describing the behavior of the bot. The monitoring system may provide, to a user device, user interface data that includes the video data and the metadata used to annotate the sequence of frames.

  • Patent number: 11953954
    Abstract: A variable holder module secures a variety of different expansion cards that may be installed within a computer or other information handling system. The holder module has a multi-sided component that is orientable according to which expansion card is to be secured within the computer. Each side of the component may thus correspond to a different one of the expansion cards. Once the expansion card is determined, a human or robotic picker need only orient component to the side that corresponds to the make/model of the expansion card. The holder module is thus adaptable to secure many different expansion cards that may be installed within the computer.
