  • Publication number: 20250123873
    Abstract: Systems and methods are directed toward proactive and/or reactive notification and connection parameter adjustments responsive to live migration events. When an application or program is migrated to new underlying hardware, messages may be provided to associated senders to dynamically and/or temporarily adjust different connection parameters to reduce a likelihood of determining the connection is inactive. A proactive notification may broadcast status information during the live migration to each node in a network and/or to particular nodes associated with the migrating receiver. A reactive notification may provide a message regarding receiver status responsive to receiving incoming traffic.

  • Publication number: 20250124304
    Abstract: The embodiments are directed to an inferential sensing system, methods and computer program product of an estimator for estimating parameters of complex nonlinear time-varying systems from scarce system output measurements. The estimator comprises a two-step process to accurately estimate the time-varying parameters of the time-varying system based on the input and output sample of the time-varying system. First, multiple filters in the high frequency processing loop, operating independently and concurrently process the input and output samples of the time-varying system to generate a hypersurface comprising time series objects. Each filter is restricted to adapt only a subset of the modeled time-varying parameters. The hypersurface comprising the time series objects is aggregated over several iterations of the high frequency processing loop. Second, the hypersurface is passed through a neural network in the low frequency processing loop to infer estimates of the time-varying system parameters.

  • Patent number: 12274393
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide a cooking apparatus to operate in an automated/robotic environment containing 3 major sub-units: air fryer hood, a rotating or a vibrating pot and an induction heating subunit. The air fryer hood of the air fryer subunit streams high velocity, heated air, circulating it in the cooking pot which is rotated, generating a stirring motion of the food ingredients contained in the said pot. The induction unit which is positioned under the rotating pot base may be used to heat the pot for frying and browning of the food products. The apparatus can be used as a stand alone or incorporated in robotic or automated food preparation systems. The apparatus provides controlled cooking regimes for various recipes and food product requirements and each of the sub-units of the apparatus is independently controlled.
