  • Patent number: 12226566
    Abstract: A negative pressure source can be fluidically connected to the wound dressing, the wound dressing can be positioned to cover at least a portion of the wound, and the negative pressure source can be controlled to supply negative pressure to the wound via the fluid flow path. An actuator of the negative pressure source can be controlled to operate in a dual mode by transitioning between a proportional-integral (PI) control or proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control and a pulsed control. Stalling of the actuator can be prevented, and therapy can be provided without interruptions.

  • Publication number: 20250053817
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for adversarially generated communication. In some implementations, first information is used as input for a generator machine-learning network. Information is taken from both the generator machine-learning network and target information that includes sample signals or other data. The information is sent to a discriminator machine-learning network which produces decision information including whether the information originated from the generator machine-learning network or the target information. An optimizer takes the decision information and performs one or more iterative optimization techniques which help determine updates to the generator machine-learning network or the discriminator machine-learning network.

  • Publication number: 20250056774
    Abstract: A method for managing electromagnetic interference (EMI) includes: obtaining a request; in response to the request: terminating EMI generation by EMI emitting devices in an EMI suppressed internal volume of a data processing device to place the EMI emitting devices in a quiet state; placing the EMI suppressed internal volume into an EMI suppression compromised state to obtain access to the EMI emitting devices in the quiet state; replacing one of the EMI emitting devices in the quiet state, to obtain updated EMI emitting devices, while: the EMI suppressed internal volume is in the EMI suppression compromised state, and the EMI emitting devices are in the quiet state; placing the EMI suppressed internal volume into an EMI suppressed state after replacing the one of the EMI emitting devices; and enabling EMI generation by the updated EMI emitting devices to place the updated EMI emitting devices into an active state.

  • Publication number: 20250053402
    Abstract: A device which runs software applications includes a network interface, a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and at least one processor. The device identifies that a link for installation of a new software application is selected by user interaction with a software application that is running on the device. In response to the identification, an installation client is invoked to run in the background on the device without exiting the currently-running software application. The installation client is instructed to automatically download an installation file of the new software application over the network using the network interface. The new software application is installed on the device using the downloaded installation file.

  • Publication number: 20250053545
    Abstract: A plurality of computing devices are communicatively coupled to each other via a network, and each of the plurality of computing devices is operably coupled to one or more of a plurality of storage devices. A plurality of failure resilient address spaces are distributed across the plurality of storage devices such that each of the plurality of failure resilient address spaces spans a plurality of the storage devices. The plurality of computing devices maintains metadata that maps each failure resilient address space to one of the plurality of computing devices. The metadata is grouped into buckets. Each bucket is stored in a group of computing devices. However, only the leader of the group is able to directly access a particular bucket at any given time.
