  • Patent number: 12147755
    Abstract: Described herein is a computer implemented method for generating webpage data. The method includes processing a set of design element objects to generate a set of element-grid records, each record corresponding to a design element and including a unique column start, a unique column end, a column start offset and a column end offset. The set of element-grid records is processed to generate a webpage grid definition that defines a grid including a plurality of columns and a plurality of rows. A first design element and a second design element have a same horizontal start position and the webpage grid definition defines: a unique column start gridline for the first design element; a unique column start gridline for the second design element; and a zero-width first column between the first and second column gridlines.

  • Patent number: 12146507
    Abstract: An air blower has an inlet muffler and an outlet muffler to reduce the noise of the air blower during operation. Each of the mufflers may have two sections. One section is configured to attenuate high frequency noise and the other section is configured to attenuate lower frequency noise. A tubular internal wall in each of the mufflers defines the through passage for each of the mufflers. A noise absorbent material may be fitted about the tubular wall within each muffler. A plurality of holes are formed along the tubular wall of each through passage to expose the through passage to the noise absorbent material. A heater plenum may be interposed between the blower plenum and the outlet muffler to heat the air from the blower plenum. A filter at the input muffler filters the air sucked into the air blower.

  • Publication number: 20240365238
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium are provided that improve power management for devices communicating via Bluetooth (BT) over Internet Protocol (BTOIP). The apparatus for wireless communication for a first device receives a first set of packets from a second device during a time period associated with a training phase for the first device. The apparatus determines an arrival time of a first packet of the first set of packets. The apparatus determines, based on the arrival time and a wakeup time interval, a wakeup time for the first device. The apparatus causes, based on the wakeup time for the first device and one or more attributes associated with the first set of packets, a shutdown of the first device.

  • Patent number: 12131367
    Abstract: A computer method for identifying product in a distributor's inventory system that fulfills a product request made via a natural language query. the natural language query is received as a product request including multiple words in sequential order. The words are vectorized into word-vectors that are concatenated and used to generate a query embedding. The query embedding is processed utilizing a trained product category classifier that predicts which product category the requested product belongs. Forward and backward sequence vectors are generated from the sequentially ordered words of the query that are concatenated and processed using a trained model specific to the predicted product category. The sequence vectors represent positional relationships between the words of the natural language query. Thereafter, the system identifies product attribute(s) embodied in the natural language query that each correspond to a predetermined key-characteristic of the category.

  • Patent number: 12105842
    Abstract: The technology disclosed allows for leveraging decentralized credentials to achieve bidirectional authentication between two actors leveraging a messaging platform/system, such as email or another text-based system, verifiable credentials (VCs), and secure web endpoints. It empowers one party (“Sender”) to send a message enclosed with a Verifiable Presentation which allows another party (“Recipient”) to authenticate the message's provenance and the identity of the sender. Moreover, the message contains a link to a secure web endpoint, where the recipient can submit a response signed by their own Verifiable Presentation, allowing the Sender to authenticate the identity of the Recipient. In this way, both participants are able to authenticate each other's identities with an additional factor of authentication, with neither participant being required to share a single service.

  • Publication number: 20240299878
    Abstract: Described in the present application are methods of producing silane-crosslinked polymer membranes at moderate temperatures using acid catalysts that, in certain embodiments, result in membranes with unexpectedly high permeabilities and selectivities. In certain embodiments, grafting and crosslinking of the silanes occur by immersing a preformed membrane in a solution comprising a silane and an acid catalyst. Alternatively, in certain embodiments, grafting of silanes to a polymer occurs in the presence of acid catalyst in solution and subsequent casting and drying produces crosslinked membranes. In certain embodiments, an acid catalyst is a weak acid catalyst. Also described in the present application are asymmetric crosslinked polymer membranes with porous layers. In certain embodiments, crosslinked cellulose acetate membranes have permeability up to an order of magnitude greater than the permeability of unmodified cellulose acetate membranes.
