  • Publication number: 20250238475
    Abstract: In some implementations, a web instance may receive an indication of an event associated with a uniform resource locator (URL) that includes a slug. The web instance may determine, using an indicator encoded in the slug, that the URL is associated with an action that is included in a concurrency control group. The web instance may communicate with a remote database to determine whether the concurrency control group is locked. The web instance may selectively trigger execution of the action based on whether the concurrency control group is locked.

  • Patent number: 12323416
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for using a user location as a security factor for online services. Upon receiving from a computing device of a user a request for a digital service allowed in a geofence, a first computer hosting a digital service provider generates an original one-time password (OTP) and sends the original OTP to a second computer hosting a communication service provider. The second computer encrypts the original OTP using a private key for a mobile network cell communicating with a mobile device of the user and sends an encrypted OTP to the mobile device. Upon receiving the encrypted OTP from the computing device, the first computer decrypts the encrypted OTP, using public keys for one or more cells covering the geofence. Upon determining a decrypted OTP matches the original OTP, the first computer allows the digital service to be provided.

  • Publication number: 20250147637
    Abstract: A user interface for working through workflows can include a dual-region approach. The first display region can display a series of workflows that an assigned worker (“assignee”) may have. Each of the workflows can have one or more tasks associated therewith. Each workflow and/or task can be associated with one or more triggers that initiate the assignment of that workflow and/or task. In response to selection of a workflow or task, the second display region can display information associated with the workflow or task.

  • Publication number: 20250131183
    Abstract: In some implementations, a web host may receive a configuration file associated with at least one action. The web host may determine, using the configuration file, that the at least one action is controlled for concurrency. Accordingly, the web host may generate a URL for the at least one action. The URL may include a slug, and the slug may include an identifier associated with the action and at least one bit indicating that the action is controlled for concurrency.

  • Patent number: 12122098
    Abstract: A configurable printing bed for a 3D printer includes a bed surface and linear actuators. The bed surface includes bed surface portions. Each of the bed surface portions is supported for independent movement. At least one of the bed surface portions includes a head that is twistable. When each of the bed surface portions is positioned at a reference level, the bed surface portions form different parts of a common plane. Each of the linear actuators is connected to at least one of the bed surface portions, respectively. The linear actuators are configured to generate the independent movement of the bed surface portions and to effect positioning of the bed surface portions. The linear actuators are configured to lower the bed surface portions in a staggered manner so that a release wave is generated and used to remove a 3D printed object from the printing bed.

  • Patent number: 12085764
    Abstract: A connection system for a printed circuit board employs either an inline or transverse board-mounted connector for holding board-mounted optical fibers. A plug-in connector can blind mate with the board-mounted connector. The plug-in connector has a plug-in connector body, a plug-in ferrule, and a plug-in ferrule holder. The plug-in holder latches with the plug-in connector body at either of two positions to selectively configure the plug-in connector for blind mating with either the inline or transverse board-mounted connector. The board-mounted fibers can be supported by a board-mounted ferrule assembly including a ferrule and a ferrule holder that is configured to selectively attach the board-mounted ferrule assembly to either of an inline board-mounted connector body and a transverse board-mounted connector body.

  • Patent number: 12028177
    Abstract: A system for using generative AI to automate electronic communication responses includes receiving, from an initiating entity, an electronic communication at a receiving entity. The system provides the electronic communication to a large language model (LLM). The system provides instructions to the LLM, causing the LLM to evaluate the electronic communication to determine whether a meeting is requested, to produce a meeting indicator, to evaluate the electronic communication to determine if there are one or more tasks, to produce a task list, and to produce a responsive electronic communication based on user-defined rules. The system receives a dataset from the LLM. If a meeting is requested, the system identifies mutually available meeting times between the initiating and receiving entities. The system sends a meeting invitation at a mutually available meeting time. The system sends the responsive electronic communication. The system generates the tasks from the task list.
