  • Publication number: 20250250861
    Abstract: Ladders and ladder components are described herein, including multipurpose and adjustable ladders. In one embodiment, a ladder includes a first assembly having rails and rungs, a second assembly having rails and rungs, and one or more hinges coupling the first and second assemblies together such that the first and second assembly may be positioned relative to one another in at least a position or state and at least a second position or state. A top cap is coupled to the rails of the first assembly, such that when the first and second assemblies are in the first position, the rails of the second assembly do not contact the top cap. When the first and second assemblies are in the second position, each rail of the second assembly is at least partially nested in one of a pair of channels formed in the top cap.

  • Patent number: 12350673
    Abstract: A method includes flowing a first fluid through a first channel of a microfluidic apparatus and flowing a second fluid through a second channel of the microfluidic apparatus. The first fluid comprises biological material and a matrix material and is immiscible with the second fluid. The first and second fluids are combined at a junction to form droplets of the first fluid dispersed in the second fluid in a third channel. Multiple exposures of a droplet in the third channel are captured in a single image, comprising: illuminating a region of the third channel with multiple successive illumination pulses during a single frame of the imaging device; identifying the droplet and determining a velocity or a size of the droplet based on an analysis of the captured exposures; and controlling the flow of the first fluid or second fluid to obtain droplets of a target size or velocity.

  • Publication number: 20250111167
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the technology described herein dynamically determine at least one target LM skill to use to generate an output for an initial prompt without the need for the target LM skill to be included in the original prompt. Embodiments of the technology described herein perform this determination via an intermediate LM skill layer that implements an orchestration loop in a computationally efficient manner that reduces effects of hallucination by identifying one or more target LM skills based on each task identified in the initial prompt. Embodiments of the intermediate LM skill layer are separate from the user device and the LLM. For example, the intermediate LM skill layer is positioned between an LLM abstraction layer and an application layer by which a user can interface with the intermediate LM skill layer.

  • Patent number: 12267327
    Abstract: An authentication system includes an authentication module maintaining a store of credentials for a set of users. In response to an identity specified by credentials provided from a requestor address not being found in the store of credentials, the authentication module transmits an authentication failure response. In response to the provided credentials matching selected credentials, the authentication module transmits an authentication success response. The authentication system includes an analyzer module configured to determine a number of identity-not-found failures corresponding to a first address, identify a triggering event in response to the number exceeding a predetermined threshold, and, in response to the triggering event, add the first address to a block list.
