  • Patent number: 12647362
    Abstract: A method and system for reducing triggering of throughput penalties imposed on a group of users by a software-as-a-service (SaaS) server due to Application Programming Interface (API) calls exceeding limits of the SaaS server. The approaches include intercepting requests to the SaaS server from a user group and monitoring a rate of API calls the API calls forwarded to the SaaS server, identifying one or more power users based on a notification threshold value for the user group, and managing the rate of the API calls for the requests submitted by the identified power users of the user group in accordance with an API call throttle limit, thus remediating triggering of the throughput penalty.

  • Publication number: 20250285178
    Abstract: Performing, with a controller of a drive up banking system, a preventative maintenance module for a control system that includes any of an entrance control system, a financial equipment system, a drive-thru audio system, or a pneumatic control system. The preventative maintenance module includes receiving, with the communication system, a current equipment identifier from equipment that includes a universal board. The equipment is associated with any of the entrance control system, the financial equipment system, the drive-thru audio system, or the pneumatic control system. Determining, with the controller, whether the current equipment identifier is within a performance threshold of a historical performance identifier of the equipment. Displaying, in response to the current equipment identifier being within the performance threshold, the current equipment identifier on a user interface.

  • Publication number: 20250140877
    Abstract: A fuel cell system, e.g., of a motor vehicle, includes a fuel cell stack having fuel cells and non-repeating hardware components, the latter including wet and dry end units. The cells are positioned between the end units. The dry end unit includes an end plate and a compression plate assembly that uniformly compresses the cells against the end plate, and a terminal plate surrounded by a seal plate. An insulator frame disposed adjacent to the compression plate assembly is engaged with the insulator frame via a frictional interface provided by o-ring compression seals having a respective post connected to the terminal plate and the seal plate, and a pocket connected to the insulator frame. The post and pocket of at least one of the compression seals together define a fluid passage. One or more shim plates may be disposed between the end plate and insulator frame.

  • Publication number: 20250041321
    Abstract: Provided herein are systems for treating a subject with a pulmonary infection, for example, a nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary infection, a Burkholderia pulmonary infection, a pulmonary infection associated with bronchiectasis, or a Pseudomonas pulmonary infection. The system includes a pharmaceutical formulation comprising a liposomal aminoglycoside dispersion, and the lipid component of the liposomes consist essentially of electrically neutral lipids. The system also includes a nebulizer which generates an aerosol of the pharmaceutical formulation at a rate greater than about 0.53 gram per minute. The aerosol is delivered to the subject via inhalation for the treatment of the pulmonary infection.

  • Patent number: 11463362
    Abstract: A method and system for reducing triggering of throughput penalties imposed on a group of users by a software-as-a-service (SaaS) server due to Application Programming Interface (API) calls exceeding limits of the SaaS server is disclosed. The approaches include actions of intercepting requests to the SaaS server from a user group and monitoring both a rate of API calls for the requests and a rate of API events generated by forwarding the API calls to the SaaS server, intercepting the SaaS server's responses, where some of the responses indicate a throughput penalty imposed by the server, inferring load conditions of the SaaS server by analyzing the varying rate of API events against the responses with imposition of throughput penalty and setting an API call throttle limit dynamically adaptive to the inferred load conditions, then throttling the rate of the API calls for the group's requests according to the throttle limit.
