  • Patent number: 11966474
    Abstract: Trusted execution of a workload payload is brokered among multiple trusted execution platforms. The workload payload is received from a source computing system and includes input data, trusted execution code, and one or more trusted execution policies. At least one of the multiple trusted execution platforms is selected based on the one or more trusted execution policies. A brokered payload is generated to include executable trusted execution code and the input data. The brokered payload is communicated to the selected at least one trusted execution platform. A brokered result generated from the brokered payload by the selected at least one trusted execution platform is received. A workload result based on the brokered result is returned to the source computing platform.

  • Patent number: 11959831
    Abstract: Detecting a leak from a site in a sealed system with a source of pressurized gas which is capable of passing through the site, a composition of matter which adheres to the surfaces of the system and which is capable of showing the presence of the gas escaping from the site. The method includes: injecting gas into the system to a pressure in excess of the surrounding pressure, and covering the external surface with the composition to identify the location of the site by the interaction of the escaping gas with the composition. The composition is foam that includes a surfactant which forms a least one bubble in the presence of escaping gas and an indicator which changes color in the presence of the escaping gas. The leak is an opening down to at least the size of a hole 0.001? in diameter. A gas detector may also be used.

  • Patent number: 11961253
    Abstract: A controller may receive information identifying an area of interest from a plurality of candidate areas of interest including locations on the machine and external to the machine. The controller may obtain, using the one or more first sensor devices, data identifying material located at the area of interest; and generate a graphical representation based on the data. The controller may determine, using the one or more second sensor devices, at least one of a position or an orientation of one or more portions of the machine; and identify a portion of the graphical representation based on the at least one of the position or the orientation of the one or more portions. The portion may correspond to the material located at the area of interest. The controller may determine, using one or more computational models, a volume of the material based on the portion of the graphical representation.

  • Patent number: 11953404
    Abstract: This invention relates to compositions of matter formulated to work in conjunction with CO2 gas for identifying the exact leak site location of small and large leaks in sealed systems. The leak finding compositions of matter foam, or are in the form of a foam, when applied to the one or more external surfaces of a system, that is closed and pressurized with CO2, where a leak site location is suspected. This foam then changes color from a first color to a second color over the exact leak site.

  • Publication number: 20240112767
    Abstract: Systems and methods for maintaining an electronic health records system, including a server storing a medical records database. Requests for medical data for a patient in a master problem list are received from a user device, and appropriate list permissions are determined and granted for hierarchical derivative problem lists. Annotated data is received at the server from a user device based on annotations made to a derivative problem list, and problem lists are updated with the received annotated data in real time. The received annotated data is compared with current entries using natural language processing to detect duplicate entries, the duplicate entries are iteratively detected and removed from the master problem list, and non-duplicate entries are stored in authorized derivative problem lists based on the natural language processing and list update permissions for each of the derivative problem lists.

  • Publication number: 20240084730
    Abstract: The testing of various chemicals has yielded new chemicals and chemical mixtures for the use of removing carbon deposits from the internal combustion engine. Some of these chemicals and chemical mixtures have proven to work better across many different carbon types than other chemicals that were tested. These chemical terpenes are typically produced from plants. One standard terpene mixture is known as turpentine. The chemical turpentine and chemicals found in turpentine have been determined, through our research and testing, to be extremely effective at removing the carbon that is produced within the internal combustion engine.
