Publication number: 20240152594Abstract: An apparatus for activating a physical card in a virtual environment comprises a processor associated with a server. The processor is configured to receive a request to issue a physical card to a first user and to generate a first non-fungible token (NFT) for storage in the physical card, wherein the first NFT is then displayed as a digital card in a virtual environment. The processor is further configured to receive the digital card in an interaction and to generate a second NFT. The processor is further configured to combine the first NFT and the second NFT to generate an activation NFT that allows the physical card to access a profile corresponding to the first user during an interaction. The processor is further configured to transmit the activation NFT and an instruction to the first user device to store the activation NFT in the physical card.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2022Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Amardeep Singh Talwar, Sukanya V, Shailendra Singh, Ashutosh Tripathi, Gaurav Sachdeva, Salma Umme, Sharvani Ganachary, Shyam Prasad Rokula, Bhagat Kumar Allugubelly, Kavitha Hariharan, Charles Joseph Fernandez, Raj Kiran Akkera, Sarabjeet Kaur, Jai Issrani

Patent number: 11968257Abstract: Embodiments may relate to pruning a distributed database for a peer-to-peer (P2P) network. A node may transmit a first multicast beacon over the P2P network. The node may receive a unicast synchronization request in response to the first multicast beacon, the unicast synchronization request comprising a removed list for the distributed database. The node may compare the removed list to a locally stored node list to determine a node removal. The node may determine if there is a failure in a node information call made to a node relating to the node removal. The node may, subsequent to a determination of the failure, update the locally stored node list based on the node removal. The node may transmit a second multicast beacon comprising the node removal. Nodes receiving the second multicast beacon may update a locally stored removed list using the node removal.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2023Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: TurbineOne, Inc.Inventors: Charles R.

RECOMMENDING CHANGES IN THE DESIGN OF AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT USING A RULES-BASED ANALYSIS OF FAILURES
Publication number: 20240119205Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for recommending design changes in designing a digital integrated circuit. An analysis of the digital integrated circuit being designed is performed, where the result of such an analysis involves violations being identified and stored. A stored violation, such as a cross-domain, cross-hierarchy and multi-cycle violation, may then be analyzed to identify a root cause of the violation using a rule. Such a rule may be used for triaging various failures in the cross-domain, cross-hierarchy and/or multi-cycle violation of the digital integrated circuit. A design change in the design of the digital integrated circuit may then be recommended based on the identified root cause of the violation. In this manner, the root cause of failures are effectively identified in the design of digital integrated circuits using an offline analysis of cross-domain, cross-hierarchy and/or multi-cycle violations using a rules-based approach.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: SheshaShayee K Raghunathan, Charles Gates, Kerim Kalafala, Steven Joseph Kurtz, Morgan D.

Patent number: 11946400Abstract: A lean-burn internal combustion engine and an exhaust aftertreatment system having an oxidation catalyst are described. A controller determines a fueling rate and a mass flowrate of the exhaust gas feedstream. An inlet temperature of the exhaust gas feedstream upstream of the oxidation catalyst is determined via the first temperature sensor, and an in-use outlet temperature of the exhaust gas feedstream is determined downstream of the oxidation catalyst via the second temperature sensor. An expected outlet temperature from the oxidation catalyst is determined based upon the inlet temperature, the fueling rate, and the mass flowrate of the exhaust gas feedstream. The oxidation catalyst is evaluated based upon the expected outlet temperature and the in-use outlet temperature.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: PACCAR IncInventors: Trevor Joseph Ott, Cynthia Chaffin Webb, Charles Wayne Reinhardt Swart

Publication number: 20240094889Abstract: Computerized systems and methods are provided for automatically generating an application overflow tool that is dynamically updated and arranged to provide improved access to popular or recently used applications. These systems and methods improve existing technologies by generating an overflow panel different from a task bar, such that the overflow panel provides access to most recently used applications that are not on the task bar. As such, ease of access to applications is improved to increase user efficiency. These systems also improve the way computers operate by leveraging existing GUI layouts to reduce computing resource consumption, such as memory, network latency, I/O, and the like, that would otherwise be required improve access to applications.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Charles Edward TAYLOR, Jr., Peter E.

Patent number: 11931064Abstract: Rotational atherectomy devices and systems can remove or reduce stenotic lesions in blood vessels by rotating one or more abrasive elements within the vessel. The abrasive elements can be attached to a distal portion of an elongate flexible drive shaft that extends from a handle assembly that includes a driver for rotating the drive shaft. In particular implementations, individual abrasive elements are attached to the drive shaft at differing radial angles in comparison to each other (e.g., configured in a helical array). The centers of mass of the abrasive elements can define a path that fully or partially spirals around the drive shaft. In some embodiments, a distal stability element with a center of mass aligned with the longitudinal axis is fixedly mounted to the drive shaft.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Cardio Flow, Inc.Inventors: Albert Selden Benjamin, Cassandra Ann Piippo Svendsen, Charles Anthony Plowe, Paul Joseph Robinson

The centers of mass of the abrasive elements can define a path that spirals around the drive shaft in a direction that is opposite to the wind direction of filars of the drive shaft, and opposite to the direction of rotation. In some embodiments, a concentric abrasive tip member is affixed to and extends distally from a distal-most end of the drive shaft.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Cardio Flow, Inc.Inventors: Paul Joseph Robinson, Cassandra Ann Piippo Svendsen, Albert Selden Benjamin, Charles Anthony Plowe

Patent number: 11921500Abstract: Technology for generating and displaying a graphical user interface for operating an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is disclosed herein that generates and updates a representation of a spline flight path. In various implementations, a graphical user interface detects user interactions with a remote control device directing the flight control subsystem of the UAV to record keyframes and to compute a spline based on the keyframes during flight. The graphical user interface displays a real-time perspective of the UAV with a representation of the spline and the keyframes overlaying the view. The graphical user interface continually updates the representation as the UAV flies and when the spline is updated as the keyframes are updated.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Skydio, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Thomas Beaudouin-Lafon, Saumya Pravinbhai Shah, Kristen Marie Holtz, James Anthony Ferrandini, Hayk Martirosyan, Matthew Joseph Donahoe, Charles VanSchoonhoven Wood, Clara Kelley, Adam Parker Bry, Jack Louis Zhu
