Publication number: 20250323998Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing application programming interface (“API”)-based concurrent call path (“CCP”) provisioning. In various embodiments, in response to receiving a CCP provisioning request, a computing system may determine whether such a request would affect a set of trunk groups assigned to a customer based at least in part on network utilization data. If not, the computing system may cause the nodes in the network to increase or decrease, in near-real-time, the number of CCPs in at least one trunk group assigned to the customer based on the CCP provisioning request. If so, the computing system may cause the nodes in the network to increase or decrease, in near-real-time, the number of trunk groups assigned to the customer and may cause the nodes in the network to increase or decrease, in near-real-time, the number of CCPs in the updated number of trunk groups.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2025Publication date: October 16, 2025Applicant: Level 3 Communications, LLCInventors: Bridget McAndrew, Anne Kempen, Sudhir Dadi, Kevin Michelsen, Chris Baker

Publication number: 20250256477Abstract: A method or press-forming a construct. The method can comprise obtaining a forming tool comprising at least a punch and a cavity part. The cavity part at least partially defines a cavity and comprises a plurality of ports in fluid communication with the cavity. The method further includes positioning a moisturized paperboard packaging material between the punch and the cavity, and press-forming the moisturized paperboard packaging material into the construct by moving the punch and the cavity part together so that the punch is at least partially received in the cavity with the moisturized paperboard packaging material pressed therebetween. The method also includes removing moisturizing fluid in the cavity released by the moisturized paperboard packaging material during press-forming via the plurality of ports in the cavity part.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2025Publication date: August 14, 2025Inventors: Jeffrey T.

Publication number: 20250169717Abstract: A system for analyzing the mobility of an individual and from it determining a mobility age score. The mobility age score is a single age-based mobility number indicating a relative mobility with respect to other individuals in different age categories. The mobility score is optionally calculated based, on data obtained from multiple sensors such as pressure sensors, accelerometers and the like which may be worn by the user. This input may be processed and compared to data about the mobility of numerous other individuals obtained, over time in order to arrive at the mobility age score.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2023Publication date: May 29, 2025Applicant: Palarum LLCInventors: Patrick Baker, Glenn Wolfe, Brian Riesenberg, David Mann, Taylor Ellis, Chris Baker

Patent number: 12174854Abstract: A distributed data store may maintain versioned hierarchical data structures. Different versions of a hierarchical data structure may be maintained consistent with a transaction log for the hierarchical data structure. When access requests directed to the hierarchical data structure are received, a version of the hierarchical data structure may be identified for processing an access request. For access requests with snapshot isolation, the identified version alone may be sufficient to consistently process the access request. For access requests with higher isolation requirements, such as serializable isolation, transactions based on the access request may be submitted to the transaction log so that access requests resulting in committed transactions may be allowed, whereas access requests resulting in conflicting transactions may be denied.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2021Date of Patent: December 24, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Srikanth Mandadi, Matthew Berry, Slavka Praus, Chris Baker, Marvin Michael Theimer, Anders Samuelsson, Khaled Salah Sedky
