  • Patent number: 11936539
    Abstract: The packet capture manager uses a multi-tiered storage for storing captured network traffic. Captured packets are stored on a primary storage with a time-to-live according to a retention policy. The packet capture manager receives instructions from one or more network monitoring devices identifying one or more captured packets as packets of interest. The packet capture manager flags the identified packets as packets of interest, moves the flagged packets to a secondary storage, and changes the TTL of the moved packets. A machine learning model analyzes historical data of the instructions received from the one or more network monitoring devices. The packet capture manager uses the machine learning model to identify packets of interest and move identified packets to the secondary storage without specific instructions from a network monitoring device.

  • Patent number: 11724205
    Abstract: A snapshot of a game may be generated by a client. At some point, a suspension request is delivered to a computer system. Once the suspension request is received, the computer system will suspend the emulated title. The computer system generates a snapshot of the game by recording the current state of all devices being emulated. The snapshot is then delivered to the client. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

  • Publication number: 20230125402
    Abstract: A system is disclosed for producing a mixture to deliver to a treatment site. The system can include a first chamber with an inner cavity including a first constituent and an outer cavity concentric with the first cavity and including a second constituent. A partition can be openable and separate the first and second cavities. A second chamber can include a third constituent and be concentric with the first chamber. Moving the first chamber and/or the second chamber relative to the other can cause the partition to open so that the first constituent and the second constituent mix with each other to form a first mixture. Applying a force to the system can cause the first mixture and the third constituent to egress through distal portions of the first and second chambers and mix together to form the mixture for delivery to the treatment site.

  • Publication number: 20220273363
    Abstract: A medical system having a medical tool, including a handle, a shaft extending from the handle and defining a lumen, a wire attached to and extending from the handle through the lumen, expandable elements at a distal end of the wire. An electrical generator is coupled to a proximal end of the wire and supplies a first waveform to the wire and the expandable elements as the expandable elements expand from an unexpanded state to an expanded state within a tissue. The electrical generator supplies a second waveform to the wire and the expandable elements when the expandable elements are in the expanded state within the tissue. The first waveform cuts tissue, the second waveform ablates tissue using radiofrequency ablation or irreversible electroporation.

  • Patent number: 11216794
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include systems and methods for systematic crowdsourcing of geolocation data. Transaction data that includes an identification of a point of sale device and an identification of a payment vehicle used in the transaction can be received. A confidence in a location of the point-of-sale device can be calculated. When the confidence of the location of the point-of-sale device is lower than a threshold confidence, a location of a device associated with an owner of the payment vehicle can be determined. An updated confidence in the location of the point-of-sale device can be generated based at least in part on the location of the device.
