  • Patent number: 12730687
    Abstract: A process for converting backend-agnostic data comprises exposing an application programming interface to a frontend and receiving backend-agnostic data via the frontend. Further, the process comprises determining a context for the backend-agnostic data and converting the backend-agnostic data from frontend status to backend status based on the context. The converted data is sent to the backend, and a set of recommendations is received from the backend, which are sent to the frontend. A selection of a recommendation from the set of recommendations is received, and an instrument from the selection is created.

  • Patent number: 11343960
    Abstract: An agitation unit for use in a lawn spreader and other dispensing equipment, and oscillating agitation systems therefor comprising such an agitation unit. The agitation unit includes a hub, an arm extending from the hub, and an extension on the arm configured to project downwardly to an extent relative to the arm and the hub to protrude into, but not through, the outlet passageway of the hopper.

  • Patent number: 9921960
    Abstract: A method for performing a deferred system dump includes storing a preservation list referencing physical memory addresses allocated to pages by an initial operating system executing on a computer system. The method further includes identifying a subset of the pages that are at least partially allocated below a first physical memory address, relocating the subset to new physical memory addresses above the first physical memory address, and updating the preservation list with the new physical memory addresses. The method further includes transferring control of the computer system from the initial operating system to a subsequent operating system. The subsequent operating system accesses the preservation list to identify preserved pages. The method further includes assigning each of the preserved pages to an address segment in an address space of the subsequent operating system, storing a subset of the preserved pages, and freeing the preserved pages.
