  • Publication number: 20260080427
    Abstract: An example computer-implemented method for temporal data analysis and forecasting utilizes topological hierarchical decompositions to process historical and future time windows. The method receives temporal data and generates multiple sets of historical time subsets with varying lengths, where information in shorter subsets is duplicated in longer ones. Future time windows are also generated in a similar manner. Future time windows are chronologically after a given initial time. The method creates past and future topological hierarchical decompositions and directed graph adjacency arrays. Customer attention matrices are generated for past and future windows, and matrix multiplications are performed to create self-attention arrays. These arrays are then multiplied together. The method culminates in providing a dashboard for forecasting demand after an initial time point, enabling comprehensive temporal data analysis and prediction.

  • Patent number: 12077369
    Abstract: A sanitation storage device and a method of installing the same is provided. The device comprises an upper storage portion comprising a platform, an upper storage portion containment feature, and an upper storage portion access opening. The device further comprises a lower storage comprising a lower storage portion access opening and a lower storage portion containment feature. The upper storage portion is configured to receive a first container filled with a hand sanitizer, such that the first container is disposed upon the platform and extends through the upper opening, and the lower storage portion is configured to receive a second container, filled with a cleaning solution, such that the second container is disposed within the interior void. The storage device allows for storage of hand sanitizer and cleaning solution in a manner that conceals the cleaning solution while allowing easy access to the hand sanitizer in the respective communal space.

  • Publication number: 20240087744
    Abstract: The disclosure generally describes computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for generating a health recommendation. A computer-implemented method includes receiving genetic data and user data of a user. The genetic data is processed to generate vector representations of a fixed size by using an unsupervised learning algorithm. Health risk features are extracted from the vector representations by using a multi-layer convolutional neural network. Dietary conditions associated with the health risk features are determined and used to generate the health recommendation. The health recommendation is displayed for the user.

  • Patent number: 11714885
    Abstract: Encryption key exchange processes are disclosed. A disclosed method includes initiating communication between a portable communication device including a token and a first limited use encryption key, and an access device. After communication is initiated, the portable communication device receives a second limited use key from a remote server via the access device. The portable communication device then replaces the first limited use key with the second limited use key. The second limited use key is thereafter used to create access data such as cryptograms that can be used to conduct access transactions.
