  • Publication number: 20240154917
    Abstract: An Ethernet Physical layer (PHY) device includes a PHY interface and PHY circuitry. The PHY interface is configured to connect to a physical link. The PHY circuitry is configured to generate layer-1 frames that carry data for transmission to a peer Ethernet PHY device, to insert among the layer-1 frames one or more management frames that are separate from the layer-1 frames and that are configured to control a General-Purpose Input-Output (GPIO) port associated with the peer Ethernet PHY device, to transmit the layer-1 frames and the inserted management frames, via the PHY interface, to the peer Ethernet PHY device over the physical link, for controlling one or more operations of the GPIO port associated with the peer Ethernet PHY device, and to receive, via the PHY interface, one or more verifications acknowledging that the one or more management frames were received successfully at the peer Ethernet PHY device.

  • Publication number: 20240153021
    Abstract: A single-tier blockchain-based system and method for document transformation and accountability is provided. Transaction documents including document templates relating to a transfer of real property are maintained. Each template includes form elements. The form elements are each associated with a data field identifier and a data value. A data model is maintained for the transaction documents and includes the data field identifiers and the data values for the form elements. A request is received for the transaction documents. The form elements of the transaction documents are automatically populated with the data values via the data model in response to the request. Compliance checking is performed on the data values populating the form elements. A cryptographic hash of the transaction documents is committed to a blockchain copy stored by one or more network nodes in a single-tier when no errors are identified in the data values during the compliance checking.

  • Publication number: 20240144404
    Abstract: A system and method for document transformation is provided. An address is received. A document set is generated based on the address. Each document includes data fields and an identifier for each data field. A transaction number is assigned to the document set. Data values are received for population of the data fields in one of the documents. The data values and the identifier for the data field in which each data value is populated is stored with the transaction number. The remaining documents are populated. One of the identifiers is identified for one of the data fields in one of the remaining documents. One of the data fields is determined in one of the remaining documents. The data value associated with the data field is identified based on the identifier and the transaction number. The data fields in the remaining documents are populated with the determined data value.

  • Publication number: 20240135476
    Abstract: A system and method for document transformation and recordation is provided. Documents for a transaction of real property are identified based on a jurisdiction in which the real property is located. Each document includes a plurality of data fields and each data field is associated with a data field identifier. A data value is received in at least one of the data fields of one or more of the documents. The data fields in the documents associated with the data field identifiers that match the data field identifiers of the data fields in which the data values are received are identified. The identified data fields are automatically populated with the data values based on the data field identifiers associated with the data values. A completeness rule is applied to the documents by verifying whether all required documents for completing the transaction in the jurisdiction are satisfied by the documents.

  • Patent number: 11939857
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and techniques for monitoring for monitoring and evaluating conditions associated with a wellbore and wellbore operations that use neural operators instead of computationally intensive iterative differential equations. Such systems and techniques allow for determinations to be made as operations associated with a wellbore are performed. Instead of having to wait for computationally intensive tasks to be performed or take risks of proceeding with a wellbore operation without real-time evaluations being performed, these wellbore operations may be continued while determinations are timely made, thus improving operation of computing systems that perform evaluations and that make decisions regarding safely and efficiently performing wellbore operations such as drilling a wellbore, cementing wellbore casings in place, or injecting fluids into formations of the Earth.

  • Patent number: 11929076
    Abstract: Disclosed speech recognition techniques improve user-perceived latency while maintaining accuracy by: receiving an audio stream, in parallel, by a primary (e.g., accurate) speech recognition engine (SRE) and a secondary (e.g., fast) SRE; generating, with the primary SRE, a primary result; generating, with the secondary SRE, a secondary result; appending the secondary result to a word list; and merging the primary result into the secondary result in the word list. Combining output from the primary and secondary SREs into a single decoder as described herein improves user-perceived latency while maintaining or improving accuracy, among other advantages.
