  • Patent number: 12644316
    Abstract: The present disclosure teaches a friction-attached childproof latch for cabinets and drawers. Wherein, each half of the childproof latch includes a C-shaped frame with one top surface and two side surfaces, and a jaw is placed between the side surfaces, and connected to one of the side surfaces via a screw. The jaw may move with regard to the frame along the screw by tightening or loosening the screw. A panel of a cabinet or drawer may be friction-attached between the jaw and an opposite side surface of the frame. A first connector may be placed onto any surface of the frame, or connected to the frame via an extension piece. Wherein, the first connector may removably connect to a second connector placed on the other half of the latch. These connectors may take various forms, such as a hook and staple, a tether connection, or a snap fastener.

  • Publication number: 20260037313
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques for selective removal of leaf nodes. A processing device tracks a count of leaf nodes associated with a parent node within a key space. The processing device identifies whether the count of the leaf nodes exceeds a threshold. The processing device removes the parent node within the key space in response to the count of leaf nodes exceeding the threshold. The processing device frees the resources utilized by the leaf node removed from the key space for use by other leaf nodes within the key space.

  • Publication number: 20260030348
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques for event detection. A processing device computes a first score corresponding to an event at a first host based on a first timestamp of the event, a second timestamp, and a base rate. The processing device computes, based on the first score exceeding a first threshold value, a second score based on: the first timestamp, a third timestamp corresponding to an occurrence of the event at a second host, and the base rate. The processing device outputs an indication of the event based on the first score and the second score.

  • Publication number: 20260030349
    Abstract: Techniques for enriching events with entity state data to provide distributing tracking of entity state data are provided. A cyber-security management (CSM) system may provide a set of configurations that each define entity identification information indicating when an entity(s) is referenced by an event being processed. When an event that is part of a stream of events is received, the set of configurations may be used by the CSM to identify an entity referenced by the event. The event may be routed to each node of a set of nodes of the CSM that is associated with the identified entity, where each of the nodes associated with the identified entity may update state information of the identified entity maintained by the node. Each of the nodes associated with the identified entity may also enrich the event with the state information of the entity.

  • Patent number: 12328325
    Abstract: A method of monitoring a network for linked events includes receiving an indication of an occurrence of a first event in a computing environment, calculating a first estimated rate of occurrence of the first event based on a first cache associated with the first event, and identifying an occurrence of a second event within a threshold amount of time prior to the occurrence of the first event. The method further includes calculating a second estimated rate of occurrence of the second event based on a second cache associated with the second event and determining, based on the first estimated rate of occurrence of the first event and the second estimated rate of occurrence of the second event, whether the occurrence of the first event and the occurrence of the second event have a common cause.

  • Publication number: 20250126698
    Abstract: An EUV collector for an EUV projection exposure apparatus transfers usable EUV light emerging from a source volume into a collection volume separated from the source volume. The source volume has a first source extension along a connection axis between a center of the source volume and a center of the collection volume. The source volume has a second, cross section source extension along a cross section axis perpendicular to the connection axis. The EUV collector images the source volume into the collection volume. The imaging has a first imaging scale along the connection axis and a second imaging scale along the cross section axis. The first imaging scale differs from the second imaging scale by at least 10%.

  • Publication number: 20240369703
    Abstract: A system may be configured for implementing neural volumetric reconstruction for coherent synthetic aperture sonar. Exemplary systems include means for measuring underwater objects using high-resolution Synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) by coherently combining data from a moving array to form high-resolution imagery. Such a system may receive a waveform from the measurements of the underwater object and optimize the waveform for deconvolving via an iterative deconvolution optimization process applying an adaptable approach to waveform compression where performance is tuned via sparsity and smoothness parameters. Such a system may deconvolve the wave form using pulse deconvolution and use the deconvolved waveforms in an analysis-by-synthesis optimization operation with an implicit neural representation to yield higher resolution and superior volumetric reconstruction scene of the underwater object.

  • Patent number: 12111906
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for generating a digital image using an unencrypted key. A server computing device generates an initial digital image comprising a plurality of image areas. The server computing device converts an unencrypted key associated with a remote computing device into an encrypted key using an encryption algorithm. The server computing device assigns a color value to each character of the encrypted key. The server computing device maps each character of the encrypted key to one of the plurality of image areas of the initial digital image. The server computing device generates an updated digital image by applying, to each of the plurality of image areas, a color that corresponds to the color value assigned to the character of the encrypted key that is mapped to the image area. The server computing device stores the updated digital image in a database record.
