  • Publication number: 20240411703
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include an electronic device having a processor core, a memory, a register, and a data load unit to receive a plurality of data elements stored in the memory in response to an instruction. All of the data elements hare the same data size, which is specified by one or more coding bits. The data load unit includes an address generator to generate addresses corresponding to locations in the memory at which the data elements are located, and a formatting unit to format the data elements. The register is configured to store the formatted data elements, and the processor core is configured to receive the formatted data elements from the register.

  • Patent number: 12159311
    Abstract: Various examples are directed to systems and methods for identifying targeted transactions from a transaction data stream. A transaction monitoring application executes on at least one processor. The transaction monitoring application may access first targeted transaction data from a targeted transaction persistent storage. The transaction monitoring application may build a first targeted transaction data structure at an application memory. The transaction monitoring application may access a first transaction record from a transaction record data stream and compare the first targeted transaction data structure and the first transaction record. The transaction monitoring application may, based on the comparing, determine that the first transaction is a targeted transaction, and initiate sending of a first transaction report message to a first user.

  • Publication number: 20240276851
    Abstract: An optical system includes an optical film curved about a first axis and a light control film curved about the first axis. The light control film can be disposed between a light source and the optical film. The optical film includes a microstructured first major surface and an opposing second major surface. The microstructured first major surface defines a linear Fresnel lens including a plurality of Fresnel elements extending longitudinally along the first axis. The first major surface of the optical film faces the light control film. The light control film can include a plurality of alternating optically transmissive and optically absorptive regions extending longitudinally along the first axis such that in a cross-section orthogonal to the first axis, for at least a majority of the optically transmissive regions, a centerline between adjacent optically absorptive regions is substantially normal to a major surface of the light control film.
