  • Publication number: 20240099892
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a shaft, an expandable dilator, and at least one ventilation pathway. The shaft defines a longitudinal axis and includes a distal and proximal ends with at least one shaft lumen. The expandable dilator includes body with its own proximal and distal ends. The body is configured to transition between a contracted state and an expanded state. The body is configured to dilate a Eustachian tube of a patient in the expanded state. The at least one ventilation pathway is configured to provide ventilation from the distal end of the body to the proximal end of the body when the body is in the expanded state. In some examples, the ventilation pathway includes a set of transversely oriented vent openings formed through the shaft. In some other examples, the ventilation pathway includes a space defined between one or more radially outwardly protruding features of the expandable dilator.

  • Patent number: 11922011
    Abstract: A data item is programmed to a first set of management units (MUs) associated with a first portion of one or more memory devices. The first portion includes memory cells of a first type. The first set of MUs is associated with a first physical address. A mapping is generated in a virtual MU data structure that associates the first physical address with a set of virtual MUs associated with the one or more memory devices. An entry associated with the data item is added to a logical-to-physical (L2P) table associated with the one or more memory devices. The entry includes an identifier associated with the set of virtual MUs associated with the one or more memory devices. A detection is made that the data item is programmed to a second set of MUs associated with a second portion of the one or more memory devices. The second portion includes memory cells of a second type. The second set of MUs is associated with a second physical address.

  • Patent number: 11875375
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for automatically modifying a financial product associated with a user, where the modified financial product is associated with an updated benefit at a partner system. One example method comprises receiving an indication of acceptance associated with a particular partner-related product for replacing a current product associated with a first customer. At least one term or condition associated with the particular partner-related product different than terms or conditions associated with the at least one current product are identified, including a change to at least one benefit associated with the partner system. The terms associated with the current product are modified without changing the unique identifier, and an indication of the at least one updated benefit associated with the partner system is transmitted to the partner system for immediate usage by the first customer.

  • Publication number: 20230381970
    Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to training and refining robotic control policies using imitation learning techniques. A robotic control policy can be initially trained based on human demonstrations of various robotic tasks. Further, the robotic control policy can be refined based on human interventions while a robot is performing a robotic task. In some implementations, the robotic control policy may determine whether the robot will fail in performance of the robotic task, and prompt a human to intervene in performance of the robotic task. In additional or alternative implementations, a representation of the sequence of actions can be visually rendered for presentation to the human can proactively intervene in performance of the robotic task.

  • Publication number: 20230351499
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for generating new credit accounts for immediate availability for use in current online transaction. One example process includes identifying, at a merchant application, a request to perform a credit application process associated with a particular user via a client application. The credit application process is associated with a financial institution, and the merchant application stores a set of user accounts, each associated with a merchant-specific identifier identifying the particular user profile at the merchant. An interactive application is presented within the merchant application, and information associated with the completed application is transmitted to an API associated with the financial institution with the merchant-specific identifier of the associated user.

  • Publication number: 20230325957
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for performing identity validation using a digital ID shared and trusted among a coalition of institutions. One example method includes receiving, via a communications module and from a first consortium member system, a set of input credentials from a first consortium member system associated with an operation, where the set of input credentials is associated with a user. A digital ID is identified corresponding to the set of input credentials and the first user, wherein each digital ID uniquely identifies a particular user and corresponds to at least one user account associated with other consortium member systems in a trusted consortium network. Using the other user accounts, additional user account information associated with the user is obtained and used in a verification operation.

  • Patent number: 11642780
    Abstract: A system includes a robotic device, a sensor disposed on the robotic device, and circuitry configured to perform operations. The operations include determining a map that represents stationary features of an environment and receiving, from the sensor, sensor data representing the environment. The operations also include determining, based on the sensor data, a representation of an actor within the environment, where the representation includes keypoints representing corresponding body locations of the actor. The operations also include determining that a portion of a particular stationary feature is positioned within a threshold distance of a particular keypoint and, based on thereon, updating the map to indicate that the portion is to be cleaned. The operations further include, based on the map as updated, causing the robotic device to clean the portion of the particular stationary feature.

  • Publication number: 20220341906
    Abstract: A method includes receiving data collected by at least one sensor on a robotic device, wherein the data is to be used for an ambient environment state representation, and wherein the data represents ambient environment measurements collected at locations of the at least one sensor when the robotic device is passively monitoring an environment such that robotic device navigation is not based on the ambient environment state representation. The method further includes determining the ambient environment state representation using the data collected by the at least one sensor on the robotic device. The method also includes identifying, based on the ambient environment state representation, one or more anomalous ambient environment measurements. The method additionally includes causing, based on the one or more identified anomalous ambient environment measurements, the robotic device to actively monitor the environment such that robotic device navigation is based on the ambient environment state representation.
