  • Publication number: 20250052062
    Abstract: A sealant pouch system for adhering roofing shingles includes a plurality of pouches containing an adhesive with a viscosity of 25 cps to 2500 cps. Each pouch comprises an outer film that encases the adhesive and is configured to rupture when subjected to a sufficient force or a temperature above a predetermined threshold. The method of installation involves placing the pouches on the reveal portion of shingles in a first row, installing a second row of shingles to overlap the first row, and applying sufficient force to rupture the pouches, causing the adhesive to contact both the headlap and reveal portions of the shingles, thereby sealing the rows together. The pouches may have various shapes and are designed to prevent rolling or sliding off sloped roof decks.

  • Patent number: 12215026
    Abstract: The invention includes a gas processing system for transforming a hydrocarbon-containing inflow gas into outflow gas products, where the system includes a gas delivery subsystem, a plasma reaction chamber, and a microwave subsystem, with the gas delivery subsystem in fluid communication with the plasma reaction chamber, so that the gas delivery subsystem directs the hydrocarbon-containing inflow gas into the plasma reaction chamber, and the microwave subsystem directs microwave energy into the plasma reaction chamber to energize the hydrocarbon-containing inflow gas, thereby forming a plasma in the plasma reaction chamber, which plasma effects the transformation of a hydrocarbon in the hydrocarbon-containing inflow gas into the outflow gas products, which comprise acetylene and hydrogen. The invention also includes methods for the use of the gas processing system.

  • Patent number: 12203777
    Abstract: An improvement to a utility (U) meter's (M) meter reading schema. The improvement includes a device (D) responsive to a native language with which a meter is programmed to convert communications to and from the meter from that native language into a neutral language. The neutral language is convertible by other meters programmed with different native languages into the native language of a particular meter for meters programmed with different native languages can communicate with each other. This allows facilities within a localized area of a utility's power grid (G) to form into a micro-grid (MG) in which meters programmed with the same or different native languages can communicate with each other without having communications between them routed through a central location of the utility.

  • Publication number: 20240428169
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for using machine learning to simulate changes to virtual warehouse configurations without access to data stored by corresponding virtual warehouses are described herein. A computing device may receive first performance metrics of one or more first queries executed by one or more first virtual warehouses. The computing device may then generate a trained machine learning model to simulate operating parameter changes and predict virtual warehouse query performance metrics. The computing device may then provide performance metrics for one or more second virtual warehouses to the trained machine learning model. Output from the trained machine learning model may comprise performance metric predictions corresponding to a given configuration of a virtual warehouse. Predicted costs associated with those performance metric predictions may be output and, based on user input, the operating parameter of the at least one of the one or more second virtual warehouses may be modified.

  • Patent number: 12039304
    Abstract: During software development, embodiments find various kinds of weak spots in source code and automatically suggest fixes to strengthen the code, without requiring developers to expressly select weakness finder mechanisms or fixer mechanisms by navigating a development tool's menu system. Weakness finders may analyze code using items such as hole detection, diagnostic errors, test results, changed code matches, prospective code discrepancies, generated code confidence scores, generated suggestion competition, and artificial intelligence. Weak spots and their context are submitted to weak spot fixers, which may generate fix suggestions using functionalities such as code synthesis, refactoring, autocompletion, retesting, and artificial intelligence. Fix candidate sets may be evaluated for consistency, diagnostic errors, and discrepancies. Snippets may be dynamically filled for presentation to a user.

  • Patent number: 11941372
    Abstract: Edit automation functionality generalizes edits performed by a user in a document, locates similar text, and recommends or applies transforms while staying within a current workflow. Source code edits such as refactoring are automated. The functionality uses or provides anchor target lists, temporal edit patterns, edit graphs, automatable edit sequence libraries, and other data structures and computational techniques for identifying locations appropriate for particular edits, for getting transforms, for selecting optimal transforms, for leveraging transforms in an editing session or later, and for displaying transform recommendations and results. The edit automation functionality enhances automation subtool generation, discoverability, and flexibility, for refactoring, snippet insertion, quick actions in an integrated development environment, and other automatable edit sequences.

  • Publication number: 20240069907
    Abstract: Historic context data is automatically associated with particular pieces of source code by retrieval data structures. Ephemeral information is preserved, such as how a piece of code originated operationally and was changed over time, which research sources informed the code's origination and changes, and why particular changes in the code were made. Code may be rolled back to an earlier version based on parameters such as whether code had been refactored, or results of testing or static analysis. Rollback goes beyond editor undo actions, and a developer need not specify a timestamp or a version number. Developer documentation burdens are reduced, developer understanding is increased, and code quality is enhanced, by providing ready access to the code's software development context history data. Some actions made possible include highlighting code that was generated automatically by autocompletion or otherwise, highlighting refactored code, and highlighting pasted code, among other actions.
