  • Publication number: 20240070005
    Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing real-time fault management or real-time fault management system (“RFM”). In various embodiments, RFM may receive alerts from or associated with network devices (e.g., layer 2, 3, and/or 4 devices, or the like) that are disposed in a plurality of disparate networks that may utilize different alert management protocols and/or different fault management protocols. RFM may collect, enrich, normalize, aggregate, and display the alerts in a user interface to facilitate addressing of the alerts by a user. To enable continuous and real-time functionality, RFM may be implemented in a plurality of siloed platforms in a primary data center, with processing of alerts being load balanced across the siloed platforms, with mirrored group of siloed platforms in a secondary data center located geographically distant from the primary data center and configured to be on “hot standby” and to completely take over RFM processing operations.

  • Patent number: 11890549
    Abstract: Techniques for managing notifications are described. In an example, a computing device presents content in an application window based on an execution of an application. Notification data is received by a computing device. Based on a context associated with the computing device, such as whether the application window is the foreground and whether the notification data is associated with the application or such as the operational mode of the computing device, a determination is made whether to present a corresponding notification in-context within the application window or in a pop-up window. Otherwise, the notification is added to a notification list and can be summarized in a notification summary.

  • Patent number: 11799770
    Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing name-based routing through networks. In various embodiments, a broker manager in each of a plurality of networks may receive a subscription request for a network device from a client device, each device being locally accessible or disposed in an upstream or downstream network. The broker manager uses its client broker to communicate with a locally accessible client device, and uses its mediator broker (and, sometimes, an intermediate device(s)) to communicate with a locally accessible network device. The broker manager otherwise uses its messaging brokers to communicate with control channels of one or more networks. Once subscription with the network device has been established, any commands and responses between the client device and the network device may be routed over pub/sub channels via the broker managers and their brokers using name-based routing, without routing based on IP address of the network device.

  • Publication number: 20230304946
    Abstract: An x-ray inspection system comprising an x-ray source, an x-ray detector, a sample support comprising a pliable material and a sample support positioning assembly configured to position the sample support between the x-ray source and the x-ray detector. The sample support is configured to removably clamp a sample for inspection in a fixed position with respect to the sample support and configured so that, in use, at least one surface of the sample is in contact with the pliable material. The sample support positioning assembly comprises a rotational drive configured to rotate the sample support about a rotational axis. This allows the sample to be rotated about a rotational axis such that a series of two-dimensional images can be captured by the x-ray detector that can be used to create a three-dimensional reconstruction of the sample.

  • Patent number: 11712624
    Abstract: Techniques for managing notifications are described. In an example, a computing device receives notification data. The computing device compares a first context associated with the notification data and a second context associated with an application executing in an application window on a display. The computing device determines whether the notification data is to be presented in the application window or is to be sent to a queue based on the comparison, the queue storing other notification data corresponding to another notification. The computing device also presents, based on the comparison, at least the notification data or a notification in the application window over at least a portion of content from execution of the application while a presentation of the content continues, the notification distinct from the notification data and indicating that the notification data is presented.

  • Publication number: 20230118240
    Abstract: A method of training a supervised machine learning system to detect anomalies within transaction data is described. The method includes obtaining a training set of data samples; assigning a label indicating an absence of an anomaly to unlabelled data samples in the training set; partitioning the data of the data samples in the training set into two feature sets, a first feature set representing observable features and a second feature set representing context features; generating synthetic data samples by combining features from the two feature sets that respectively relate to two different uniquely identifiable entities; assigning a label indicating a presence of an anomaly to the synthetic data samples; augmenting the training set with the synthetic data samples; and training a supervised machine learning system with the augmented training set and the assigned labels.

  • Publication number: 20220160094
    Abstract: Systems and methods here may include a two armed, spring biased applicator tool. In some examples, the arms may include an approximately 90 degree offset arm with silicone pads to aid in application of false eyelashes. In some examples, the system may include a locking mechanism to hold the two arms together for storage or application.

  • Publication number: 20220012742
    Abstract: A transaction processing system includes a transaction processing module configured to receive first information associated with a first proposed transaction, retrieve second information associated with at least one prior transaction that is associated with the first proposed transaction, and calculate a time-decayed algorithm using the second information to generate third information. The transaction processing system also includes a weighting module communicably coupled to the transaction processing module, wherein the weighting module is configured to receive the third information from the neural-based processing module, apply a weighting factor to the third information to generate fourth information, and calculate at least one processing algorithm using the first information and the fourth information to generate an output. The output of the weighting module is used by an additional transaction processing module to determine whether the first proposed transaction is fraudulent.

  • Publication number: 20210386983
    Abstract: Implantable drug delivery devices are provided to have a deployment shape for implantation in the body and a retention shape for retention in the body. The device may have one or more elongated drug reservoirs containing a drug, and the drug reservoir may be formed from a deformable material. In one case, a first filament is attached to the first end of the drug reservoir and second filament is attached to the second end of the drug reservoir, wherein a fastener is positioned about the first and second filaments to permit shortening and prevent lengthening of the filaments with reference to the ends of the drug reservoir, as a means for transforming the device from the implantation shape to the retention shape.

  • Publication number: 20210186390
    Abstract: An integrated blood test unit including a blood collection recess, a test component, and a reservoir containing test fluid. The blood collection device moves to a delivery position under control of an actuator, which also releases test fluid from the reservoir onto the test component. Additional features are a window over the test outcome indicator, a blood delivery channel that only operates if the sample size is large enough, and a geometry for a lancet and actuator that is adapted for a self test situation.
