  • Patent number: 12386249
    Abstract: A projector for generating a frame of an image is disclosed, comprising an array of elements arranged in a plane, each element comprising at least three LEDs which have different respective colours, and an array of collector structures, each configured to receive light from a single LED at any one time and reduce the angle over which the LED emits light. A projector unit is configured to receive the light from the array of collector structures and collimate the light such that a full colour frame is formed from combining a plurality of subframes formed through a spatial movement of the array of elements with respect to the array of collector structures such that each collector structure receives light from a different LED during each subframe, and/or a displacement of the light emitted from each LED such that the light from each LED illuminates multiple pixels of the frame.

  • Publication number: 20250137500
    Abstract: A connector apparatus includes a housing and a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism includes a rotatable disc that cooperates with the housing to selectively secure a connector therewith. The locking mechanism also includes a first pawl and a second pawl configured to engage with the disc and at least one lock lever configured to engage with the disc. A first connector is secured to the housing via the disc engaging the pawls and the lock lever thereby rotationally locking the disc. A second connector actuates the pawls to disengage the disc and the lock lever is manually actuated to disengage the disc so that the first connector can be released while simultaneously securing the second connector to the housing.

  • Patent number: 12233051
    Abstract: The disclosure provides methods of treating a patient having primary hyperoxaluria or idiopathic hyperoxaluria comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of compound of the formula and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, and hydrates thereof to the patient. The variables, e.g. ring A, n, R, R3, R10, X, Y, and Z are defined herein. These compounds act as lactate dehydrogenase inhibitors and are useful inhibiting the conversion of glyoxylate to oxalate. When administered to a patient having a disease or disorder associated with elevated oxalate levels, such as PH type 1, type 2, or type 3 or idiopathic hyperoxaluria the compounds prevent or substantially reduce the amount and buildup of oxalate the patient's kidneys, bladder, urinary tract and other parts of the patient's body.

  • Publication number: 20250053541
    Abstract: Systems/techniques that facilitate de-identified search of part designs are provided. In various embodiments, a system can access a part design file provided by a client device, wherein the part design file can comprise a computer-aided design (CAD) geometry of a part. In various aspects, the system can search an historical database for a same or similar instance of the part, via performance of a multi-staged search. In various instances, the multi-staged search can be based on a cryptographic hash of the part design file, on a spatial hash of the CAD geometry, and on an anonymized feature vector extracted from the CAD geometry. In various cases, the system can return, to the client device and in response to the multi-staged search, an electronic notification indicating whether the same or similar instance of the part was identified.

  • Publication number: 20250055834
    Abstract: A stream of events is received at a local security agent running on an endpoint at an enterprise network. The local security agent may detect an event of a first event type and may generate an aggregate event with subsequent events of the first event type in the stream. The local security agent may then transmit the aggregate event to a security resource for detecting security threats.

  • Publication number: 20250053998
    Abstract: Systems/techniques that facilitate de-identified search of part designs are provided. In various embodiments, a system can access a part design file provided by a client device, wherein the part design file can comprise a computer-aided design (CAD) geometry of a part. In various aspects, the system can determine whether the part design file is subject to any manufacturing restrictions, via performance of a multi-staged search of an historical database. In various instances, the multi-staged search can be based on a cryptographic hash of the part design file, on a spatial hash of the CAD geometry, and on an anonymized feature vector extracted from the CAD geometry. In various cases, the system can return, to the client device and in response to the multi-staged search, an electronic notification indicating whether the part design file is subject to any manufacturing restrictions.
