  • System and network for tiered optimization
    Patent number: 11928736
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media, and apparatuses for optimizing policy underwriting and insurance policy coverage are described herein. Insurance information related to a new homeowner insurance policy may be retrieved from one or more insurance system databases. The insurance information may comprise an insurance policy premium.

  • Manufacturing metal inlays for dual interface metal cards
    Patent number: 11928537
    Abstract: A “core” or “inlay” for a smartcard may comprise a first metal layer and a second metal layer, and may be formed by folding a single metal layer upon itself. A module cavity may be formed in the first metal layer by laser cutting, prior to laminating. An adhesive layer may be disposed between the two metal layers. A module opening may be formed in the second metal layer by milling, after laminating the first metal layer to the second metal layer. A slit in a metal layer may extend from an outer edge of the layer to the cavity or opening, thereby forming a coupling frame. The slit may have a termination hole at either end or at both ends of the slit. The slits of two metal layers may be positioned differently than one another.

  • Systems and methods for intelligent responses to queries based on trained processes
    Patent number: 11928112
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that use a trained process to reply to a request comprising query data defining a query and context data defining contextual factors for the query from a device. The query is answered by one or more selected APIs of a plurality of APIs that invoke respective services to prepare a response. The trained process determines an execution plan responsive to the query data and the context data and is configured using training to define execution plans comprising selected APIs where a particular API is selected for the plan if it answers at least a portion of the query and the selected APIs together prepare the response optimized for the device according to the context data. The plan is provided to an execution component to execute the plan using the selected APIs and send the response to the requesting device.

  • Cloud-native global file system with rapid ransomware recovery
    Patent number: 11930042
    Abstract: A cloud-native global file system, in which one or more filers are associated with a volume of a versioned files system in a private, public or hybrid cloud object store, is augmented to include a rapid ransomware recovery service. Upon detecting a ransomware attack associated with one or more files or directories of the volume, read and write access to the volume is restricted. A recovery filer is then activated or designated in the cloud. A restore operation is then initiated at the recovery filter. Following completion of the restore operation, a new clean (healthy) snapshot of the volume is then created using the recovery filer For any filer other than the recovery filer, a determination is made whether the filer has completed a merge operation with respect to the new clean snapshot. If so, read and write access to the volume is re-enabled from that filer.

  • Projection constraints in a query processing system
    Patent number: 11928157
    Abstract: A constraint system enforces projection constraints on data values stored in specified columns of a shared dataset when queries are received by a database system. A projection constraint identifies that the data in a column may be restricted from being projected (e.g., presented, read, outputted) in an output to a received query, while allowing specified operations to be performed on the data and a corresponding output to be provided. For example, the projection constraint may indicate a context for a query that triggers the constraint, such as based on the user that submitted the query. Enforcing projection constraints on queries received at the database system allows for data to be shared and used anonymously by entities to perform various operations without the need to tokenize the data.

  • Method for treating vascular occlusion
    Patent number: 11925369
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for removing a vascular occlusion, such as a clot, from a blood vessel. A tubular sheath is inserted into the vessel and a self-expanding Nitinol mesh filter is deployed from a distal end of the tubular sheath at a location proximal to a clot. An inner catheter is advanced through the tubular sheath and through the mesh filter for contacting the clot. An expandable agitation element is provided along a distal end portion of the inner catheter for cutting or chopping the clot, thereby facilitating removal of the clot and improving blood flow through the vessel. Resulting clot particles are captured by the mesh filter. Negative pressure may be applied along a proximal end portion of the sheath for aspirating remaining particles. Certain embodiments of the method are well-suited for treating deep vein thrombosis and do not require the use of thrombolytic drugs.
