  • Patent number: 11868216
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for management of data item recovery operations based on classification of data items with respect to a target recovery time. Data items may be classified using metadata regarding versioning and other data storage operations performed on the data items, and the timing of those storage operations with respect to the target recovery time (TRT). Each class may be associated with one or more recovery actions. The recovery actions may involve modifying the metadata rather than the underlying data items.

  • Patent number: 11857508
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an isotropic concentrate composition that is easy to hydrate and transform into an end use wash composition. The end use wash composition resulting from the concentrate composition is suitable for topical application and for hand washing. The concentrate comprises fragrance oil and emulsifier at levels that unexpectedly result in a concentrate composition and end use composition that are free of ingredient precipitation that interferes with the appearance and usage of the compositions.

  • Publication number: 20230419583
    Abstract: A method of preparing a training data set for an artificial intelligence engine operable to convert markerless digital images of a target face into a mapping. The method comprises training an intermediate artificial intelligence by providing markered digital images of one or more skin parts to the intermediate artificial intelligence engine as a source training data set and providing markerless digital images of the one or more skin parts to the intermediate artificial intelligence engine as a target training data set. The intermediate artificial intelligence engine removes markers from markered digital images of the face of a first person to create corresponding synthetic markerless digital images of the face of the first person. The markered digital images of the face of the first person are converted into a mapping. The output training data set comprises the synthetic markerless digital images of the face of the first person and the mapping.

  • Patent number: 11815935
    Abstract: An assembly language program for a coarse grained reconfiguration array (CGRA), having dispatch interface information indicating operations to be performed via a dispatch interface of the CGRA to receive an input, memory interface information indicating operations to be performed via one or more memory interfaces of the CGRA, tile memory information indicating memory variables referring to memory locations to be implemented in tile memories of the CGRA, a flow description specifying one or more synchronous data flows, through the memory locations referenced via the memory variables in the tile memory information, to produce a result from the input using the CGRA.

  • Patent number: 11809782
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include playback devices configured to operate in one or more playback configurations including configurations individual playback devices play back one or more corresponding channels of multichannel audio content. An audio parameter can be determined based on a distance between playback devices. In some examples, the audio parameter comprises a filter such as a low frequency filter that varies based on at least the distance between the playback devices. After the audio parameter is determined, the playback devices can play back audio content according to the determined audio parameter.

  • Publication number: 20230305842
    Abstract: Control a coarse grained reconfigurable array during execution of an assembly language program identifying data flows through memory locations represented by memory variables. For example, a lowering program can be configured to receive the assembly language program, a hardware profile of the coarse grained reconfigurable array, and an instruction execution schedule to generate a configuration usable to control the coarse grained reconfigurable array. The lowering program can identify tile memories used to implement the memory locations represented by the memory variables in the assembly language program, and trace the data flows specified in the assembly language program. Using timing of instruction execution identified in the schedule, the lowering program can determine timing and controls for the dispatch interface, memory interfaces, and internal connections within tiles of the coarse grained reconfigurable array during execution of the assembly language program.

  • Publication number: 20230255789
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for graft delivery with accurate dispensing. For example, a device for delivering graft material to a target site includes an actuation mechanism and a tube. The tube defines a lumen and an open end and is configured to receive graft material through the open end. The tube includes a pressure relief opening and a dosage window. The pressure relief opening is disposed in a wall of the tube, defining a pressure chamber between the open end and the pressure relief opening. The device further includes a plunger positioned within the lumen of the tube and coupled to the actuation mechanism such that at least a portion of the plunger (or the actuation mechanism) is visible through the dosage window. The actuation mechanism is configured to advance the plunger toward the open end to deliver graft material through the open end.
