  • Patent number: 12254090
    Abstract: A method, a computer program product, and a system for mitigating unauthorized encryptions of filesystem objects stored on a computing system. The method includes allocating a backup memory area for storing pre-encrypted filesystem objects, setting data bits in an encryption register that allow for monitoring a filesystem object marked for ransomware protection. The method also includes calculating an encryption rate of an encryption occurring on the filesystem object and determining that the encryption rate of the filesystem object exceeds an encryption-rate threshold. The encryption-rate threshold can be set by an administrator when marking the filesystem object for ransomware protection. The method further includes generating an alert to an administrator that the encryption rate of the filesystem object exceeds the encryption rate threshold and storing a backup of the filesystem object for a predetermined amount of time in the backup memory area.

  • Publication number: 20250064556
    Abstract: Smile treatment planning systems and methods are described herein. One method for adjusting an image of a smile may generally comprise receiving a three-dimensional (3D) digital model of a dental arch of a patient, receiving a digital facial image of the patient which includes an image of one or more teeth of the patient when smiling, registering the 3D digital model to the one or more teeth of the patient from the digital facial image, correcting the 3D digital model for scale and distortion to create a corrected 3D digital model, and overlaying the corrected 3D digital model onto the digital facial image.

  • Patent number: 11954337
    Abstract: A method, a computer program product, and a system for initializing components to monitor for unauthorized encryptions of filesystem objects stored on a computing system. The method includes configuring an encryption monitor register to establish monitoring preferences of filesystem objects and allocating a predetermined size of persistent memory as a backup memory area for storing pre-encrypted versions of the filesystem objects.

One embodiment has a plurality of battery modules and a plurality of battery exchange facilities. Each different EV contains a battery swap cabinet that is configured to releasably secure at least one of the plurality of battery modules within the EV. A user of an EV, while at the battery exchange facility, exchanges a discharged first battery module for a second battery module that has been recharged. The battery exchange facility releases the recharged second battery module to the user after a payment has been made by the user. The battery exchange facility subsequently recharges the discharged first battery module after the user has placed the discharged first battery module into the battery exchange facility.
