  • Patent number: 12289362
    Abstract: A multi-tenant dynamic secure data region in which encryption keys can be shared by services running in nodes reduces the need for decrypting data as encrypted data is transferred between nodes in the data center. Instead of using a key per process/service, that is created by a memory controller when the service is instantiated (for example, MKTME), a software stack can specify that a set of processes or compute entities (for example, bit-streams) share a private key that is created and provided by the data center.

  • Publication number: 20250128698
    Abstract: Systems and techniques for location management are described herein. In an example, a system may include at least one processor and at least one memory with instructions stored thereon that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to obtain data originating from one or more sensors proximate to the location. A trained activity-based detection model may identify an activity at the location and perform a determination of a service to be offered at the location based on the detected activity. The system may then send a message to a user offering the service to the user, and in response to receiving an authorization accepting the service from the user, cause the service to be implemented at the location, which may include classifying the service as a service type, matching the service type to a service provider, and sending a notification to the service provider.

  • Patent number: 12259254
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for vehicle-occupancy-based and user-preference-based smart routing, and autonomous volumetric-occupancy measurement. In an embodiment, a system is configured to receive from a user device associated with a user, a routing-options request for routing options between two locations, and to responsively identify one or more routing options between the two locations based at least in part on occupancy data for a vehicle that would be utilized for at least a portion of at least one of the identified routing options. The occupancy data is based on an output of an automated occupancy-measurement system onboard the vehicle. The system is also configured to provide the one or more identified routing options to the user device. In some embodiments, the occupancy data is obtained using volumetric-occupancy measurement. Some embodiments relate to volumetric-occupancy measurement conducted by autonomous mesh nodes.

  • Patent number: 12254361
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein are generally directed to the use of sidecars to perform dynamic Application Programming Interface (API) contract generation and conversion. In an example, a first sidecar of a source microservice intercepts a first call to a first API exposed by a destination microservice. The first call makes use of a first API technology specified by a first contract and is originated by the source microservice. An API technology is selected from multiple API technologies. The selected API technology is determined to be different than the first API technology. Based on the first contract, a second contract is dynamically generated that specifies an intermediate API that makes use of the selected API technology. A second sidecar of the destination microservice is caused to generate the intermediate API and connect the intermediate API to the first API.
