  • Publication number: 20260096572
    Abstract: A plant based cheese is made of a protein such as cashew protein, liquid low saturated fat vegetable oil, cultures and modified food starches. The ingredients are combined to form an emulsion, which is heated and held at a selected temperature for a selected time such that starches gelatinize. Shear is applied to the emulsion. The emulsion is liquid at the selected temperature but when cooled, the emulsion becomes solid. In its solid state, when it is heated, the product melts, closely resembling certain dairy cheeses. The liquid oil has relatively low saturated fat.

  • Publication number: 20260072891
    Abstract: A size of a neighbor graph vector index can be estimated. The neighbor graph vector index can be an index of neighbor vertices for a graph-based approximate nearest neighbor search in a vector database. A vector memory pool size of a vector memory pool in a database instance memory can be determined based on the estimated size of the neighbor graph vector index. The database instance memory contains data and control information for a database instance. The neighbor graph vector index can be stored in the vector memory pool. An operation affecting available space in the database instance memory can be detected. The vector memory pool size can be automatically adjusted in response to detecting the operation.

  • Publication number: 20250182709
    Abstract: Often when there is a glare on a display screen the user may be able to mitigate the glare by tilting or otherwise moving the screen or changing their viewing position. However, when driving a car there are limited options for overcoming glares on the dashboard, especially when you are driving for a long distance in the same direction. Embodiments are directed to eliminating such glare. Other embodiments are related to mixed reality (MR) and filling in occluded areas.

  • Patent number: 12229160
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for optimizing workload performance by automatically discovering and implementing performance optimizations for in-memory units (IMUs). A system maintains a set of IMUs for processing database operations in a database. The system obtains a database workload information for the database system and filters the database workload information to identify database operations in the database workload information that may benefit from performance optimizations. The system analyzes the database operations to identify a set of performance optimizations and ranks the performance optimizations based on their potential benefit. The system selects a subset of the performance optimizations, based on their ranking, and generates new versions of IMUs that reflect the performance optimizations. The system performs verification tests on the new versions of IMUs and analyzes the tests to determine whether the new versions of IMUs yield expected performance benefits.
