  • Publication number: 20250123157
    Abstract: A temperature sensor has a heat-sensitive element contained within a chamber, the heat-sensitive element changing from a first configuration to a second configuration at a predetermined temperature, and a biased member biased towards the chamber. The biased member initially is prevented from entering the chamber when the heat-sensitive element is in the first configuration and enters the chamber when the heat-sensitive element is in the second configuration. In some aspects, the first configuration is solid and the second configuration is liquid and a selectively permeable element is provided to allow the heat-sensitive element to exit the chamber in the liquid configuration. An indicator can be provided that has a plurality of feet initially held in a retained configuration by the biased member until the biased member enters the chamber to release the feet for sliding motion of the indicator.

  • Publication number: 20250071156
    Abstract: Temporary access to a digital whiteboard is enabled for conference participants during a conference (e.g., a video conference). Based on a request to share a digital whiteboard with conference participants during a conference, ones of the conference participants to which to grant temporary access permissions for the digital whiteboard are determined. The temporary access permissions are granted to enable the ones of the conference participants to access the digital whiteboard during the conference. Based on an event occurrence, which may, for example, correspond to a termination of the conference or a disconnection of an owner of the digital whiteboard from the conference, the temporary access permissions are revoked to restrict further access to the digital whiteboard by the ones of the conference participants.

  • Publication number: 20250053405
    Abstract: A digital image representation may be created by a distributed platform system for a site based on each of the plurality of user-specific actions. The digital image representation may be created by determining a current state of the site from one or more application components of the site, computing a desired state for the site to reach from the current state at some point in time, and creating the digital image representation for the site using the computed desired state to be reached by the site at some point in time. The distributed platform system uses one or more digital models for creating the digital image representation for the site. The distributed platform system may be configured to update the site to reach the desired state based on the digital image representation of the site, at some point in time.

  • Publication number: 20250055751
    Abstract: A method for unjoining and rejoining clusters of computing nodes in edge site computing networks to reduce the impact of interruption to connectivity between computing nodes is presented. The method includes accessing a cluster of computing nodes executing on an edge site computing network. The cluster of computing nodes includes a plurality of follower computing nodes and a leader computing node. The method further includes detecting an interruption to connectivity established between the leader computing node and one or more of the plurality of follower computing nodes. In response to detecting the interruption to connectivity, the method includes bifurcating the cluster of computing nodes into a first subcluster of computing nodes and a second subcluster of computing nodes. In response to detecting a restoration of connectivity, the method includes recombining the first subcluster of computing nodes and the second subcluster of computing nodes.

  • Patent number: 12052225
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a data sharing platform performs a series of data operations to provide different types of data via different sharing services of the data sharing platform that are derived from data shared by a particular data owner. The data sharing platform generates tag data associated with the particular data owner for one or more of the series of data operations. The data sharing platform determines, based on the tag data, an attribution chain that links the data shared by the particular data owner to the different types of data provided via the different sharing services. The data sharing platform sends an indication of the attribution chain for display.
