  • Publication number: 20250102562
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide testing systems that perform advanced system level testing of multiple devices in parallel over a network connection that provides access to multiple development stations for improved efficiency and access to system level testing. A rack integrated computer (RIC) is coupled to multiple tester racks of single board computers (SBCs) and provides access to the SBCs as development workstations for use over a computer network (e.g., a customer network). SBCs can provide end level testing of devices like smartphones that include several different devices (DUTs). Access to the SBCs as development workstations can be enforced on an IP level under a development license, and the license may be used from any global location using a static IP address and/or virtual private network, for example.

  • Publication number: 20250097272
    Abstract: A data processing system implements techniques for automatically generating visualizations of content for meetings on an online communications platform. The visualizations are interactive and encourage participant engagement. The system automatically generates the visualizations based on a transcript of the meeting and other information associated with the meeting as the meeting is taking place. The system determines a meeting category based on this information and suggests a visualization layout based on the meeting category. The system then automatically generates the visualization using a generative language model. The generative language model generates interactive visualization based on the suggested visualization layout and transcript of the meeting and other information associated with the meeting as the meeting.

  • Patent number: 11938905
    Abstract: Provided herein is a security mounting bracket device that can be used to securely connect a crossbar to a mounted object. The device is shaped to form a contoured fit with the crossbar and adapted for use with a security nut and bolt rendering both nut and bolt unexposed outside of the device and inaccessible to tools that may be used to forcibly remove the mounted object. The security mounting bracket device can be used as an antitheft device as a security socket is required to remove the nut from the security mounting bracket. The contoured fit reduces the movement of the crossbar within the security mounting bracket device therefore reducing vibrationally induced failure of the mount and loss of mounted object. The security mounting bracket device smooth edges and unexposed nut and bolt also make it a safer bracket for the user in assembly.
