  • Publication number: 20240293851
    Abstract: A laser ablation system including a multi-angle support structure in the form of a carrier which positions multiple nut plates in an axial position along the same incident angle of the laser beam path. Aligning the axis of the nut plate along the radius of the delivered laser beam path minimizes the need for part manipulation during the laser ablation process to achieve similar cleaning results.

  • Patent number: 12079365
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, machine learning and lineage data may be used to manage data. In some embodiments, a computing system may use lineage data to identify two datasets that may be related. The computing system may determine that a user has access to a derivative dataset but does not have access to an original dataset that was used to create the derivative dataset. In response, the computing system may use a machine learning model to generate a similarity score indicating a level of similarity between the original dataset and the derivative dataset. If the similarity score satisfies a threshold score, the computing system may modify access rights of the user so that the user is unable to access a portion of the data in the derivative dataset.
