  • Patent number: 11286546
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a ferritic-austenitic stainless steel having good formability and high elongation. The stainless steel is heat treated so that the microstructure of the stainless steel contains 45-75% austenite in the heat treated condition, the remaining microstructure being ferrite, and the measured Md30 temperature of the stainless steel is adjusted between 0 and 50° C. in order to utilize the transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) for improving the formability of the stainless steel.

  • Patent number: 11263500
    Abstract: A method for designating a given image as similar/dissimilar with respect to a reference image is provided. The method includes normalizing the image. Normalizing includes performing pre-processing and a lossy compression on the given image to obtain a lossy representation. The pre-processing includes at least one of cropping, fundamental extracting, gray scale converting and lower color bit converting. The method also includes comparing the lossy representation of the given image with a reference representation, which is a version of a reference spam image after the reference spam image has undergone a similar normalizing process as normalizing. The method further includes, if the lossy representation of the given image matches the reference representation, designating the given image similar to the reference image. The method yet also includes, if the lossy representation of the given image does not match the reference representation, designating the given image dissimilar to the reference image.

  • Patent number: 11262174
    Abstract: A control system for controlling operation of a fluid delivery system that includes a first and second pumps for delivering first and second fluids for mixing. A controller includes a first pump map having a first pump flow rate mapped against a control output signal, and a second pump map having a second pump flow rate mapped against a control output signal. The controller determines the control output signal for the first pump to obtain a desired flow rate from the first pump, and the control output signal for the second pump to obtain a target flow rate and a target percentage of the second fluid relative to the first fluid or a target percentage of the second fluid relative to an overall fluid flow. The output signals for the first and second pumps are determined using the first and second pump maps.

  • Patent number: 11207561
    Abstract: The present invention is described as one set containing a pair of pushup grips. Each grip includes a longitudinal hand support connected to two separate base supports. Each base support has a spring-loaded connection mechanism for rotation between a compact storage position and an active engaged position. The base supports are identical configurations, with a channel through the top of the length for the storage position, a channel through the top of the width for the active position, with a dampening tread covering the bottom of each base support. The longitudinal hand support optionally includes padding for added hand comfort and ring connectors on each end cap to attach to a resistance band.

  • Patent number: 11182481
    Abstract: A system for evaluating files for cyber threats includes a machine learning model and a locality sensitive hash (LSH) repository. When the machine learning model classifies a target file as normal, the system searches the LSH repository for a malicious locality sensitive hash that is similar to a target locality sensitive hash of the target file. When the machine learning model classifies the target file as malicious, the system checks if response actions are enabled for the target file. The system reevaluates files that have been declared as normal, and updates the LSH repository in the event of false negatives. The system disables response actions for files that have been reported as false positives.

  • Patent number: 11101995
    Abstract: A computer network includes a camera node, a network access node, a verification node, and a display node. Video content recorded by a camera at the camera node is transmitted to the display node and to the verification node for verification. The video content is verified at the display node and at the verification node. Recording metadata of the video content is stored in a distributed ledger and retrieved by the display node to verify the video content. The verification node receives, from the network access node, verification data for verifying the video content.

  • Publication number: 20210126953
    Abstract: A network element of an Internet Protocol multimedia subsystem buffers network resource usage information in the cloud. After generating network resource usage information based on an observation of network resource usage, the network element transmits the network resource usage information to a cloud-based storage service for buffering. Once a network resource usage collection function is available, the network element retrieves the network resource usage information from the cloud-based storage service and transmits it to a charging collection function for generation of call detail records.

  • Patent number: 10895567
    Abstract: A method which distinctly characterizes and quantifies the pyritic sulfur and the organic sulfur of a sedimentary rock sample. A rock sample is subjected to a heating sequence in an inert atmosphere which produces effluents resulting which are continuously oxidized. SO2 is continuously measured, and a pyrolysis sulfur content and a pyrolysis pyritic sulfur content are deduced therefrom. The residue from heating in an inert atmosphere is then heated in an oxidizing atmosphere. Released SO2 is continuously measured and at least an oxidation sulfur content is deduced therefrom. The pyritic sulfur content is determined from pyrolysis, a weighting function, a second parameter representing the impact of the mineral matrix and a third parameter representing the impact of the organic matrix.
