  • Patent number: 11927932
    Abstract: A system includes a power profile engine, a power measurement engine, and a power throttling signal generator. The power profile engine receives a desired power profile, e.g., a first profile current average associated with a first time duration and a second profile current average associated with a second time duration. The power measurement engine measures current being drawn and generates a first running average for the measured currents for the first time duration and generates a second running average for the measured currents for the second time duration. The power throttling signal generator generates a first power throttling signal to throttle power in response to the first running average for the measured currents being greater than the first profile current average and generates a second power throttling signal to throttle power in response to the second running average for the measured currents being greater than the second profile current average.

  • Publication number: 20240080181
    Abstract: The present invention provides a Multipath blockchain capability to verify blockchain data integrity based on transactions linked to entities that may be device-based or otherwise. Based on an entity's needs, in one embodiment, the Multipath blockchain capability enables the entity reading a block linked to the entity to directly point to only that entity's transactions. The entity's pointer to each path type may be associated with each data record. In an embodiment, each entity's transaction is a separate unit; not bundled with other entity's transactions. Each of these transactions or blocks may be linked to that entity's previous block.

  • Patent number: 11912466
    Abstract: A fuel container having a body defining a volume for receiving fuel. The body has an inlet and optionally a vent. The inlet extends upwards as a spout and has a threaded collar which is closed by a threaded cap. A gas expansion pathway is provided between the inlet and the vent. The spout has a guide for receiving and locating a dog-leg portion of a fuel dispenser nozzle. A restriction in the throat of the spout prevents the fuel dispenser nozzle from being inserted beyond a preselected distance into the container thereby preventing backwash and spillage.

  • Publication number: 20240020915
    Abstract: Techniques include introducing a neural generator configured to produce novel faces that can be rendered at free camera viewpoints (e.g., at any angle with respect to the camera) and relit under an arbitrary high dynamic range (HDR) light map. A neural implicit intrinsic field takes a randomly sampled latent vector as input and produces as output per-point albedo, volume density, and reflectance properties for any queried 3D location. These outputs are aggregated via a volumetric rendering to produce low resolution albedo, diffuse shading, specular shading, and neural feature maps. The low resolution maps are then upsampled to produce high resolution maps and input into a neural renderer to produce relit images.
