  • Patent number: 12164588
    Abstract: A plurality of web pages in a web browser are presented to a user. One or more web pages of the plurality of web pages are navigated in the web browser by following at least one hyperlink. A browser history of the user is stored as a chronological list or recently presented web pages. A determination is made whether a dwell time of the user on a first web page has exceeded a threshold time. In response to determining that the dwell time exceeded the threshold, an of-user-interest tag is added to the first web page stored to the browsing history.

  • Patent number: 12147557
    Abstract: Computer systems and associated methods are disclosed to implement the non-interactive join of privacy-preserving dataset sketches. In some embodiments, an entity can publish a one-time sketch of their dataset that would enable another entity to join their data without exposing private information. The sketch can map, using a hash function, the identities associated with a first value of the dataset to a data structure, in some embodiments. A same or different entity can join the first sketch with a privacy-preserving second sketch of a second dataset that includes added noise, and can determine an estimate of a number of identities that correspond with specific values of the first and second datasets from the joined dataset. The sketch can be published just one time, and therefore does not require separate new private computations with privacy budgeting for each additional party when a join is desired, in some embodiments.

  • Patent number: 12118398
    Abstract: Aspects include computation systems that can identify computation instances that are not capable of being reentrant, or are not reentrant capable on a target architecture, or are non-reentrant as a result of having a memory conflict in a particular execution situation. For example, a system can have a plurality of computation units, each with an independently schedulable SIMD vector. Computation instances can be defined by a program module, and a data element(s) that may be stored in a local cache for a particular computation unit of the plurality. Each local cache does not maintain coherency controls for such data elements. During scheduling, a scheduler can maintain a list of running (or runnable) instances, and attempt to schedule new computation instances by determining whether any new computation instance conflicts with a running instance and responsively defer scheduling. Such memory conflict checks can be conditioned on a flag or other indication of the potential for non-reentrancy.

  • Patent number: 12102771
    Abstract: A pressure regulating or pressure relief device comprises an inlet and an outlet chamber with an outlet. The inlet is in fluid communication with the outlet chamber. A valve seat is located between the inlet and the outlet. A valve member is biased to seal against the valve seat, and displaces from the valve seat by an inlet pressure at the inlet increasing above a pressure threshold to allow a flow of gases from the inlet to the outlet via the outlet chamber. The flow of gases through the outlet causes an outlet pressure in the outlet chamber to act on the valve member together with the inlet pressure to displace the valve member from the valve seat.

  • Publication number: 20240307650
    Abstract: Systems and methods for non-invasive ventilation are provided. The systems may include a gas source that provides breathing gases to a patient through one or more of a primary flow path (PFP) and a flushing flow path (FFP). The system may include a control assembly configured to open and restrict gas flow through the PFP. When the PFP is open, a significant portion of the gas flows through the PFP while the remaining gas flows through the FFP. When the PFP is restricted, a significant portion of the gas flows through the FFP. Increased flow through the FFP may have a high velocity (especially relative to the flow through the PFP). Gas delivered through the FFP may be used to flush dead space. One or both flow paths may contribute to inspiratory positive airway pressure (IPAP), expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP), and/or positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP).
