  • Publication number: 20240114031
    Abstract: The disclosed technology teaches a method for customers of an organization to perform configuration at runtime for authentication journeys used by the customer's users, to simplify authentication trees, and to delegate configuration to the customer's administrators, wherein an authentication tree implements an authentication journey, the authentication tree including authentication nodes and edges connecting the authentication nodes. The method includes configuring an editable script and an authentication node used in the authentication tree in response to a user invocation of the authentication journey by executing a factory method that applies configuration parameters to the editable script and to parameters used to access an API.

  • Publication number: 20220090883
    Abstract: A projectile target preferably for archery practice is provided, which includes an improved construction for assembling the target and capturing arrows and other similar projectiles while preventing the arrows and similar projectiles from penetrating entirely through the target and projecting through or exiting the opposite side of the target. The target may be provided in a two-sided configuration with target patterns on both opposite faces of the target body. The main target body preferably is formed of a layered construction with at least first and second target layers which are joined in facing relation to form the main target body. The first and second target layers form first and second halves of the main body, which are joined together in facing relation to define a central plane in which a puncture resistant middle layer section is formed.

  • Patent number: 11022647
    Abstract: A method of reconfiguring a current debug configuration of a debug unit connected to a peripheral circuit on an integrated circuit chip. The method comprises the debug unit collecting debug data of the peripheral circuit and outputting the debug data in a message stream. The debug unit receives a debug reconfiguration command. The debug unit transmits an indication of the current debug configuration, then reconfigures the current debug configuration to a new debug configuration in accordance with the debug reconfiguration command, then transmits an indication of the new debug configuration. The indication of the current debug configuration and the indication of the new debug configuration are transmitted adjacent to the debug data in the message stream.

  • Patent number: 10924711
    Abstract: An underwater camera assembly for remotely viewing underwater video includes a pole that is gripped by a user thereby facilitating the user to extend the pole into a body of water. A disk is pivotally coupled to the pole such that the disk can be submerged in the body of water. A plurality of cameras is each coupled to the disk to capture underwater images. A display unit is coupled to the pole such that the display unit is visible to the user. The display unit is in electrical communication with each of the cameras. Thus, the display unit displays the imagery captured by the cameras to facilitate the user to see the underwater images.

  • Patent number: 10796080
    Abstract: An Artificial Intelligence (AI) based document processing system receives a request including one or more documents related to a process to be automatically executed. The information including the fields and an intent required for the process are extracted from one or more of the request and the documents. The required documents and fields are selected based on the intent and a domain model. The required fields are validated using external knowledge and the discrepancies identified therein are resolved. An internal master document is built based on the required fields. The internal master document is employed for the automatic execution of the process.

  • Patent number: 10555653
    Abstract: A cyclonic vacuum cleaner including a suction inlet fluidly connected in series to a vac-motor for drawing a dirty airflow in through the suction inlet. The suction inlet is fluidly connected downstream to both a first cyclonic separator and to a flow device via a flow junction, the flow junction configured for dividing the dirty airflow into two separate airflows, a first airflow passing through the first cyclonic separator and a second airflow passing through the flow device, thus stepping down the dirty airflow through the first separator compared to the dirty airflow through the suction inlet. The flow device is either a second cyclonic separator, an air filter or an air turbine. A screening member is upstream of the flow device for screening out dirt particles from the second airflow so that the dirt particles are retained in the first airflow, thus “concentrating” dust loading in the first airflow.

  • Patent number: 10088523
    Abstract: An integrated circuit chip comprising system circuitry and debugging circuitry. The system circuitry comprises a peripheral circuit. The debugging circuitry comprises a debug unit and a debug adapter. The debug unit is connected to the peripheral circuit. The debug adapter interfaces between the debug unit and a debug controller. The debug adapter is configured to receive a sequence of debug commands from the debug controller, each debug command instructing the debug unit to perform an action other than responding to a poll. In respect of each debug command, the debug adapter sends the debug command to the debug unit, and polls the debug unit to query whether the debug unit has performed the action instructed in that debug command.

  • Patent number: 9676122
    Abstract: A method reclaims metalized polymer film or mixtures containing metal and/or metal alloys into a metal-containing, polymeric film. The resulting film structure has better oxygen and moisture barrier properties when metalized than plain metalized polymer films. The polymer to be reclaimed, originates in sheet form, and is densified, as by shredding, pelletizing and/or re-extruding into fine particulate form such as chips or pellets. The reclaimed polymeric film can be used, in a range of concentrations, to produce biaxially oriented polyester film for metalizing.

  • Patent number: 9603498
    Abstract: A vacuum cleaner having a vac motor and a separating assembly for separating out dust particles entrained in an airflow drawn through the separator by the vac motor. The separating assembly is a multi-stage separating assembly comprising a primary separation stage and a secondary, non-cyclonic separation stage which is downstream of the primary separation stage, the non-cyclonic separation stage comprising a flow bend for changing the direction of the airflow thereby to separate out dust particles entrained in the airflow. A primary dust collector is provided for collecting dust particles separated out by the first separation stage, and a secondary dust collector is provided for collecting the dust particles separated out by the flow bend, wherein the primary dust collector at least partly surrounds the secondary dust collector.
