  • Patent number: 11875657
    Abstract: A method and system for Proactive Loss Prevention (PLP) System in venue and retail using wireless-based technology. Physical security measures are the first line of defense for protecting assets in any venue and retail spaces. These systems (e.g. Electronic Article Surveillance systems) are widely deployed in retail spaces. However, retail theft is still estimated at a multibillion dollar level on an annual basis in the US alone. This invention augments existing physical security systems to enable a proactive approach for suspect identification and subsequent presence alerting using a wireless local area network (WLAN) based system.

  • Patent number: 11833625
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for welding asset tracking with heartbeat monitoring are disclosed. In some examples, a welding asset tracking system may comprise an asset tracking network of tags, hubs, and/or gateways retained by welding assets within a welding area. The welding asset tracking system may generate heartbeat signals that certain welding assets may require for normal operation, so as to ensure the welding assets are used in appropriate welding contexts and/or welding areas. In some examples, information obtained from the asset tracking network may be used to determine whether one or more heartbeat signals should be discontinued.

  • Patent number: 11831776
    Abstract: A system allows a user to store his personally identifiable information (PII) on a personal device. When a third party wants to access the user's PII (e.g., to update the PII or to retrieve the PII), a notification will be presented to the user on the personal device seeking consent to the access. The notification may inform the user as to what information is being requested and which entity is requesting the access. The requested access will be denied unless the user consents to the access. In this manner, the user is given control over the dissemination of his PII. Additionally, the system alters or adjusts the PII that is stored in third-party servers so that even if these servers are breached, the user's actual PII is not exposed.

  • Patent number: 11832244
    Abstract: In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) may receive an uplink (UL) grant (e.g., dynamic UL grant, UL configured grant (CG)) from a network, but may decide to skip the UL grant altogether or not transmit any user plane data on the UL grant. In such instances, the UE may maintain or expedite expiration associated with one or more timers (e.g., discontinuous reception (DRX) and bandwidth part (BWP) inactivity timers, secondary cell (SCell) deactivation timer, etc.). The UE may also maintain or expedite expiration associated with one or more timers if it receives downlink (DL) transmission (e.g., DL semi-persistent scheduling (SPS)) from the network that includes no user plane data.

  • Patent number: 11829513
    Abstract: When a third party wants to redeem a user's personally identifiable information (PII), the third party presents to the system a token representing the PII, which indicates a request for the PII. The system seeks consent from the user for sending the PII to the third party. If the user grants consent, then the system prepares the PII for the third party. In some embodiments, the third party can initiate a telephone call with a dispatch to receive the PII. In some embodiments, the third party can receive the PII directly from the system.

  • Patent number: 11806932
    Abstract: A three-dimensional printing system includes a resin vessel containing resin, an imaging bar, a movement mechanism coupled to the imaging bar, and a controller. The imaging bar includes an arrangement of light emitting devices that selectively emit radiation from an exit surface of the imaging bar to define a build plane in the resin. The exit surface of the imaging bar is preferably less than 10 millimeters from the build plane. The controller is configured to scan the imaging bar along a scan axis and, concurrent with scanning, operate the imaging bar to selectively image a layer of resin at the build plane.

  • Patent number: 11804816
    Abstract: A flexible multi-path RF adaptive tuning network switch architecture that counteracts impedance mismatch conditions arising from various combinations of coupled RF band filters, particularly in a Carrier Aggregation-based (CA) radio system. In one version, a digitally-controlled tunable matching network is coupled to a multi-path RF switch in order to provide adaptive impedance matching for various combinations of RF band filters. Optionally, some or all RF band filters include an associated digitally-controlled filter pre-match network to further improve impedance matching. In a second version, some or all RF band filters coupled to a multi-path RF switch include a digitally-controlled phase matching network to provide necessary per-band impedance matching. Optionally, a digitally-controlled tunable matching network may be included on the common port of the multi-path RF switch to provide additional impedance matching capability.

  • Patent number: 11802127
    Abstract: The invention relates to a compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4 are as defined herein. The invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds and salts, and to methods and uses of such compounds, salts and compositions for the treatment of abnormal cell growth, including cancer, in a subject in need thereof. The invention further relates to solid forms of 8-((2-fluoro-4-(methylthio)phenyl)amino)-2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-7-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2,7-naphthyridine-1,6(2H,7H)-dione.

  • Patent number: 11803622
    Abstract: When personally identifiable information (PII) is to be stored or updated, a system first seeks consent from the user for the PII store or update. If the user grants consent, then the system stores the PII in the user's personal device or updates the PII stored in the user's personal device. The system then retrieves that PII and generates a token representing that PII. Even if the token were taken by a malicious user, it would not be possible for the malicious user to determine the user's actual PII from the token. In this manner, the security of the PII is improved over conventional systems.
