  • Publication number: 20250035811
    Abstract: Provided are scanning systems including shield curtain assemblies. A shield curtain assembly may include at least one shield curtain comprising a first material and may further include a low friction material layer. The low friction material layer may comprise a second material having a lower coefficient of friction than the first material. The low friction material layer may be configured to move independently from the at least one shield curtain. When parcels are moved through the scanning systems, the low friction material layer frictionally engages with the parcels and prevents the parcel from frictionally engaging with the shield curtains. The low friction material layer may be independently replaceable from the at least one shield curtain. The independently movable low friction material layer may improve throughput of the scanning systems, improve parcel tracking reliability of the scanning systems, and reduce operating costs of the scanning systems.

  • Patent number: 12197534
    Abstract: A plurality of chiplets may be used to multiply two matrices A and B. Matrix A may be decomposed into horizontal stripes and matrix B may be decomposed into vertical stripes. Each of the horizontal stripes may be multiplied by each of the vertical stripes to form the output matrix C. Specifically, horizontal stripes may be stored in a stationary, distributed manner across the chiplets, while the vertical stripes (or sub-vertical stripes) may be passed between respective pairs of the chiplets until each of the vertical stripes (or sub-vertical stripes) of matrix B has been received and processed by each of the chiplets. The vertical stripes may be passed along one or more paths that interconnect the chiplets. Similar techniques can be applied to an arrangement in which the vertical stripes are stationary and the horizontal stripes (or sub-horizontal stripes) are passed between respective pairs of the chiplets.

  • Patent number: 12197941
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a framework is provided that helps configure predefined actions on transactions in a process flow, which will be continuously learned using artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning techniques. This allows decision trees to be dynamically built to bypass unnecessary delays, especially as the volume of inputs grows and the variations of decisions become more complex.

  • Publication number: 20250011473
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the area of improved anti-IgE antibodies and antigen binding agents, and compositions thereof, which target IgE, for instance: for use in treating disorders caused by IgE (such as allergic responses, or certain autoimmune responses); and, in particular, disorders caused by the interaction of IgE with the Fc?RI receptor. In particular, this invention relates to improved anti-IgE antibodies and antigen binding agents related to novel mutants of omalizumab (Xolair®). The improved anti-IgE antibodies and antigen binding agents of the invention may have improved affinity for IgE and/or an improved interaction with the C?2 domain of IgE and/or an improved modified epitope on IgE (for instance further involving the C?2 domain of IgE) and/or the ability to disassociate IgE from the Fc?RI receptor for instance at pharmaceutically-relevant concentrations.

  • Patent number: 12190178
    Abstract: Automation solutions for event logging and debugging on KUBERNETES are disclosed. A method for navigating data associated with a distributed application cluster includes providing an edge module configured to deploy a Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) probe and a corresponding BPF program in a computing environment. The BPF probe is triggered based on an event associated with a distributed application running in a user space of the computing environment, the distributed application being one entity of a plurality of entities on the distributed application cluster. Data associated with the event is collected in a kernel space of the computing environment via the BPF program. At least one relationship is identified between the distributed application and at least one entity of the plurality of entities based on the collected data. At least one recommended data set based on the at least one identified relationship is provided via a user interface.

  • Patent number: 12190179
    Abstract: Automation solutions for event logging and debugging on KUBERNETES are disclosed. A system for event logging and debugging on a distributed application cluster includes a user interface and at least one processor for executing instructions. The instructions, when executed, instruct the at least one processor to provide an edge module configured to deploy a Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) probe and a BPF program in a computing environment. The BPF probe is triggered based on an event associated with a distributed application running in a user space of the computing environment. Data associated with the event is collected in a kernel space of the computing environment via the BPF program and transferred from the BPF program to the edge module. A query request associated with the collected data is sent to the edge module. A response corresponding to the collected data is received at the user interface.

  • Patent number: 12182171
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system to provide information associated with a user device from a server to the user device without disclosing the association to the server. Data structures, created at the server, contain information such as information about restaurants, mechanics, medical conditions, etc. The server creates bundles including two or more data structures containing disparate information, and a unique identifier for each bundle. The server creates a table of contents indicating the unique identifier of a bundle and the information contained in the bundle and sends the table of contents to the device. The server receives the unique identifier of the bundle and provides the bundle having the unique identifier to the device. While the bundle contains the information associated with the user device, because the bundle contains disparate information. the server does not know which information is associated with the user device.
