  • Publication number: 20240061844
    Abstract: An event query host can include an event processor configured to process an event stream indicating events that occurred on a computing device. The event processor can add representations of events to an event graph. If an event added to the event graph is a trigger event associated with a query, the event processor can also add an instance of the query to a query queue. The query queue can be sorted based on scheduled execution times of query instances. At a scheduled execution time of a query instance in the query queue, a query manager of the event query host can execute the query instance and attempt to find a corresponding pattern of one or more events in the event graph.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating min-increment counting bloom filters to determine count and frequency of device identifiers and attributes in a networking environment are disclosed. The system can maintain a set of data records including device identifiers and attributes associated with device in a network. The system can generate a vector comprising coordinates corresponding to counter registers. The system can identify hash functions to update a counting bloom filter. The system can hash the data records to extract index values pointing to a set of counter registers. The system can increment the positions in the min-increment counting bloom filter corresponding to the minimum values of the counter registers. The system can obtain an aggregated public key comprising a public key. The system can encrypt the counter registers using the aggregated shared key to generate an encrypted vector. The system can transmit the encrypted vector to a networked worker computing device.

  • Patent number: 11901751
    Abstract: An indexed sequence of bits in a buffer is allocated for tracking a battery charging state. The indexed sequence of bits has a first number of bits. A battery voltage of a rechargeable battery is sampled at a sampling rate. For each sampled battery voltage, the battery voltage is compared with a voltage threshold. A next bit position in the indexed sequence of bits is identified. In accordance with a determination that a comparison result is true, a predefined first value is added to the next bit position. A second number of bits that are filled with the predefined first value is determined. A ratio between the second number and the first number is also determined. In accordance with a determination that the ratio exceeds a threshold step-down ratio, a battery charge voltage is stepped down. The rechargeable battery is charged to a step-down voltage.

  • Publication number: 20240042519
    Abstract: A smart molten metal pump system and method automatically controls the operating speed of the pump rather than requiring an operator to control the speed. The system includes a pump, a controller for controlling the speed of the pump and one or more vibration sensors (such as an accelerometer) to measure vibration. The controller receives input about the vibration of the pump or one or more pump components, and possibly other data, such as the temperature of the molten metal, and/or the depth of the molten metal, ad/or parameters related to the operation of the pump. The controller analyzes the one or more inputs to vary the speed of the pump, turn the pump off, and/or send a communication to an operator.
