Patent number: 11928112Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that use a trained process to reply to a request comprising query data defining a query and context data defining contextual factors for the query from a device. The query is answered by one or more selected APIs of a plurality of APIs that invoke respective services to prepare a response. The trained process determines an execution plan responsive to the query data and the context data and is configured using training to define execution plans comprising selected APIs where a particular API is selected for the plan if it answers at least a portion of the query and the selected APIs together prepare the response optimized for the device according to the context data. The plan is provided to an execution component to execute the plan using the selected APIs and send the response to the requesting device.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: The Toronto-Dominion BankInventors: Milos Dunjic, Martin Albert Lozon, David Samuel Tax, Arthur Carroll Chow, Peter Glen Nairn, Edward James Hood, John Jong-Suk Lee, Arun Victor Jagga

Patent number: 9348730Abstract: A system in which firmware residing in ROM may be upgraded without re-spinning silicon. A one-bit flag may be assigned for each patchable function representing a firmware upgrade. The first statement of each function may check its associated flag and determine if patch-code should be executed in place of the current function residing in ROM. If the flag is not set, the code may continue executing normally. If the flag is set, a function identifier may be placed into a global memory location, and an assembly language “jump” instruction may be executed, redirecting program control to a specified location in a volatile Scratch Read Only Memory (SROM) where the corresponding patched code may be stored. If more than one function is patched, the global identifier may be used to determine which patched function to execute. Using an assembly language “jump” instruction to redirect control results in the patched function's returning normally to its calling function once it has completed executing.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2007Date of Patent: May 24, 2016Assignee: STANDARD MICROSYSTEMS CORPORATIONInventors: Andrew J. Odlivak, Ravindra Kumar, Warren R. Stearns, John Glen Rockford
