  • Publication number: 20250148214
    Abstract: A neuro-symbolic retrieval augmented generation hybrid method includes detecting an incomplete entigen group within a knowledge database. The incomplete entigen group includes entigens and one or more entigen relationships between at least some of the entigens. The incomplete entigen group represents knowledge of a topic. The method further includes obtaining additive content for the topic based on the incomplete entigen group and generating an additive entigen group based on the additive content. The method further includes updating the incomplete entigen group utilizing the additive entigen group to produce an updated entigen group. The method further includes indicating that the updated entigen group has an un-curated status when the additive entigen group conflicts with the incomplete entigen group.

  • Publication number: 20250150655
    Abstract: Methods, systems and architectures for video and/or audio processing and distribution are described. More particularly, a just in time transcoder/transcoding (JITT) is employed. If a matching optimal asset segment with calculated optimal asset attributes requested by a client device is not stored in a server, the server is configured to invoke the just in time transcoder (JITT) to produce the matching optimal asset segment by transcoding from one or more assets stored in an asset storage device to fulfill the request of client device.

  • Publication number: 20250148207
    Abstract: A method executed by a computing device includes determining a set of identigens for each widely-known word of a query to produce sets of identigens. A set of identigens of the sets of identigens represents one or more different meanings of a word of the query. The method further includes determining another set of identigens for a remaining word to produce an alternate set of identigens. The method further includes selecting an identigen for each set of identigens to produce a query entigen group. The method further includes matching the query entigen group to a set of response entigens to produce a response entigen group as a query response.

  • Publication number: 20250143372
    Abstract: A vaporizer includes a reservoir (or cartridge) to hold a precursor composition. The reservoir has a passageway that is configured to not allow the free flow of the precursor composition out of the reservoir at ambient temperatures. An infrared radiation source, when activated, heats the precursor composition reducing its viscosity. An entrainment passageway is in communication with an exterior end of the passageway such that when an air flow is induced to pass through the entrainment passageway, the air flow draws the heated precursor composition from the passageway entrains it in the air flow. The entrained precursor may be vaporized and/or further vaporized by heat from the infrared radiation source before being inhaled by the user.

  • Publication number: 20250138814
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and computer program product are provided for deploying software using a versioning schema. An n-dimensional string is obtained that describes a version of a component, wherein a value for each dimension describes a particular feature of the component. The n-dimensional string is analyzed using a template to determine each feature of the component. It is determined whether to deploy the version of the component based on the analyzing and based on criteria related to one or more features of the component.

  • Publication number: 20250139900
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for tessellating patches of surfaces in a tile based three dimensional computer graphics rendering system. For each tile in an image a per tile list of primitive indices is derived for tessellated primitives which make up a patch. Hidden surface removal is then performed on the patch and any domain points which remain after hidden surface removal are derived. The primitives are then shaded for display.

  • Patent number: 12289209
    Abstract: A system is described that combines outputs of network simulations, which are used for capacity planning, with empirical data of network element failure probabilities, to produce what traffic utilization is needed for each network device interface to achieve a specified availability target. Utilization of each interface can be captured for each failure case simulated. From this failure data, the utilization distribution for each link can be produced, across all failure cases. This utilization-by-failure data from simulation is combined with the empirical mean-time between failure (MTBF) and mean-time to recovery (MTTR) of each failure from the span reliability data set. This allows for a prediction of what percentage of time the interface is utilized. Thus, a relationship is established between the capacity provisioned and the percentage of time that the capacity will be uncongested. Network devices can then be added to the network to establish the availability target.

  • Patent number: 12287818
    Abstract: A method includes determining a set of identigens for each word of at least some words of a string of words of a query to produce a plurality of sets of identigens. The method further includes interpreting, based on a first knowledge database, the plurality of sets of identigens to produce a first entigen group and generating a first preliminary query response based on the first entigen group. The method further includes interpreting, based on a second knowledge database, the plurality of sets of identigens to produce a second entigen group and generating a second preliminary query response based on the second entigen group. The method further includes comparing the first and second preliminary query responses and when the first preliminary query response and the second preliminary query response are divergent, resolving inconsistencies between the first and second preliminary query responses to produce a final query response.

  • Patent number: 12287455
    Abstract: Provided is an optical element for a lithographic apparatus. The optical element includes a capping layer that includes oxygen vacancies therein. The oxygen vacancies prevent attack of the capping layer by preventing hydrogen and other species from penetrating the capping layer and underlying layers. The capping layer provides a low hydrogen recombination rate enabling hydrogen to clean the surface of the optical element. The capping layer may include an alloyed metal, a mixed metal oxide or a doped metal oxide and it may be a ruthenium capping layer that includes one or more dopants therein.

  • Patent number: 12277303
    Abstract: Different types of media experiences can be developed based on characteristics of the consumer. “Linear” experiences may require execution of a pre-built script, although the script could be dynamically modified by a media production platform. Linear experiences can include guided audio tours that are modified or updated based on the location of the consumer. “Enhanced” experiences include conventional media content that is supplemented with intelligent media content. For example, turn-by-turn directions could be supplemented with audio descriptions about the surrounding area. “Freeform” experiences, meanwhile, are those that can continually morph based on information gleaned from a consumer. For example, a radio station may modify what content is being presented based on the geographical metadata uploaded by a computing device associated with the consumer.
