  • Publication number: 20240412304
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein may include a memory and a computing a system in communication with said memory. The computing system may be configured to receive data from network management systems. In one embodiment, the network management system includes a network gateway. Users at venues may access external network resources using the network management system. Further, the network management systems may extract device identifiers from network packets sent from user devices to request access to external network resources. In some embodiments, the network management system may provide transmission control protocol handshake completion data to user devices. In some embodiments, the computing system also receives one or more attributes associated with the venue, user data associated with the user device, and connection data associated with communication between the user device and said external network resource.

  • Publication number: 20240156859
    Abstract: The invention describes ophthalmic pharmaceutical formulations comprising pharmaceutical ingredients to address DED symptoms. In one aspect of the invention, an ophthalmic pharmaceutical formulation comprises: 1) lubricity-promoting ingredient(s) such as those listed in the FDA over the counter (OTC) monograph for ophthalmics as demulcents and 2) surfactant(s) that solubilize lipids, assist in lubrication, and assist in easily spreading over hydrophobic surfaces; and/or 3) lipid and/or oil ingredient(s) that assist in film formation and the spreading of tear fluid while promoting (or at least not inhibiting) lubrication; and/or 4) mucoadhesive and viscosity promoting polymer(s) that demonstrate shear thinning flow behavior. The pharmaceutical ingredients and osmoprotectant/tonicity ingredients are combined with ingredients that provide direct to the eye nutritional support that is comprehensive in nature.

  • Patent number: 11264011
    Abstract: The disclosed method may include (1) determining whether a next operation of a plurality of operations of an artificial neural network (ANN) is dependent upon a Boolean predication value based on a representative value for a weight or an input of a node of the ANN, (2) based on the next operation not being dependent on the Boolean predication value, allowing the next operation to update a state of the ANN, and (3) based on the next operation being dependent on the Boolean predication value, performing at least one of (a) allowing, based on the Boolean predication value being a first value, the next operation to update the state of the ANN, and (b) preventing, based on the Boolean predication value being a second value different from the first value, the next operation from updating the state of the ANN. Various other methods and systems are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20200031651
    Abstract: A drink formulating system includes a housing having a housing outlet, a receiving tank receiving water poured by a user, and a pump being configured for pumping water from the receiving tank. A first filter is in fluid communication with the pump for removing a first set of substances from the water. A second filter removes a second set of substances different from the first set of substances from the water obtained from the receiving tank. A second filter outlet is connected to an additive module having at least two additive cartridges, each cartridge supplying a designated composition of potable nutrients. A user-controlled interface allows for user selection of one of the designated nutrient compositions, which are then pumped into water from the chilling tank and distributed from the housing outlet.
