  • Patent number: 12380120
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, non-transitory computer readable medium, and system for document retrieval include obtaining a query and a document. A prompt generator generates a prompt for a reasoning model based on the query and the document. The reasoning model generates a reasoning result based on the prompt. In some cases, the reasoning result indicates that the document answers the query. A machine learning model provides the document in response to the query based on the reasoning result.

  • Publication number: 20240405864
    Abstract: Methods and systems for transferring data through a one-way transfer (OWT) system using a fault-tolerant data diode. Data from a source computing environment may be converted to an optical signal that is then split into duplicate signals. The duplicate optical signals are received by two receiving devices that have optical receivers. The receiving devices operate as either a primary device or a secondary device to continue transmission of the received data. The operating states of the receiving devices may change based the health or status of the respective devices.

  • Publication number: 20240182659
    Abstract: A method of making an acid neutralizing polymer material includes preparing a first reaction mixture including a buffering agent and an amine salt of either a halogenated tertiary amine or a haloalkyl heterocyclic aromatic amine. The first reaction mixture is added to a first compounding machine and reacted for a time and at a temperature sufficient to produce a neutralized amine. A second reaction mixture including a polyamide material and a strong base is prepared, added to the first reaction product and reacted for a time and at a temperature sufficient to produce the acid neutralizing polymer material. Alternatively, the buffering agent, amine salt of either a halogenated tertiary amine or a haloalkyl heterocyclic aromatic amine, and the polyamide material may be added and reacted for a time and at a temperature sufficient to produce the acid neutralizing polymer material.

  • Publication number: 20240100815
    Abstract: A breathable synthetic roofing underlayment having a hydrophobic nonwoven layer on top to deflect water, a liquid water-resistant and vapour-permeable membrane layer in the middle, and a bottom nonwoven layer which is hydrophilic and has rapid and high liquid water absorbency. This accelerates the movement of liquid water from a roofing deck into the nonwoven bottom layer and increases the rate of transfer of water through the underlayment. The bottom layer comprises a carrier resin and a hydrophilic agent, which may be a polyamide such as polycaprolactam (Nylon 6) or poly(hexamethylene adipamide), a polysorbate or other composition. The underlayment is especially useful for application to wet roofing decks.

  • Publication number: 20230396052
    Abstract: An arc suppression pre-charge circuit includes a source for providing energy to a load and a main contactor selectively closed to provide energy from the source to the load, wherein the main contactor provides an alternate current path from the source to the load and bypasses a pre-charge branch of the circuit when the main contactor is closed. The pre-charge branch includes a voltage-controlled resistor and a control circuit configured to control a resistance of the voltage-controlled resistor.

  • Patent number: 11752773
    Abstract: In one example, a system to fill or drain a reservoir in a printer includes a controller to set a unit to a total capacity of a container divided by an integer greater than 1, a container sensor to sense the container connected to the printer, and a pump to pump, in set unit increments, at least one unit of a printing agent from the container to the reservoir or from the reservoir to the container. In one example, a memory having processor executable instructions to generate a graphical user interface displaying, during the transfer of a printing agent from a container to a reservoir in a printer or from the reservoir to the container, an animation showing a changing volume of the printing agent in the reservoir and a corresponding changing volume of the printing agent in the container.

  • Patent number: 10807362
    Abstract: An example printing subassembly includes a frame having first and second members spaced extending in a first direction. The frame can be removably coupled to a printing device. The first and second members are spaced from each other in a second direction, which is orthogonal to the first direction. The first and second directions are also orthogonal to a third direction. A printbar is coupled to the frame. An alignment system is coupled to the frame and includes at least four alignment features cooperating to constrain translation of the printing subassembly in the third direction and rotation about axes in the first and second directions with respect to the printing device.

  • Patent number: 10438784
    Abstract: A voltage supply system for supplying an RF voltage to an RF resonant load comprising an ion-optical component of a mass spectrometer is disclosed. The system comprises a Direct Digital Synthesizer (“DDS”) arranged and adapted to output an RF voltage. The voltage supply system is arranged and adapted: (i) to vary the frequency of the RF voltage output by the Direct Digital Synthesizer, (ii) to determine a first resonant frequency of the RF resonant load comprising the ion-optical component, and (iii) to determine whether or not the generation of an RF voltage at the first resonant frequency by the Direct Digital Synthesizer would also result in the generation of a spur frequency close to the first resonant frequency.
