  • Publication number: 20250031047
    Abstract: One embodiment provides a method, the method including: receiving, at a device validation system and utilizing a wireless communication mechanism, current state information identifying a current configuration of a device; obtaining, using the device validation system and from a data store including trusted state information for a plurality of devices, trusted state information for the device that identifies a trusted configuration of the device; identifying, using the device validation system, a modification state of the device by comparing the current state information to the trusted state information of the device; and providing, at an output component of the device validation system, a notification indicating whether the device has been modified from the trusted state information based upon the identified modification state of the device. Other aspects are claimed and described.

  • Publication number: 20250021416
    Abstract: A system for determining the status of an electronic device is provided that can include a diagnostic device having a memory to store executable instructions and one or more processors. When implementing the executable instructions, the one or more processors are configured to, in response to coupling to an electronic device, communicate diagnostic code to the electronic device related to a boot sequence of the electronic device and configure the electronic device with the diagnostic code to dynamically adjust the boot sequence of the electronic device to provide a secure output mode. The one or more processors can be also configured to receive a diagnostic state of the electronic device while operating in the secure output mode and communicate the diagnostic state to a user.

  • Publication number: 20250021930
    Abstract: A system for inventory management of a one-of-a-kind product with a single quantity includes at least one physical store for displaying the product for sale in a physical slot of a grid, one or more online sales platforms to list a product identifier associated with the product, and an inventory database to associate and store product information of the product with the product identifier. The system includes an inventory management server to generate a webpage including a graphical representation of the grid including a plurality of virtual slots corresponding to the physical slots in the grid, receive position data of the physical slot having the product inserted, and overlay an image of the product on a virtual slot corresponding to the physical slot. The inventory management server further displays the webpage with the image of the product overlaid on the virtual slot and update the trading status of the product.

  • Publication number: 20240362465
    Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI)-based systems and methods for AI application development using codeless creation of AI workflows is disclosed. The system receives request for creating an artificial intelligence (AI)-based workflow from the user device. Further, the system obtains input data from data sources and pre-process the obtained data using AI based pre-processing model. Further, the system identifies plurality of AI and Generative AI service nodes to be executed on the pre-processed data. The system further generates an AI-based workflow by connecting AI and Generative AI service nodes. Further, the system generates a metadata for AI and Generative AI service nodes by executing each of the identified plurality of AI and Generative AI service nodes. The system validates the metadata based on AI-based rules. Furthermore, the system determines actions to be performed on the metadata based on results of validation and performs the set of actions on the AI-based workflow.

  • Patent number: 11859929
    Abstract: Provided is a firearm stock having a butt stock assembly and a lack mechanism. The butt stock assembly pivotable between an extended position and a folded position. The latch mechanism is operable to selectively lock the butt stock assembly in the extended position. The latch mechanism has a latch lever rotatable between open and locked positions and has a tooth that engages a cammed socket. Moving the latch lever toward the locked position tensions the latch lever to bias the butt stock into the extended position without mechanical play.

  • Patent number: 11293715
    Abstract: A firearm with a compound lever trigger mechanism includes a first member pivotally attached to a firearm receiver at a first pivot and a first lever arm extending away from the first pivot attachment point to a sear. The first member is pivotable between a first position where the sear engages a firing element and a second position where the sear does not engage the firing element. A trigger member is pivotally attached to the first member first lever arm with a trigger blade arm extending away from the second pivot in one direction and a bearing arm extending away in another direction toward bearing contact with a surface of the receiver. Pulling the trigger blade arm causes the trigger member to pivot relative to the first member and the bearing arm to move in bearing contact against the receiver, thereby pivoting the lever arm from the first position to the second position.
