  • Publication number: 20240259388
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for data management are described. A data management system (DMS) may implement multi-tenancy role based access control (RBAC). A DMS that provides backup and recovery to multiple tenants may assign a data management cluster to a tenant organization, or specific resources from a data management cluster to a tenant, allowing multiple tenants to share a single data management cluster. The assignment of resources of the data management cluster respects the hierarchical relationship among computing objects, for example, assigning a top-level resource to a tenant implicitly assigns the descendent resources that descend from that top-level resource to the tenant.

  • Publication number: 20240256575
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for data management are described. A multi-tenancy data management system (DMS) may include multiple computing objects organized as a hierarchy of computing objects. The DMS may receive a request for report data associated with a first set of computing objects of the DMS. The DMS may identify context information for a log-in session associated with the request. The context information may include a tenant identifier (ID) for a tenant associated with the request. The DMS may apply a filter to the first set of computing objects. The filter may be based on a second set of computing objects to which the tenant has access within the hierarchy of computing objects. The DMS may output the report data for at least one computing object of the first set based on the at least one computing object being included in the second set of computing objects.

  • Patent number: 12051022
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed are directed to a computing system that performs steps to automatically identify risk control features and entities in a risk control document. The computing system uses a generative machine learning (ML) model to transform a risk control document into sequences of words, classify risk control features associated with the sequences of words, and pair the sequences of words with the classified risk control features. The computing system then uses a natural language processing (NLP) model to identify syntactic characteristics of the sequences of words. Subsequently, the computing system uses a discriminative predictor system to correct the classified risk control features based on the identified syntactic characteristics, identify boundaries of the corrected classified risk control features, and pair the identified boundaries with the corrected classified risk control features.

  • Patent number: 12051208
    Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) depth imaging systems and methods are disclosed for dynamic container auto-configuration. A 3D-depth camera captures 3D image data of a shipping container located in a predefined search space during a shipping container loading session. An auto-configuration application determines a representative container point cloud and (a) loads an initial pre-configuration file that defines a digital bounding box having dimensions representative of the predefined search space and an initial front board area; (b) applies the digital bounding box to the container point cloud to remove front board interference data from the container point cloud based on the initial front board area; (c) generates a refined front board area based on the shipping container type; (d) generates an adjusted digital bounding box based on the refined front board area; and (e) generates an auto-configuration result comprising the adjusted digital bounding box containing at least a portion of the container point cloud.

  • Publication number: 20240242935
    Abstract: A method for etching in plasma processing in a plasma chamber, including continually rotating between a first etch cycle and a second etch cycle for a period of time to etch a feature in a masked substrate. The method including performing the first etch cycle on the masked substrate using a first etching chemistry for a first sub-period. The first etch cycle is continually rotated between a first state configured for passivation, a second state, and third state configured for etching the masked substrate. During the second state of the first etch cycle, a first tuning step is performed by tuning the first etching chemistry, a high frequency RF power and a low frequency RF power to provide extended passivation to the feature in the masked substrate. The method including performing the second etch cycle on the masked substrate using a second etching chemistry for a second sub-period.

  • Publication number: 20240186759
    Abstract: A connection system to facilitate the mechanical coupling, and the transfer of electrical power between, trunk sections of an artificial tree is disclosed. The connection system can include a mechanical coupling system having a guiding surface and a guiding slot on a first trunk section and a guiding protrusion disposed inside a second trunk section. Insertion of the first trunk section into the second trunk section and thus contact of the guiding protrusion against the guiding surface can cause the first trunk section to rotate relative the second trunk section until a predetermined rotational alignment is reached, aligning electrical contacts of first and second electrical connectors, each of which is attached to an outer wall of a respective trunk section. The electrical contacts of the first and second electrical connectors can establish electrical communication between the first and second electrical connectors, and thus between the first and second trunk sections.

  • Publication number: 20240148453
    Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for detecting a position of an object with a robot surgical system having an articulable, separable camera stand. The surgical robot system may include a robot having a robot base with a robot arm and an end-effector coupled to the robot arm. The end-effector, surgical instruments, the patient, other objects, or any combination thereof, may be tracked via active and/or passive tracking markers. A camera, such as an infrared camera, a bifocal camera or a stereophotogrammetric infrared camera, is mounted on a separable camera stand and is able to detect the tracking markers when in use. Using the camera, the robot determines a position of the object from the tracking markers, which may be a three-dimensional position of the object or the markers. When convenient, the camera base may be assembled into the robot base, e.g., by sliding the camera base into the robot.

    Abstract: A surgical robot system includes a robot having a robot base and a robot arm coupled to the robot base, and a surgical retractor. The surgical retractor includes a retractor frame, a coupler, blades, a force and/or torque sensor, and a force and/or torque feedback determination unit. The retractor frame includes arms that are translatably and/or pivotably connected to the retractor frame. The coupler releasably attaches the retractor frame to the robot arm. The blades are each coupled to and extend away from a distal end of one of the arms. The force and/or torque sensor is connected to the blades and indicates an amount of force and/or torque being applied to the blades from contact with material of a surgical site. The force and/or torque feedback determination unit determines the amount of force and/or torque being applied to the blades based on the indication.
