  • Patent number: 12204484
    Abstract: One example of an IP KVM device includes a USB port, a display port, a communication port, a network port, and a processor communicatively coupled to the USB port, display port, communication port, and network port. The USB port may be communicatively coupled to a host device to receive first USB signals from the host device. The display port may be communicatively coupled to the host device to receive first display signals from the host device. The communication port may be communicatively coupled to a secondary IP KVM device to receive second USB signals from the host device and second display signals from the host device. The network port may be communicatively coupled to a network. The processor is to aggregate the first and second USB signals and the first and second display signals and output the aggregated USB signals and display signals via the network port.

  • Patent number: 12153623
    Abstract: A method and system of matching a first product with a second product. The method including converting first product metadata with image metadata and textual data to a first product feature vector. Further, determining a distance between the first product feature vector and a second product feature vector of the second product, the second product feature vector stored in a database of product feature vectors. The distance is compared to a threshold distance, and if the distance is within the threshold distance, validating a match between the first product feature vector and the second product feature vector. The validating further includes geometrically verifying the image metadata of the first product corresponds to image metadata of the second product.

  • Patent number: 10522880
    Abstract: A method of detecting metallic lithium present on an electrode of a lithium ion secondary battery includes depositing a lithium-reactive solution including an oxidized fluorescent dye onto the electrode to form a coated electrode. Concurrent to depositing, the method includes reducing the oxidized fluorescent dye to form a reduced dye and a plurality of lithium ions. The method further includes, after reducing, drying the coated electrode to again form the oxidized fluorescent dye. After drying, the method includes exposing the oxidized fluorescent dye to ultraviolet radiation having a wavelength of from 100 nm to 500 nm to thereby illuminate and detect the metallic lithium. A lithium ion secondary battery system is also disclosed.
