  • Patent number: 12166401
    Abstract: A system and method for generating rotation of a body includes a rotating body configured to rotate about a rotation axis, at least one permanent flanking magnet and a bias object (or material non-uniformity) both arranged at least partially on or within the rotating body, and a drive or ring element. An axial gap between the ring element and the rotating body exists in an axial direction parallel to the rotation axis. The ring element may be a ferrous body, permanent magnet or electromagnet, and the bias object may be made from one or more materials of magnetic states, such as magnetic, ferromagnetic, paramagnetic, and diamagnetic or be a change in material properties of the rotating body. In some embodiments, a center of the ring element is not aligned with the rotation axis.

  • Patent number: 12166256
    Abstract: A method for servicing a duplexer having a cavity resonator defining an opening covered by an RF plate. The RF plate defines an opening through which a pass-band tuning pipe extends and is secured thereto. A collar is attached to one end of the pipe, and at least one steel set screw extends into the interior of the collar, the at least one end having a soft (e.g., brass) tip. A tuning plunger is slidingly positioned within the pass-band tuning pipe. A rod is attached to a first end of the tuning plunger and extends through the collar, the rod being fabricated from a material harder than the tip of the at least one set screw. The at least one set screw is configured for tightening down on the rod to secure the rod and tuning plunger in place. A trimmer capacitor is positioned in the RF plate.

  • Publication number: 20240105171
    Abstract: Techniques for enabling access in a multi-assistant speech processing system are described, where a first assistant system may use components of a second assistant system as data processing components. Runtime operational data and user input data related to the first assistant may be kept separate from the processing data and input data related to the second assistant by propagating a first account ID, for user inputs directed to the first assistant, through the processing pipeline, and using a second account for user inputs directed to the second assistant. A mapping between the first account ID and the second account ID may be accessible to a select number of system components. Handoffs between the two assistants are handled in a manner where data related to one assistant is not accessible by the other assistant.

  • Patent number: 11922938
    Abstract: A multi-assistant speech-processing system that centrally determines multiple execution plans to respond to a user input. A central component determines whether a particular input should be processed using a requested assistant or a different assistant or should be terminated. Assistant handoff may be determined based on system policies as well as user input-specific data. A ranked list of execution options may be supplemented by augmented data corresponding to messages to a user. The system may attempt to execute plans in the ranked order until a plan succeeds.

  • Patent number: 11900455
    Abstract: A method, a system, and a computer program product provide a method for managing a decentralized venture capital (“VC”) fund in a decentralized autonomous organization (“DAO”) configured to use a secure communication environment. The method includes securing authentication information, including user authentication information. The securing of the authentication information includes using a public key in the process to encrypt the authentication information and then decomposing the authentication information into subcomponents that are distributed randomly across a plurality of member computers. The method further includes recovering the authentication information by recombining the authentication information from its subcomponents then using a private key in the process to decrypt the authentication information.

  • Publication number: 20230353564
    Abstract: Using a service mesh in a cluster of a communications network to carry out mutual authentication between a session initiation protocol SIP compliant application in the cluster and a SIP device external to the cluster is described. The mutual authentication is accomplished using a certificate of the application that matches a naming system name used for the application. In response to the mutual authentication succeeding, a secure communication session is established between the application and the SIP device external to the cluster. The method comprises modifying SIP messages originating from the application to indicate that a secure communications protocol is in use. The modified SIP message are sent to the SIP device external to the cluster over the secure communication session.

  • Patent number: 11803849
    Abstract: The invention teaches a decentralized autonomous organization (“DAO”) that manages a network of micro home businesses via a secure communication environment. A service provider curates active and passive income opportunities and provides training courses for worker users. A worker user selects a home configured to enable their preferred income opportunities then applies for a mortgage. The mortgage is pre-approved then a bridge loan is provided for construction. After construction is completed, the mortgage retires the bridge loan. Then the worker user occupies the home business and generates active and passive income to pay off the mortgage. Each micro home business is a node in the DAO. The DAO is maintained through competitive bids from service provider users. Disputes are resolved by arbitrator users. The internet of things is used to enable proactive maintenance.

  • Publication number: 20230341384
    Abstract: Optical sensing of biological targets is provided using a metasurface having guided mode resonances with electric field profiles that extend out from the metasurface. Surface functionalization of such metasurfaces can be used to provide sensing for biological targets, such as nucleic acids, proteins, small molecules, extracellular vesicles, and whole cells. Binding of the target to the surface functionalization can affect the resonance wavelength of the guided mode resonances, thereby providing a sensitive assay for the biological targets.
