  • Publication number: 20250009348
    Abstract: A perforation system for accessing a location in or near a patient's heart is disclosed. The system includes a puncture device having a proximal portion and a distal portion including a distal tip. The system further includes an elongated introducer defining a lumen adapted to receive and allow longitudinal translation of the puncture device therein, the elongated introducer having an introducer proximal portion and an introducer distal portion, the introducer proximal portion including a locking hub. The locking hub includes a slot and an engaging surface configured so that the proximal portion can be positioned in the slot and against the engaging surface, so as to generate a securing frictional force between the proximal portion and the engaging surface, the securing friction force sufficient to inhibit the longitudinal translation of the puncture device with respect to the elongated introducer.

  • Patent number: 12192081
    Abstract: System and method for de-centralized handling of high risk actions across coordinated systems. A monitoring system is used as an action advisor for performing the high risk actions at nodes across coordinated systems. The monitoring system advises performing the actions based on one or more monitoring signals corresponding to the coordinated systems. The process for performing the high risk actions is de-centralized. A metadata substrate system acts as a message broker between the monitoring system and coordinated systems.

  • Publication number: 20250004165
    Abstract: In some implementations, a weather sensing device may include an optical sensor having an optical transmitter and an optical receiver disposed within a housing to sense atmospheric visibility. In addition, the device may include a first plate disposed on the housing in front of the optical transmitter and having a first aperture. The device may include a second plate disposed on the housing in front of the optical receiver and having a second aperture, where the first plate and second plate are arranged such that one of the plates is mounted on the housing above the other one of the plates edgewise in a vertical dimension. Moreover, the device may include a three dimensional corrugated structure disposed between the first and second apertures to reduce or eliminate optical coupling between the optical transmitter and the optical receiver.

  • Publication number: 20250004609
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating dynamic quick actions for an application in a web browser. The dynamic quick actions correspond to various functions of an application accessible via a web browser sidebar interface. When a hover event is detected in association with an icon of the application, a quick-actions card is generated that includes quick actions of the application from which the user can select. For instance, a selection of a quick action triggers the web browser to execute an action that causes the application function to be performed. Thus, application functions are able to be surfaced and controlled via a single input device selection (e.g., a mouse click).

  • Publication number: 20240430179
    Abstract: An embodiment includes a method of real-time, endpoint-specific SLA compliance evaluation in a managed network. The method includes receiving SLA definition input that indicates an SLA definition of the managed network. Responsive to detection of a trigger event, the method includes initiating a scan of endpoints including retrieval of endpoint-level state data. The method includes identifying a portion of the retrieved state data relevant to the SLA definition. The method includes aggregating the portions of the retrieved state data. The method includes determining whether the managed network is SLA compliant at an endpoint-level of granularity based on the aggregated portions. Responsive to the managed network being noncompliant, the method includes identifying a subset of endpoints failing to meet the SLA definition and implementing a product modification process to address a metric of the SLA definition and change a product to bring the first endpoint into compliance.

  • Publication number: 20240401496
    Abstract: Some protocols herein implement a first separation between first and second hybrid biochar production runs as a selective and conditional response to a sensor-based event whereby the first hybrid biochar production run is protected from a risk pertaining to the second hybrid biochar production run. Some variants implement synergies featuring biochar pyrolysis in close proximity to calcination or that otherwise facilitate durable “green cement.” Some variants implement a production line that can switch between a first operating protocol calibrated to yield more power and a second operating protocol calibrated to reduce a biochar-blend-type inventory shortage. And in some variants steam from one or more heaters powers a first turbine and a first condenser downstream is positioned adjacent an oxygen-depleted vessel so that some of the thermal energy recaptured during condensation is applied to produce biochar.

  • Patent number: 12151039
    Abstract: A sanitation device includes a housing with a channel extending into the housing and a plurality of openings in the channel. A plurality of light emitting diodes emit light through the openings in the channel. A shield is coupled to the housing and a motion sensor emits and detect light through the shield when activated, such that the shield narrows a field of view of the motion sensor. The sanitation device is positioned near a common touch point with the motion sensor determining when an object is near, and has moved away from, the touch point. The plurality of light emitting diodes are activated to clean the touch point after the object moves away. The sanitation device may further include a status indicator light to provide information regarding the current state of operation of the sanitation device.

  • Patent number: 12149549
    Abstract: Devices and techniques are generally described for unused identity and access management rights detection. In various examples, a first skill-usage vector associated with a first profile may be determined. A first nearest neighbor algorithm and the first skill-usage vector may be used to determine a second skill-usage vector grouped together with the first skill-usage vector in a feature space, where the second skill-usage vector is associated with a second profile. A first rights vector associated with the first profile may be determined. The first rights vector associated with the first profile may be compared to a second rights vector associated with the second profile. At least one unused right associated with the first profile may be determined based at least in part on the comparing of the first rights vector to the second rights vector.

  • Publication number: 20240371059
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a collaborative workspace for an artificial reality (XR) environment. Some implementations can take advantage of the capabilities of XR systems when working on collaborative large documents, such as design sheets and spreadsheets. For example, when a user launches a link to a large design sheet in XR, the workspace can show both a large view of the entire collaborative design space, as well as a personal viewport into the area of the design space that the user is working on. The workspace can include a number of collaboration controls, such as being able to follow someone else's viewport, filtering of the large view to include only the area of the sheet where a user's team is working, replaying a user's edits or view while moving around the design sheet, etc.
