  • Publication number: 20250099637
    Abstract: An antimicrobial device, such as a flashlight, lantern, or lamp, is discussed herein. The antimicrobial device produces light in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum (i.e., 150-250 nm), including 200-230 nm. The antimicrobial device includes an electron source, an extractor, and a target material. The electron source provides the electrons of sufficient energy to cause a photon to be released, whether by a target or by the electron itself. The extractor extracts the electrons from the electron source. The target material is a component at which the electron is directed. The target material can release a photon having a desired wavelength or within a desired wavelength range or cause the electron to release a photon having a desired wavelength or within a desired wavelength range.

  • Patent number: 12259904
    Abstract: A system for electronically automating reduction component selection, conversion, disaggregation, and assignment is provided. The system generates graphical user interfaces that accept data relating to a reduction component to be analyzed and assigned to a qualified facility. The system identifies a segment associated with each reduction component and identifies all reduction components within a segment. A reduction concentration is determined in near real time for each segment by totaling the concentrations for each reduction component within a segment. The reduction concentration is compared to an Available Reduction Threshold to determine if facility capacity has been exceeded for new reduction components and for previously assigned reduction components.

  • Publication number: 20250095066
    Abstract: Certain embodiments reduce the risks of traditionally programmed algorithms such as syntax errors, unclear logic, and the need for a non-trader programmer to develop the algorithm as specified by a trader by reducing or eliminating the writing of programming code by a user. Certain embodiments provide a design canvas area and blocks for designing an algorithm. Certain embodiments provide for grouping blocks placed in the design canvas area. Certain embodiments provide for virtualized group blocks enabling dynamic instantiation of portions of an algorithm to handle particular discrete events. Certain embodiments provide for operation of some or all portions of an algorithm when a connection between a client device and an algorithm server is broken.

  • Patent number: 12256287
    Abstract: A flexible workspace system with real-time sensor feedback comprises workstations, presence sensors, workstation transmitters, a mobile device, and an upstream device. The workstations are established within a predetermined area, and each workstation includes a substantially horizontal surface having an upper side and a lower side. A presence sensor is positioned at the lower side of each workstation and detects a potential occupancy proximate an underside area below the lower side. A workstation transmitter is positioned at each workstation and coupled to the presence sensor and transmits an occupancy signal based on the potential occupancy detected by the presence sensor. The mobile device is situated within the predetermined area and detects the occupancy signal transmitted by the workstation transmitter and transmits a check-in signal based on the occupancy signal.

  • Publication number: 20250086698
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described herein for associating past auction bidding activity with subsequent financial transactions. A computing device may receive, from a web browser plugin of a web browser application executing on a user computing device, bid information relating to bids placed by a user on an auction website. Such information may be collected by, for example, scraping the Document Object Model of the website. After the auction ends, the computing device may determine a plurality of different candidate financial transactions for the user. Based on an estimated payment amount, the computing device may select, from the plurality of different candidate financial transactions, a matching financial transaction, then output an association between a bid and the matching financial transaction.
