  • Patent number: 12113164
    Abstract: Metal-ion battery cells are provided that take advantage of the disclosed “doping” process. The cells may be fabricated from anode and cathode electrodes, a separator, and an electrolyte. A metal-ion additive may be incorporated into (i) one or more of the electrodes, (ii) the separator, or (iii) the electrolyte. The metal-ion additive provides additional donor ions corresponding to the metal ions stored and released by anode and cathode active material particles. An activation potential may then be applied to the anode and cathode electrodes to release the additional donor ions into the battery cell.

  • Publication number: 20240316762
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for reacting to a feature in an environment of a robot based on a classification of the feature. A system can detect the feature in the environment using a first sensor on the robot. For example, the system can detect the feature using a feature detection system based on sensor data from a camera. The system can detect a mover in the environment using a second sensor on the robot. For example, the system can detect the mover using a mover detection system based on sensor data from a lidar sensor. The system can fuse the data from detecting the feature and detecting the mover to produce fused data. The system can classify the feature based on the fused data and react to the feature based on classifying the feature.

  • Publication number: 20240320721
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a unique (or quasi unique) identifier can be received by an application store, or other on-line store, and the store can create a signed receipt that includes data desired from the unique identifier. This signed receipt is then transmitted to a device that is running the application obtained from the on-line store and the device can verify the receipt by deriving the unique (or quasi-unique) identifier from the signed receipt and comparing the derived identifier with the device identifier stored on the device, or the vendor identifier assigned to the application vendor.

  • Patent number: 12099640
    Abstract: A system for real-time authenticated obfuscation of electronic data provides real-time visual obfuscation of the data by transforming displayed data into undecipherable data when viewed by an unauthorized user while maintaining access for an authorized user. The system may further provide application-level obfuscation of electronic data via cryptographic keys such that only authorized applications may decrypt the encrypted data. In this way, the system provides secure access control of electronic data within a networked environment.

  • Patent number: 12093259
    Abstract: The disclosed application relates to a tool by which a user may create a cloud workspace that includes a data memory space, as well as a tool for automatically identifying ad-hoc analyses on that data. The solution allows a user to connect to data sources using SQL or GUI tools, combine data from different data sources, prepare and clean the data, mine the data for insights, and move that data into downstream reporting tools for visualization. The system is linked to a code repository to allow data scientists to execute code from the code repository in trial data spaces, investigate that data, and prepare more in-depth analytics for downstream reporting tools.
