Patent number: 12145385Abstract: A means and method to enhance the security of personalized and variable print-on-demand data on vital records or documents, such as checks, by inkjet printing. A specially formulated penetrating ink prints information on the front side to create an indelibly seamless “dual image” on the reverse side. The reverse image symbiotically complements the primary image on the print side to provide ease of authentication and tamper resistance. Specially formulated MICR ink is used to print information on the front side. Specially formulated penetrating may be different color. Either invisible ultraviolet fluorescent penetrating ink or visible penetrating ink may be used to create the image on the reverse side. The print side and reverse side are printed using single-pen printing by orienting inkjet two different pens in a series.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2020Date of Patent: November 19, 2024Assignee: Troy Group, Inc.Inventors: Brian Lewis, Xiaorong Cai, Michael R.

Patent number: 12141556Abstract: The present disclosure provides to transparent and controllable human-AI interaction via chaining of machine-learned language models. In particular, although existing language models (e.g., so-called “large language models” (LLMs)) have demonstrated impressive potential on simple tasks, their breadth of scope, lack of transparency, and insufficient controllability can make them less effective when assisting humans on more complex tasks. In response, the present disclosure introduces the concept of chaining instantiations of machine-learned language models (e.g., LLMs) together, where the output of one instantiation becomes the input for the next, and so on, thus aggregating the gains per step.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2022Date of Patent: November 12, 2024Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Carrie Cai, Tongshuang Wu, Michael Andrew Terry

Patent number: 12128414Abstract: An automated method for performing an assay of the present disclosure can be performed in a microfluidic device that is a lateral flow device having numerous features to ensure correct operation of the device under gravity, such as vent pockets for enabling the flow of sample fluid from one chamber to the next when the vent pocket is unsealed. Each chamber can have a reagent recess proximal to an inlet end of the chamber. A reagent pellet formed in a reagent recess can be effectively mixed with a sample as the sample flows into the chamber. A flexible circuit with patterned metallic electrical components disposed on a heat stable material can be in direct contact with fluid in the chambers and has resistive heating elements aligned with, for example, a chamber for performing an amplification reaction.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2022Date of Patent: October 29, 2024Assignee: MESA BIOTECH LLCInventors: Mark Nowakowski, Michael Wang, Robert B Cary, Hong Cai, Conrad Lindberg, Martin Bouliane, Donald J Thomas

Patent number: 12067403Abstract: An information handling system includes a memory, and a basic input/output system (BIOS). The BIOS receives a request to map multiple processor cores to multiple integrated memory controllers of a multiple core processor. In response to the reception of the request, the BIOS calculates a different latency for each of the processor cores. Based on the calculated different latency for each of the processor cores, the BIOS assigns mapping priority levels to the processor cores of the multiple core processor. Based on the mapping priority levels, the BIOS maps each of the processor cores to an associated one of the integrated memory controllers. The BIOS stores the map of the processor cores in the memory.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2022Date of Patent: August 20, 2024Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Michael Christensen, Yuwei Cai

Patent number: 9333469Abstract: In one embodiment, a stirring system has a stirring assembly, a threaded leadscrew, and a multi-motion assembly adapted to travel along the leadscrew and accompanying parallel guide rods. The multi-motion assembly (i) has a timing pulley for powering the stirring assembly via a timing belt and (ii) converts the rotation of the leadscrew into either travel along the leadscrew in an engaged state or rotation of the timing pulley in a disengaged state. The multi-motion assembly includes (i) a screw-nut having an inside thread matching the leadscrew's thread and (ii) a clutch sub-assembly. The clutch sub-assembly (i) prevents the screw nut from rotating with the leadscrew in the engaged state, such that leadscrew rotation causes linear movement of the multi-motion assembly and (ii) allows the screw nut to rotate with the leadscrew in the disengaged state, such that leadscrew rotation causes corresponding rotation of the screw nut and timing pulley.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2011Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: Distek, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Brinker, Michael Cai, William G.
