  • Publication number: 20250071174
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to systems/methods for data message matching in a peer-to-peer exchange system. Within the peer-to-peer exchange system, a dedicated processing instance attempts to match incoming data messages to resting message previously converted to the market data by other dedicated processing instances within the peer-to-peer exchange system. The market data stored within compartmentalized data structures on the dedicated processing instances. After establishing a preliminary match at the dedicated processing instance, the dedicated processing instance forwards the preliminary match to a global processing instance to attempt a confirmatory match.

  • Patent number: 12237707
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and devices for controlling charging of vehicles, to avoid charging during charge-adverse time periods or during charge restriction events. This can advantageously reduce cost to vehicles owners, and or provide access to reward incentives. Further, power distribution entities (utility providers) advantageously have increased control over power distribution to avoid over-burdening of power distribution infrastructure. Further, systems and methods for determining or inferring whether a vehicle is connected to a charge station are described, which can be used to inform automatic restriction of vehicle charging.

  • Publication number: 20250045662
    Abstract: Computerized methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, for guided workflow processing include a server computing device which determines a guided workflow transaction path based upon input received from a first client device. The server initiates a transaction based upon the transaction path, including capturing data elements associated with a user of a second client device. The server stores the captured data elements, including a transaction identification token and a state of the transaction path. The server receives a request to continue the transaction from the second client device and retrieves the data elements. The server generates a user interface form based upon the state of the transaction path and displays the user interface form on the second client device. The server processes the transaction based upon input received from the second client device via the user interface form.

  • Patent number: 12217383
    Abstract: Techniques for aligning image content are disclosed. The alignment occurs by concurrently identifying corner and line features and by aligning the images based on those features. As a result, relaxed constraints can be used during the alignment process as compared to constraints that are required when aligning images using only corner features. To achieve these benefits, first and second images are acquired. A first set of pixels that correspond to corner features are detected within the images. In parallel, a second set of pixels that correspond to line features are detected within the images. Image content is then aligned from the two images. The aligning process is performed using at least some of the pixels from the first and second sets.

  • Patent number: 12212865
    Abstract: A system for obtaining color imagery using SPADs includes a SPAD array that has a plurality of SPAD pixels. Each of the plurality of SPAD pixels includes a respective color filter positioned thereover. The system is configurable to capture an image frame using the SPAD array and generate a filtered image by performing a temporal filtering operation using the image frame and at least one preceding image frame. The at least one preceding image frame is captured by the SPAD array at a timepoint that temporally precedes a timepoint associated with the image frame. The system is also configurable to, after performing the temporal filtering operation, generate a color image by demosaicing the filtered image.

  • Patent number: 12209768
    Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for evaporative cooling control. In one implementation, a humidity setpoint is received for a designated space, and at least one atmospheric condition of ambient air is received. The at least one atmospheric condition is measured using one or more ambient air sensors. A performance prediction of an evaporative cooler is generated by calculating a set of one or more predicted psychrometric properties of supply air leaving the evaporative cooler based on the at least one atmospheric condition. The humidity setpoint is compared to the set of one or more predicted psychrometric properties of the performance prediction in a setpoint comparison. A flow of fluid is controlled over evaporative media using one or more pumps of the evaporative cooler. The flow of the fluid is controlled based on the setpoint comparison such that the humidity setpoint is prevented from being exceeded.
