  • Patent number: 12324729
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a wound treatment apparatus with electronic components integrated within a wound dressing. In some embodiments, a wound dressing apparatus can comprise a wound contact layer, an absorbent layer over the wound contact layer, the absorbent layer comprising one or more apertures, a cover layer configured to cover and form a seal over the wound contact layer and the absorbent layer, and an electronics assembly comprising a negative pressure source. A portion of the cover layer overlying the one or more apertures in the absorbent layer can be configured to be compressed within the aperture in the absorbent layer when negative pressure is applied to the wound dressing apparatus. The compressed cover layer can indicate a level of negative pressure below the cover layer. In some embodiments, the wound dressing apparatus can comprise an indicator material layer and a cover layer configured to cover and form a seal over the wound contact layer and the indicator material layer.

  • Patent number: 12277124
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for query processing with restrictions in a database clean room. In an embodiment, a system receives a query directed to a combination of a first source dataset from a first database account of a distributed database and a second source dataset from a second database account of the distributed database. The system generates an approved statements table that contains database statement language that can be executed against the combination of the first and second source datasets. Based on determining that the approved statements table includes the query, the system executes the query to produce results data, and stores the results data in the first database account.

  • Publication number: 20250001152
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments relate to a wound dressing which can generate nitric oxide. The wound dressing may include a cover layer, an activator layer such as an acid providing layer and nitric oxide source layer, such as a nitrite providing layer. The activator layer may include acidic groups and may be hydrogel, xerogel, or other suitable material. The nitric oxide source layer may include a nitrite salt. Nitrite ions of the nitric oxide source layer may react with the acidic groups of the activating layer to generate nitric oxide. The wound dressing may further include a composite layer, such as a layer with an acquisition distribution layer embedded within an activator gel layer. Additional composite layers may include various absorbent materials embedded within an activator gel layer.

  • Publication number: 20240362231
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure may provide a data clean room architecture that dynamically restricts data included in the clean room. The data clean room architecture can implement row access policy or dynamic data masking for row and column based restrictions of data provided through the clean room. The data clean room architecture can provide a limited set of data that does not require obfuscation of data for direction matching and correlation of data in the different datasets, such as matching user identifiers or emails.

  • Publication number: 20240303366
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure may provide a data clean room allowing encryption based data analysis across multiple accounts of different database users. The data clean room may also restrict which data may be used in the analysis and may restrict the output. A requesting user's data can be encrypted using a key and a provider user can generate a shareable database function that accepts the key to decrypt the data to generate the results data without exposing each others' data.

  • Patent number: 12001581
    Abstract: A first database account shares, with a second database account, a secure function configured to accept an encrypted dataset and a decryption parameter. The first database account includes a first dataset. The second database account includes a second dataset. The second database account selects one or more rows and one or more columns of the second dataset as a searchable dataset, generates an encrypted searchable dataset by encrypting the searchable dataset with a key, and calls the secure function with the encrypted searchable dataset and the key. The secure function generates results of a query by: generating a decrypted searchable dataset by decrypting the encrypted searchable dataset with the key in a secure environment, obtaining the results by executing the query against a combination of the first dataset and the decrypted dataset in the secure environment to generated query-results data, and outputting the results to the second database account.

  • Patent number: 11989173
    Abstract: A method includes generating a defined access clean room in a provider database account, as well as installing, in a consumer account, an application instance that implements the defined access clean room. The method also includes sharing, by the provider database account, source provider data with the defined access clean room, where the sharing makes the source provider data accessible to the consumer database account via the application instance. The method further includes sharing, by the provider database account, a query template with the consumer database account via the application instance. Additionally, the method includes receiving a query generated by the consumer database account based on the query template, validating that the query is consistent with the query template, responsively generating query results by executing the query, as well as storing the query results in the consumer database account.
