  • Patent number: 11923638
    Abstract: A circuit board assembly includes an electrical connector mounted to a circuit board having a connector housing holding contacts in a contact array. A connector mount having a bracket is coupled to the mounting surface of the circuit board proximate to the mating edge. The electrical connector is movably coupled to the connector mount to move relative to the circuit board during mating with the mating electrical connector. The connector mount has a biasing member compressible along a compression axis parallel to the mating direction to allow the electrical connector to float in the mating direction relative to the circuit board. The electrical connector is movably coupled to the connector mount in a confined envelope in at least one floating direction perpendicular to the mating direction.

  • Patent number: 11922383
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for verifying an identity of a user through contextual knowledge-based authentication. The system described uses contextual knowledge-based authentication. By verifying an identity of a user through contextual knowledge-based authentication, the verification is both more secure and more intuitive to the user. For example, by relying on confidential and/or proprietary information, the system may generate verification questions, the answers to which are known only by the user.

  • Patent number: 11922926
    Abstract: A system may include processor(s), and memory in communication with the processor(s) and storing instructions configured to cause the system to correct ASR errors. The system may receive a transcription comprising transcribed word(s) and may determine whether the transcribed word(s) exceed associated predefined confidence level(s). Responsive to determining a transcribed word does not exceed a predefined confidence level, the system may generate a predicted word. The system may calculate a distance between numerical representations of the transcribed word and the predicted word and may determine whether the distance exceeds a predefined threshold. Responsive to determining the distance exceeds the predefined threshold, the system may determine whether at least one red flag word of a list of red flag words corresponds to a context of the transcription, and, responsive to making that determination, may classify the transcription as associated with a first category.

  • Patent number: 11919196
    Abstract: A manufacturing system includes a tape advancing through the manufacturing system and a station of the manufacturing system. The tape includes a first portion having grains of an inorganic material bound by an organic binder. The station of the manufacturing system receives the first portion of the tape and prepares the tape for sintering by chemically changing the organic binder and/or removing the organic binder from the first portion of the tape, leaving the grains of the inorganic material, to form a second portion of the tape and, at least in part, prepare the tape for sintering.

  • Publication number: 20240069742
    Abstract: One aspect of the application can provide a system and method for replacing a failing node with a spare node in a non-uniform memory access (NUMA) system. During operation, in response to determining that a node-migration condition is met, the system can initialize a node controller of the spare node such that accesses to a memory local to the spare node are to be processed by the node controller, quiesce the failing node and the spare node to allow state information of processors on the failing node to be migrated to processors on the spare node, and subsequent to unquiescing the failing node and the spare node, migrate data from the failing node to the spare node while maintaining cache coherence in the NUMA system and while the NUMA system remains in operation, thereby facilitating continuous execution of processes previously executed on the failing node.

  • Publication number: 20240071576
    Abstract: Approaches, techniques, and mechanisms are disclosed for predicting molecular electronic structural information. According to one embodiment, quantum simulation results are generated for a molecule based on a quantum simulation of an electronic structure of the molecule. The quantum simulation of the electronic structure of the molecule is performed with quantum processing units. An input vector comprising data field values derived from the quantum simulation results for the molecule is created. An electronic structural information prediction model is applied to generate, based at least in part on the input vector, predicted electronic structural information for the molecule.

  • Publication number: 20240070487
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating and processing modeling workflows are disclosed. In some examples, a reference distribution of scores generated by a model is determined. The reference distribution of scores is recorded in a structured database. One or more unexpected scores are detected during execution of the model. To detect the one or more unexpected scores, a production distribution of scores is compared with the reference distribution of scores recorded in the structured database. The production distribution of scores is generated by the model for a production input data set. An alert is then provided to an external system, when an alert condition is determined to be satisfied based on the comparison. The alert indicates detection of the one or more unexpected scores.

  • Publication number: 20240073214
    Abstract: In some embodiments, validation of network operations related to use of a token via a token request based on entity characteristics may be facilitated. In some embodiments, a token request indicating use of a token to access an item associated with an entity may be detected, where the token is bound to one or more entity characteristics. Based on the token request, an entity identifier associated with the entity may be obtained. Using the entity identifier, one or more item characteristics of items available via the entity may be determined. Determining whether the entity satisfies the one or more entity characteristic to which the token is bound may be determined based on the one or more item characteristics. Access to the item associated with the entity may be validated based on the determination indicating that the entity satisfies the one or more entity characteristics to which the token is bound.

  • Patent number: 11915313
    Abstract: In some implementations, a credit decision platform may receive a credit request from an applicant and obtain domestic historical data associated with the applicant from a credit bureau device. The credit decision platform may obtain access to an email account associated with the applicant based on determining that the domestic historical data associated with the applicant is insufficient to process the credit request. The credit decision platform may identify, using one or more machine learning models, a set of email messages included in the email account that are relevant to the credit request and may analyze content included in the set of email messages to generate non-domestic historical data associated with the applicant. The credit decision platform may generate a decision on the credit request based on an estimated creditworthiness of the applicant, which may be determined based on the non-domestic historical data.
