  • Publication number: 20240203062
    Abstract: A system for facilitating geometry-aware spatial interpolation is configured to access a data structure comprising a set of sample points (each sample point being associated with respective coordinates relative to a virtual environment) and determine a respective safety distance for association with at least some sample points of the set of sample points. Each respective safety distance represents a distance from its associated sample point to a nearest virtual object of the virtual environment. Each respective safety distance indicates a respective safety region for its associated sample point. Each respective safety region indicates a region within which its associated sample point is usable for generating interpolated data. The system is further configured to store each respective safety distance within the data structure in association with its associated sample point of the set of sample points.

  • Patent number: 11993547
    Abstract: An electrical termination unit or feedthrough which may be used for routing electrical conductors through a chamber wall, or otherwise across a barrier between isolated atmospheric conditions. The electrical termination unit may have aluminum as the interface material to the chamber interface and may utilize a ceramic insulator. The electrical termination unit may have the aluminum used as the interface brazed directly to a ceramic surface of the insulator. The aluminum that forms the chamber interface may be formed within a hollow ceramic tube in the same process step that brazes the aluminum to the ceramic tube with a hermetic joint. Machining subsequent to the brazing of the aluminum to the ceramic insulator may allow for achievement of the final form desired. A method for manufacturing such an electrical termination unit.

  • Publication number: 20240154516
    Abstract: A soft-switching Phase-Shift Full-Bridge (PSFB) converter system may include a transformer comprising a primary side and a secondary side. Phase-leading circuitry and phase-lagging circuitry may be located on the primary side of the transformer. The phase leading a phase lagging circuitry may include one or more bridge switches. The system may further include clamping circuitry coupled to the secondary side of the transformer. The clamping circuitry configurable to, when in an active clamping mode, short the secondary side of the transformer. An inductance may be included on the primary side of the transformer to collect and store energy from an input source when the secondary side of the transformer is shorted. The energy stored in the inductance may be used to enable soft-switching of the bridge switches in the phase-lagging circuitry during a dead time or a circulating time of the bridge switches in the phase-leading circuitry.

  • Patent number: 11972281
    Abstract: A first intermediate representation of a first portion of a source code implementing an application and a second intermediate representation of a second portion of the source code is received by a processing device. The first intermediate representation and the second intermediate representation is merged, at run-time, into a merged intermediate representation, wherein the first intermediate representation includes a reference to a function in the second intermediate representation. An execution flow transfer instruction within the merged intermediate representation is identified based on a run-time value of a parameter of the application. The execution flow transfer instruction references the function. A set of executable instructions implementing the function is identified within the merged intermediate representation. The execution flow transfer instruction is replaced with a copy of the set of executable instructions implementing the function.

  • Publication number: 20240127936
    Abstract: A computer implemented method for generating personalized responsive assistance for a person needing assistance (PNA) is disclosed. The method begins with the system receiving a PNA's contact data and a trust group manager's (TGM) contact data. The system then sends a request to the TGM for association of TGM's device with PNA's device. The system then receives approval and proceeds with storing an indicator of the association of the devices. The TGM then sends the system a person providing assistance's (PPA) data. The system will then send an invite to the PPA, to join a trust group associated with the PNA. After the PPA accepts the invite to join the PPA group, the system will receive a request for an audio/visual connection between the PNA and the PPA. As the PNA is in need of assistance, an audio/visual connection will be permitted allowing the PPA to help the PNA.

  • Patent number: 11960832
    Abstract: Machine learning, artificial intelligence, and other computer-implemented methods are used to identify various semantically important chunks in documents, automatically label them with appropriate datatypes and semantic roles, and use this enhanced information to assist authors and to support downstream processes. Chunk locations, datatypes, and semantic roles can often be automatically determined from what is here called “context”, to wit, the combination of their formatting, structure, and content; those of adjacent or nearby content; overall patterns of occurrence in a document, and similarities of all these things across documents (mainly but not exclusively among documents in the same document set).
