  • Patent number: 11943307
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to generating a modified web farm framework for routing web traffic based on similarities between web traffic requests. A computing platform may receive a request to establish a server connection to host a virtual workspace. The computing platform may identify a pod and a server within the pod with network capacity to host the virtual workspace. The computing platform may assign the virtual workspace to the pod and the server, and may generate a cookie indicating connection details associated with the virtual workspace. The computing platform may receive a consumer request to connect to the virtual workspace and may transmit the cookie to the consumer. The computing platform may monitor and analyze the server connection, and may modify the server assignment associated with the virtual workspace based on determining the server connection was lost and/or terminated.

  • Patent number: 11921824
    Abstract: Techniques are generally described for fusing sensor data of different modalities using a transformer. In various examples, first sensor data may be received from a first sensor and second sensor data may be received from a second sensor. A first feature representation of the first sensor data may be generated using a first machine learning model and a second feature representation of the second sensor data may be generated using a second machine learning model. In some examples, a modified first feature representation of the first sensor data may be generated based at least in part on a self-attention mechanism of a transformer encoder. The modified first feature representation may be generated based at least in part on the first feature representation and the second feature representation. A computer vision task may be performed using the modified first feature representation.

  • Patent number: 11824916
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to accessing and interacting with requested web content using a modified web farm framework. A computing platform may receive a consumer request to connect to a virtual workspace. The computing platform may parse the consumer request to identify a cookie that contains server connections details associated with the virtual workspace. The computing platform may transmit the cookie to the consumer and may receive, from the consumer, a request to connect to a pod and a server that host the virtual workspace. The computing platform may monitor a server connection between the consumer and the virtual workspace to determine whether the server connection was lost and/or terminated. Based on determining the server connection was lost and/or terminated, the computing platform may transmit a notification to the consumer indicating the same. The computing platform may receive, from the consumer, a request to initiate a server re-connection loop.

  • Patent number: 4083075
    Abstract: A device for removing litter from rugs, carpets, or floors comprises a housing having an elongated handle connected thereto and a tape cartridge disposed therein, the housing further comprising means for selectively advancing the tape in the cartridge to present a tacky surface for contacting and thus removing the litter.
