  • Patent number: 12001316
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a system is configured to replay and/or reconstruct execution events and system states in real time or substantially in real time starting from the point when execution of a target program has stopped to the point when the user desires to step through the target program's execution in order to debug the software. In an embodiment, a system is configured to efficiently collect trace data that is sufficient to reconstruct the state of a computer system at any point of time from the start of execution to the time execution was stopped. Efficient and effective debugging of the software can be performed using embodiments of the disclosed methods, systems, and devices.

  • Patent number: 12000671
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a foldable firearm that collapses into a folded state under spring pressure. The foldable firearm may include a foldable grip assembly. The foldable grip assembly may include a foldable pistol grip, a foldable trigger assembly, a folding bar, and a foldable hand stop. The foldable grip assembly may fold into the top shell of the foldable firearm. The foldable firearm may also include an ambidextrous charging handle assembly that may include a bottom portion, a top portion, a guide bar, and two opposing charging handles. The charging handles may be pulled to unfold the foldable firearm, and/or butterflied such that pivoting one charging handle causes the other charging handle to pivot. The first-pivoted charging handle may then be pulled rearwards to unfold the firearm. The first-pivoted charging handle may then be pulled further rearwards to rack the slide of the foldable firearm.

  • Patent number: 12003481
    Abstract: A first device may establish a connection with a second device, and may provide a connection check RPC message to the second device. The first device may receive a verification RPC message from the second device, and may provide, to the second device, a sync domains RPC request that includes a first list of active domains with associated address pools. The first device may receive, from the second device, a sync domains RPC response that includes threshold values for the active domains included in the first list of active domains, and may provide, to the second device, a sync pools RPC request that includes a first list of address pools associated with the active domains. The first device may receive, from the second device, a sync pools RPC response that includes confirmation of the first list of address pools, and may allocate addresses of an address pool to a CPE.

  • Patent number: 12002561
    Abstract: A peristaltic pump, and related system method are provided. The peristaltic pump includes a cam shaft, first and second pinch-valve cams, first and second pinch-valve cam followers, a plunger cam, a plunger-cam follower, a tube receiver, and a spring-biased plunger. The first and second pinch-valve cams are coupled to the cam shaft. The first and second pinch-valve cam followers each engage the first and second pinch-valve cams, respectively. The plunger cam is coupled to the cam shaft. The plunger-cam follower engages the plunger cam. The tube receiver is configured to receive a tube. The spring-biased plunger is coupled to the plunger-cam follower such that the expansion of the plunger cam along a radial angle intersecting the plunger-cam follower as the cam shaft rotates pushes the plunger cam follower towards the plunger and thereby disengages the spring-biased plunger from the tube. A spring coupled to the spring-biased plunger biases the spring-biased plunger to apply the crushing force to the tube.

  • Patent number: 12002036
    Abstract: Systems as described herein may enhance merchant databases using crowdsourced browser data. An electronic payment server may receive cache information associated with the first transaction from a browser extension. The electronic payment server may retrieve a transaction record for a second transaction in a transaction database, wherein the first transaction matches with the second transaction. The electronic payment server may update a merchant record in a private merchant database with a friendly merchant name based on the cache information. Upon determining that the merchant record in the private merchant database exceeds a threshold confidence level, the merchant record may be promoted to a trustworthy database, and the friendly merchant name may be presented to a user device.

  • Publication number: 20240172997
    Abstract: A portable tool for communicating with an ultra-wideband (UWB) equipped patient support apparatus and/or a UWB-equipped locator unit. The tool may include a housing, a transceiver for communicating with a computer, a first (UWB) transceiver adapted to communicate with a second UWB transceiver, and a controller. The controller may be adapted to use the first UWB transceiver to obtain an identifier from the second UWB transceiver, and to determine whether the second UWB transceiver is positioned onboard a patient support apparatus or onboard a locator unit based on its identifier. If the second UWB transceiver is positioned onboard the patient support apparatus, the tool may determine a specific location of the second UWB transceiver onboard the patient support apparatus. The tool may alternatively be embodied in a software application adapted to be executed on a smart phone and/or personal computer.

  • Publication number: 20240177643
    Abstract: The present invention includes systems and methods for a multi-primary color system for display. A multi-primary color system increases the number of primary colors available in a color system and color system equipment. Increasing the number of primary colors reduces metameric errors from viewer to viewer. One embodiment of the multi-primary color system includes Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Yellow, and Magenta primaries. The systems of the present invention maintain compatibility with existing color systems and equipment and provide systems for backwards compatibility with older color systems.

  • Publication number: 20240177241
    Abstract: Systems and methods relating to improving the experience of gig-economy workers are disclosed, with particular reference to gig-economy work involving vehicle use. During or after performance of gig-economy work, data automatically collected may be used to generate and present recommendations or education points to gig-economy workers. Such recommendations may include targeted alerts to notify gig-economy workers of high-demand situations or to coordinate between gig-economy workers and gig-economy customers. Alerts may be generated based upon current excess demand for gig-economy services, as well as gig-economy worker availability and preferences. For example, alerts may be generated in response to detecting emergency conditions in an area in order to mobilize a large number of gig-economy transportation service providers.
