  • Publication number: 20250053687
    Abstract: Systems and methods for the generation and usage of an identifier determiner model is provided. The identifier determiner model is generated in a sequestered computing node by receiving an untrained foundational model and a data set. The data set is bifurcated into a raw set and a de-identified set. The untrained foundational model is then tuned using the de-identified set to generate a sanitized model and the raw set to generate a raw model. Queries are presented to the raw model and the sanitized model to generate outputs. The identifier determiner machine learning model is generated by using the outputs to classify information as either sensitive or non-sensitive. The system may then receive a new foundational model. The identifier determiner machine learning model may be applied to outputs of this new foundational model to filter out sensitive information, either through redaction, or preventing them from being asked.

  • Publication number: 20250048595
    Abstract: Cooling module includes a mounting element, a force application member, a lever, and a cold plate movably coupled to the mounting element. The mounting element having engagement members, is coupled to a receptacle of an electronic device that is configured to receive a removable electronic device at the receptacle. The force application member having spring fingers, is disposed between the mounting element and the cold plate, and movable relative to the mounting element. The lever is connected to the mounting element and the force application member and shiftable between actuated and unactuated states. In the actuated state, the lever pushes the force application member along a first direction causing the engagement members to move the force application member along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and urge the cold plate to compress the spring fingers and establish thermal contact between the cold plate and the removable electronic module.

  • Publication number: 20250039116
    Abstract: A contact record enrichment system receives contact records generated by a contact center platform in association with individual contacts handled by a contact center. If multiple contacts are part of a contact chain associated with the same customer journey, such as a customer journey that involves one or more transfers between different contacts, the contact record enrichment system enriches corresponding contact records with transfer data about the entire customer journey. The transfer data added to an individual contact record for an individual contact in the customer journey causes the contact record to indicate information about the entire customer journey, in addition to information about the individual contact.

  • Publication number: 20250023636
    Abstract: According to examples, a test instrument may determine equalization setting values for electrical signals communicated with optical modules. Particularly, the test instrument may automatically determine the equalization setting values that may result in an optimal signal quality metric of electrical signals communicated with an optical module. The test instrument may generate test signals having a plurality of equalization setting value permutations applied to the test signals and may determine respective signal quality metrics of the test signals returned from the optical module. In other examples, the optical module may generate the test signals and the optical module or the test instrument may determine the respective signal quality metrics of the test signals. In either of these examples, the values of the equalization settings may be set to be applied on electrical signals communicated with the optical module to improve a quality of the electrical signal communications with the optical module.

  • Publication number: 20250013253
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to a pressure regulator assembly for a closed fluid loop of a CDU. The pressure regulator assembly has a cylinder having an internal volume, and first and second hollow pistons slidably connected to the cylinder to split the internal volume into a first volume portion having cooling fluid, a second volume portion having driver fluid, and a third volume portion having compressible matter. The first volume portion is fluidically connected to the closed fluid loop. The first hollow piston is reciprocated by the compressible matter to maintain operating pressure of the cooling fluid in the closed fluid loop. The second hollow piston is driven by the driver fluid in response to predefined pressure drop of the cooling fluid during predefined time period, to inject additional cooling fluid from the first volume portion into the closed fluid loop to restore pressure level of cooling fluid to operating pressure.

  • Publication number: 20250016137
    Abstract: Distributed firewalls reside at different points across a network. Each distributed firewall can include one or more rules that govern traffic over and/or access to the network. The rules can be discovered, converted into a standardized format, and indexed at a centralized rule database. The rules or data of the rules can be verified. The rules can be certified at the centralized database. The certification process can be based on a direction of traffic to which the rule governs. The certification process may have different levels based on the direction of traffic.

  • Patent number: 12189972
    Abstract: Systems and methods for multiple device consumption of shared namespaces of ephemeral storage devices by a consumer of a virtual storage system are provided. In an example, multiple namespaces of respective ephemeral storage devices are shared among multiple of consumers of a virtual storage system by creating multiple partitions within each of the namespaces for use by respective consumers of the multiple consumers. Corresponding partitions of respective shared namespace may then be treated as a stripe set to facilitate multiple device consumption for a subsystem (e.g., operation log journaling) of the virtual storage system by striping data associated with input/output (I/O) requests of a consumer (e.g., a journaling driver) across one or more stripe units of one or more stripes within the stripe set.

  • Patent number: 12180617
    Abstract: Thermally stable absorbable fiber populations, i.e. fiber populations that do not undergo thermally induced crystallization, can be intermixed with thermally unstable fibers to yield a stabilizing effect without altering morphological properties of a fiber system. Via this, one may minimize thermally induced shrinkage and maintain physical properties of electrospun materials in the as-formed state.

  • Patent number: 12180805
    Abstract: A downhole tool includes a housing configured to be connected between two tubular members. The housing includes a chamber and a plug assembly is disposed in the chamber and divides the chamber into an up-hole portion and a downhole portion. The plug assembly includes a glass member having a predetermined residual surface compression, at least a first face, and at least one strength-reducing surface feature on the first face. The strength-reducing surface feature is configured to cause the glass member to disintegrate when the glass member is exposed to a pressure in the up-hole portion of a magnitude that creates a tensile stress on the first face that exceeds the predetermined residual surface compression.

  • Patent number: 12184694
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device obtains one or more packets of a traffic session in a network. The device determines, for a particular packet of the one or more packets that match a filter, a fingerprint for the particular packet. The device identifies a plurality of traffic sessions whose packets match the fingerprint, wherein each of the plurality of traffic sessions is associated with at least one process. The device updates a process with the traffic session by applying a classifier to the plurality of traffic sessions.
