  • Patent number: 11972473
    Abstract: Disclosed is a web 3.0 orchestration system that creates a token economy through which customers are able to establish relationships and purchase physical and digital goods and services from any merchant at any place without having to access the physical or digital storefront of the merchant. The orchestration system may receive a triggering event from a user device, may compile user data from user profiles that are associated with the user device, and may select a distributed set of smart contracts defined by different merchants based on the triggering event. The orchestration system may execute the distributed set of smart contracts using the user data as inputs, may select offerings from a set of merchants based on the output generated from executing the smart contracts, and may present the offerings to the user device as part of facilitating a transaction between the user device and any of the merchants.

  • Patent number: 11966989
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a method comprises: obtaining input data including a plurality of parameters related to an energy system design; reducing the input data to a subset of the input data; in a first stage: feeding the subset of input data into a reduced version of a model for estimating an energy system configuration; estimating, using the reduced version of the model, a first energy system configuration and a lower bound solution for the first energy system configuration based on the subset of input data; and in a second stage following the first stage: feeding the input data and the lower bound solution into a full version of the model; and estimating, using the full version of the model, a second energy system configuration based on the input data and the lower bound solution.

  • Patent number: 11960426
    Abstract: Concurrent servicing of a first cable of a cable pair while a second cable of the cable pair remains operational improves multi-processor computer system availability and serviceability. A pair of processing chips in different processing drawers may continue operation by way of the second cable while the first cable is degraded or serviced. Upon the servicing of the first cable, the serviced cable may transition to a fully operational state with no interruptions to the operations between the processing drawers by way of the second cable. Since cable faults are typically more common than processing chip or processing drawer faults, identification of cable faults and the ability to maintain operations of the processing drawers connected therewith is increasingly important.

  • Publication number: 20240111746
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to the distribution of database key permissions. A database system may distribute first permission information to a plurality of database nodes that identifies a distribution of key range permissions to ones of the plurality of database nodes. A given key range permission being distributed to a given database node may permit that database node to write records whose keys fall within a key range associated with the given key range permission. The database system may receive, from a first database node, a request for a first key range permission provisioned to a second database node. The database system may modify the first permission information to derive second permission information that provisions the first key range permission to the first database node instead of the second database node. The database system may distribute the second permission information to ones of the plurality of database nodes.

  • Publication number: 20240103967
    Abstract: A memory controller stores each of a plurality of data blocks encoded by error correction code (ECC) across multiple channels of a redundant memory system. Based on receiving, from the memory system, channel data of a fetch operation requesting a data block, the memory controller decodes the channel data and concurrently generates a predicted channel mark based on tests of channel-induced syndromes generated from the channel data. The predicted channel mark identifies a marked channel among the multiple channels as a likely source of data errors. The memory controller determines whether the decoding detects an uncorrectable error in the channel data and, based on determining the decoding detects an uncorrectable error in the channel data, re-reads channel data corresponding to the data block and corrects the re-read channel data by excluding, from decoding, channel data received from the marked channel.

  • Publication number: 20240099640
    Abstract: A system for interpreting electrocardiograms receives a first electrocardiogram waveform, and identifies a feature in the first electrocardiogram waveform. The system retrieves one or more second electrocardiogram waveforms recorded at a point in time prior to the first electrocardiogram waveform. The system extracts the feature from the one or more second electrocardiogram waveforms, and generates one or more interpretive statements based on a comparison of the feature identified in the first electrocardiogram and the feature extracted from the one or more second electrocardiogram waveforms.
