  • Patent number: 12293147
    Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, a method is performed at a device with one or more processors, non-transitory memory, and a touch-sensitive display. The method includes displaying, on the touch-sensitive display, a text region that includes a first portion of text and a second portion of text. The method includes detecting, on the touch-sensitive display, an input within the text region. The method includes, in response to detecting the input within the text region, moving the first portion of text relative to the second portion of text to display a non-text region between the first portion of text and the second portion of text that does not include any text and converting at least a portion of the non-text region into a drawing panel provided to receive drawing input via the touch-sensitive display and display a corresponding graphic in response to receiving the drawing input.

  • Patent number: 12285499
    Abstract: Provided is a tissue staining composition containing carbon particles having a mean particle diameter less than 0.3 ?m in diameter (optionally less than 0.2 ?m in diameter) together with one or more agents that maintain the carbon particles in suspension (for example, an anti-settling agent and/or surfactant). In certain circumstances, the anti-settling agent may also have mucoadhesive properties. The tissue staining composition is visually dark and does not disperse rapidly when introduced into regions of tissue of interest making it ideal for marking the regions that can be visualized clearly and over prolonged periods of time via, for example, direct visualization, endoscopic or laparoscopic inspection. The invention also provides methods of making and using the tissue staining composition for marking regions of tissue of interest, for example, gastrointestinal tissue, as well as other tissues.

  • Patent number: 12282443
    Abstract: One embodiment is directed to a system comprising a portable device executing a mobile application; and a rack controller without a display unit, the rack controller comprising a base unit. The base unit includes a processor configured to execute software that directs the processor to interact with the mobile application to show information and receive user input associated with the rack controller and at least one of rack and patching equipment installed in one or more racks even if there is not a display unit coupled to the base unit. In additional embodiments, a rack controller is configured to determine whether each rack controller interface is connected to another rack controller as a function of a respective sense signal developed by the termination circuit associated with said rack controller interface. Other embodiments are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20250089599
    Abstract: A method includes monitoring, by sensors, a drive path of a farming machine in an agricultural field, where the drive path includes multiple tracks each including a planting row, and detecting, based on data from the sensors, an end of drive path planting pattern, which includes multiple plants in at least a first one of the multiple tracks as a track extension, but no plants in at least a second one of the tracks. The method also includes, based on the detected end of drive path planting pattern, determining, by a computing device, location data of an edge of a previous drive path and generating alignment guidance data for the farming machine based on a current location of the farming machine and the location data of the edge of the previous drive path. The method further includes outputting, at the farming machine, the alignment guidance data.

  • Publication number: 20250053522
    Abstract: A memory expansion device operable with a host computer system (host) comprises a non-volatile memory (NVM) subsystem, cache memory, and control logic configurable to receive a submission from the host including a read command and specifying a payload in the NVM subsystem and demand data in the payload. The control logic is configured to request ownership of a set of cache lines corresponding to the payload, to indicate completion of the submission after acquiring ownership of the cache lines, and to load the payload to the cache memory. The set of cache lines correspond to a set of cache lines in a coherent destination memory space accessible by the host. The control logic is further configured to, after indicating completion of the submission and in response to a request from the host to read demand data in the payload, return the demand data after determining that the demand data is in the cache memory.

  • Patent number: 12215935
    Abstract: A thermal management system and a method of operating thereof includes a housing body having a first broad surface and an opposing second broad surface and may extend between a first end and a second end. The housing body defines plural passages disposed between the first and second broad surfaces. The plural passages extend in one or more orthogonal directions between the first and second ends of the body. An inlet conduit is fluidly coupled with a first passage of the plural passages via an inlet structure that defines an inlet of the housing body, and directs a fluid into the first passage of the plural passages. An outlet conduit is fluidly coupled with a second passage of the plural passages via an outlet structure that defines an outlet of the housing body, and directs the fluid out of the second passage of the plural passages.

  • Patent number: 12207585
    Abstract: A method begins by agriculture equipment collecting current on-site gathered agriculture data regarding an agriculture region and sending at least a representation of the current on-site gathered agriculture data to a host device. The method continues with the host device processing one or more of the at least a representation of the current on-site gathered agriculture data, current off-site gathered agriculture data, historical on-site gathered agriculture data, historical off-site gathered agriculture data, and historical analysis of agriculture predictions regarding the agriculture region to produce a current agriculture prediction for the agriculture region. The method continues with the host device generating an agriculture prescription regarding at least a portion of the agriculture region based on the current agriculture prediction and sending the agriculture prescription to one or more of the agriculture equipment.

  • Publication number: 20250021778
    Abstract: An electronic device displays a media capture user interface that includes a media capture preview of objects in a field of view of the camera. While displaying the media capture user interface, the electronic device scans the field of view of the camera for data encoded in an optical machine-readable format. In accordance with a determination that the field of view of the camera includes data encoded in the optical machine-readable format that meets respective notification criteria, the electronic device displays a notification that indicates that the camera application has detected data encoded in the optical machine-readable format. In accordance with a determination that the field of view of the camera does not include data encoded in the optical machine-readable format that meets the respective notification criteria, the electronic device maintains display of the media capture user interface of the camera application without displaying the notification.

  • Patent number: 12194369
    Abstract: A skateboard truck with a swinging arm having an adjustable plane of rotation is described. The truck has a base plate rotatably coupled with a pivoting plate via a pivot assembly. The pivot assembly comprises (i) a bolt about which the swinging arm of the pivoting plate rotates, (ii) an optional centering or biasing member that biases the pivoting plate from an off-center position to a center position, and (iii) a tapered spacer removably disposed between the base plate and pivoting plate. The tapered spacer couples with the pivoting plate in at least two different radial positions to create different angles between the skateboard and swinging arm for different riding styles and user preferences.
