  • Patent number: 12225949
    Abstract: Bras for high impact, high support activities are provided. A bra comprises a band that wraps around a torso. The band includes first and second cup regions, and a channel that runs below the collective cup regions. A gore is formed above the channel and between the respective cup regions, adjoining the respective cup regions. A molded cradle is fitted into the channel. For each cup region, a tessellated encapsulating bra cup is fitted therein. Each tessellated encapsulating bra cup includes a plurality of tiles. Respective tiles in the plurality of tiles that are further away from the cradle are larger in size than respective tiles in the plurality of tiles that are closer to the cradle. Each tessellated encapsulating bra cup has a generally concave first inner face and a generally convex first outer face. The tessellated encapsulating bra cups collectively contribute cantilevered support to the bra.

  • Patent number: 12231353
    Abstract: A fabric control protocol is described for use within a data center in which a switch fabric provides full mesh interconnectivity such that any of the servers may communicate packet data for a given packet flow to any other of the servers using any of a number of parallel data paths within the data center switch fabric. The fabric control protocol enables spraying of individual packets for a given packet flow across some or all of the multiple parallel data paths in the data center switch fabric and, optionally, reordering of the packets for delivery to the destination. The fabric control protocol may provide end-to-end bandwidth scaling and flow fairness within a single tunnel based on endpoint-controlled requests and grants for flows. In some examples, the fabric control protocol packet structure is carried over an underlying protocol, such as the User Datagram Protocol (UDP).

  • Publication number: 20250036811
    Abstract: Data is received that specifies a bound for an adversarial posterior belief pc that corresponds to a likelihood to re-identify data points from the dataset based on a differentially private function output. Privacy parameters ?, ? are then calculated based on the received data that govern a differential privacy (DP) algorithm to be applied to a function to be evaluated over a dataset. The calculating is based on a ratio of probabilities distributions of different observations, which are bound by the posterior belief pc as applied to a dataset. The calculated privacy parameters are then used to apply the DP algorithm to the function over the dataset. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

  • Publication number: 20250036501
    Abstract: A method includes determining a cluster reliability of a computing cluster including a maximum computing capacity and representative of a reliability of the computing cluster when utilizing an entirety of the maximum computing capacity. The operations include receiving a provisioning request of the computing cluster including a threshold reliability of the computing cluster. In response to the provisioning request, determining, using the cluster reliability, a reserved computing capacity of the computing cluster based on the threshold reliability. The reserved computing capacity is less than the maximum computing capacity. Based on the reserved computing capacity and the maximum computing capacity, the operations include determining an unreserved computing capacity of the computing cluster. The operations include provisioning the computing cluster for execution of a user workload. The user workload executes on the unreserved computing capacity.

  • Publication number: 20240368243
    Abstract: The present invention relates to T cell receptors (TCRs) that bind the HLA-A*02 restricted peptide SLLQHLIGL (SEQ ID NO: 1) derived from the germline cancer antigen PRAME. Said TCRs may comprise non-natural mutations within the alpha and/or beta variable domains relative to a native PRAME TCR. The TCRs of the invention are particularly suitable for use as novel immunotherapeutic reagents for the treatment of malignant disease.

  • Patent number: 12117074
    Abstract: A vehicle includes first and second drive units, such as drive units that each include an electric motor and a gear train coupling the electric motor to one or more wheels. A first drive unit may be idled while the second drive unit continues to induce movement of the vehicle. Losses within the first drive unit while idled may be reduced by heating the first drive unit, such as with heat generated by the second drive unit. A cooling system is present and may be used to heat the first drive unit by directing fluid exiting the second drive unit into the first drive unit before entering the cooling system or bypassing the cooling system entirely. Oil circulation within the first drive unit may facilitate heating of the gear train by bypassing a heat exchanger receiving the oil and the fluid.
