  • Publication number: 20250238662
    Abstract: Data characterizing a prompt and/or a parameter set can be received. Data characterizing an enhanced prompt can be generated. The enhanced prompt can be stored in a template. When a change in ta type of the artificial intelligence based model, a setting of the artificial intelligence based model, or a configuration for an enterprise in which the artificial intelligence based model is deployed, is determined to be above a threshold, the enhanced prompt can be modified. The modified enhanced prompt can be provided to one or more applications interfacing with the artificial intelligence model, or derivative of the template. Related apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 12211473
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a musical instrument comprising a plurality of chimes, each of which has a fork portion comprising first and second prongs, or tines, and a resonator portion. Each chime is configured to produce a note of a predetermined pitch and frequency when one of the tines is struck by a mallet. The instrument may also be configured so that the note produced by striking one of the tines with a mallet has a desirable sustain. Embodiments of the musical instrument may be configured for installation in an outdoor environment, such as a playground or other recreational area, and thus to withstand the stresses associated with such an installation.

  • Patent number: 12186099
    Abstract: An optoacoustic probe for optoacoustic imaging of a volume, the optoacoustic probe having a distal end operable to contact the volume and a proximal end. The optoacoustic probe includes at least one primary light source and an auxiliary light source that is configured to generate auxiliary light carried through an optical window to a volume. A detection device is configured to detect signals generated from the auxiliary light or primary light reflecting from the volume or the optical window. A microcontroller including one or more processors is also provided, that receives the signals generated from the auxiliary light reflecting from the volume from the detection device, determines contact between the volume and the optoacoustic probe based on the auxiliary light reflecting from the volume, and prevents the at least one primary light source from generating light until the optoacoustic probe is contacting the volume.

  • Publication number: 20240329801
    Abstract: Data is received characterizing an impact function, a first plurality of inputs to the impact function, and a plurality of weights associated with the first plurality of inputs. A first coefficient characterizing an interaction between a first input and a second input of the plurality of inputs is calculated based on a first set of weights of the plurality of weights. The first set of weights are indicative of interaction between the first input and the second input. A graphical object including a plurality of regions is displayed in a graphical user interface (GUI). A first region and a second region of the plurality of regions are indicative of the first input and the second input, respectively. A second graphical object connecting the first region to the second region is displayed in the GUI. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

  • Publication number: 20240291802
    Abstract: A segmentation firewall executing on a host enforces a segmentation policy. In a co-existence mode, the segmentation firewall operates in co-existence with a system firewall that enforces a security policy. The segmentation firewall is configured to either drop packets that do not match any permissive rule or pass packets that match a permissive rule to the system firewall to enable the system firewall to determine whether to drop or accept the passed packets. To enable efficient operation of the segmentation firewall when operating in co-existence with the system firewall, the segmentation firewall may include a plurality of rule chains and may be configured to exit a chain and bypass remaining rule chains upon an input packet matching a permissive rule of the segmentation policy.

  • Publication number: 20240281118
    Abstract: An apparatus for investigating an analyzable incident over a time period, having a database that stores data sets containing events about the incident with a timestamp, source, and content. A data processing computer operates on these data sets. A display module, connected to the computer, displays a GUI that allows a user to select and annotate events. The GUI includes a control panel and an event visualization panel that display a source-event view or a timeline view. The GUI receives timeline events from the database, each with a timestamp. The timeline view displays a timeline flowchart and a time-series graph, both chronologically aligned. The flowchart shows events along a time axis, with user-selectable icons representing each event. The GUI also receives an incident time series and displays a line graph based on datapoints within the timeline window. Variable values corresponding to each event are observable on the line graph.
