  • Patent number: 12292971
    Abstract: Statistical properties of known malware distributions may be used to improve estimates of malware detection metrics such as a base rate of malicious events in a target environment or missed detections (also referred to as false negatives). In particular, numerous synthetic sample distributions may be generated based on the statistical properties of a base data set and/or additional observed data, and used to identify malware distributions that produce overall detection statistics corresponding to model output for live target data. The malware detection metrics for the live target data can then be characterized using the observed distributions of malware (and malware detections) for the synthetic sample distributions.

  • Publication number: 20250131261
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide for a prompt template to include private random strings that are used by a language model to reference specific tokens on which the language model has been trained. A number of random strings may be generated and inserted into a prompt template and assigned special token identifiers (IDs) in a tokenizer. The text data from the prompt template are tokenized to convert the random strings to the assigned special token IDs which are sent to the language model for inferencing. Based on the provided special token IDs, the language model may reference special tokens learned from training and then generates an inference. The random strings remain hidden during their lifetime and may be updated on-demand to ensure security.

  • Patent number: 12271262
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus related to data recovery in memory devices. In one approach, a memory device encodes stored data. The memory device reads a codeword from a storage media and determines that a number errors in the codeword exceeds an error correction capability of the memory device. The errors are due, for example, to one or more stuck bits. In response to this determination, one or more data patterns are written to the storage media at the same address from which the codeword is read. The data patterns are read to identify bit locations of the stuck bits. The identified locations are used to correct bit errors of the read codeword that correspond to the identified locations. The corrected code word is sent to a host device (e.g., which requested data from the memory device using a read command).

  • Patent number: 12271474
    Abstract: A system for conducting a security recognition task, the system comprising a memory configured to store a model and training data including auxiliary information that will not be available as input to the model when the model is used as a security recognition task model for the security recognition task. The system further comprising one or more processors communicably linked to the memory and comprising a training unit and a prediction unit. The training unit is configured to receive the training data and the model from the memory and subsequently provide the training data to the model, and train the model, as the security recognition task model, using the training data to predict the auxiliary information as well as to perform the security recognition task, thereby improving performance of the security recognition task. The prediction unit is configured to use the security recognition task model output to perform the security recognition task while ignoring the auxiliary attributes in the model output.

  • Publication number: 20250083844
    Abstract: Packaging methods include inserting an article into a virtual pouch defined by folding and tacking a first sheet of textile material. The first sheet is then folded about the article such that the first sheet encompasses the article. A second sheet of a textile material is then folded about the first sheet into a configuration such that the second sheet entirely envelops and encloses the first sheet and the textile article. The second folded sheet is then secured in the enveloping configuration. Alternatively, the article is wrapped in and encompassed by a first sheet of textile material by folding and the resulting package is then enclosed within a virtual pouch created in a second sheet of textile material. The resulting outer sheet enclosing the inner sheet with the textile article is then secured in its enclosing configuration with a strap. The packaging materials can be cleaned and decontaminated for reuse.

  • Publication number: 20250021734
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for implementing defined circuit structure pattern identification and placement avoidance in an integrated circuit. Disclosed embodiments identify regions of circuits containing potentially problematic content from review of physical design data of at least a portion of the integrated circuit. The identified circuits containing problematic content along at least one circuit boundary are marked with a keyword. The keyword is maintained with the identified problematic circuit throughout the hierarchical construction of the integrated circuit. The keyword is used to keep the identified problematic circuits spaced apart from other sensitive circuits to avoid performance disruption of adjacent sensitive circuits.

  • Patent number: 12150535
    Abstract: A hair styling device features a headband worn along a hairline of a user's head and spanning around a crown thereof, preferably with an ornamental appearance displayed on a front portion of the headband across the along a front hairline to enable daytime wearing thereof in social settings. A rear portion of the headband is embodied by a bobble strand comprising a series of ball-shaped bobbles sequentially arranged therealong to span in series across the back of the users head, where the user's hair is able to be wrapped around said bobble strand at a rear of the hairline. This wound state of the user's hair around the said strand of bobbles imparts a curling action that leaves behind a curled hairstyle on the user's hair when the headband is removed.

  • Publication number: 20240371075
    Abstract: A method of operating a graphics processor to perform ray tracing. The graphics processor includes a ray tracing circuit that can be messaged by the graphics processor's programmable execution unit during execution of a program to perform a respective traversal of the at least one ray tracing acceleration data structure to be traversed for that ray. The ray tracing circuit may need to stop a ray's traversal to return the ray's processing to the programmable execution unit before the ray's traversal is subsequently restarted. In that case, the ray's traversal is restarted from the beginning.
