  • Publication number: 20240364137
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an apparatus includes an antenna and a rectifier operatively coupled to the antenna and configured to receive an input power via the antenna. The rectifier can include a plurality of stages, each stage of the plurality of stages including a tuning network including one or more lumped elements. An initial stage can be configured to receive the input power and produce a power based on the input power. Each stage of the plurality of stages coupled to the antenna via at least one previous stage can be configured to receive a power from the previous stage and to produce a subsequent power associated with (e.g., based on) the power received from the previous stage. The rectifier can be configured to output a power associated with a direct current (DC) voltage having a voltage level based on a voltage level associated with the input power.

  • Patent number: 12124603
    Abstract: Techniques for assessing a computing risk of an entity based on a social media footprint of that user. Social media accounts of an entity are identified. Queries are executed against the accounts to determine a social media footprint the entity has based on engagements with those accounts. The footprint reflects at least how much information associated with the entity has been exposed as a result of the engagements with those accounts. Based on the footprint, a risk score for the entity is developed. The risk score reflects a determined amount of computing risk the entity has with regard to potential malicious use of exposed entity information. Based on the risk score, mitigation operations are performed in an attempt to reduce the risk score.

  • Patent number: 12114876
    Abstract: Systems and methods for the intravascular treatment of clot material within a blood vessel of a human patient are disclosed herein. A method in accordance with embodiments of the present technology can include, for example, engaging an interventional device of a catheter system with clot material in a blood vessel and withdrawing the interventional device and the portion of the clot material through a guide catheter. In some embodiments, the catheter system can include an attachment/valve member coupled to a proximal portion of the guide catheter, and the method can include unsealing the attachment/valve member to facilitate withdrawing the interventional device through the attachment/valve member without significant retention of clot material within the attachment/valve member. The method can further include resealing and aspirating the guide catheter before advancing another interventional device to the clot material to again engage and remove clot material from the blood vessel.
