  • Publication number: 20240100501
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a multi-functional composition including activated carbon that is useful for injection or other application into soil or groundwater for removal (e.g., via adsorption) of inorganic contaminants in a contaminated plume. The composition of activated carbon may include physical and chemical properties to enhance the mechanism of contaminant physisorption and chemisorption including enhanced electrostatic interactions with contaminants. The multi-functional composition may further include one or more second materials (e.g., contaminant-selective agents) which comprise one or more compounds that improve the activated carbon's ability to sequester or otherwise immobilize inorganic contaminants in a subsurface environment.

  • Publication number: 20240086214
    Abstract: A method for electronic device virtualization and management includes transmitting a signal to a server from a client. The signal is initiated by a user of a user interface of the client. The user interface of the client presents at least two devices to the user, which the user may interact with. The signal may include a power cycling instruction directed to at least one of the devices. When the server receives a communication back from the at least one device, it may send the information to the client, where the user interface may be updated in response to the communication. The devices may be controlled with other instructions, such as scheduling instructions, firmware update instructions, and configuration backup instructions. If a power device is virtualized, it may be controlled on a port-by-port basis.

  • Patent number: 11921052
    Abstract: An inspection system may generate first-step images of multiple sample regions after a first process step and generate second-step images of the sample regions after a second process step, where the second process step modifies the sample in at least one of the sample regions. The system may further identify one of the sample regions as a test region and at least some of the remaining sample regions as comparison regions, where the second-step image of the test region is a test image and the second-step images of the comparison regions are comparison images. The system may further generate a multi-step difference image by subtracting a combination of at least one of the second-step comparison images and at least two of the first-step images from the test image. The system may further identify defects in the test region associated with the second process step based on the multi-step difference image.

  • Publication number: 20240070163
    Abstract: A method for using a metadata model to perform operations on data items, with the metadata model including parent nodes and child nodes connected by edges, with the parent nodes specifying logical metadata and the child nodes specifying physical metadata representing the data items, and with the edges specifying relationships between the nodes. The method includes: identifying a given data item and physical metadata of that given data item, accessing the metadata model, identifying, in the metadata model, a child node representing the physical metadata of the given data item, traversing one or more edges in the metadata model to identify parent nodes of the child node, determining, from logical metadata associated with the identified parent nodes, one or more operations to be performed on the given data item, applying the one or more operations to the given data item to transform the data item, and storing the transformed data item.

  • Publication number: 20230117329
    Abstract: Communication techniques are disclosed for a distributed computing system. The technique may be applied to an inline clearing and settlement messaging protocol whereby a matching engine may issue a transaction request (or settlement request) upon matching a proposed trade, identifying the parties and assets for the trade. A message gateway may validate and transmit the transaction request to a sequencer which sequences the transaction request into a time-accurate event stream so that transaction requests are distributed to relevant parties in chronological order. Each party may respond to the transaction request by simply checking its account to confirm availability of the relevant asset for the proposed trade and issuing a clearance response. The clearance responses form the basis for a transaction response that the message gateway sends to the matching engine to indicate success or failure of the inline clearing and settlement.

  • Patent number: 11568485
    Abstract: Embodiments of the transmission latency leveling apparatuses, methods and systems provide an electronic bidding order management infrastructure, such as a “point-of-presence,” which receives and routes electronic trading orders from different trading entities at a server via a transmission medium to create a certain amount of transmission latency before the trading orders could arrive at and be executed at electronic exchanges to reduce latency arbitrage and/or order book arbitrage that may be experienced by high frequency trading participants. A similar transmission latency may be applied to the egress transmission of market data updates issued by an electronic exchange. Other techniques for facilitating electronic trading are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11544388
    Abstract: A method and system operate to secure and efficiently manage data. The method includes performing steps such as generating independent keys corresponding to multiple portions of segmented data and utilizing the independent keys to encrypt the multiple portions of segmented data. The method additionally includes generating a master key, encrypting the independent keys with the master key, and storing each portion of the segmented data adjacent to the corresponding independent key in a data and key storage device. The method additionally includes segmenting the master key, thereby creating multiple master key segments and storing the multiple master key segments in disparate locations separate from the data.
