  • Patent number: 11875728
    Abstract: A method for mitigating interference across analog signal lines includes receiving a digital data stream including a plurality of discrete signal patterns configured to drive a plurality of different analog signal lines. An edge buffer for each analog signal line is populated with edge data representing pulse edges of upcoming signal patterns set to drive the analog signal line. A target buffer for a target signal line is populated with target data representing a target signal pattern. Based at least in part on determining that edge buffers corresponding to one or more potentially interfering analog signal lines include edge data corresponding to post-target pulse edges, one or more potentially interfering signal patterns are identified. A selected set of the potentially interfering signal patterns are used to modify the target signal pattern to perform preemptive interference mitigation.

  • Patent number: 11871329
    Abstract: In a first participant in a network—such as an ad hoc wireless network—a facility performs peer regulation of the network. The facility monitors behavior of a second participant in the network that has appointed itself a routing participant for the network. Among the monitored behavior, the facility identifies behavior of the second participant that is inconsistent with its routing participant status. In response to this identifying, the facility sends a message to participants of the network including a third participant indicating that the second participant is no longer a routing participant.

  • Publication number: 20230412307
    Abstract: Improved techniques for recovering from an error condition without requiring a re-transmittal of data across a high-speed data link and for improved power usage are disclosed herein. A data stream is initiated. This stream includes different types of packets. Error correcting code (ECC) is selectively imposed on a control data type packet. A transmitter node and a receiver node are connected via a hard link that has multiple virtual channels. Each virtual channel is associated with a corresponding power-consuming node. When the receiver node receives the control data type packet, error correction is performed if needed without re-transmittal. When a final data type packet is transmitted for each virtual channel, the transmitter node transmits an end condition type packet. A corresponding power-consuming node that corresponds to the respective virtual channel transitions from an active state to a low power state.

  • Patent number: 11828600
    Abstract: An Augmented Reality (AR) wayfinder tracks the current location of a user within an indoor location relative to a path defined through the indoor location for the user. The path is broken into segments, each segment is a straight line between two nodes, and each node represents either a starting point in the path, a turn along the path, or an ending point in the path. As the user traverses the path, a remaining distance between the user device and the next node in the path is calculated. An AR object with attributes that correlate to the remaining distance to the next node is blended into and superimposed into a video that the user is viewing through the user device of the physical environment as the user travels along the path.

  • Publication number: 20230373155
    Abstract: Methods to in-situ monitor production of additive manufacturing products collects images from the deposition process on a layer-by-layer basis, including a void image of the pattern left in a slurry layer after deposition of a layer and a displacement image formed by immersing the just-deposited layer in a renewed slurry layer. Image properties of the void image and displacement image are corrected and then compared to a binary expected image from a computer generated model to identify defects in the just-deposited layer on a layer-by-layer basis. Additional methods use the output from the comparison to form a 3D model corresponding to at least a portion of the additive manufacturing product. Components to control the additive manufacturing operation based on digital model data and to in-situ monitor successive layers for manufacturing defects can be embodied in a computer system or computer-aided machine, such as a computer controlled additive manufacturing machine.

  • Publication number: 20230367825
    Abstract: A data processing system for searching network requests to extract values of parameters in the network requests includes a shared memory that stores data structures, wherein each of the data structures is stored in association with a value of a key, and wherein each of the data structures includes one or more entries for storage of data representing a network request. A parser engine parses a particular network request for values of parameters and for a value of a key. A search engine queries the shared memory for a particular data structure stored in association with the value of the key. A logic engine detects an absence of a particular entry, in the particular data structure, that stores data representing the particular network request, generates an entry in the particular data structure, and stores in the generated entry the values of the parameters.

  • Patent number: 11818589
    Abstract: Embodiments described are directed to the evaluation of a dynamically changing communication network environment to ensure that individual participant thresholds and network-centric thresholds are maintained and satisfied. A plurality of conditions for multiple dimensions of data are set for each participant in the network and for the network as a whole. The participant and network conditions, along with the participant capabilities, are considered holistically across the entire network to determine if the network and the participants are meeting thresholds for the different dimensions of data. In various embodiments, the thresholds, either at an individual participant level or at the network level, may be augmented with priorities to ensure that higher priorities are satisfied.

  • Publication number: 20230362786
    Abstract: A facility for operating a first node in a mesh network having other nodes is described. The first node directly receives signals each encoding an identifier of one of the other nodes, at least a portion of the signals also encoding an indication that the node having the identifier has appointed itself a routing node. The facility determines a first value equal to the number of unique node identifiers encoded in signals received during a first period of time, and a second value equal to the number of unique node identifiers encoded by signals received during the first period of time that also encode the indication. The facility determines a routing score for the first node based at least upon the first value and the second value that reflects the first node's suitability as a routing node in the mesh network.
