Publication number: 20240121240Abstract: Computing platforms, methods, and storage media for providing multi-channel authentication are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: receive, from a plurality of system access channels, authentication data related to a plurality of data transfers and to a plurality of users; consolidate the authentication data from the plurality of access channels to generate a set of consolidated authentication data; and generate a user interface, based on the set of consolidated authentication data, to enable execution of a centrally-provided authentication function at a selected system access channel for a selected user initiating a data transfer. An authentication hub according to an implementation may provide a common authentication experience and improved authentication for the plurality of access channels, which may include a telephone contact center, an in-person or branch location, and online services such as web-based or app-based.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Jacquelyn LIDDY, Robert Dean ALLEN, Joel David HAMMOND, Vamshidhar PONNAMANENI, Ryan James TEVLIN, Sara Sabrina Albuen SANTOS, Richard JONES, Bijoy NAICK, Blerina HOXHA, Merad KESTAY, Catharine Eugenie BOUCHARD, Aniruddha Prakash KUNDLEY, Meredith Katharine Carter GREENFIELD

Patent number: 11924106Abstract: A system for facilitating sender-side granular congestion control is provided. During operation, the first and second processes of an application can run on sender and receiver nodes, respectively. A first buffer on the sender node can be allocated to the first process. For the first process, the system can then identify a second buffer at a last-hop switch of the receiver node. The system can determine, based on in-flight packets, the utilization of the second buffer. The system can also determine a fraction of available space in the second buffer for packets from the first buffer based on the utilization. Subsequently, the system can determine whether the fraction of the available space can accommodate the next packet from the first buffer. If the fraction of the available space can accommodate the next packet, the system can allow the first process to send the next packet to the second process.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LPInventors: Ryan Dean Menhusen, Darel Neal Emmot, Daniel William Dauwe

Publication number: 20230143692Abstract: A fitting has a first housing including a first body and a second body. The first body defines a first channel and a second channel, and second body defines a third channel that is co-planar with the first channel and a fourth channel that is co-planar with the first channel. First bearings are disposed within the first channel and the third channel, where the first bearings rotatably coupled the first housing to the second housing. Additionally, second bearings are disposed within the second channel and the fourth channel, the second bearings rotatably coupling the first housing to the second housing. A plug couples to the first housing, a gasket is disposed between the plug and the first housing, and a passage is defined at least in part by the first housing, the second housing, and the plug.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2021Publication date: May 11, 2023Applicant: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Curtis John Graham, Christopher Anthony Kinney, Robert E.

Patent number: 11644882Abstract: One embodiment provides a system and method for predicting network power usage associated with workloads. During operation, the system configures a simulator to simulate operations of a plurality of network components, which comprises embedding one or more event counters in each simulated network component. A respective event counter is configured to count a number of network-power-related events. The system collects, based on values of the event counters, network-power-related performance data associated with one or more sample workloads applied to the simulator; and trains a machine-learning model with the collected network-power-related performance data and characteristics of the sample workloads as training data 1, thereby facilitating prediction of network-power-related performance associated with a to-be-evaluated workload.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2021Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignee: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LPInventors: Harumi Kuno, Alan Davis, Torsten Wilde, Daniel William Dauwe, Duncan Roweth, Ryan Dean Menhusen, Sergey Serebryakov, John L.

Patent number: 10695048Abstract: Utilities (e.g., systems, methods, etc.) for reducing or limiting slack in stitching or suture constructs secured to tissues in a manner that limits the need for surgeons to physically pull on patients' muscles to remove such slack and that may ultimately reduce recovery time for patients. In one aspect, a method of creating or anchoring a suture construct (e.g., a method of stitching) in tissue in a manner that produces first and second opposite portions of the construct that can be pulled apart in any appropriate manner to apply a tension in the construct to remove slack therein substantially free of pulling on patients' muscles to remove such slack is disclosed. The present utilities also describe a tool that can be used to automatically apply a predetermined level of tension to a suture construct to remove slack therein.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2018Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Inventor: Ryan Dean

Publication number: 20170203219Abstract: A toy doll with insertable teeth comprising: a toy doll figure, a pouch or compartment built into the doll to hold a child's real primary tooth until it is removed by the imaginary “tooth fairy” (understood to be an adult), specially-formed jaw pieces (upper and lower) with receptacles to receive simulated teeth, and specially-formed simulated teeth pieces that include a mechanical faster to allow for the one-time insertion of each tooth into the jaw pieces. The toy doll can be used with an evolving story media, that provides an imaginative and tangible conclusion to the “tooth fairy” tradition via a tangible physical representation that a child has given their expelled real primary teeth to the toy doll.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2017Publication date: July 20, 2017Inventor: Ryan Dean
