  • Patent number: 12367145
    Abstract: The disclosed device includes a processor and an interconnect connecting the processor to a memory. The interconnect includes an interconnect agent that can forward memory requests from the processor to the memory and receive requested data returned by the memory. The requested data can include information for a next memory request such that the interconnect agent can send, to the memory, a speculative memory request using information for the next memory request that was received in response to the memory request. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20250227087
    Abstract: A system includes data processing hardware and memory hardware in communication with the data processing hardware. The memory hardware stores instructions that when executed on the data processing hardware cause the data processing hardware to perform operations. The operations include configuring a ping interval protocol for an electronic control unit (ECU), initializing a ping fail counter of the ping interval protocol, and establishing a message queueing telemetry transport (MQTT) session. The operations also include detecting a ping status of the ping interval protocol, determining, automatically, an optimal ping interval of the ping interval protocol based on the detected ping status and the ping fail counter, constructing a ping interval topic for the MQTT session, and publishing the determined optimal ping interval to the ping interval topic.

  • Patent number: 12350673
    Abstract: A method includes flowing a first fluid through a first channel of a microfluidic apparatus and flowing a second fluid through a second channel of the microfluidic apparatus. The first fluid comprises biological material and a matrix material and is immiscible with the second fluid. The first and second fluids are combined at a junction to form droplets of the first fluid dispersed in the second fluid in a third channel. Multiple exposures of a droplet in the third channel are captured in a single image, comprising: illuminating a region of the third channel with multiple successive illumination pulses during a single frame of the imaging device; identifying the droplet and determining a velocity or a size of the droplet based on an analysis of the captured exposures; and controlling the flow of the first fluid or second fluid to obtain droplets of a target size or velocity.

  • Publication number: 20250182159
    Abstract: A computer system for targeting electronic communications, the system may determine a response to electronic communications by receiving interaction data indicating interactions with electronic communications, receiving purchase data indicating the user's purchases, determining a metric representing the user's response based on the received interaction data and the received purchase data, and comparing the metric to a threshold. The system may generate instructions for users with a determined positive response to receive electronic communications, for a test group of users to not receive electronic communications, and for a control group of users to receive electronic communications. The system may repeatedly re-assign user identifiers associated with the users in the test group to the control group upon determining the user's purchasing behavior has declined relative to a purchasing behavior of the control group.

  • Patent number: 12293338
    Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems for generating and applying vehicle maintenance models to vehicle telematics data. A vehicle telematics analytics (VTA) computing device is configured to receive vehicle telematics data associated with operation of a subject vehicle, and apply the received vehicle telematics data to a vehicle maintenance model to determine whether the operation of the subject vehicle is better or worse than standard operation of like vehicles. The VTA computing device may adjust a maintenance cost and/or determine if a user of the vehicle is eligible for a reward based upon this determination. The VTA computing device is configured to transmit an itemized report to the user including the adjusted maintenance cost and/or the reward as well as one or more other vehicle costs.

  • Publication number: 20250119714
    Abstract: A method includes transmitting a first wireless communication from a user device via an authorized first cellular network. The first wireless communication includes a current geographic location of the user device. The user device maintains a forbidden list identifying unauthorized cellular networks. Based on determining that the user device is approaching a geofence between a first network coverage area of the first cellular network and a second network coverage area of a second cellular network that is identified on the forbidden list, the method includes removing the second cellular network from the forbidden list. With the second cellular network removed from the forbidden list and based on the user device entering the second network coverage area, the method includes transmitting a second wireless communication from the user device via the second cellular network that includes an updated geographic location of the user device.
