  • Patent number: 12375505
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a traffic inspection service executed by an intermediary device obtains, from a monitoring agent executed by an endpoint device, keying information for an encrypted traffic session between the endpoint device and a remote entity. The traffic inspection service provides a notification to the monitoring agent that acknowledges receipt of the keying information. The traffic inspection service uses the keying information to decrypt encrypted traffic from the encrypted traffic session. The traffic inspection service applies a policy to the encrypted traffic session between the endpoint device and the remote entity, based on the decrypted traffic from the session.

  • Publication number: 20250238599
    Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to a compression scheme for stable universally unique identities in a collaborative editing environment. A client receives edits to a document and immediately creates a local short identity for an element of each edit, whereby the local short identity represents an offset from a base unique identity associated with the client from which a unique identifier assigned to the element is derivable. The local short identity information including the local short identity for each element is transmitted to a server. Subsequently, global short identity information is received from the server from which one or more global short identities that each map to a local short identity of a client of a plurality of clients collaborating on the document can be determined by the client. Each global short identity is a compact identity that is universally unique to the plurality of clients including the client.

  • Publication number: 20250239357
    Abstract: A join request from a patient computing system identifies a patient, who is assigned to a waiting pool exposing each patient therein to a provider admitting computing system. An admission selection of the patient is received from the provider admitting computing system, and an audiovisual admissions teleconference between the patient computing system and the provider admitting computing system is initiated. A practitioner selection assignment from the provider admitting computing system assigns the patient to a provider practitioner, and in response, the patient is assigned to a provider practitioner pool associated with a provider practitioner computing system. The provider practitioner pool exposes each patient therein to the provider practitioner computing system. The audiovisual admissions teleconference is terminated.

  • Publication number: 20250133646
    Abstract: Metal oxide films are reduced to metal with an atmospheric pressure argon and hydrogen plasma at temperatures between 25 and 250° C. A 40-nm-thick copper oxide layer on a copper-coated silicon wafer, 300 mm in diameter, can be fully removed by the argon and hydrogen plasma in under two minutes at 150° C. The fast rate of metal oxide reduction to metal demonstrates that this process is well suited for front- and back-end semiconductor manufacturing, such as for example, flux-free flip chip bonding of microbumps.

  • Publication number: 20250104095
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for tracking, via a blockchain registry, carbon credits in goods produced from materials with sequestered carbon. Materials with sequestered carbon may be produced by reacting greenhouse gases with air and other reagents and catalysts (including biological organisms). Following production of a batch of material with sequestered carbon, a blockchain entry may be recorded with production details and details of carbon-credits earned during production. The carbon-sequestering material may later be converted into products, each of which may have a unique product identifier. A blockchain entry may be recorded with the unique product identifiers such that an owner of a unit of product can obtain, from the blockchain registry, a verified amount of carbon-credit associated with that unit.
