  • Publication number: 20250139282
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for adaptive privacy-preserving information retrieval. An information server can accept from a user a request for privacy sensitive information accessible to the information server. The information server can determine a remaining privacy allocation for the user of the information server and can determine a noise parameter for a response to the request, where application of the noise parameter to the response can decrease a privacy loss associated with the response. The information server can determine a privacy modifier for the response.

  • Patent number: 12216788
    Abstract: Systems and methods for the meta-estimation of data structures representing identifiers are disclosed. The system maintain one or more data records comprising one or more identifiers and one or more attributes. Using the data records, the system can generate a first data structure, such as a probabilistic data structure, that represents the plurality of data records. The first data structure can have a plurality of registers. The system can identify a subset of the plurality of registers that are equal to a predetermined value, and generate a second data structure that represents the subset of the plurality of registers. The system can then store the second data structure as a meta-estimation of the first, and can utilize the second data structure in further processing operations.

  • Publication number: 20240424788
    Abstract: An inkjet printer printhead, member thereof, or other component has an internal cavity that has a protective coating. Further surfaces of the component may have the protective coating. To make the protective coating, a target thickness for a film of HfO2 (hafnia) is selected, that will avoid formation of pinholes, thin spots and nodule growth. Using atomic layer deposition (ALD), with the processing adjusted for the target thickness, the film of HfO2 is deposited as a conformal layer on the component, including on a surface of the internal cavity, to form a coated component. A non-wetting coating can be included over the film of HfO2.

  • Publication number: 20240391238
    Abstract: An ink jet printing system includes: a print head including multiple fluid ejectors, each fluid ejector including a corresponding nozzle defined in a bottom surface of the print head, each nozzle configured to eject a liquid onto a substrate. The nozzles can be arranged in an array including four or more parallel rows, the rows extending along a direction that is perpendicular to a process direction of the ink jet printing system. The process direction is the direction of relative motion between the print head and the substrate during operation of the print head. A spacing between adjacent nozzles in each row can be such that a nozzle density in each row is less than 75 nozzles per inch. A spacing between adjacent rows in the process direction can be less than the spacing between adjacent nozzles in each row.

  • Patent number: 12124611
    Abstract: At least one aspect is directed to determining an estimate of an intersection of user identifiers in a first set of user identifiers and a second set of user identifiers. The first and second sets of user identifiers can be populated with user identifiers that have interacted with the same content item or content item campaign. Estimates of intersections of the first and the second sets can be determined based on a binomial vector approach, a vector of counts approach, or a hybrid approach. The binomial vector approach generates vectors based on k hashes of each user identifier in the first set and summing the vectors to generate a first vector. The intersection can be determined based on a dot product of the first vector and a second vector similarly generated from the second set of user identifiers.

  • Patent number: 9523977
    Abstract: A method for dispensing products from a vending machine includes presenting a start screen of a user interface including menu options associated with a selection of a product. A first interaction associated with the menu options is received and recorded for use in generating an identifier. Additional interactions are received and recorded for use in generating the identifier. Each of the additional interactions corresponds to a selection made a unique sub menu of a plurality of sub menus. The additional interactions are associated with the selection of the product. A last interaction of the additional interactions determines the product to be purchased. An identifier is generated based on the recorded first interaction and the recorded at least one additional interaction. The identifier represents a sequential mapping of the first interaction and the additional interactions. The product and the identifier are provided to a user of the vending machine.
