  • Publication number: 20250284613
    Abstract: In some aspects, a compliance computing system can generate an evidence repository including evidence data received via an application programming interface (API) from one or more external systems. The system can generate an evidence repository including evidence data received via an application programming interface (API) from one or more systems. The system can receive a compliance request including a compliance query, the compliance query including a requirement identifier associated with a target requirement. The system can also query the evidence repository based on the requirement identifier to retrieve the evidence data associated with the target requirement. Finally, the system can transmit, via a firewall of the compliance computing system, a response message to an external computing system, wherein the response message includes the retrieved evidence data.

  • Patent number: 11580232
    Abstract: A system, product and process for building a package dependencies data structure. The method comprises determining a package instance identifier of the package to be processed. The package instance identifier is determined based on a unique identifier of the package to be processed and based on a unique identifier of a dependency sub-tree of the package to be processed in the package instance identifier. The package instance identifier is utilized to determine if a node representing the package to be processed exists or not. In case the node does not exist already in the data structure, the node is created and added.

  • Patent number: 11531312
    Abstract: A power supply control system includes a power generator for providing a signal to a load. The power generator includes a power controller controlling a power amplifier. The power generator includes an adaptive controller for varying the output signal controlling the power amplifier. The adaptive controller compares an error between a measured output and a predicted output to determine adaptive values applied to the power controller. The power generator also includes a sensor that generates an output signal that is digitized and processed. The sensor signal is mixed with a constant K. The constant K is varied to vary the processing of the sensor output signal. The value K may be commutated based on the phase, frequency, or both phase and frequency, and the bandwidth of K is determined by coupled power in the sensor output signal.

  • Patent number: 10990646
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of generating a form definition for a user interface form is disclosed. The method involves retrieving form definition data for a requested form from a database. One or more overrides are optionally applied to the form definition data to modify properties of form elements. Form instance data for the modified form is generated and stored for reuse. The form instance data is transmitted to a rendering module at a client device for generation of a user interface form based on the form instance data.

  • Patent number: 10553403
    Abstract: A plasma source is provided that includes multiple metallic blocks. A toroidal plasma chamber and a transformer are substantially embedded in the metallic blocks. The toroidal plasma chamber includes a gas inlet configured to receive a process gas and a gas outlet configured to expel at least a portion of the process gas from the plasma chamber. The plasma chamber also includes multiple linear channel segments, multiple joints, an inlet joint, and an outlet joint machined into the metallic blocks. Each of the inlet joint, the outlet joint, and the joints connects a pair of the linear channel segments. The linear channel segments, the joints, the inlet joint and the outlet joint in combination form the toroidal plasma chamber. The gas inlet is disposed on the inlet joint. The gas outlet is disposed on the outlet joint. An inner angle of each of the joints is greater than about 90 degrees.

  • Patent number: 10299595
    Abstract: A chair having an articulating backrest that deforms when reclined to support an occupant's head or shoulders. A backrest assembly includes a mesh insert secured to a frame, which includes an upper frame section and a lower frame section interconnected by a pair of articulated joints. A push arm pivotally connects to the chair's seat assembly and to the backrest's upper frame section. As the chair reclines, the push arm restricts the angular movement of the upper frame section relative to a floor. The lower frame section moves forward relative to the upper frame section. Consequently, an angle formed between the lower frame section and the upper frame section decreases during recline, thereby supporting the chair occupant's head or shoulders. Optionally, a tensioning member may connect the mesh insert to the push arm to offset any loss of tension caused by the deformation of the frame during reclined.
