Abstract: Providing a profile as a service is described herein. In an example, a computer system of stores account information for an account with a first service provider and profile information of a profile of the account. The computer system stores access control information that controls access to the account information and the profile information. The computer system receives an information request of a second service provider and determines, based at least in part on the access control information, a permission for the second service provider to access at least a portion of the profile information. The computer system sends, to the second service provider, the portion of the profile information in a response to the information request.

Abstract: The system and method of converting high DC voltage input into low voltage output using DC/DC flyback converter using differential transformation technique. The said system comprises a primary winding of a transformer connected to the positive terminal of a DC supply. A primary power circuit including a MOSFET connected to the drain terminal of the MOSFET. Further, a pair of secondary winding of the transformer provided connected differentially to each other. The output voltage of the secondary side of the converter is based on the turn ratio of primary winding and the two secondary winding, wherein the two secondary windings are connected differentially with opposite polarity to each other.

Abstract: A method of securing biometric information may involve obtaining a digital image that contains biometric information. The method may involve identifying at least one region of the digital image that contains the biometric information and masking the biometric information. The biometric information may be a user's fingerprint and the user's fingerprint may be sufficiently masked that the masked fingerprint would not be accepted as authentic by most or all biometric authentication systems as matching the original fingerprint.

Abstract: A water heating system having a tank and one or more heat sources for heating water is provided. The water heating system includes a water outlet for allowing egress of water from the tank and a dip tube for allowing ingress of water into the tank. The dip tube includes a first end for coupling with a water source and a second end disposed proximate a base of the tank for discharging water into the tank through an array of holes. Each of the holes is defined in a side wall of the dip tube and laterally discharges water with respect to a longitudinal axis of the second end of the dip tube.

Abstract: An air sanitation device is disclosed. The air sanitation device can include a base section, a body section, and an air movement device configured to move air through at least a portion of the air sanitation device. The air sanitation device can move air from an inlet of the air sanitation device, and past an ultraviolet (UV) light source, and out an outlet of the air sanitation device. The air sanitation device can be configured to draw in air from within or below a breathing zone. The air sanitation device can be configured to draw in air from below the breathing zone and output sanitized air. The sanitized air can be outputted at an angle such that the sanitized air flows in a generally downward direction.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method can include obtaining a first text composition and obtaining first user data of a first user. The method can further include generating a first set of character fingerprinting rules that corresponds to the first user. The method can further include performing a first modification of the first text composition, according to the first set of fingerprinting rules. The first modification can result in a first fingerprinted text composition that corresponds to the first user.

Abstract: A dynamically correcting cache memory is capable of correcting itself by dynamically reflecting any modifications inflicted upon the data/information to be stored therein. Further, the cache memory is refreshed at predetermined time intervals and also based on predetermined criteria, thereby ensuring a high cache hit rate. The dynamically correcting cache memory is bypassed for certain user queries prioritized based on a predetermined criteria. The dynamically correcting cache manages an inventory shared between multiple non-cooperative web-based, computer-implemented platforms. The dynamically correcting cache is directed to reducing caching errors in web based computer implemented platforms. The dynamically correcting cache responds to rapid changes associated with (online) behavior of users accessing web based computer implemented platforms by dynamically configuring TTL (Time-To-Live) values, in order to ensure that the data/information stored in the cache memory remains accurate.

Abstract: A high performance equalization method is disclosed for achieving low deterministic jitter across Process, Voltage and Temperature (PVT) for various channel lengths and data rates. The method includes receiving input signal at front end of a receiver upon passing through a channel, generating with an eye-opening monitor circuit a control code based on channel conditions, and equalizing with a continuous-time linear equalization equalizer (CTLE) circuit the input signal based on the control code such that the eye-opening monitor circuit and the CTLE circuit are biased based on their corresponding replica circuits, and the control code is generated in a feedforward configuration.
