Patent number: 12253617Abstract: Systems and methods are described for determining a peripheral's location based on observations from a plurality of centrals. A central may periodically transmit its location and observations of peripherals to a backend. The backend may match the location of the central with one or more observations of a peripheral to estimate a location of the peripheral. The backend may receive observations of the same peripheral from a plurality of centrals. The backend may aggregate estimated locations to triangulate a more precise location of the peripheral.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2024Date of Patent: March 18, 2025Assignee: Samsara Inc.Inventors: Ernie Aguilar, Pierre Gavaret, Jason Smith, Christopher Frost, Matthew Basham

Patent number: 12254050Abstract: A computer system for origin detection for webpage cookies loads a webpage. Loading the webpage causes a browser to store one or more cookies. The computer system creates a first cookie snapshot of the one or more cookies and a first initiator snapshot of one or more initiators for each cookie. The computer system then generates, from the first cookie snapshot and the first initiator snapshot, an initiator directed acyclic graph. Further, the computer system displays information, from the initiator directed acyclic graph, on a link between a particular cookie and a particular initiator.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2023Date of Patent: March 18, 2025Assignee: ObservePoint, Inc.Inventors: David Smith, Israel Carvajal, Robert Mount, Clinton Eagar, Michael Maziarz

Patent number: 12254597Abstract: An item recommendation system receives a set of recommendable items and a request to select, from the set of recommendable items, a contrast group. The item recommendation system selects a contrast group from the set of recommendable items by applying a image modification model to the set of recommendable items. The image modification model includes an item selection model configured to determine an unbiased conversion rate for each item of the set of recommendable items and select a recommended item from the set of recommendable items having a greatest unbiased conversion rate. The image modification model includes a contrast group selection model configured to select, for the recommended item, a contrast group comprising the recommended item and one or more contrast items. The item recommendation system transmits the contrast group responsive to the request.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2022Date of Patent: March 18, 2025Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Cameron Smith, Wei-An Lin, Timothy M.

Patent number: 12256355Abstract: This technology allows time synchronization in wireless networks with mobile stations. A wireless network controller transmits instructions to access points (“APs”) within the wireless network to monitor transmissions for time synchronization. One or more second APs observe fine time measurement (“FTM”) exchanges between a first AP and a mobile station. A particular second AP determines whether to perform a time synchronization with the first AP based on the detection of the FTM exchange or a determination that the station is moving toward the second AP. For time synchronization, the second AP determines the time that the first AP transmitted the FTM exchange and the time of transmission from the first AP to the second AP. The second AP synchronizes a second AP clock to the summation of the time of the transmission of the FTM exchange and the time of transmission from the first AP to the second AP.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2023Date of Patent: March 18, 2025Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Malcolm Muir Smith, Jerome Henry

Patent number: 12251097Abstract: A multiple-firing clip device includes a hollow shaft defining a lateral opening communicating with an environment and a distal shaft portion between the lateral opening and a distal end opening. A shuttle longitudinally moves on the shaft and comprises a shuttle body defining a lumen surrounding the shaft, a snare, and a snare-extender slide defining a snare track to form a snare travel path in which the snare is disposed from the body and through the track and a portion of the body. The slide moves along a given extent defining a slide distance and a distal end and movement of the slide to the distal end shortens the snare travel path to extend the snare portion through the lateral opening, through the distal shaft portion, and distally out from a distal side of the body longer than the given extent to secure a suture with the snare.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2021Date of Patent: March 18, 2025Assignee: Edwards Lifesciences AGInventors: Derek Dee Deville, Kevin W.
