  • Patent number: 12381858
    Abstract: A computing device includes a direct memory access (DMA) engine coupled to a memory, a network interface, and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is to perform a secure exchange with a second computing device to negotiate a shared encryption key, based on a request for data received via the network interface from the second computing device. The DMA engine is to retrieve the data from a storage location based on an encryption command. The encryption command indicates the storage location. The DMA engine is to encrypt the data based on the shared encryption key to generate encrypted data, and store the encrypted data in the memory.

    Abstract: Disclosed ae fabric-based radio frequency identification (RFID) tags and methods of manufacture. The method is characterized by forming a knitted fabric from at least one primary non-conductive fiber and a secondary conductive fiber, wherein the secondary conductive fiber is distributed within the knitted fabric to form a plurality of dipole antennas; integrating an RFID inlay with each of the plurality of dipole antennas to form pairs of inlays and antennas; and, cutting the knitted fabric to separate each of the pairs of inlays and antennas into individual RFID tags. The RFID inlay comprises an RFID integrated circuit (IC) and a loop antenna on a substrate; the RFID inlay is positioned on the fabric-based antenna such that the loop antenna is inductively coupled to a dipole antenna.

  • Patent number: 12378920
    Abstract: There is provided a method of operating a gas turbine engine including a combustor. The combustor includes a combustion chamber and a plurality of fuel spray nozzles configured to inject fuel into the chamber. The nozzles include a first and second subset of fuel spray nozzles. The combustor is operable in a condition wherein the first subset is supplied with more fuel than the second. A ratio of the number of nozzles in the first subset to the second is 1:2 to 1:5. The method includes operating the engine so a reduction of 20-80% in an average of particles/kg of nvPM in the exhaust when the engine is operating at 85% available thrust for given operating conditions and when the engine is operating at 30% is obtained when fuel provided to the nozzles is a sustainable aviation fuel instead of a fossil-based hydrocarbon fuel. Also provided is a gas turbine engine for an aircraft.

  • Patent number: 12380280
    Abstract: Techniques for displaying workflow responses based on determining topics associated with user requests are discussed herein. In some examples, a user may post a request (e.g., question) to a virtual space (e.g., a channel, thread, board, etc.) of a communication platform. The communication platform may input the request into a machine learning model trained to identify topics associated with the request and confidence levels associated with topics. In such examples, the communication platform may associate a topic with the user request based on the confidence level of the topic. In some examples, the communication platform may determine that the topic is associated with a graphical identifier (e.g., emoji). The communication platform may cause the graphical identifier to be displayed to the virtual space within which the user request was posted. In response to displaying the graphical identifier, the communication platform may display a workflow response to the virtual space.

  • Patent number: 12379121
    Abstract: This application relates to a building energy analysis and management system for measurement and verification of building performance. The system can analyze, optimize, manage, maintain, trouble shoot, and/or modify building systems, such as HVAC systems, in connection with the building energy usage. Measurements may be gathered for one or more HVAC units coupled to pressure independent valves, and sent to one or more Surge Panels that pass data to remote analysis servers, which can receive other system or external data. The analysis servers compare measurements to predicted values and can standardize the predicted values to account for external conditions. The comparison can result in difference values used to generate probable causes and optimization recommendations. The system outputs reports or other data display using a graphical user interface that can be adjusted for an anticipated user.
