  • Patent number: 12265572
    Abstract: A Controlled Environment Secure Media Streaming System with Digital Video Recording (DVR) manages the delivery of content to Secured Devices. Cloud Services provide content to Integration Hub. The Integration Hub interfaces with various cloud services providers and prepares content for consumption by a resident of a secured facility. Integration Hub utilizes Content Filter to inspect content received from cloud service providers for suitability for use in a secured environment. Once content is retrieved, filtered, formatted, and packaged by Integration Hub, the content is stored in Data Warehouse. When requested content is not available, the system schedule a future retrieval or DVR of the content when it becomes available. When the system detects that the content is stopped, the system creates a bookmark, so the user can resume the content at the bookmarked portion at a later time.

  • Patent number: 12263048
    Abstract: A biopsy site marker configured to expand upon deployment into a biopsy cavity, and visible under several different imaging modalities, comprises a superabsorbent hydrogel component and a radiopaque element. The hydrogel is in a compressed, dehydrated state prior to deployment to facilitate placement of the marker within the biopsy site, and thereafter expands upon deployment in the biopsy site. Such expansion limits migration of the site marker.

  • Patent number: 12264563
    Abstract: A system can be used to recover hydrogen from a geological formation. The system can include a first flow control device and a second flow control device. The first flow control device can be positioned in a wellbore, which can be positioned in a geological formation, to control flow of a first material based on one or more first fluid properties of the first material. The second flow control device can be positioned in the wellbore offset from the first flow control device to control flow of a second material based on one or more second fluid properties of the second material. The second material can be different than the first material and can include hydrogen. The flow of the first material and the flow of the second material can be controlled in response to wellbore fluid being injected into the geological formation to enhance a hydrogen-producing reaction.

  • Patent number: 12266925
    Abstract: An electrical power network employing fault location, isolation and system restoration. The system includes a plurality of switching devices electrically coupled along a power line downstream of a fault interrupting device. The switching devices each have current and voltage sensing capability and the capability to provide pulse tests for detecting fault presence. The fault interrupting device performs reclosing operations, and when the plurality of switching devices detect fault presence a predetermined number of times in coordination with reclosing operations performed by the fault interrupting device and detect loss of voltage, each switching device opens. The fault interrupting device closes when the switching devices open, and the switching devices sequentially pulse test and close from a furthest upstream switching device when detecting return of voltage and no fault presence until a switching device closest to the fault pulse tests and detects fault presence and locks open.

  • Patent number: 12265690
    Abstract: A computer system displays a first view of a user interface of a first application with a first size at a first position corresponding to a location of at least a portion of a palm that is currently facing a viewpoint corresponding to a view of a three-dimensional environment provided via a display generation component. While displaying the first view, the computer system detects a first input that corresponds to a request to transfer display of the first application from the palm to a first surface that is within a first proximity of the viewpoint. In response to detecting the first input, the computer system displays a second view of the user interface of the first application with a second size and an orientation that corresponds to the first surface at a second position defined by the first surface.
