  • Publication number: 20250112797
    Abstract: Various aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for implementing consensus protocols comprising separate preference selection and decision detection mechanisms to enhance the protocol. Various aspects may include executing a first mechanism configured to determine a preference, from one or more choices, for nodes in a blockchain network based on a first threshold value of the nodes agreeing on a selection of one of the choices. Aspects may also include executing a second mechanism configured to detect the blockchain network has decided on the selection based on a probabilistic analysis of node preferences and finalize a consensus decision of the blockchain network based on the node preferences.

  • Publication number: 20250111695
    Abstract: In implementation of techniques for template-based behaviors in machine learning, a computing device implements a template system to receive a digital video and data executable to generate animated content. The template system determines a location within a frame of the digital video to place the animated content using a machine learning model. The template system then renders the animated content within the frame of the digital video at the location determined by the machine learning model. The template system then displays the rendered animated content within the frame of the digital video in a user interface.

  • Publication number: 20250110980
    Abstract: A method performed by a computing device includes generating a neural network representation of a subjective query and generating a query entigen group as a symbolic architecture representation of the subjective query. The method further includes identifying one or more characteristic entigen categories for a subjective category entigen of the query entigen group. The method further includes generating a symbolic architecture representation of a query response for the subjective query that includes a set of response entigens based on the one or more characteristic entigen categories. The set of response entigens provides an answer for the subjective query.

  • 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: 12267428
    Abstract: A mobile device performs authentication with blinded tokens and swaps its international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) value. For authentication with blinded tokens, the mobile device generates a blinded token and provides it to a server to encrypt. To redeem the token, the mobile device unblinds the encrypted blinded token and provides it to the server along with a public key. To complete authentication, the mobile device receives, from the server, a nonce encrypted with the public key and decrypts the nonce with a private key. For swapping its IMSI value, the mobile device retrieves two eSIM profiles with corresponding IMSI values and configures the first of the two profiles as active. In response to a trigger, the mobile device changes the active profile from the first to the second, swaps the first IMSI value with a new IMSI value, and changes the active profile back to the first profile.

  • Patent number: 12266279
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, devices, subsystems, and systems for holographically displaying three-dimensional objects are provided. In one aspect, a device includes: an optical guiding device configured to guide light to propagate along a first direction within the optical guiding device, an in-coupling diffractive structure configured to diffract the light to propagate in the optical guiding device, and one or more out-coupling diffractive structures arranged downstream the in-coupling diffractive structure along the first direction and configured to diffract at least part of the light out of the optical guiding device along a second, different direction. The in-coupling diffractive structure is configured to cause a first optical dispersion for the light, and at least one out-coupling diffractive structure is configured to cause a second optical dispersion for the light.
