  • Direct bottomed article of footwear with a film mold
    Patent number: 12262781
    Abstract: An article of footwear has an upper that is directly attached with the sole in an article of footwear mold. The sole has a film extending up sidewalls of the sole to a film edge that is prior to the sidewall and the upper joining. Method of manufacture of the article of footwear includes steps of positioning a film over a mold cavity and then securing the film to the mold. The film is heated and then drawn into the mold cavity under a vacuum. The film forms a liner of the mold cavity. A foam composition is injected into the lined mold cavity. As the foam composition expands, the foam composition interacts with and mechanically engages with the upper that is positioned at the mold cavity to allow for the mechanical engagement that results in the direct attachment of the sole to the upper.

  • Temperature-compensated time estimate for a block to reach a uniform charge loss state
    Patent number: 12266420
    Abstract: A processing device in a memory sub-system monitors a temperature associated with a block of a memory device, the block comprising a plurality of wordlines. The processing device further determines a first amount of time between when memory cells associated with a first wordline of the plurality of wordlines of the block were written and when memory cells associated with a last wordline of the plurality of wordlines of the block were written. That first amount of time is normalized according to the temperature associated with the block. The processing device further determines, based at last in part on the first amount of time and on an associated scaling factor, an estimate of when the block will reach a uniform charge loss state.

  • Network traffic correlation engine
    Patent number: 12267348
    Abstract: A network traffic correlation engine monitors inbound and/or outbound connection information received from on each host computer system on a network. Each host device on the network store data logs corresponding to information corresponding to communications sent by the device and received by the device. The network traffic correlation engine correlates connections between different hosts throughout the network. If the network traffic correlation engine identified unmatched outbound and inbound connections, the network traffic correlation engine generates an alert to initiate further investigation and may also provide a mapping of the communications showing a possible start device for the connection and/or a type of access that the connections may now be providing.
