  • Publication number: 20250147924
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a file system that include object stores. An object store for write requests may be provided. Write ahead log (WAL) entries that include data blocks may be generated. A WAL object may be generated based on the WAL entries and stored in the object store. An in-memory overlay may be updated to associate the data blocks with the WAL object. A checkpoint operation may be executed to: generate an index object that includes index entries that associate other data blocks with data objects stored in the object store; update the index object to include index entries that associate the data blocks with the WAL object; store the updated index object in the object store; update the in-memory overlay to remove the association of the data blocks and the WAL object and update the in memory WAL to remove records of successfully checkpointed WAL objects.

  • Publication number: 20250150459
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for parental controls based on the location of a wireless computing device. Wireless access points may be located in different locations, e.g., in different rooms of a home. The location of the wireless computing device may be determined based on comparing measured signal strengths to baseline signal strengths associated with the location. Information related to an access level associated with the location may be determined. The access level may, for example, permit access to content in a first location, but prevent access to the content in a second location. Content may be provided to the wireless computing device based on the access level associated with the location.

  • Patent number: 12291482
    Abstract: In the manufacture of a quantum cell, multi-finger jigs are used to hold precision masks flat during a photolithographic procedure and or to apply force uniformly over a bonding area during an anodic or other direct bonding procedure. The fingers of a jig are flexible that they can bend sufficiently independently of each other that one finger can accommodate a non-uniformity of a surface to be contacted by the jig so that other fingers remain in contact with other areas of the surface. The fingers can be defined by slits orthogonal to a perimeter of the jig.

  • Patent number: 12290464
    Abstract: The arm brace supports an injured arm during rehabilitation. The arm brace has a wrap member, an arm support member, and an arm sleeve member. The wrap member is secured around a hip and a thigh of a user. The arm support member is secured to a side of the wrap member with couplings including V straps. This configuration provides a platform structure that supports the arm sleeve that partially surrounds and protects the forearm. The arm brace does not require a shoulder strap, a neck strap for support and any other upper body supports. The brace provides a stable support structure that immobilizes the arm regardless of the position of the patient. The hand extends out from a front end of the brace so the user can perform activities such as eating, typing, and grasping.
