  • Patent number: 12341813
    Abstract: A system for detecting phishing websites accesses a website that comprises a plurality of images. The system extracts the plurality of images from the website. The system generates a hash value for each image from the plurality of images. Each hash value uniquely identifies its corresponding image. The system generates a first overall hash value for the website by hashing the generated hash values. The first overall hash value represents a signature of the website. The system compares the first overall hash value with a second overall hash value that is associated with a phishing website. The system determines whether the first overall hash value corresponds to the second overall hash value. If it is determined that the first overall hash value corresponds to the second overall hash value, the system determines that the website is associated with the phishing website.

  • Publication number: 20250200642
    Abstract: A computer implemented method comprises transmitting a request for stock information to one or more vendors of articles for an aerosol provision system in response to determining that an article for the aerosol provision system needs to be replaced. An order for one or more articles is determined based on the stock information received from the one or more vendors. The order comprises a selection of one of the one or more vendors, a number of articles to be purchased and a time for placing the order. The time for placing the order is calculated based on a lead time for delivering the number of the articles derived from the received stock information. The order is transmitted to the selected vendor at the time for placing the order.

  • Publication number: 20250195036
    Abstract: A system and method for generating an ultrasound device interaction indicator representative of at least an orientation of an ultrasound device (230) relative to a subject (210). An acoustically translucent standoff layer (240) is positioned between the ultrasound device and the subject. Ultrasound echoes received by the ultrasound device, including ultrasound echoes from the standoff layer, are processed to determine a deformation of the standoff layer caused by an axial force or pressure exerted by the ultrasound device. The deformation of the standoff layer is used, along with characteristics of the standoff layer, to generate the ultrasound device interaction indicator.

  • Patent number: 12332189
    Abstract: An x-ray inspection system comprising an x-ray source, an x-ray detector, a sample support comprising a pliable material and a sample support positioning assembly configured to position the sample support between the x-ray source and the x-ray detector. The sample support is configured to removably clamp a sample for inspection in a fixed position with respect to the sample support and configured so that, in use, at least one surface of the sample is in contact with the pliable material. The sample support positioning assembly comprises a rotational drive configured to rotate the sample support about a rotational axis. This allows the sample to be rotated about a rotational axis such that a series of two-dimensional images can be captured by the x-ray detector that can be used to create a three-dimensional reconstruction of the sample.

  • Publication number: 20250158942
    Abstract: Techniques for triggering a transfer of a chat conversation with a user from a chatbot to a human agent based on detection of transfer criteria are disclosed. The chatbot uses natural language processing and a generative model to collect and organize information from the chat conversation to present to the human agent in a report when the chat conversation is transferred to the human agent. The chat conversation is transferred to the human agent by presenting the report and a graphical chat interface to the human agent. The graphical chat interface displays messages from chat conversation between the human agent and the user and displays messages from chat conversations between the human agent and multiple other users. Transferring the chat conversation from the chatbot to the human agent includes presenting interface elements to the human agent for receiving user input from the human agent for transmission to the user.
