  • Patent number: 12587366
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a method for content transmission using a cryptographic signature. The method includes: generating, by a neural network model employing a plurality of state parameters and implemented on one or more processors, an output content; generating a string of Hash values based on the output content; creating a cryptographic signature by encrypting the string of Hash values and one or more state parameters of the neural network model using a private key; embedding the cryptographic signature in the output content; and transmitting, via a communication interface, the output content embedded with the cryptographic signature to a destination server.

  • Publication number: 20260027375
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for a patient's brain based on determining an optimal individualized current amplitude for a patient by (1) dividing an optimal E-field strength (optimal Ebrain) by a baseline E-field strength (baseline Ebrain) of the patient's brain, or (2) performing an initial treatment to determine a patient's amplitude titrated seizure threshold (STa), followed by use of a multiplier value multiplied by the STa for an individualized amplitude for subsequent treatments. Methods of ECT using optimal individualized current amplitude provide an antidepressant effect and reduce adverse cognitive effects on the patient's brain.

  • Patent number: 12520937
    Abstract: An exemplary storage system generally includes a least one back channel mountable along a support surface (e.g., a back wall of a closet, etc.). At least one wall or panel of the storage system is mountable (e.g., via a connector, etc.) along the back channel. The storage system may also generally include one or more of a hang rod, side bracket, shelf trim, end cup, support bracket, and/or shelf. The shelf may be supportable by the back channel, a pair of side brackets, and at least one support bracket. The side brackets may be mountable along sidewalls of the closet and/or to the at least one wall or the storage system that is mountable along the back channel. The hang rod may supportable beneath the shelf when first and second end portions of the hang rod are supported by respective first and second end cups.

  • Patent number: 12260434
    Abstract: Apparatus and method for a scalable pricing engine. A scalable pricing engine is operable in a low-scale mode and a high-scale or scalable mode to process pricing data in response to pricing requests. The pricing engine operates in a first runtime environment in the low-scale mode in which it can service pricing requests up to a threshold number and in which the pricing data can be updated and tested. The pricing engine also operates in a second runtime environment which is a scalable runtime supporting pricing requests above the specified threshold. The scalable runtime and pricing engine rely on a scalable read-only data service which distributes a read-only copy of at least a portion of the pricing data from the primary database, a high-scale cache to reduce access latency, data processing and network resource allocations, and data reduction techniques when processing requests and responses.
