  • Publication number: 20240394411
    Abstract: Systems and methods for intelligent detection of sensitive data within a communication platform are disclosed. The system displays a communication interface for a communication platform. The communication interface includes a first input section for entering input messages by a sending user account and a display section for displaying message information received by the sending user account from other user accounts. The system determines a sensitive messaging profile for the sending user account. The system receives an input message associated with the sending user account. The system detects sensitive information in the input message by using a trained machine learning (ML) algorithm to analyze the input message based on the sensitive messaging profile. The system transmits the sensitive information to one or more receiving user accounts within a container component with an expiration time value based on at least the sensitive messaging profile.

  • Patent number: 12150760
    Abstract: An optical physiological sensor configured to perform high speed spectral sweep analysis of sample tissue being measured to non-invasively predict an analyte level of a patient. An emitter of the optical physiological sensor can be regulated to operate at different temperatures to emit radiation at different wavelengths. Variation in emitter drive current, duty cycle, and forward voltage can also be used to cause the emitter to emit a range of wavelengths. Informative spectral data can be obtained during the sweeping of specific wavelength regions of sample tissue.

  • Publication number: 20240388639
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes identifying a first request, from a first client device to a first micro-front-end (MFE) service of a MFE architecture, for loading a first child component associated with the first MFE service. The method further includes causing the first request for loading the first child component to be inspected by a predetermined proxy before being potentially fulfilled. The predetermined proxy is configured to inspect content and/or behavior of other MFE services of the architecture. A determination is made, based on results of the inspection of the first request by the predetermined proxy, whether fulfillment of the first request violates predetermined compatibility conditions associated with the other MFE services.
