  • Patent number: 12242482
    Abstract: The disclosed technology is generally directed to graph queries with reduced latencies. In one example of the technology, there is a cross-tenancy collaboration between two different tenancies: a first tenancy that is homed in a first geographical region and a second tenancy that is homed in a second geographical region. In the first geographical region, a first set of graph data is stored. The first set of the graph data is associated with the first tenancy. A portion of the first set of the graph data to be copied from the first geographical region to the second geographical region is determined. In response to determining the portion of the first set of the graph data, a copy of the portion of the first set of the graph data is stored in the second geographical region.

  • Publication number: 20240325683
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to devices and methods that efficiently and safely kill pathogens in blood functions by the generation of metal ions in situ. Such metal ions include silver ions, copper ions, and gold ions; however, additional metals can be employed for generation of ions in situ, including platinum, iridium, and zinc. The activity of the devices and methods of the present invention is extremely broad, and can kill pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The activity of the devices and methods of the present invention does not depend on specific interactions between the device and the surface of the pathogen being killed. Additionally, the activity of the devices and methods is not subject to the development of resistance by the pathogen, such as can occur subsequent to the administration of conventional antibacterial, antifungal, or antiviral agents.

  • Publication number: 20240299739
    Abstract: A device for killing blood-borne pathogens, and a method of using the device to effectively remove the blood-borne pathogens from a body of a human or an animal is claimed. The device comprises a wire that is inserted into a bloodstream of a patient, which releases metallic ions which effectively kill the pathogens. There are several embodiments, each of which has a combination of covered and uncovered portions of the wire. The wire is electrically connected to both a source of power and a power supply with printed circuit board or controller/software, which controls the intensity and duration of the treatment.
