  • Patent number: 11965853
    Abstract: An electrochemical sensor incorporates a ferrocenophane which is a compound with at least one bridging group covalently attached to and connecting the two cyclopentadiene rings associated with the same iron atom. This bridging group maybe tetramethylene. As compared to an equivalent sensor with ferrocene, the tolerance of elevated temperature is improved and so is the working life at ambient temperature.

  • Publication number: 20240070801
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus related to memory devices. In one approach, an artificial intelligence system uses a memory device to provide inference results. Image data from a camera is provided to the memory device. The memory device stores the image data received from the camera. The memory device includes dynamic random access memory (DRAM), and static random access memory (SRAM). The memory device also includes a processor to run a neural network. The neural network uses the image data as input. An output from the neural network provides an inference result. In one example, the memory device has a same form factor as a conventional DRAM device. The memory device includes a multiply-accumulate (MAC) engine that supports computations for the neural network.

  • Patent number: 11860879
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for modifying input and output (I/O) to an object storage service by implementing one or more owner-specified functions to I/O requests. A function can implement a data manipulation, such as filtering out sensitive data before reading or writing the data. The functions can be applied prior to implementing a request method (e.g., GET or PUT) specified within the I/O request, such that the data to which the method is applied may not match the object specified within the request. For example, a user may request to obtain (e.g., GET) a data set. The data set may be passed to a function that filters sensitive data to the data set, and the GET request method may then be applied to the output of the function. In this manner, owners of objects on an object storage service are provided with greater control of objects stored or retrieved from the service.

  • Patent number: 11720536
    Abstract: Systems and methods for data enrichment as a service are described herein. A service provider of a computing resource service provider may provide services for enriching data with additional data. The service provider may receive a set of enrichment parameters. The enrichment parameters may be used to determine whether data obtained by the service provider is eligible for enrichment. If data is eligible for enrichment, the data may be enriched according to the enrichment parameters, thereby generating enriched data. The enriched data may be stored in association with the data.

    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system according to which first and second waveguides are adapted to be connected to a pipe and first and second transducers are adapted to be connected to the first and second waveguides, respectively, and to exchange ultrasonic wave signals through the first and second waveguides, the pipe, and a fluid flowing in the pipe. A temperature of the fluid flowing in the pipe exceeds 600° C. The first and second waveguides are configured to, and each have a shape to: (i) insulate the first and second transducers from the pipe, and (ii) permit propagation of the ultrasonic wave signals between the pipe and the first and second transducers, respectively, while maintaining an acoustic attenuation through the first and second waveguides at an acceptable level.

  • Patent number: 11656892
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for modifying input and output (I/O) to an object storage service by implementing any combination of and any number of owner-specified functions and native functions. A function can implement a data manipulation. The functions can be applied prior to implementing a request method (e.g., GET, PUT, LIST, etc.) specified within the I/O request, such that the data to which the method is applied may not match the object specified within the request. For example, a user may request to obtain a data set. The data set may be passed to a native function that filters sensitive data to the data set, the output of the native function may be passed to an owner-specified function that redacts data from the filtered data set, and the request method may then be applied to the output of the owner-specified function.

  • Patent number: 11550944
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for modifying input and output (I/O) to an object storage service by implementing one or more owner-specified functions to I/O requests. Such functions can include data access control functions, data manipulation functions, and the like. The owner of an object collection maintained by the object storage service can specify code execution environment rules that can give privileges to the execution of such functions such as by allowing the functions to access external services or the requesting user's private resources. In this manner, owners of the object collection are provided with greater control over how the object collection is accessed.

  • Patent number: 11526502
    Abstract: A filter request for a data set indicates a query specification and one or more sub-range indicators of a disjoint subset descriptor. Corresponding the individual data records obtained from the data set using the query specification, a respective range mapping value is generated. Using the range mapping values and the sub-range indicators, a result set of the filter request is obtained.

  • Publication number: 20220296347
    Abstract: A toothbrush having one or more light sources with an electronic interlock control device preventing operation of the light source when the toothbrush is removed from the user's mouth. The electronic interlock control over operation is necessary to prevent accidental eye exposure to the high intensity light source with a wavelength in the range of about 400 nm to about 1000 nm. The light-emitting toothbrush activates upon entering the user's mouth but deactivates immediately when removed, thus protecting the user's eyes from direct exposure to the high power light source contained in the brush head.

  • Publication number: 20220273408
    Abstract: An electric toothbrush includes a handle with a motor and a light source located in a proximal end. A brush head is in a distal end of the toothbrush, and a drive shaft conveys kinetic energy from the motor to the brush head. The drive shaft includes a light guide from the light source to the distal end and contains two layers of an optical medium of differing refractive indices to enable TIR within the light guide. The brush has a tuft plate having bristles and is made of a polymer such that the water contact angle of the tuft plate is less than 90 degrees and is at least partially transparent. The handle and the tuft plate have electrical contacts to make a contact sensor and a movement sensor provides movement data. A computing device processes movement and contact data to determine when to activate the light.

  • Patent number: 11416628
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for modifying input and output (I/O) to an object storage service by implementing one or more owner-specified functions to I/O requests. Different data manipulation functions can be placed in different I/O paths depending on the request method or user access level. For example, a user having full access may be returned the unaltered version of the object, whereas a user having modified or reduced access may be returned a modified or redacted version of the object. In this manner, owners of the object collection are provided with greater control over how the object collection is accessed.
