  • Patent number: 11931271
    Abstract: A prosthetic foot includes a foot portion and a switching adapter. The switching adapter includes a first member coupled to the foot portion, a second member, a third member interposed between the first member and the second member, and a locking mechanism. The third member has a first side wall and a second side wall larger in length than the first side wall. The third member is configured to rotate relative to the first member and the second member towards a first position, thereby placing the prosthetic device in a walking mode. The third member is further configured to rotate relative to the first member and the second member towards a second position, thereby placing the prosthetic device in a running mode. The locking mechanism is configured to rotate with the third member in response to rotation of the third member.

  • Patent number: 11921824
    Abstract: Techniques are generally described for fusing sensor data of different modalities using a transformer. In various examples, first sensor data may be received from a first sensor and second sensor data may be received from a second sensor. A first feature representation of the first sensor data may be generated using a first machine learning model and a second feature representation of the second sensor data may be generated using a second machine learning model. In some examples, a modified first feature representation of the first sensor data may be generated based at least in part on a self-attention mechanism of a transformer encoder. The modified first feature representation may be generated based at least in part on the first feature representation and the second feature representation. A computer vision task may be performed using the modified first feature representation.

  • Patent number: 11905413
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device assembly and methods useful for producing molded silicone rubber products from liquid silicone rubber compositions (“LSR”) via injection molding. The methods provide a flexible process to produce faster cured silicone rubber products from LSR and allow for use of low curing temperature in the molding cavities without drastically lowering cure speed of the LSR and the physical properties of the produced molded silicone rubber material, therefore allowing liquid silicone rubber overmolding on or over heat sensitive substrates. The device assembly of the invention allows a faster cycle and the use of precise dosing and mixing units thus creating a flexible process to produce cured silicone rubber products faster from liquid silicone rubber (LSR).

  • Patent number: 11888997
    Abstract: A computing resource service provider provides a certificate management service that allows customers of the computing resource service provider to create, distribute, manage, and revoke digital certificates issued by public and/or private certificate authorities. In an embodiment, customers may use the certificate management service to generate private certificate authority which can issue signed certificates to network entities within the customer enterprise. In an embodiment, the private certificate authority is hosted by the computing resource service provider, and the certificate management service automates the renewal and management of active certificates. In an embodiment, the certificate management service allows customer applications to create, renew, and revoke certificates issued by both private and public certificate authorities via an application programming interface.

  • Patent number: 11829794
    Abstract: A vendor of virtual machine images accesses a virtual computer system service to upload a digitally signed virtual machine image to a data store usable by customers of the virtual computer system service to select an image for creating a virtual machine instance. If a digital certificate is uploaded along with the virtual machine image, the virtual computer system service may determine whether the digital certificate has been trusted for use. If the digital certificate has been trusted for use, the virtual computer system service may use a public cryptographic key to decrypt a hash signature included with the image to obtain a first hash value. The service may additionally apply a hash function to the image itself to obtain a second hash value. If the two hash values match, then the virtual machine image may be deemed to be authentic.

  • Publication number: 20230360745
    Abstract: A system and related method exchange medical information with a medical management system. The method comprises receiving, using a processor of a code point resolver, from the medical management system, medical text via a network interface. A code point is a single standardized medical terminology code (SMTC) that corresponds to a medical concept contained within the medical text. The method further applies rule-based logic to process the medical text to form a localized mapping of a text portion of the medical text to a plurality of candidate SMTCs (CSMTCs) that are related to at least one metathesaurus concept entity (MCE) in a metathesaurus, and to determines the code point from the CSMTCs. The method transmits, via the network interface, to the medical management system, the code point.

  • Patent number: 11563590
    Abstract: A computing resource service provider provides a certificate management service that allows customers of the computing resource service provider to create, distribute, manage, and revoke digital certificates issued by public and/or private certificate authorities. In an embodiment, when a new certificate is generated, a certificate template is used to apply various settings and policies for the new certificate. In various examples, templates may be used to establish default values, enforce required and optional values, place restrictions on one or more data fields, and enforce signature requirements. In some embodiments, the template establishes rules for rejecting certificate requests that don't conform to the template.
