Transformer Energization With Low Inrush Current
Patent No. 12776643
Systems and methods for reducing inrush current to energize a transformer from a first power source or second power source using a transfer switch device including monitoring input phase voltage at a first and second switching pair, sending a first set of gate signals to the first switching pair and second set of gate signals to the second switching pair to selectively couple the transformer to the first power source or second power source, and operating the first switching pair and second switching pair in a normal operating mode at a next cycle once transformer flux reaches a saturation point. The transfer switch device includes a first switch and second switch connected to the first power source and second power source, respectively, and each switch including the first switching pair and second switching pair connected in a reverse orientation to enable a bi-directional flow of current at each phase.

Predictive Remediation Action System
Patent No. 12777051
Aspects described herein may use machine learning models to predict one or more remediation actions to mitigate occurrence of an incident based upon previous incidents of an entity. A relationship between the compiled ownership data and development operations tools metric data and an occurrence of previous incidents is determined. A machine learning model predicts relationships between the occurrence of a previous incident and assets data. One or more remediation actions are assigned to an asset and a notification is outputted regarding the same.

Systems And Methods For Executing And Hashing Modeling Flows
Patent No. 12775605
The disclosed systems and methods can comprise executing a modeling sequence comprising a first model and a second model, obtaining a first result from the first model being used as an input for the second model to obtain a second result, hashing data representative of a first configuration and a second configuration to create a first hash and a second hash, respectively, storing the first result in a first location and the second result in a second location, receiving one or more configuration changes to the second model thereby creating a third configuration associated with the second model, hashing data representative of the third configuration to create a third hash, receiving a request to rerun the modeling sequence, determining that the first configuration is associated with the first model, and providing the first result to the second model without rerunning the first model.

Vaping Device And Method For Aerosol-generation
Patent No. 12773711
A smoking device for aerosol-generation may comprise a device housing, a surface acoustic wave-atomizer (SAW-atomizer), a supply element, and a control system. The device housing may include a storage portion for an aerosol-forming substrate. The SAW-atomizer may include an atomization region, a first transducer, and/or a second transducer. The first transducer is configured to generate first surface acoustic waves that propagate along a surface of the SAW-atomizer. The supply element is arranged to supply the aerosol-forming substrate from the storage portion to the atomization region of the SAW-atomizer. The control system is configured to operate the SAW-atomizer to atomize the aerosol-forming substrate in the atomization region to generate an aerosol. A cartridge for such a smoking device and a method for generating an aerosol in a smoking system are also provided.

Efficient Anomaly Detection For High Volume Operations
Patent No. 12775597
A method and related system for reducing computational cost when applying anomaly detection during high volume transaction processes includes detecting event motifs based on a shared occurrence of the event motifs across historical event sequences, grouping the event motifs based on the set of failures into at least a first motif dictionary associated with a first category and a second motif dictionary associated with a second category. The method further includes performing a search on an event sequence for a record based on the first motif dictionary and the second motif dictionary to determine a motif profile and selecting the first category based on the motif profile. The method further includes determining whether a set of values of the record satisfy a set of failure criteria associated with the first category and, if so, modifying the record based on an action mapped to the first category.

Browser Extension To Detect Cloud Uploads
Patent No. 12775728
Disclosed embodiments pertain to protecting sensitive information in an electronic file moving between a web browser and a cloud. A web browser extension associated with a web browser can detect a connection to a cloud service and monitor an electronic file designated by a user to be transferred between the cloud service and the web browser. The browser extension can subsequently detect that the electronic file includes sensitive information and activate a security action to detect the sensitive information. The security action can include, among other things, blocking the transfer, quarantining the file, or requesting the sensitive information be removed or obfuscated.
