Patent №: 12081907 (September 3, 2024) – Electronic device with non-participant image blocking during video communication.

An electronic device and method avoid showing certain objects during a video call. The device captures baseline images of participants and the scene, then monitors for any new objects or non-participants. If detected, it sends a modified video stream to hide these elements.

Patent №: 12079639 (September 3, 2024) – Automatically changing device property values for a secondary user of a device. A device control system identifies the user as the owner, a trusted user, or an untrusted user. It adjusts device settings based on this identification. For the owner or a trusted user, it applies their specific settings. For an untrusted user, it switches to demonstration mode.

Patent №: 12079498 (September 3, 2024) – Allowing access to a partially replicated dataset.

A system allows access to a partially replicated dataset by exposing it for user operations before full replication. If a read request is made for an unavailable portion, the target storage system retrieves that portion.

Patent №: 12079333 (September 3, 2024) – Independent security threat detection and remediation by storage systems in a synchronous replication arrangement. A system includes multiple storage systems that synchronously replicate a dataset, continuously updating their copies. Each system independently monitors for security threats and takes action if a threat is detected.

Patent №: 12080179 (September 3, 2024) – Systems and methods to allocate unmanned aircraft systems.

The system includes a database of UAS identifiers and capabilities. An allocation control circuit matches a UAS to a customer’s task requirements and sends a request to the UAS provider to allocate the selected UAS for the task.

Patent №: 12076864 (September 3, 2024) – Distributed autonomous robot interfacing systems and methods. The automated fulfillment system described includes a computing system that receives requests for physical objects from various sources within a facility. The system groups these objects by type or location, then directs autonomous robots to retrieve and store them in containers.

Stanislaw Z Marczyk

Principal Engineer at Medtronic.

Patent №: 12076012 (September 3, 2024) – Multi-fire stapler with electronic counter, lockout, and visual indicator.

The adapter, which has an identification device, communicates its data to the controller. The loading unit, also with an identification device, sends its data to the controller. The controller adjusts the motor’s output based on the data from either the adapter or the loading unit.
