Aluminum Gallium Water Hydrogen Fuel Cell System

The following public disclosure outlines an energy system that can be applied either to moving vehicles such as electric bicycles, automobiles, trains, planes etc, or stationary applications such as large scale batteries used to store electricity from renewable sources until it is required by the grid. The system is composed of the following parts: A storage container for aluminum, A storage container for water, a storage container for gallium, a reaction chamber, a recycling chamber, A fuel cell, and a rechargeable battery. In short, aluminum, water, and gallium is mixed into the reaction chamber. The gallium erodes the thin oxide layer on the surface of the aluminum, allowing for it to react with water to form aluminum oxide and hydrogen gas. The resultant hydrogen gas is directed to a fuel cell where it produces electricity and water. The electricity generated is directed either to a rechargeable battery such as a lithium ion battery, or used immediately. The water generated can then either be discarded or recycled back into the storage container containing water. The aluminum oxide and gallium solution that is leftover from the reaction is then directed to a recycling chamber where the gallium is separated from the aluminum oxide and reintroduced into the container for gallium. The aluminum oxide can either be discarded or directed to a separate container that holds the aluminum oxide for later reprocessing into aluminum

Recreating Photos from Text Descriptions Using Generative Artificial Intelligence

When on trips, users often take near duplicate photos at the same place. Multiple photos with little variation among them can consume a large amount of the limited storage space on the user device and/or cloud storage services where users may choose to store their photos. Retaining only a few of the photos can reduce storage use but makes the photos permanently unavailable. This disclosure describes techniques that enable users to recreate close approximations of discarded photos from corresponding text descriptions. A suitable image-to-text conversion model is applied to photos prior to discarding the photos and the generated text description is stored. The text description, context, and any related photos are used to prompt a suitable image generation Artificial Intelligence (AI) model to recreate the photo. The techniques can additionally support generating variations of photos that did not originally exist. The accuracy, faithfulness, and fidelity of the generated photo can be improved with prompts that contain more detail as well as context from other related photos

UNIVERSAL STATUS LIGHT

Typically, hardware devices, such as networking devices, include status indicators that display the status of ports and other elements related to the device. Each status indicator includes a status light that is carried by a plastic tube or pipe. Large amounts of plastic are typically involved in the manufacture of port status plastic tubes for networking devices worldwide. Techniques described herein provide for a universal status light that can be provided for networking devices in which the universal status light provides for merging port status indicators and general status indicators into a single status indicator, which may help to reduce plastic consumption and CO2 emissions

A liquid pump that self-limits and detects output pressure

In this disclosure, we describe a device that pumps fluid from an inlet to an outlet while regulating the maximum pressure on the outlet of the device. When the regulation pressure is achieved, the device can detect this and send an electric signal to a control

VISA CLOUD CONNECT

The present disclosure relates to a technique for providing payment processing infrastructure connectivity to cloud-based clients. The technique recites maintaining a virtual datacenter by the client at virtual private cloud hosted by a public cloud provider and a payment processor’s cloud connect is provided by payment processor enabling cloud-based clients to access its network infrastructure. The technique involves transmitting data from client VPC to payment processor’sVPC which in turn further transmits it to payment processor’s point of presence (PoP). The EA servers located at the payment processor’s PoP are accessed by the client via secure private link, eliminating the need for them to have their own hardware datacenters and further connecting payment processor’s PoPs with payment processing system to provide seamless connectivity between the cloud-based clients and payment processing system

Using remote logging during Zero Touch Provisioning of a network element over IPv6

The present disclosure relates to Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) of a network element over IPv6. ZTP is a method for a network element (NE) to fetch provisioning and configure itself when it boots up very first time. The NE automatically restarts the ZTP process when it encounters errors that cannot complete the provisioning. Therefore, it is important to have a mechanism to report errors back to the user. In IPv6, the ZTP adopts DHCPv6 protocol. However, the DHCPv6 protocol does not define a specific option for the user to specify a log server that errors can be reported back. The present disclosure addresses this issue

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDEEMING ISSUER REWARD CURRENCY FOR A CONSUMER BENEFIT SUPPLEMENT

The present disclosure provides a method for redeeming issuer reward currency. Initially consumer books travel and logs into issuer application. The present disclosure calls Card Eligibility Service (CES) by sending cardholder travel information to check for eligible lounges. The CES pulls all lounges in airport and checks if cardholder is eligible for any of the lounges. The CES returns the cardholder list of lounges eligibility information and redemption limits and prices. The present disclosure offers to purchase additional guests for the lounge using points. The present disclosure calls CES and Pay with Points APIs to purchase additional guest access using points for the lounge. A payment processing system will provide CES and Pay with Points APIs for clients, to redeem points and purchase lounge access or other benefits in advance. The CES new API calls Pay with Points to deduct points. The CES updates the redemption ledger, to add additional purchased guests

Viewing posture assistance controlled by earphones sensor for self-adjustable display product

According to online poll from the All About Vision eye health website, remote workers spent roughly 6 hours and 43 minutes, 6 hours and 11 minutes for on-site peers in their workday. Staring at the screen within a bad position too long could really be harmful for our neck, back and shoulders. To prevent slouch and other body pain, we provide a self-adjustable display controlled by wearable device. This innovation idea combines display with electrical motor bracket and wearable device

Augmenting Large Language Models with Audio Generation Capabilities

Chatbots or conversational agent interfaces utilize large language models (LLMs) to provide text responses to user queries. However, such chatbots are not capable of receiving audio input and providing generated audio as a response. This disclosure describes techniques to augment a LLM with an interface to an audio generation model. The LLM is fine-tuned to train it to leverage an API to access the audio generation model when input queries request query response in audio form. The trained LLM performs reasoning tasks and generates prompts for the audio generation model. The user-provided audio input and the LLM-generated prompts are fed to the audio generation model which generates audio. The output audio is analyzed to determine attributes as textual description. The LLM can perform multiple rounds of reasoning, prompt generation, and calling the audio generation model based on previously generated audio and associated textual descriptions. The ultimate audio output as generated by the audio generation model is provided as a response to the user query

CASH AT E-COMMERCE: METHOD FOR DISBURSING CASH TO A CARDHOLDER USING AN E-COMMERCE PLATFORM

The present disclosure relates to a method for disbursing cash to a cardholder using an e-commerce platform. The present disclosure discloses a method of provisioning a user to initiate a transaction by ordering a product or service using an eCommerce application or a website. The user can also request an additional cashback amount along with the ordered product/service during the transaction. After successful authentication of the request, the ordered product/service and the requested cashback amount (i.e., the cash) are delivered to the user
