Techniques For Providing Asynchronous Reliable Transmission Protocol For Application-To-Application Communication, Ashish Kumar Khatri Mr., Preet Nepolean Dabre Mr.

Defensive Publications Series

Techniques are disclosed for providing asynchronous reliable transmission (ART) protocol for Application-to-Application messages. A communication protocol is designed to support communication between two devices asynchronously over channels that have limitations to facilitate asynchronous communication and have limited bandwidth. The ART protocol solves communication challenges that arise when transmitting data over channels with such limitations. The ART protocol has the provision to expand for future use cases such as encryption. Further, the ART Protocol provides mechanisms for data packet fragmentation, allowing larger packets to be transmitted over channels with limited bandwidth.

Training Artificial Intelligence Agents To Compress Web Page Actions Into Url Rewrites, Duc-Hieu Tran, Florian Hartmann

Defensive Publications Series

Computer-control agents are artificial intelligence (AI) tools that automatically perform user-defined tasks over the user interface (UI) of a computer. UI-control-based agents can be slow because they involve the agent interacting with the web page via elementary actions such as clicks and text-fills, waiting for web-page loads, and processing the web-page state and calling the AI model to predict the next elementary action(s), all of which introduce delays. This disclosure describes techniques that improve the efficiency of task performance via computer-control agents by training the agents to bundle multiple web interactions into a single, compact web-service interaction via uniform resource …

Automated Root Cause Analysis For Integration Test Failures Using Consecutive Failing Run Comparisons And Phase-Aware Differencing Using A Large Language Model, Shubham Khurana, Babu Prasad Elumalai

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure describes techniques to improve automated root cause analysis (RCA) for integration test failures, especially in iterative debugging. A multi-step artificial intelligence (AI) pipeline is employed to dynamically select the appropriate baseline for log comparison—either the last passing run (LPR) for initial failures or the previous failing run (PFR) for subsequent failures—to reduce semantic noise. A large language model (LLM) performs phase-aware semantic differencing, segmenting logs into execution phases (e.g., setup, data seeding, service under test execution, assertion, teardown) and comparing corresponding phases. This targeted approach allows the LLM to identify critical differences and new errors more accurately by …

Cumulative Uv-Responsive Coating For Structural Degradation Monitoring, Joseph Jm Walker

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure presents a coating technology incorporating irreversible photochromic pigments microencapsulated within polymer shells and dispersed in industrial binder matrices (acrylics, epoxies, polyurethanes, vinyls). Upon cumulative ultraviolet (UV) exposure, the encapsulated pigments undergo non-reversible molecular rearrangements, producing a permanent hue shift. The pigment system is tuned to absorb predominantly in the UVB (280–315 nm) and near-UVA (315–340 nm) spectral bands, which are most strongly correlated with photodegradation of polymers.

Encapsulation (2–5 μm capsules) provides environmental stability against oxygen, humidity, and thermal cycling, ensuring reproducible performance across climates. The coatings are applied as thin topcoats (≈50 μm dry film …

Chulalongkorn Medical Journal

Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), with a global incidence of 1–2 cases per 100,000 population annually, remains the most common cause of acute flaccid paralysis. Standard treatment includes plasma exchange within 4 weeks or intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) within 2 weeks of symptom onset. However, IVIg may still benefit selected late-presenting cases. Here, we report a case a 17-year-old male presented with progressive bilateral limb weakness and paresthesia that began approximately 3 weeks before admission. He also experienced a brief syncope episode and defecation syncope, indicating possible autonomic involvement. On hospital day 3, after shared decision-making, the family opted for IVIg over plasma …

A Rare Variation In The Branching Pattern Of The Axillary Artery, Preethi Umanath, Sutha Selvaraj

Chulalongkorn Medical Journal

ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND: This study aims to elucidate a previously unreported rare variation in the branching pattern of the third part of the axillary artery.

Results and discussion: During the routine dissection of a male cadaver, it was observed that the third part branches of the left axillary artery, specifically the anterior and posterior circumflex humeral arteries, were completely absent. To compensate for the missing branches, an unusual ascending branch emerged from the arteria profunda brachii (a branch of the brachial artery). This branch later divided into two: the deltoid branch, which accompanied the axillary nerve, entered in to …
