  • Publication number: 20240161716
    Abstract: Systems and methods permit or cause content to be displayed by a plurality of gaming displays, such as gaming machine displays and/or external displays. Content may be synchronously displayed by multiple gaming displays, such as one or more EGM displays and one or more external gaming displays, where the content which is displayed by the different displays may be the same or be different, and may be provided by a content controller and/or may be provided or triggered by a gaming machine. The systems and methods permit or cause content to be synchronously displayed across multiple gaming displays, such as in time and/or space. In some examples, the content is configured as a content “package” which is associated with one or more displays.

  • Publication number: 20240161529
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that generate a digital document hierarchy comprising layers of parent-child element relationships from the visual elements. For example, for a layer of the layers, the disclosed systems determine, from the visual elements, candidate parent visual elements and child visual elements. In addition, for the layer of the layers, the disclosed systems generate, from the feature embeddings utilizing a neural network, element classifications for the candidate parent visual elements and parent-child element link probabilities for the candidate parent visual elements and the child visual elements. Moreover, for the layer, the disclosed systems select parent visual elements from the candidate parent visual elements based on the parent-child element link probabilities. Further, the disclosed systems utilize the digital document hierarchy to generate an interactive digital document from the digital document image.

  • Publication number: 20240163805
    Abstract: During an uplink TDD slot, an UL UE transmits an UL signal that occupies a slot frequency range. Similarly, during a DL TDD slot, a DL UE receives a DL signal that occupies the slot frequency range. But during an SBFD slot, a UL UE transmits a UL signal that occupies only a first sub-band of the slot frequency range. Similarly, a DL UE receives a DL signal during an SBFD slot that occupies only a second sub-band of the slot frequency range. The second sub-band is distinct from the first sub-band. The DL UE may thus mitigate UE-to-UE interference during an SBFD slot by filtering the DL signal to substantially block the second sub-band from being received at the DL UE.

  • Patent number: 11984717
    Abstract: A protective circuit can include an AC line configured to provide power from an AC source, and a first protection circuit coupled to the AC line and implemented to be electrically parallel with a load circuit. The first protection circuit can be configured to be in an inactive state to be substantially non-conducting when a voltage across the load circuit is in a normal range or an active state to be substantially conducting when the voltage across the load circuit has an overvoltage value greater than the normal range to shunt power away from the load circuit. The protective circuit can further include a second protection circuit implemented to be electrically between the AC source and the load circuit. The second protection circuit can be configured to block power from the AC source in response to a condition resulting from the first protection circuit being in the active state.

  • Patent number: 11980541
    Abstract: Cartridges configured to hold anchors and associated locking sutures and a common suture used in an array of anchors. A suture anchor array is connected in series by a single working suture and each of the suture anchors allows tensioning of the working suture between itself and the prior anchor implanted in the serial string. Further, each anchor includes a suture lock having a free tail that can be pulled to lock the working suture in place subsequent to tensioning. This creates an independently tensioned suture bridge between each implanted suture anchor and the just previously implanted anchor. The cartridges are configured to securely hold an individual anchor and store the tail of the suture lock, while allowing flossing of anchors along the common suture.

  • Patent number: 11985001
    Abstract: The disclosure herein describes a system for calculating meeting inclusion metrics including insights and recommendations. Meeting data associated with one or more meetings attended by at least one participant remotely is converted into anonymized meeting data for inclusivity metric analysis. An inclusivity insights manager generates inclusivity metrics associated with inclusive behavior and language occurring during meetings to measure the level of inclusivity. The inclusivity metrics include attendee participation metrics measuring an amount of participation by each meeting attendee, participation in-person versus participation remotely, concurrent speech indicating attendees may be talking over one another or other interruptions occurring during meetings. Inclusivity metric data includes insights and actionable recommendations to improve inclusivity at future meetings provided at an individual level, group level or organizational level.

  • Patent number: 11985425
    Abstract: A video may be captured by an image capture device in motion. A stabilized view of the video may be generated by providing a punchout of the video. The punchout of the video may compensate for rotation of the image capture device during capture of the video. The size of the punchout of the video may be changed based on different rotational positions of to provide a view that includes different extents of the captured visual content. The changes in the size of the punchout may simulate changes in zoom of the visual content.

  • Publication number: 20240152931
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to secure documents that are capable of being in an activated or deactivated state. When in the activated state, the document may be redeemable; when in the deactivated state, the document may not be redeemable. The document may be issued in the deactivated state and may require activation before being used. In order to activate the document, a user may log into an account associated with the document and scan a code printed on or embedded in the document. Using their account, the user may issue an activation command. This activation process ensures that, at the time the document is transferred, it is either in the presence of the user or the user is aware of the location of the document, and that the user wishes to authorize the transfer. Thus, even if the document is stolen or misplaced, it cannot be used without the requisite authorization.
