  • Patent number: 11803516
    Abstract: A client computer includes a synchronization manager. The synchronization manager communicates with a remote content management system to determine a set of objects in a content navigation hierarchy. The synchronization manager provides a user interface with controls to allow a user to independently select multiple objects in the content navigation hierarchy for synchronization and receives an input, via the interface, that selects objects from the set of objects for synchronization. The synchronization manager stores local peers of the selected objects in a local cache in a local file system. The synchronization manager synchronizes changes to the selected objects at the content management system to the local peers in the file system.

  • Patent number: 11785200
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed providing a stage studio for immersive 3-D video capture. A two-dimensional video of a scene may be captured with frame cameras oriented towards a center of the scene. Paths may be scanned across objects in the scene with signal beams oriented towards the center of the scene. Events may be generated based on signal beams that are reflected by the objects and detected by event cameras oriented towards the center of the scene. Trajectories may be generated based on the paths and the events. A scene that includes a representation of the objects based on the captured two-dimensional video and the trajectories may be generated such that a position and an orientation of the represented objects in the scene are based on the trajectories.

  • Publication number: 20230315690
    Abstract: One embodiment of a system comprises a client device and a remote content management system. The client device comprises a synchronization manager that maintains a remote virtual model that models a synchronization state of a remote peer resource at the content management system and a local virtual model that models a synchronization state of a local peer resource in the local file system. The synchronization manager determines that the remote peer resource and local peer resource are out of sync based on a comparison of the remote virtual model and the local virtual model and synchronizes changes from the local cache to the content management system to update the remote peer resource or synchronizes changes from the content management system to update the local peer resource.

  • Patent number: 11765687
    Abstract: A method of communicating data between a radio network infrastructure and a terminal device in a wireless telecommunications network. The method comprises establishing at a radio network infrastructure element there is data available for communication between the radio network infrastructure and the terminal device and transmitting a paging message for the terminal device from the radio network infrastructure element. The paging message comprises an indication of an identifier for the terminal device and an indication of a network allocated resource for use in subsequently communicating the data between the radio network infrastructure element and the terminal device. In response to receiving the paging message the terminal device transmits to the radio network infrastructure element a paging response indicating the terminal device received the paging message, after which the data is communicated between the radio network infrastructure element and the terminal device using the network allocated resource.
