Abstract: Various implementations described herein are directed to an integrated circuit having first latch circuitry with multiple first latches that latch multiple input data signals. The integrated circuit may include second latch circuitry having a single second latch that receives the latched multiple input data signals from the multiple first latches and outputs a single latched data signal based on the latched multiple input data signals. The integrated circuit may include intermediate logic circuitry that is coupled between the first latch circuitry and the second latch circuitry. The intermediate logic circuitry may receive and combine the multiple input data signals from the first latch circuitry into a single data signal that is provided to the single second latch of the second latch circuitry for output as the single latched data signal.

Abstract: Server side content impression progression tracking is performed using ping triggers and pings. A server generates ping triggers for content based on an impression list from a configuration provided by the content originator. The server sets different times at which the ping triggers are to fire during content playback. When media playback on a client reaches a time set for a ping trigger, the ping trigger causes the client to return a ping to the server to indicate that playback has reached the designated time. In this manner, the pings granularly track content viewership on different clients, wherein the granular tracking measures not only whether content was viewed or not, but also how much of the content was viewed. Subsequent content to a particular client can be customized based on preferences derived from pings tracked from the particular client.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, computer program product, and method automatically, accurately, and reliably detect floor elevations of improvements (e.g., houses) on parcels of land without human inspection of the property. Fusing aspects of image processing, artificial intelligence, and information on adjacent grade points along the footprint of a specific property, the present computer-based system identifies a first floor height (FFH), and first floor elevation (FFE) of the improvement with respect to the terrain or surface of the parcel of land on which the improvement is located. In turn, by knowing the FFH of the improvement on the parcel, it is possible to improve on conventional methods for estimating flood risk to a property without requiring a personal inspection of the parcel by a human.
