Patent number: 11943504Abstract: An application programming interface (API) receives broadcast-related information from media automation applications. A traffic log is received from a first media automation application configured to generate a traffic log associated with a media station, and spot information associated with spots included in the traffic log is received from at least a second media automation application. The API stores the broadcast-related information, including the traffic log and the spot information, in one or more databases. The API also receives, from a media playout system, at least one request for the stored broadcast-related information. The media playout system is configured to insert media content into a media broadcast associated with the media station. The API provides the requested broadcast-related information to the media playout system, which inserts the media content into the media broadcast associated with the media station.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: IHEARTMEDIA MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC.Inventors: Steve Mills, Jeffrey Lee Littlejohn, David C.

Publication number: 20240031365Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for identifying an application (e.g., accessing application) that is attempting to access a resource. In some examples, access may be managed by an authentication service. When an access request is received at the authentication service from an application on a client device, the authentication service may ask the application to communicate with an identification agent on the client device. The identification agent may perform one or more tests to discover the identity of the application. In some cases, the identification agent may send the identity of the application to the authentication service. The authentication service may then allow or deny access by the accessing application to the resource based at least in part on the discovered identity.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: David Steven Gross, Jennifer Lee Bammel, David William Matteson, Christopher Carl Cassell, Kyle David Mills

Patent number: 11754436Abstract: A high-frequency dynamic pressure transducer calibration system and method is provided. The method directs a source onto a diaphragm of a dynamic pressure transducer. An oscillating voltage at a target frequency (or range of frequencies) is generated. The oscillating voltage is coupled to an electrical connector of the dynamic pressure transducer. A deflection pattern of the diaphragm is recorded. The dynamic pressure transducer is calibrated by correlating magnitude of the deflection pattern with the oscillating voltage as a function of the target frequency (or range of frequencies).Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2020Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignees: UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA RESEARCH FOUNDATION, INCORPORATED, INTERDISCIPLINARY CONSULTING CORPORATIONInventors: Mark Sheplak, David A.

Patent number: 11591874Abstract: A packer for anchoring and sealing to a tubular in a well, the packer including a packer element, an anchoring arrangement, a setting mechanism and a release mechanism. The release mechanism holds a thin-walled section of tubing in the packer in tension using a biasing mechanism. On severing the tubing, the bias releases an engagement mechanism which allows the anchor arrangement and the packing element to move relative to the body and thereby unset the packer. An embodiment of a dual bore packer is described. A method of well isolation is described, with an assembly including the dual bore packer. The primary bore forms the short string and a secondary bore forms the long string. By severing the short string the integrity of the long string is maintained to pull lower devices on the long string and the short string does not require tension below the packer to release.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2021Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: VIKING COMPLETION TECHNOLOGY FZCOInventors: Bartosz Krupski, Simon Peter Leiper, David Mills, William Morrison

Publication number: 20220280581Abstract: The combination of specific immunoglobulins plus activated Bifidobacteria strains or other beneficial bacteria is described with the designed efficacy to colonize unstable microbiome communities in humans or other animals, restoring the keystone Bifidobacteria strains or other beneficial bacteria to compositional and functional importance in the intestine and improve overall health and reduce pathogenic infections in the host. Secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA), when bound via specific glycans to select commensal bacteria grown on human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), enhances the colonization potential of commensals through protection from intestinal digestion, enhancing attachment, and dampening host immune response.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2022Publication date: September 8, 2022Inventors: Vanessa DUNNE-CASTAGNA, David MILLS, J.
