  • Patent number: 11949891
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing viewers of streamed video content with the option to view alternative video content in which alternative tone maps are applied to respective regions of interest. In some embodiments, the streamed video content is divided into slices, and alternative tone maps are applied to respective regions of interest within the slices. When a server receives a request from a client for alternative tone mappings of different regions, slices with the appropriate mapping may be assembled on demand and delivered to the client in a single video stream. Tone mappings may be used, for example, to highlight particular objects, such as players in a sporting event captured in the streamed video content.

  • Patent number: 11911736
    Abstract: An exemplary compounding method of controlling a compounding device to prepare an admixture of at least two distinct material sources can include examining material source solutions for incompatibility of the ingredients and operating a first and a second pump to prevent one of the incompatible source solutions from entering a common flow path. The processing method can detect degradation of a fluid line by evaluating one or more of calibration error rate data, cumulative volumetric flow data, or cumulative pump operation data. The processing method can also selectively transfer a first group of source solutions using the first pump, receiving pump data from one or more sensors that sense actions of the pumps, applying fluid correction factors and calculating discrete pump movements, the pump movements being indicative of an amount of source solution displacement by a pump, and operating the pumps to selectively dispense the source solution amounts according to a preparation order.

  • Publication number: 20240040036
    Abstract: Methods and systems provide for real-time user screening of messages within a communication platform. In one embodiment, the system presents, to a first user, a notification of an incoming call from a second user and options for managing the call; receives, from the first client device, a selection of an option to screen the call; in response to the first user selecting to screen the call, presents, to the second user, a prompt for capturing a message; presents a message to the first user; while the message is being presented to the first user, presents, to the first user, a second set of options; and if the system determines that a selection has been made of an option to interrupt the message to accept the call: stops both capture of the message and playback of the message, and presents a digital call between the first and second users.
