  • Publication number: 20240073267
    Abstract: A sequence of media items is obtained obtaining, at a first distribution site. Local media content to be inserted into the sequence of media items, which is transmitted by a second distribution site, is received at the first distribution site. The first distribution site also receives a control signal transmitted by the second distribution site. The control signal controls playout of the local media content in relation to the sequence of media items. The first distribution site transmits the local media content and the control signal to one or more dispersed transmission sites.

  • Publication number: 20240069726
    Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to memory device log data storage. In some implementations, a memory device may store a first data stream associated with a first type of log data in a circular buffer. The memory device may store a second data stream associated with a second type of log data in another memory location. The memory device may detect an event included in the second data stream that is associated with an attribute level that satisfies a threshold. The memory device may write data stored in the circular buffer after a time at which the event is detected to a non-volatile memory based on the attribute level satisfying the threshold, wherein the data stored in the circular buffer is stored in the non-volatile memory in connection with data associated with the event.

  • Patent number: 11915170
    Abstract: In some examples, a processor may access past order information for a plurality of merchants to determine, for an upcoming time period, a number of orders predicted to be received by the merchants. The processor may determine geographic locations of delivery agent devices, each associated with a respective delivery agent. The processor may compare, for the upcoming time period, a number of active delivery agents with the number of orders predicted to be received. Based at least on determining a predicted shortage of active delivery agents for the upcoming time period, the processor selects a first delivery agent of the plurality of delivery agents to pick up a first order from a first pickup location of a first merchant and a second order from a second pickup location of a second merchant, and sends a message to a first delivery agent device associated with the first delivery agent.

  • Publication number: 20240039650
    Abstract: A broadcast order placed by a requestor is received at a first processing device configured to implement an automated media scheduling system. The broadcast order includes a request to prohibit placement of at least one media item within a threshold proximity of a restricted media show. In response to receiving the broadcast order, the automated media scheduling system modifies at least one record associated with the requestor to indicate the request. During automated schedule generation, the automated media scheduling system prevents the at least one media item from being scheduled within the threshold proximity of the restricted media show.

  • Publication number: 20230418954
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for detecting information modification in a memory system are described. A system may generate a first value, such as a first hash value, from information stored in storage component. The system may then generate a second value, such as a second hash value, from content stored in the storage component. After generating the second value, the system may compare the second value to the first value. The system may then determine the modification status of the information based on the comparison, and implement one or more operations based on the modification status.

  • Patent number: 11851136
    Abstract: A foil displacement system includes one or more foils that can be deployed and stowed. When deployed, each foil can exert downforce or uplift depending on its orientation. For example, each foil may be positioned to have an angle of attack that creates a downward force effectively transmitted to the hull to pull the hull deeper within the water to, for example, create a larger wake. Use of the foil displacement system can enhance or replace the use of a ballast tank system, can be integrated into a new boat or retrofitted to existing boats, can be electronically or manually positioned, can enhance activities such as wake surfing, wake boarding, water skiing or other similar or related water sports.

  • Patent number: 11853983
    Abstract: Videos to be hosted at an asset hosting platform and submitted by an owner of the videos are received. The videos are provided for consumption by users of the asset hosting platform. The historical data identifies a historical popularity of one or more of the videos. Whether the historical data associated with the one or more of the videos satisfies a viewership rate specifying a rate of viewership over a predetermined period of time for the one or more of the videos is determined. Responsive to determining that the historical data associated with the one or more of the videos satisfies the viewership rate, the owner is determined as eligible to participate in a video performance sharing program. A communication for a client device associated with the owner of the videos to invite the owner to participate in the video performance sharing program is generated.

  • Publication number: 20230401953
    Abstract: One or more traffic-data sets including traffic probes, which include one or more identifiable items of information obtained from one or more traffic probe devices, are obtained. A traffic flow prediction to be validated is selected. The selected traffic flow prediction is associated with a road segment and a time period. A list of traffic probes to be used in validating the traffic flow prediction is generated. The list of traffic probes includes information obtained from traffic probe devices that travelled an entire length of the road segment during the time period. Travel times of the traffic probe devices that travelled an entire length of the road segment during the time period are ordered, and outliers are removed from the list of traffic probes. A validated traffic-flow prediction is generated based on traffic probes remaining in the list of traffic probes, and the validated traffic-flow prediction is transmitted to an end-user processing device.

  • Patent number: 11840805
    Abstract: A high efficiency bleaching method for cellulosic pulp includes: (a) providing a charge of aqueous cellulosic pulp to a bleaching vessel at a consistency of from 10% to 30% along with a peroxy bleaching agent and an alkaline agent effective to adjust pH of the charge to 9.5 to 12.5; and (b) bleaching the aqueous cellulosic pulp in the bleaching vessel while maintaining a bleaching temperature of from 110° F. (43° C.) to 135° F. (57° C.) and a pH of the charge from 9.5 to 12.5 for an extended bleaching retention time. The bleaching method is advantageously used to bleach low brightness recycle pulp, and/or as part of a multistage process with bleaching stages of lesser duration, and/or as a high peroxy efficiency, low dose bleaching process or in connection with concurrently storing and bleaching pulp.

  • Patent number: 11823569
    Abstract: A method of validating traffic-flow predictions includes obtaining traffic-flow prediction, associated with a particular roadway segment and a particular time. Recorded traffic data corresponding to the particular roadway segment and the particular time, which includes data from traffic probe devices, is obtained. A subset of the recorded traffic data, limited to data obtained from a subset of the traffic probe devices, is obtained, and used to generate an estimated actual traffic-flow. At least a first quality index, which is based on a degree to which the traffic-flow prediction corresponds to the estimated actual traffic-flow, is generated. If the at least a first quality index satisfies at least a first quality threshold, the traffic-flow prediction is flagged for review.
