  • Publication number: 20240170023
    Abstract: Described herein is a computer implemented method. The method includes displaying, on a display, a scene timeline including a time-ordered sequence of scene previews, each scene preview corresponding to a scene of a video production and having a display width that provides a visual indication of a duration of that scene. The method further includes displaying a canvas including a first visual element that is associated with the first scene, and in response to detecting selection of the first visual element from the canvas, causing a first visual element timing indicator to be displayed. The first visual element timing indicator is aligned with the scene timeline based on a first visual element start time and a first visual element end time.

  • Publication number: 20240169300
    Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods for hypothetical testing of a supply chain optimization. The computerized method for hypothetical optimization of a supply chain receives a hypothetical optimization query, generates variable definitions responsive to the query, generates scope definitions responsive to the query, generates presentation definitions and generates an optimization parameter set using the variable definitions and the scope definitions. The parameter set is used to optimize a hypothetical supply chain via an artificial intelligence (AI) modeling platform. One or more recommendations are generated based upon the optimized hypothetical supply chain.

  • Patent number: 11989394
    Abstract: Devices, methods and graphical user interfaces for manipulating user interfaces based on fingerprint sensor inputs are provided. While a display of an electronic device with a fingerprint sensor displays a first user interface, the device may detect movement of a fingerprint on the fingerprint sensor. In accordance with a determination that the movement of the fingerprint is in a first direction, the device allows navigating through the first user interface, and in accordance with a determination that the movement of the fingerprint is in a second direction different from the first direction, the device allows displaying a second user interface different from the first user interface on the display.

  • Publication number: 20240146546
    Abstract: An asymmetric key cryptographic system is used to generate a cryptographic certificate for authenticating a memory module. This certificate is generated based on information, readable by the authenticator (e.g., host system), from at least one device on the memory module that is not read in order to obtain the certificate. For example, the certificate for authenticating a module may be stored in the nonvolatile memory of a serial presence detect device. The certificate itself, however, is based at least in part on information read from at least one other device on the memory module. Examples of this other device include a registering clock driver, DRAM device(s), and/or data buffer device(s). In an embodiment, the information read from a device (e.g., DRAM) may be based on one or more device fingerprint(s) derived from physical variations that occur naturally, and inevitably, during integrated circuit manufacturing.

  • Publication number: 20240140830
    Abstract: A discrimination system that forms a fluid column and interrogates objects within the fluid column with an excitation source. An optical arrangement collects output electromagnetic radiation emanating from the excited objects disposed within the fluid column and directs the output electromagnetic radiation to a detector. An analyzer reduces the positional dependency of the detected intensity by normalizing the value based on the position of each object.

  • Patent number: 11951688
    Abstract: A generator injection tool is provided. The generator injection tool injects an adhesive into a generator that includes a rotor positioned within a stator having a stator vent, the stator and rotor having a gap therebetween. The generator injection tool includes a first carriage sized to fit within the gap, a tube, a first motor, a controller, and an adhesive source. An end of the tube is movable between a first position in which the end is outside of the stator vent and a second position within the stator vent. The first motor is operable to move the tube between the first position and the second position. The controller is operable to selectively activate the first motor to position the end of the tube within the stator vent. The adhesive source moves the adhesive through the tube end to inject a portion of the adhesive into the stator vent.

  • Publication number: 20240112110
    Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods for ingesting of raw client data into a supply chain optimization system. The client enterprise data system (EDS) provides raw data, typically in tabular format across many files, to a data management module of the optimization system. This data is then profiled. and a set of mapping AI models is applied to the profiled data. Each of the plurality of mapping AI models corresponds to a single input feature of the optimization model. As the mapping models are applied, a live preview is generated. This live preview is reviewable by a human operator, and human input can be provided. When there is input, the individual mapping model is updated (without impacting the other mapping models), and a new live preview for that given feature is generated. The resulting standardized feature set may be consumed by the supply chain optimization model.
