Patent number: 12008314Abstract: Technologies are provided for generating optimized sets of client rendering options for renderable content items (such as images, videos, text, and audio). Rendering optimization parameters for a renderable content item can be determined by assessing the performance of processing requests and rendering content items using different file formats, quality settings, and/or other settings for the renderable content items. The rendering optimization parameters can then be used in combination with a rendering specification that is defined by a developer (such as an application developer, web page designer, or the like) in order to create an optimized set of client rendering options. The set of client rendering options can then be transmitted to one or more client computing devices. A client computing device that receives the set of client rendering options can select one or more of the options in order to render the renderable content item.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2021Date of Patent: June 11, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Luitpold Staudigl, Pablo Barbachano, Muhammad Bilal Javed, Jochen Gast, Martijn Frederik Wouter van der Veen, Richard Droste

Patent number: 12002261Abstract: One or more multi-stage optimization iterations are performed with respect to a compression algorithm. A given iteration comprises a first stage in which hyper-parameters of a perceptual quality algorithm are tuned independently of the compression algorithm. A second stage of the iteration comprises tuning hyper-parameters of the compression algorithm using a set of perceptual quality scores generated by the tuned perceptual quality algorithm. The final stage of the iteration comprises performing a compression quality evaluation test on the tuned compression algorithm.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2022Date of Patent: June 4, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Luitpold Staudigl, Thomas Sydney Austin Wallis, Mike Mueller, Muhammad Bilal Javed, Pablo Barbachano

Patent number: 11960980Abstract: Systems and methods for computing a causal uplift in performance of an output action for one or more treatment actions in parallel are described herein. In an embodiment, a server computer receives interaction data for a particular period of time which identifies a plurality of users and a plurality of actions that were performed by each user of the plurality of users through a particular graphical user interface during the particular period of time. The server computer uses the interaction data to generate a feature matrix of actions for each user, and a set of confounding variables included to minimize spurious correlations. The feature matrix is then used to train a machine learning system, using data identifying a user's performance or non-performance of each action as inputs and data identifying performance or non-performance of a target output action as the output.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: AMPLITUDE, INC.Inventors: Scott Kramer, Cynthia Rogers, Eric Pollmann, Muhammad Bilal Mahmood

Patent number: 11950031Abstract: Systems and methods for performing impairment compensation in point-to-multi-point communication systems are described. In a data snapshot mode, a hub node can send instructions to each communication node connected to the hub node to send a data snapshot of data being received and processed by the communication nodes at a particular time. In a trench line mode, a hub node sends instructions to each communication node to send trench line data back to the hub node. The hub node uses the data snapshot or trench line data to determine how to tune filter coefficients in the hub node to perform impairment compensation and improve performance of the communication system.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Infinera CorporationInventors: Syed Muhammad Bilal, Christopher Fludger, Scott Pringle, Mehdi Karimi, William Isaac

Publication number: 20240104088Abstract: Systems and methods for data ingestion in real time are described herein. In an embodiment, a server computer receives a message comprising one or more client events from a storage device which publishes the message in response to storing the one or more client events. The server computer stores the one or more client events as raw event strings which are then parsed into parsed event strings. Identity resolution methods are performed on the parsed event strings. Feature groups are then identified in the parsed event strings and used to generate aggregation keys which are used to aggregate the feature groups prior to storing aggregated data in one or more aggregation tables.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Cynthia Rogers, William Pentney, Eric Pollmann, Muhammad Bilal Mahmood

Patent number: 11826708Abstract: A membrane surface monitoring system (MSM) and membrane surface monitoring cell for direct and unambiguous detection of membrane surface fouling and mineral scaling. The system includes a membrane surface monitoring system cell, a control valve, a retentate flow meter/transmitter and a controller. The MSM cell has a visually-observable membrane, an edge-lit light guide, an edge illumination light source, a retentate module, and a permeate module. A pressurized inlet stream is fed into the MSM cell. The feed contacts a membrane sheet, leading to membrane-based separation operation to produce retentate and permeate streams. The MSM cell integrates surface illumination and imaging components to allow direct real-time visualization and spectral imaging of the membrane surface in real time. The pressure on the feed-side of the MSM cells is approximately that of the membrane plant element being monitored such that the plant control system can adjust plant operating conditions.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2021Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Noria Water Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Anditya Rahardianto, Muhammad Bilal

Patent number: 11805041Abstract: Provided are an in-memory management system and method using user traffic. According to embodiments thereof, traffic bandwidth is monitored for an ERP user who has left an LAN coverage area, by using an OpenFlow-based SDN WAN, and loading or unloading of a table partition set, an SQL Plan cache, and an SQL view cache in an in-memory is managed depending on a result of monitoring, so that the in-memory can be efficiently managed. The user traffic for the ERP user and the user can be monitored through the local network, and loading or unloading of table partitions of the in-memory can be managed on the basis of the monitored user traffic so that the in-memory can be managed regardless of Internet access. Data transmission rate and security can be enhanced because distributed communication is performed over an LAN and a WAN for each user and each ERP user.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2021Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Inventors: Muhammad Bilal, Anand Nayyar, Mayank Tiwary, Kshira Sagar Sahoo, Bibhudatta Sahoo

Patent number: 11790898Abstract: Techniques for prioritizing resources of various users, associated with a device, when responding to a user input received from the device are described. When a user input is received from a device, a system may generate a resource list for a group profile (e.g., a household profile) and each user profile (including any guest user profile) associated with the device. Each resource list may include the catalogs of resources (e.g., songs of a playlist, contacts of a contact list, etc.) of the group profile or user profile. The system may also generate a weight matrix including a respective weight for each catalog of each resource list. Various processing components (e.g., an automatic speech recognition component, a natural language understanding component, and an entity resolution component) may process using the resource lists and the weight matrix to determine an output responsive to the user input.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2021Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Da Teng, Muhammad Bilal Khokhar, Naresh Narayanan, Bharath Bhimanaik Kumar
