Patent number: 11971965Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is system and method for use with software application development environments, for determining attribution associated with licensed software code. The system can receive as input an indication of a source application codebase for a software application, determine dependencies on third-party modules, libraries, or other software code, and output associated license attributions for that codebase. Optionally, the system can combine and/or de-duplicate multiple sets of attributions associated with a source application codebase, or generate a set of differences between two versions of attributions, to illustrate changes between the versions. In accordance with an embodiment, if the system detects potential licensing issues associated with the use of third-party modules, libraries, or other software code, then an appropriate notification can be generated.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Mark Nelson, Paul Mackin, Daniel Simone

Patent number: 11875604Abstract: A method includes a computing system receiving an image of a real-world environment, the image including at least a portion of a hand of a user of an artificial reality device, the hand comprising a palm and a plurality of fingers. The computing system determines a hand pose of the hand using the image, and defines, based on the hand pose, a three-dimensional surface positioned in the palm of the hand. The computing system determines, based on the hand pose, distances between predetermined portions of the plurality of fingers and the three-dimensional surface. The computing system assigns, based on the distances, a pose value for each of the plurality of fingers of the hand and determines, based on the pose values for the plurality of fingers, a grab state of the hand.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2021Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: Meta Platforms Technologies, LLCInventors: John-Fred Gilbert Abad, Sohail Sayed Shafii, Andrew Mitchell Welch, Ryan Daniel Rutherford, Travis Creighton Hoffstetter, Paul Nelson, Oneil Howell

Patent number: 11586699Abstract: Systems and methods that offer significant improvements to current content processing management systems for heterogeneous and widely distributed content sources are disclosed. The proposed systems and methods are configured to provide a framework and libraries of extensible components that together are designed enable creation of solutions to acquire data from one or more content repositories, possibly distributed around the world across a wide range of operating systems and hardware, process said content, and publish the resulting processed information to a search engine or other target application. The proposed embodiments offer an improved architecture that incorporates manager nodes and worker (processing) nodes, where worker nodes are configured to scan and process data, while manager nodes are configured to handle all allocation of work (including throttling) and control state and failover. Such an arrangement enables the system to perform with greater scalability and reliability.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2021Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: Accenture Global Solutions LimitedInventors: Paul Nelson, Andres Jose Aguilar Umaña, Julian Ramirez Alvarado, Petr Podsednik, Johan Andrés Montealegre Cortés, Steven Denny
