Abstract: A method may include receiving a check-in request at a server of a consent management platform from a content-presentation device. The request may by or include an authentication certificate for establishing a secure communicative connection. A device token cryptographically-signed by the server, a global identifier (GID) unique to the content-presentation device, and a device-based device record may be received over the secure communicative connection. The server may retrieve a server-based device record for the device from a flat database using the GID as an index key, and then compare a device-based sequence number in the device-based device record with a server-based sequence number in the server-based device record. If the sequence numbers match, the server may send a check-in complete message to the content-presentation. If the sequence numbers do not match, the server may initiate a synchronization procedure with the content-presentation device.

Abstract: In one aspect, a method carried out by a content-presentation device may include transmitting a consent-processing request, including an identifier string unique to the device, to a consent management platform disposed in a computing cloud. The string may be used to establish an interactive session for user selection of consent options associated with a consent package having consent features of a media distribution system that require user consent for activation on the device. The consent package may be one of multiple consent packages targeted for the device by the consent management platform. The interactive session may prompt for consent choices of consent options, each choice being acceptance or rejection of consent to activating features of the consent package. The consent choices may be provided to the consent management platform via the interactive session, and corresponding information may be stored in a device-based activation whitelist for each consent-to feature.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to browsing and searching content on an electronic device. An electronic device displays a first user interface including a search affordance and receives an input corresponding to selection of the search affordance. In response, the device displays a plurality of category affordances, including a first category affordance associated with a first category and a second category affordance associated with a second category. The device further receives an input corresponding to selection of the first category affordance and, in response, displays a representation of one or more information items that correspond to the first category and replaces at least a subset of the category affordances with a plurality of subcategory affordances that correspond to the first category. The plurality of subcategory affordances includes a first subcategory affordance associated with a first subcategory and a second subcategory affordance associated with a second subcategory.

Abstract: A multifunction device generates a display of a first view of an application-centric library associated with an application. The application-centric library has content rules that limit files to those that include content compatible with the application. The first view includes a representation of a first file compatible with the application and added to the application-centric library. The instructions also include: while displaying the first view, detecting first inputs; in response to detecting the first inputs, generating a display of a second view comprising a representation of a second file not added to the application-centric library; while displaying the second view, detecting second inputs interpreted as a selection of the representation of the second file; and in response to detecting the second inputs, in accordance with a determination that the second file is compatible with the application, adding the second file to the application-centric library.

Abstract: The object of the invention is a baking device for types of fatty foods that are baked in fat baths, in particular for households, in which baking device a fat pan (10) is located which can be placed on attachments (13) fastened to the housing of the baking device and removed therefrom, and in which a heating unit (8) is located between the base plate of the baking device and the fat pan (10), a lower baking plate (20) and an upper baking plate (27) being further located in said baking device, said plates being fastened together to form an enclosed baking unit, removable from one another, and at least the mutually parallel surfaces thereof being perforated or formed in a network fashion.

Abstract: The invention relates to a machine for fried dough foods fried in pans, wherein the machine comprises a preferably thermally insulated housing, which has a pan that is provided above the heating device disposed in the lower part of the machine. The invention further relates to a dough dispenser for the machine for fried dough food types fried in pans, wherein a feed worm having a diameter that corresponds to the diameter of the feed opening is disposed in the closable feed opening of the uncooked dough container of the dough dispenser.

Abstract: A system and method for providing nested controls for manipulating a digital image. A system may typically include a client computer having a web browser application executing thereon and having an in-browser image manipulation application executing within the context of the web browser application. Such an in-browser image manipulation application may be operated by a user to display a digital image to be manipulated. A user may select an editable feature, such as color scheme or brightness, of the digital image. In response to selecting the editable feature, the application may display the control feature adjacent to the digital image such that a user may manipulate the control feature in real-time. In response to manipulating the control feature, changes to the digital image are displayed in real-time.

Abstract: An assembly includes a housing with a base. A mounting pad is positioned on the base. The assembly also includes a micromechanical device coupled to the mounting pad. First and second side rails extend from the base to form first and second rail corners. The first and second rail corners are subject to striking a surface. The first and second rail corners have first and second elevations that are uneven to reduce impacts reaching the micromechanical device.

Abstract: A packet memory interface. The interface includes an input mechanism which receives related data. The interface includes an output mechanism which transmits the data. The interface includes a mechanism for transferring at least a plurality of bytes of the data in each burst of a plurality of bursts from the input mechanism to the output mechanism without fragmentation loss in each burst. A method for transferring data through a packet memory interface. The method includes the steps of receiving data of the packet at an input mechanism of the interface. Then there is the step of transferring at least a plurality of bytes of data of the packet to an output mechanism in bursts without any fragmentation loss in the bursts.
