Patent number: 11979636Abstract: Systems and methods for real-time transmission of data streams are disclosed. A controller receives data representing selected stream parameters from a browser residing on a computing device. The controller transmits the received data to a video transmitting device. A transcoder receives a first data stream generated according to the selected stream parameters from the video transmitting device. The transcoder generates a second data stream from the first data stream, the second data stream formatted for browser display; and then transmits the second data stream to the browser. A user may remotely control the video transmitting device using the browser. A user may view data streams from multiple video transmitting devices using the browser.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: DEJERO LABS INC.Inventors: Bogdan Frusina, Barry Gilhuly, Arif Hudda, Cameron Kenneth Smith, Anthony Todd Schneider, David Pui Keung Sze

Patent number: 11950607Abstract: Provided is a food composition which include a myceliated high-protein food product and methods to make such compositions, which are mixtures of myceliated high-protein food products and other edible materials. A food composition includes dairy alternative products, ready to mix beverages and beverage bases; extruded and extruded/puffed products; sheeted baked goods; meat analogs and extenders; baked goods and baking mixes; granola; and soups/soup bases. Food compositions also include texturized plant protein which can be used for making meat-structured plant protein meat analog or meat extender products. The food compositions have reduced undesirable flavors and reduced undesirable aromas due to use of myceliated high-protein food products as compared to use of similar high-protein material that is not myceliated.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: MYCOTECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Lisa Smith, Todd McDonald, Savita Jensen, Joseph George Akamittath, Alan D.

Publication number: 20230362179Abstract: According to the present disclosure, network security systems (e.g., network security algorithms) may uniquely identify an underlying algorithm and configuration used to produce domain names. For instance, network security techniques described herein may consider a collection of fully-qualified domain names (FQDNs) (e.g., taken from related network traffic data) and produce a value that can serve to uniquely identify the underlying generating algorithm and configuration used to produce the collection of FQDNs. In some examples, such may include implementation of statistical techniques to capture characteristic information about the amount of randomness, length, and distribution of characters in the collection of FQDNs. In some aspects, values of the characteristic information are adjusted based on a determined set of precision parameters. In some aspects, a single value may be produced, which can then be stored for later use in comparing with other values produced from some subsequent collection of FQDNs.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2022Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventors: Nicholas Todd Smith, Peter Adelman

Patent number: 11457253Abstract: Apparatus and methods for presentation of key frames. In one embodiment, an encoded video file is generated where one or more bits are assigned to key frames and minimizes the number of bits assigned to delta frames. Each key frame may be presented to a user during trick mode operation (e.g., fast forward, rewind, pause, or random seek operation). When the encoded video file is given to a packager, the packager generates a manifest file listing the byte information (byte offset and number of bytes) for each key frame in the encoded video file. When a user inputs a trick play mode command, the packager provides the manifest file to the client device of the user and the client device requests the bytes for the key frames of the video file from the content delivery network.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2020Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: TIME WARNER CABLE ENTERPRISES LLCInventors: John Chen, David Belt, Edward Galt, III, Robert Todd Smith
