Publication number: 20230097778Abstract: In a high voltage, variable frequency radiation generation system, a carrier signal supplied to a primary coil of a transformer is varied, e.g., turned ON and OFF at variable frequencies. The ON duration and/or the average amplitude of the carrier signal may also be varied. Moreover, the carrier signal may be modulated using an audio signal. The parameters to control the variation of the carrier can be provided as a recipe via a software application. A server can provide different types of apps providing different control features. The server may also collect user characteristic data and recipe usage data, and may facilitate exchange of these data and may recommend recipes based on a particular user characteristic.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2022Publication date: March 30, 2023Inventors: James William Law, James David Girard, Colin Bester

Patent number: 11570234Abstract: An Internet infrastructure delivery platform (e.g., operated by a service provider) provides an overlay network (a server infrastructure) that is used to facilitate “second screen” end user media experiences. In this approach, first media content, which is typically either live on-demand, is being rendered on a first content device (e.g., a television, Blu-Ray disk or another source). That first media content may be delivered by servers in the overlay network. One or multiple end user second content devices are then adapted to be associated with the first content source, preferably, via the overlay network, to facilitate second screen end user experiences (on the second content devices).Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2021Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: Akamai Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Kristofer Alexander, Andrew F. Champagne, F. Thomson Leighton, Robert Neville, William Law

Patent number: 11272025Abstract: Stream delivery within a content delivery network (CDN) includes recording the stream using a recording tier, and playing the stream using a player tier. Recording begins when the stream is received in a source format. The stream is then converted into an intermediate format (IF), which comprises a stream manifest, one or more fragment indexes (FI), and a set of IF fragments. A player process begins when a requesting client is associated with a CDN HTTP proxy. In response to receipt at the proxy of a request for the stream, the HTTP proxy retrieves (either from the archive or the data store) the stream manifest and at least one fragment index. Using the fragment index, the IF fragments are retrieved to the HTTP proxy, converted to a target format, and then served in response to the client request. Preferably, fragments are accessed, cached and served by the proxy via HTTP.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2020Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: Akamai Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Christopher R. Knox, Philip A. Lisiecki, James Mutton, Chuck Bernard, Ashok Lalwani, William Law, Thomas Devanneaux
