Publication number: 20230365303Abstract: Plastic grid or framework arrangements are used to support and position of bowls that hold flower arrangements, candles, letters, and other decorative elements. These grids are deployable in water fountains, indoor and outdoor pools, and other small bodies of water during festive occasions or for longer term decorative display. The grid themselves do not float, and are positioned below the surface of the water, and thus are not readily visible. Buoyancy is provided at the hubs that form nodes in the grids. The hubs also support floating bowls containing various decorative elements. The resulting effect is that the various decorative elements appear to be floating on the surface while the sub-surface grid structure maintains their relative positioning, keeping the bowls from clumping together at the edges or in the corners of the pool or fountain.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2023Publication date: November 16, 2023Applicant: AMCS Consulting, LLCInventors: Anne-Marie Ansaldo-Swain, Curtis Swain, Philip John Blyskal, James Matthew Wittes

Patent number: 11075485Abstract: Contact device adapted to be inserted between two contact surfaces of two conductors of an electrical connection provided with at least one bolt, the device being formed by a metal foam plate to reduce electrical resistance of the connection. The surface area of the metal foam plate is at least equal to the surface area in contact with the two conductors, and is approximately 1 to 2 mm thick. The metal foam plate includes at least one circular opening intended to contain the bolt and at least one first pre-cut located between the opening and an outer edge of the contact device. The pre-cut is made by cutting the foam plate over a part of its thickness so that it can be easily broken along the pre-cut, the pre-cut allowing the bolt to be passed through it during the installation of the contact device.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2018Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: AMCInventor: Michel Pillet

Patent number: 10728625Abstract: Method, system, and computer-readable storage medium embodiments are provided for graphically displaying one or more key performance indicators (KPIs) associated with television (TV) viewership data. In some embodiments, a method operates at an electronic device with a display. The method operates by receiving a selected content from a user. Then, a chart is configured to display the one or more KPIs computed based on the TV viewership data. While displaying the chart, the method operates by receiving a selection of a user-selectable graphical element in the chart. In responding to the selection of the user-selectable graphical element, the chart is reconfigured to display the one or more KPIs based on the selection.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2018Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: AMC Network Entertainment LLCInventor: Vitaly Tsivin

Patent number: 10614036Abstract: Techniques have been provided for storing data in a de-duplicated manner on a data storage system in a manner that allows for real-time reference to an index that is too large to fit within memory. This may be accomplished by segmenting the index into smaller segments, stored on disk. Only a subset of the segments may be loaded into memory at a given time. A predictive filter is stored in memory for each segment, allowing a de-duplication driver to quickly predict whether any given new block is likely to be indexed by each segment. Since identical blocks are often stored in long identical sequences (e.g., upon copying a disk image to a disk for a virtual machine), once a segment stored on disk is referenced many times in a short period, it is loaded into memory to allow the remainder of the long sequence to be de-duplicated.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2016Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: AMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Ilya Usvyatsky, Nickolay Alexandrovich Dalmatov
