  • Patent number: 11057633
    Abstract: Systems and methods of adaptive streaming are discussed. Transcoded copies of a source stream may be aligned with one another such that the independently specified portions of each transcoded stream occur at the same locations within the content. These transcoded copies may be produced by one or more transcoders, whose outputs are synchronized by a delay adjuster.

  • Patent number: 11053157
    Abstract: This invention provides a manufacturing method for an optical fiber. In this invention, when the core layer loose body and the cladding layer loose body are deposited, the oxyhydrogen flame is used make a temperature of an interface between the core layer and the cladding layer rise, such that silicon dioxide at the interface appropriately contracts to form an isolation layer with a relatively high density. In addition, in this invention, a hollow glass tube is used as a target rod, and the hollow glass tube which is the target rod is directly connected with the core layer loose body. During the subsequent dehydration, not only a dehydration atmosphere penetrates from the outside to the inside of the cladding layer loose body, but also the dehydration atmosphere directly enters the core layer through the hollow glass tube.

  • Patent number: 11055727
    Abstract: An improvement to the timespan for processing very large data sets using fuzzy logic to analyze billions of combinations of characters to enable an early detection of identity masking corresponding to new account fraud is provided. An identity masking fraud detection system is provided that receives new client data records including identifying information, compares the identifying information against prior user profiles stored in a database, determines when a prior user profile is matched with the identity information in the new client data record, and flags the new client data record and corresponding prior user profile as suspicious when an unresolved transaction is identified in associated with the prior user profile. The system prompts the new client user for additional identification information to verify that the new client user is not associated with the prior user profile or for the new client user to resolve the unresolved transaction.

  • Patent number: 11057147
    Abstract: A bandwidth allocation and monitoring method may divide available bandwidth on a shared communication medium into a plurality of discrete tones that can be individually allocated to modems on an as-needed basis. The effective modulation rate that a particular modem can use for each discrete tone can be monitored over time using a schedule of pilot tones transmitted from the modems on different tones at different times. The schedule may define representative pilot tones, in which case effective modulation rates for neighboring tones may be inferred from a determined effective modulation rate of a pilot tone.
