  • Patent number: 10791014
    Abstract: A method of recovering information encoded by a modulated sinusoidal waveform having first, second, third and fourth data notches at respective phase angles, where a power of the modulated sinusoidal waveform is reduced relative to a power of an unmodulated sinusoidal waveform within selected ones of the first, second, third and fourth data notches so as to encode input digital data. The method includes receiving the modulated sinusoidal waveform and generating digital values representing the modulated sinusoidal waveform. A digital representation of the unmodulated sinusoidal waveform is subtracted from the digital values in order to generate a received digital data sequence, which includes digital data notch values representative of the amplitude of the modulated sinusoidal waveform within the first, second, third and fourth data notches. The input digital data is then estimated based upon the digital data notch values.

  • Patent number: 10791188
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for adjusting an eligibility value for transmitting a digital component. In one aspect, a computing system includes a server for identifying opportunities to transmit digital components to client devices. The server determines a first probability of a given outcome occurring following user interaction with the digital component when the digital component is transmitted to the client device. The server determines a second probability of the given outcome occurring if the digital component is not transmitted to the client device. The server generates an outcome incrementality factor for the digital component, including determining a ratio of the first probability relative to the second probability, and triggers adjustment of an eligibility value based on the outcome incrementality factor. The server then controls transmission of the digital component to the client device using the adjusted eligibility value.

  • Patent number: 10786842
    Abstract: A method of forming a finished stamped product includes positioning a blank on a blank holder between an upper die and a lower die, inserting a movable wedge block between the blank holder and the upper die to establish a first binder gap, and while the movable wedge block is inserted, performing a first strike of the blank by lowering the upper die a first distance to contact and partially form the blank, the movable wedge block limiting downward movement of the upper die relative to the lower die. After the first strike, withdrawing the movable wedge block to establish a second binder gap between the blank holder and the upper die, and while the movable wedge block is withdrawn, performing a second strike of the blank by lowering the upper die a second distance to finally form the blank into the finished product.

  • Patent number: 10789390
    Abstract: In a method of controlling account user access to transaction information for a joint account, a set of control criteria is stored in a control database. Information for a new transaction is received and stored in a transaction information database. An information limitation request to prevent access to the transaction information by a second account user for a withholding time interval is received from a first account user. An access limitation record including identification of the second account user and the withholding time interval is stored in the information control database. Upon receiving from a second account user a request for account information including the transaction information, a determination may be made as to whether the transaction information should be withheld from the second account user. Responsive to a determination that the transaction information should be withheld, a response excluding the transaction information is transmitted to the second user device.

  • Patent number: 10791401
    Abstract: An improved loudspeaker that has a plurality of stacks of cards having electrostatic transducers, in which one stack of cards has a different width as another stack of cards in the plurality of stacks. At frequencies above 200 Hz, and at the same drive voltage and current, the stack of lesser width produced significantly greater microphone voltage as compared to the stack of greater width cards. By combining the plurality of stacks of cards with different widths, this provides for the elimination of conventional cone drivers, and provides for improved sound both above and below 200 Hz using only electrostatic transducers. It also assists in maintaining a null sound plane that is beneficial for voice recognition.

  • Patent number: 10786100
    Abstract: A sleeping bag includes a top cover and bottom sheet. The bottom sheet can be secured to a sleeping pad and includes a sheet portion and lateral flaps connected to the sheet portion along opposite lateral edges of the sleeping pad when the bottom sheet is secured thereto. The top cover and lateral flaps enable attachment, detachment, and reattachment of the lateral flaps along their lateral edges to a top cover outer surface along corresponding attachment paths displaced medially from top cover lateral edges, enabling a top cover headward portion to assume wrapped and expanded configurations, and enabling conversion between those configurations. When wrapped, headward portions of the top cover outer surface, that are lateral of the attachment paths, are positioned against the sheet portion; when expanded, the lateral flaps and lateral portions of the top cover extend upward or laterally away from the sleeping pad lateral edges.

  • Patent number: 10791309
    Abstract: Transmission of HDR image data is satisfactorily performed between apparatuses. A transmission apparatus (synchronized apparatus) transmits the HDR image data to a reception apparatus (source apparatus) over a transmission path. At that time, the transmission apparatus transmits information on a transmission method for and/or information on gamma correction for the HDR image data to the reception apparatus over the transmission path. The reception apparatus performs processing (decoding processing, gamma correction processing, and the like) on the received HDR image data, based on the information on the transmission method and/or the information on the gamma correction that are received. For example, the transmission apparatus receives from the reception apparatus the pieces of information on the transmission method and/or the gamma correction that the reception apparatus can support, selects the method that the reception apparatus can support, and thus uses the selected method.
