  • Patent number: 12656925
    Abstract: A method for a website building system includes analyzing a user selected portion of a website for editing to determine an editable subset of components. The website includes a multiplicity of pages in a page-based user interface, where the page-based user interface enables editing of the components and where a multi-page container component includes at least one mini-page and a single page container component is empty or includes at least one component. For a non-empty single page container component of said editable subset of components, the method includes placing components contained in the single page container component into a parent page previously containing the single page container component, resulting in an updated page-based hierarchy for the editable subset components.

  • Patent number: 12639771
    Abstract: In the context of an electrical utility system, changing cloud conditions may cause a customer having solar panels to greatly increase or decrease electrical demand in a difficult-to-predict manner. Accordingly, a spinning reserve maintained by an electric utility company must be larger, and is therefore more expensive. In an example, the spinning reserve may be managed by: calculating a stable sequence of forecasts of smoothed real-time consumption, wherein the calculating is based at least in part on smoothed estimates of consumption data. A stable sequence of forecasts of real-time measured load may be calculated by subtracting forecasts of real-time distributed solar photovoltaic (PV) generation data from the stable sequence of forecasts of smoothed real-time consumption. The spinning reserve of the electricity system may be controlled based at least in part on the stable sequence of forecasts of real-time measured load.

  • Patent number: 12619222
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for providing enhanced visualization of lifecycle information and management for a network, such as an industrial network, enable the creation/design of a virtualized network. The virtualized network eases the physical deployment/installation of a real network by using augmented reality (AR) to enable configuration/monitoring of the network using the virtualized network and real-time and/or historical information. Performance issues may be identified and visually conveyed to a user using AR overlay. The virtualized network may be created by a user via a network layout creation tool that combines both physical and logical mappings of devices and elements. One or more AR tools may be used to add, edit, remove, and/or manipulate elements of the network model using gestures. The virtualized network may be implemented as a digital twin of the location and used to assist in the physical deployment, maintenance, and monitoring of a network at the location.

  • Patent number: 12585697
    Abstract: This invention is directed to a tool that enables content creators to collect and analyze feedback on their content during production and live performances. During playback of content, users are enabled to provide detailed feedback and comments via various feedback interfaces on user devices. Users may indicate that they like and dislike certain aspects of the content, such as musical instruments featured in a song, at specific points in time. Feedback is timestamped, transformed into values, and aggregated for review and analysis. Using machine learning techniques, the present invention can identify trends in audience preferences and generate recommendations for tailoring content and content delivery. An interactive display enables the content creator to efficiently manipulate and make sense of collected feedback. With robust security features, the interactive content feedback system described herein may integrate with content streaming platforms as well as operate as an independent application.

  • Patent number: 12524026
    Abstract: Method for dispensing a recipe includes measuring characterization data for components of a recipe. A signal representing an instruction to dispense the recipe is received at a processor operably coupled to a dispenser. In response to receiving the signal representing the instruction to dispense, an instruction set is generated based on the recipe and the characterization data. The instruction set is executed, to cause a series of delivery events of the components. Prior to each individual delivery event comprising the instruction set, a deviation, from their predetermined setpoints, is detected in a temperature and/or a pressure of the microfluidic dispenser. In response to detecting the deviation in temperature and/or pressure, the processor automatically causes an adjustment to one or more instructions from the instruction set based on the detected variation such that the amount of each component delivered more closely conforms to the amount specified in the recipe.
