  • Patent number: 11727039
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for implementing a low-latency data stream monitoring system. The data stream monitoring system may obtain raw data from a data source as soon after the data is generated, and may classify the data according to different topics. The topics may be published in a publish-subscribe messaging model, and data enrichment systems may subscribe to the topics to receive data for enrichment. The data enrichment systems may supplement or replace the raw data with additional information, and may further classify or reclassify the enriched data into different topics. The enriched data may then be published to an alert generation system, which may apply various criteria to the enriched data to determine that alerts should be generated, generate the alerts, and publish or transmit the alerts to client devices. Individual data streams, topics, enrichments, criteria, and alarms may be added, removed, or modified as required.

  • Patent number: 11718040
    Abstract: A process is presented for creating 3D sculptures using a 3D printer. The 3D sculptures form a foreground for a 2D base image also applied by the 3D printer. The process involves using a 3D printer to apply colors and/or images like a conventional 2D printer while the 3D product is being created. A 2D base design is combined with a 3D sculpture design to create an integral “canvas” which faces outward from the base and presents a 3D image emerging from a 2D background. The completed “canvas” can then be attached to an apparel item, such as a hat, or an accessory item, such as a bag, using magnets or other conventional mechanical attachment means.

  • Patent number: 11715404
    Abstract: In an example display system, a range of colors around a region may be identified and compared to a color of the region with respect to a perception threshold. In that example, a modification of the color within the region may be determined based on the range of colors around the region and a display may be caused to present the region in a modified color based on the range of colors around the region with respect to the perception threshold.

  • Patent number: 11700416
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for scheduling a season recording. A series is provided to a user device, the series having a plurality of sequential seasons, and each season having a plurality of episodes. A request for recording the series is received from the user. In response, a last episode of the series watched by the user is identified. A relevant season of the plurality of seasons is then determined, such that the relevant season precedes another season of the plurality of seasons and includes the last episode watched by the user. Then, episodes of the relevant season that follow the last episode watched by the user are scheduled for recording, such that episodes of a season that precedes the relevant season are not scheduled for recording.

  • Patent number: 11687309
    Abstract: In an example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a system comprising a camera, a plurality of displays and a processor. The processor receives a series of images, from the camera, corresponding to a physical environment, wherein the series of images include the plurality of displays. The processor identifies a fiducial mark within the series of images corresponding to a display. The processor determines a three-dimensional space based on a camera position based on the series of images. The processor determines a location within the three-dimensional space corresponding to the one of the plurality of displays. The processor creates a geospatial relationship between the location and the camera within the three-dimensional space. The processor correlates the geospatial relationship to a display configuration screen. The processor creates a pointing device path in the display configuration screen corresponding to the geospatial relationship.

  • Patent number: 11669871
    Abstract: A cross-platform management system that handles cross-platform management of client requirements receives a request corresponding to a plurality of client-defined requirements to be achieved in a flight. The request for the plurality of client-defined requirements is associated with request parameters. The system generates a proposal plan corresponding to the received request based on adjustment of the one or more request parameters. The proposal plan corresponds to a distribution of target audience across a set of delivery platforms. The system executes the generated proposal plan for a first time period in the flight on one or more delivery platforms. The system re-optimizes the generated proposal plan and controls execution of the generated proposal plan for a second time period in the flight by an in-flight re-distribution of the target audience across one or more delivery platforms of the set of delivery platforms.

  • Publication number: 20230141648
    Abstract: A ball game is submitted. The ball game has an elevated, flat surface which resembles a volleyball net, but where there are three rows of ten boxes. Each hole (box) in the net is 12 inches × 12 inches, and the game ball is around 5 inches in diameter. A user stands on either side of the elevated, flat surface and may throw the ball through one of the holes (boxes) in the elevated, flat surface. Another user stands on the opposite side of the elevated, flat surface and may catch the ball and return it in the same way. The height of the elevated, flat surface which resembles a volleyball net, the number, and dimensions of the holes (boxes), and the size of the game ball may be changed/adjusted. However, the holes (boxes) in the net are at least 50% larger than the diameter of the game ball, e.g., in another embodiment, there are three rows of eight boxes, where each hole (box) in the net is 14 inches x 14 inches, and the game ball is around 6 inches in diameter.

  • Publication number: 20230141776
    Abstract: A system is provided that generates values associated with a promotion impact measure for each promotional campaign based on historical data and an expected audience. A number of inventory units is determined for each promotional campaign that corresponds to a promotion inventory utilization type, based on a difference in estimated demand value for the inventory units for a specified duration for a scatter inventory utilization type and current value of actual demand units for the specified duration and a gross sum of the values for defined number of weeks of each promotional campaign and a plurality of constraints. Inventory units are allocated among each inventory utilization type based on number of inventory units for each promotional campaign to meet defined parameters for the defined amount of inventory units for specified durations until the end of the specified upcoming time-frame. Content is distributed via a channel based on allocated inventory units.
