  • Patent number: 11947778
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to navigating a collection of media items. In accordance with one embodiment, in response to receiving an input, a device displays a first view of a collection of media items, including concurrently displaying a representation of a first time period and a representation of a second time period. In accordance with a determination that a current time is associated with a first recurring temporal event: the representation of the first time period includes a first representative media item and the representation of the second time period includes a second representative media item. In accordance with a determination that the current time is associated with a second recurring temporal event, the representation of the first time period includes a third representative media item and the representation of the second time period includes a fourth representative media item.

  • Patent number: 11372596
    Abstract: A method for storing data blocks within a volume of data is disclosed. The method involves creating a frame header to identify encoding and a size of a data block, storing the frame header and the data block in the volume of data, and creating an identifying sequence to identify if a data block is encoded or unencoded and storing the data block with the identifying sequence and with a frame header if the data block is encoded and storing the data block without the identifying sequence and without a frame header if the data block is unencoded.

  • Patent number: 11362604
    Abstract: An electric field mill (EFM) incorporates a novel rotor and shaft grounding mechanism providing a low-impedance path to ground via a bearing packed with electrically conductive grease. A removable bearing washer allows for servicing. The EFM includes a data processing scheme built around a peak detection algorithm and moving much of the signal processing to digital processing. A GPS disciplined sampling clock and cellular connectivity allow for use and maintenance of arrays of widely scattered EFMs.

  • Patent number: 10733305
    Abstract: A method for performing cryptography operations on data blocks within a volume of data is disclosed. The method involves generating a volume master key, generating a user key, generating a volume initialization vector, generating an intermediate key, generating a user volume key, and performing cryptography operations on data blocks within an individual volume of data using the volume master key, the user key, the volume initialization vector, the intermediate key, and the user volume key.

  • Patent number: 10411533
    Abstract: Each lamination of the lamination stack comprises at least one assembly of coupling elements, said assembly comprising one insertion clamp, one receiving clamp and at least one receiving window, said coupling elements maintaining the same relative positioning from one another, the insertion clamp and the receiving clamp being defined by respective portions of the lamination axially projecting to the same side of the latter, each insertion clamp of a lamination being fitted, by interference, in the interior of a receiving clamp of an adjacent lamination, and each receiving clamp of a lamination being housed in the receiving window of at least one lamination of the stack.
