Patent number: 11987555Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds, compositions, and methods for brightening skin. The compounds, compositions, and methods of the present invention generally involve compounds produced by a Malassezia yeast, and chemical analogs thereof. In addition to skin brightening applications, the compounds, compositions, and methods of the present invention may be used to modulate melanocyte activity, induce melanocyte apoptosis, agonize an arylhydrocarbon receptor (AhR), improve hyperpigmentation caused by a hyperpigmentation disorder, and modulate melanin production, melanosome biogenesis, and melanosome transfer.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2021Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: VERSICOLOR TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Michael Einziger, Ann Marie Simpson

Publication number: 20230353813Abstract: Systems and methods for playing synchronized audio streams for live broadcasts are described. For example, supplemental audio streams (e.g., extra commentary or sound effects) may be streamed over a packet switched network with a copy (e.g., a reduced bandwidth copy) of a main audio signal from a television broadcast. A user device may synchronize the streamed audio with the audio from a television recorded with a microphone, and play a supplemental audio signal synchronously with the audio from the television. For example, methods may include capturing a first audio signal using a microphone; receiving a second audio signal and a third audio signal using a network interface; determining an estimated delay of the first audio signal relative to the second audio signal; and playing, using a speaker, the third audio signal with an added delay determined based on the estimated delay.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventors: Vikram Singh, Ann Marie Simpson
