Patent number: 11935300Abstract: In various embodiments, a match cutting application automatically generates candidate match cuts. In some embodiments, the match cutting application detects shot sequences within one or more video sequences, deduplicates the shot sequences, computes an encoding of each shot sequence after the deduplication, and compares the encodings associated with pairs of shot sequences using a distance metric to identify pairs of shot sequences that can be cut together to generate candidate match cuts. In addition, the match cutting application can apply an approximation technique, such as an approximate nearest neighbor search technique, to identify intermediate pairs of shot sequences prior to comparing encodings associated with the intermediate pairs of shot sequences.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: NETFLIX, INC.Inventors: Boris Anthony Chen, Amirreza Ziai, Kelli Rebecca Griggs, Rebecca Suzanne Tucker

Patent number: 11904765Abstract: A system includes a microcontroller that controls illumination of a plurality of vehicle lights that are operable in a flashing state wherein the plurality of lights operate as hazard flashers visible on a front and rear of a vehicle and a strobing state wherein the plurality of lights operate as strobing lights visible on the front and rear of the vehicle. The system includes a strobe activation switch that provides a signal to the microcontroller to operate the plurality of vehicle lights in the second strobing state. The microcontroller operates the plurality of vehicle lights in the first hazard flasher state in response activation of an existing hazard flasher switch. The strobing state has a flash rate that is perceptibly faster than a flash rate of the flashing state.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2019Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: ESS-HELP, INC.Inventors: David M. Tucker, Mike Incorvaia, Stephen T. Powers, Austin Reece Tucker, Daniel Anthony Tucker

Publication number: 20230248928Abstract: Methods and apparatus provide communications among respiratory therapy device (“TD”), server and intermediary (e.g., a control device (“CTLD”) for the therapy device) to improve security. More secure communication channel(s) may be established using shared secrets derived with different channels. The communications may include transmitting therapy data from TD to server for authentication. The CTLD may receive the data and a nonce from a server. The CTLD receives from the TD a signing key dependent on the nonce and a secret shared by TD and server. The CTLD generates an authorisation code with received therapy data and the key for authentication of the data by the server upon its receipt of the code and data. The server computes (1) a key from the nonce and the secret known to TD, and (2) another authorisation code from received therapy data and the key. Data authentication may involve comparing received and computed codes.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2023Publication date: August 10, 2023Applicant: ResMed Inc.Inventors: Brian HICKEY, Christopher John Roberts, Chinmayee Somaiya, Wendall Eric Trull, Luke Anthony Tucker, Amila Jeewaka Fernando

Patent number: 11518298Abstract: A system has a microcontroller with operative control of a set of vehicle lights including an ability to flash all of the set of vehicle signal lights simultaneously as hazard flashers and an ability to strobe all of the set of vehicle signal lights as high conspicuity emergency lighting. Upon receipt of an indication from a vehicle data bus that the vehicle is slowing as a result of a stopping event, the microcontroller determines a speed of the vehicle and strobes the set of vehicle signal lights as high conspicuity emergency lighting if the speed of the vehicle is below a predetermined threshold.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2021Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: ESS-Help, lnc.Inventors: John Zachariah Cobb, Daniel Anthony Tucker, David M.

Publication number: 20220324380Abstract: A microcontroller is in operative control of the left and right turn signal lamps, a park selector indicator input is communicatively coupled to the microcontroller to indicate when a vehicle is placed in park. An ignition switch position indicator is communicatively coupled to the microcontroller to indicate when the vehicle ignition switch is on or off. A hazard lamp switch activates the microcontroller to flash the left and right turn signal lamps together a standard flash rate, and a high conspicuity switch that activates the microcontroller to flash the left and right turn signal lamps together at a high conspicuity rate when the hazard lamp switch is activated, and the vehicle is in park or the ignition is off.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2022Publication date: October 13, 2022Inventors: JOHN ZACHARIAH COBB, DANIEL ANTHONY TUCKER, DAVID M.
