  • Patent number: 11968426
    Abstract: Techniques for selecting TV user interface (UI) transition characteristics are described. In accordance with various embodiments, a transition characteristics selection method is performed at a device (e.g., a cloud UI engine on a server) with one or more processors and a non-transitory memory. The UI engine receives a request for transitioning from a first screen to a second screen on a client device while in a real-time content presentation mode. In response to receiving the request and while in the real-time content presentation mode, the UI engine obtains one or more presentation conditions of the client device and selects one or more transition characteristics for transitioning from the first screen to the second screen based on costs associated with the one or more transition characteristics and the one or more presentation conditions.

  • Publication number: 20240103946
    Abstract: Techniques for identifying faults in a collaborative computing system including a plurality of disparate, geographically separated computing systems are described herein. An intelligent monitoring (IM) server computing system may receive data from the plurality of computing devices and may monitor the health of the collaborative computing system. The IM server computing system may analyze the data and identify one or more faults associated with a portion of the collaborative system (e.g., an associated computing device, platform, network, etc.). In some examples, the IM server computing system may be configured to identify potential future faults associated with the portion of the collaborative system. Based on the fault, the IM server computing device may determine an action to take to remedy the fault and/or prevent the potential future fault. The IM server computing device may either automatically perform the action or send a notification to the associated computing system to perform the action.

  • Publication number: 20240068758
    Abstract: A modular two-piece bolt system for firearms with blowback actions provides a rear bolt piece which detachably couples to plural different front bolt pieces each of different mass. The front bolt pieces have a similar configuration and common coupling interface which forms an interlocked relationship with a complementary configured coupling interface on the rear bolt piece to prevent axial separation of the pieces when the action of the firearm is cycled. The system allows various front bolt pieces to be selected and used interchangeably with the rear bolt piece so that a front bolt piece of proper mass can be matched to the energy of ammunition to be fired. The front and rear bolt pieces when coupled define a continuous extended longitudinal passage which receives the rear breech end portion of the firearm barrel therethrough to reduce the projected length of the barrel.

  • Publication number: 20230324221
    Abstract: A light detection device for alerting an external monitoring system is disclosed herein. In an example, a photosensor apparatus is configured to use one or more photosensors to detect when light is emitted from an indicator lamp of a laboratory instrument. An output from the photosensor(s) is configured to cause a change in a relay switch, which sends a signal to a processor of a system monitor, which may be communicatively coupled to a network. After receiving a signal, the processor is configured to cause the system monitor to generate an alert or alarm indicative that at least one platelet sample within the laboratory instrument has tested positive for bacteria. The system monitor may display the alert or alarm via a user interface and/or may transmit one or more messages to client devices indicative of the light illumination.

  • Publication number: 20230312253
    Abstract: Yeast cells are genetically modified to disrupt a native metabolic pathway from dihydroxyacetone to glycerol. In certain aspects, the yeast cell is of the genera Kluyveromyces, Candida or Issatchenkia. In other aspects, the yeast cell is capable of producing at least one organic acid, such as lactate. The yeast cells produce significantly less glycerol than the wild-type strains, and usually produce greater yields of desired fermentation products. Yeast cells of the invention often grow well when cultivated, despite their curtailed glycerol production.

  • Publication number: 20230319600
    Abstract: The system obtains an indication of a configuration update to perform on a component of a network and an indication of the component associated with the network. The configuration update is performed in multiple stages, including a pre-check stage, a configuration stage, and a verification stage. In the pre-check stage, the system obtains a parameter and an expected value of the parameter associated with the component. The system determines whether the component satisfies the expected value of the parameter by obtaining a value of the parameter associated with the component and comparing the obtained value to the expected value. Upon determining that the component satisfies the expected value of the parameter, the system performs the configuration stage. Upon performing the configuration update, the system performs the verification stage by testing whether the component is functioning. Upon determining that the component is functioning, the system provides the configuration update to UEs.
