  • Patent number: 11436276
    Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus, system and method for the comparison between songs to analyse how similar each song is to the next using a new system of classification. A new and improved method and apparatus for the weighting of these comparable variables between songs in order to find the best objective criteria for finding a likeness between songs is disclosed. The time complexity associated with the computation of the optimal path for smoothing a playlist of songs is substantially reduced using the system of classification.

  • Patent number: 11417525
    Abstract: Methods of self-aligned multiple patterning. A hardmask is deposited over an interlayer dielectric layer. A mandrel is formed over the hardmask. A block mask is formed that covers a first lengthwise section of the mandrel and that exposes second and third lengthwise sections of the mandrel. After forming the block mask, the second and third lengthwise sections of the mandrel are removed to define a pattern including respective first and second mandrel lines that are separated from each other by the first lengthwise section of the mandrel. The first mandrel line and the second mandrel line expose respective portions of the hardmask, and the first lengthwise section of the mandrel line covers another portion of the hardmask. The pattern is transferred to the hardmask with an etching process, and subsequently transferred to the interlayer dielectric layer with another etching process.

  • Publication number: 20220197671
    Abstract: Automated runtime service optimization via modification of a configuration file is disclosed. A first configuration file is analyzed to identify at least one service to be initiated for use by a first application identified in the first configuration file. Service information identifying one or more service processes currently executing on the computing device is obtained. It is determined that the at least one service is currently executing as a first service process of the one or more service processes on the computing device. The first configuration file is modified to inhibit a subsequent execution of the at least one service, and to reference the first service process on the computing device, such that the first application, when initiated as a first application process, utilizes the first service process.

  • Patent number: 11360957
    Abstract: A processing device receives a first query comprising a first field value and a first time period. The processing device performs a first search of a data store to identify a first plurality of events having the first time period and at least one field that comprises the first field value. The processing device generates a first search object comprising the first field value. The first search object may be a data structure, file or data record, and is stored in the data store. The processing device generates a search event comprising the first field value and a reference to the first search object. An event entry for the first search event is then written to the data store. Future searches may return both the first search event and other events, as well as search objects.

  • Patent number: 11297017
    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing access to digital media content within a conversational messaging environment, through the use of a conversational agent, generally referred to as a “bot”. A media content bot leverages a user's interaction with the bot, to access a media server, which in turn can determine one or more recommended items of media content that are appropriate for the user and/or their interaction. The recommended media content can be provided to the user, or to a media device, in the form of a link, playlist, or other type of reference by which the user can stream, download, access, or otherwise use the recommended media content. In accordance with various embodiments, the media content bot and media server can support atypical or other user inputs in addition to text inputs, for example the use of emojis, and respond accordingly.

  • Patent number: 11247001
    Abstract: A delivery device for use in administering a dry powder to a biological subject's airway is provided. The device comprises (a) a housing having an inlet in fluid communication with an outlet for delivering a flow of gas to the subject's airway; and (b) one or more cantilever structures located within the housing. Vibration of the one or more cantilever structures facilitates entry of the dry powder into the flow of gas, such that the dry powder can be delivered by the flow of gas through the outlet to the subject's airway. Also provided is a container for releasably storing a particulate composition, the container comprising a shell sealed by a seal in which the particulate composition is stored, wherein a puncturing device for rupturing the seal to release the particulate composition is housed within the shell. Further provided are associated methods for administering dry powder using the delivery device and/or container.

  • Patent number: 11128660
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing concurrent access to a resource via multiple user identities via a single client entity. A first authenticated session is established with an instance of a browser. The first session is associated with a first identity of a first user. A request to access the resource with an intermediate identity concurrently with the first session is detected. The intermediate identity is mapped to a target identity of a target user to be emulated. A second authentication session is established with the browser instance. The second session is associated with the intermediate identity. The request to access the resource is translated into a request to access the resource with the target identity. The translated request is forwarded to the resource. The response from the resource is translated to a response to the browser instance accessing the resource utilizing the target identity and returned to the browser instance.

  • Publication number: 20210225343
    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for association of a song, music, or other media content with a user's video content. The system enables a user to associate a song, music, or other media content that is associated with an audio clip and a song metadata of a media content, with a video they are about to create, or have created, to create a video moment. A recipient of the video moment can hear the audio clip in combination with the video content, and also view the song metadata overlay, to determine the name of the song and artist that was used in the video, or optionally access the song at a media server, for further listening by the recipient.
