Patent number: 10887210Abstract: A system of assessing deployments in a network-based media system is provided herein. The system includes a data storage system storing observation vectors, each observation vector being associated with an outcome indicator, and a processing device in communication with the data storage system to receive and store observation vectors and associated outcome indicators. The processing device performs operations including communicating with an endpoint device of a user to obtain information associated with the endpoint device; and transmitting an instance of a variable user interface to the endpoint device for presentation to the user via the endpoint device based on the stored observation vectors, the stored associated outcome indicators, and the obtained information associated with the endpoint device. Related systems and methods are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2019Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: Netflix, Inc.Inventor: Carlos A. Gomez-Uribe

Patent number: 10885093Abstract: An apparatus for minimizing installation footprints of expansion cards may include one or more expansion cards that include a short edge, a long edge that is longer than the short edge and is substantially perpendicular to the short edge, and an edge connector disposed on the short edge. The apparatus may also include an expansion-card frame dimensioned to 1) guide an expansion card toward a printed circuit board of a computing device at a substantially vertical orientation such that the short edge of the expansion card is disposed proximate the printed circuit board of the computing device and the long edge of the expansion card extends away from the printed circuit board and 2) removably couple the edge connector disposed on the short edge of the expansion card to the printed circuit board of the computing device. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2019Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: Netflix, Inc.Inventors: Michael Todd, Ehtsham Elahi, Aish Fenton, Carlos A.

Patent number: 10467837Abstract: A local electronic voting network configured as a daisy chain network is provided. Each network device may include a switch for routing and propagating voting network communications. A TCP/IP protocol over Ethernet based connections may be used. Voting devices may include a relay configured such that in case of power down of a voting device the relay shunts the communications down the network. Multiple input/output ports may be provided on network devices and a physical port blocker is provided to block unused ports. A network controller may include a display screen which utilizes a graphical user interface to display status information regarding individual ones of the voting devices that are coupled to the voting network.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2016Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: Hart InterCivic, Inc.Inventors: Steven J.

Patent number: 6270204Abstract: An ink pen assembly of a continuous ink jet printer includes a printhead nest and an ink pen cartridge removably received within the nest. The cartridge includes a pen body in electrical communication with the printhead nest, and a nozzle body in fluid communication with the printhead nest. A charge electrode charges ink drops breaking off from ink jetted from an outlet of the nozzle body. A deflection electrode deflects the charged ink drops along an axis substantially transverse to a direction of travel of a substrate being printed. An ink block mount includes an ink blocking element for diverting deflected ink drops. An ink block actuator pivots with respect to the pen body to adjust the position of the ink blocking element. The printhead nest defines at least four ink outlets for delivering different colored inks, and at least four ink pen cartridges are removably received by the printhead nest.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 1998Date of Patent: August 7, 2001Assignee: Iris Graphics, Inc.Inventors: Douglas J.

Patent number: 5976897Abstract: Device leads on a packaged integrated circuit are protected during a decapsulation process. A composite material such as wax is applied to coat the leads. At least a portion of a package containing the integrated circuit is then removed while the composite material is coating the leads, the coated leads being protected from fumes associated with the decapsulation process and less susceptible to deformation during handling. The composite material is then removed from the leads after the portion of the package is removed from the packaged device.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 1997Date of Patent: November 2, 1999Assignee: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.Inventor: Carlos A.
