  • Patent number: 11403411
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a traffic analysis service that monitors a network obtains file metadata regarding an electronic file. The traffic analysis service determines a sensitivity score for the electronic file based on the file metadata. The traffic analysis service detects the electronic file within traffic in the network. The traffic analysis service causes performance of a mitigation action regarding the detection of the electronic file within the traffic, based on the sensitivity score of the electronic file.

  • Publication number: 20220201372
    Abstract: A live media streaming architecture with real-time live watermarking wherein watermarks are added at a frame or subframe level. The architecture can use a UDP/WebRTC architecture, without requiring a content delivery network, which is not dependent on transmitting media by segments, thus allowing insertion of the watermark at a frame or subframe level. By inserting watermarks at a frame or subframe level, latency is minimized for media delivery to under 500 milliseconds (ms) and for extraction to about five to fifteen seconds.

  • Publication number: 20220094729
    Abstract: A live media streaming architecture facilitates live interaction among multiple participants, such as viewers and stage performers for a show. A cluster of computers is responsible for generating, transmitting, and displaying a composed live stream, such as a grid, of one group of individuals, by mixing live streams from those individuals, that will allow them to interact with a stage performer or other contributors or other individuals during an event. The architecture can support receiving the live streams at a physical location of an event or other locations for centralized redistribution.

  • Patent number: 11266136
    Abstract: A spinner bait lure includes a wire harness having a line eye. A fishing hook is coupled to the wire harness. A spinner blade is rotatably coupled to the wire harness. A bead is rotatably coupled to the wire harness. Retrieval of the spinner bait lure through a water body causes the spinner blade and the bead to rotate. The spinner blade and the bead rotate about a common axis of rotation and a path of rotation of the bead intersects with the spinner blade. Therefore, the bead knocks into the spinner blade, causing deflection and noise.

  • Publication number: 20220026316
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for dislodging a cotton sample from a side surface of a cotton bale includes an air nozzle fluidly connected to a supply of pressurized air. Conveyors and/or a ram transport the bale adjacent the nozzle. A quick release valve in line between the nozzle and the supply of pressurized air is selectively openable for directing a burst of air through the air nozzle to the side surface of the bale and thereby dislodging a cotton sample from the bale side surface. A sample intake opening is located adjacent the bale side surface and below the air nozzle. An air vacuum is fluidly connected to the sample intake opening whereby the dislodged cotton sample is sucked into the intake opening and transported to a sample collection receptacle.

  • Patent number: 11206759
    Abstract: A mower comprising a vehicle, a plurality of cutting assemblies, and an automatic height of cut control system is described. In some aspects, the automatic height of cut control system is configured to automatically change the height of cut for the plurality of cutting assemblies while maintaining the attitude of each cutting blade as the blade moves from a first height of cut to a second height of cut. In some aspects, the cutting assemblies include a variable-length member linked to a four-bar linkage configured to cause a change in the height of cut in response to a change in length of the variable-length member.

  • Publication number: 20210121627
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes systems, methods, and apparatuses for dispensing a volume (e.g., a volume of liquid or medication) during intraosseous infusion. In some embodiments, a resilient member is used to bias a portion of an arm towards a contracted position with a force sufficient to depress a plunger of a syringe, and a damper is used to resist movement of the portion of the arm from the extended position toward the contracted position to control a rate at which the resilient member can move the portion of the arm from the extended position toward the retracted position, and thereby limit the rate at which a volume is dispensed from the syringe. In other embodiments, a flow control valve may be used instead of a damper to limit the rate at which a volume is dispensed from the syringe.

  • Publication number: 20210112102
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a service that monitors a network obtains file characteristic data of a file stored on a first endpoint in the network. The service infers characteristics of encrypted content within encrypted traffic in the network between the first endpoint and a second endpoint, by applying a machine learning-based classifier to traffic data regarding the encrypted traffic session. The service compares the file characteristic data of the file to the inferred content characteristics of the encrypted content within the encrypted traffic, to detect the file within the encrypted traffic. The service enforces a network policy in the network, based on the detection of the file within the encrypted traffic.
