Patent number: 11964215Abstract: A toy vehicle track system of the present application includes electrical connections between the track pieces that allow a central hub, referred to herein as a “portal piece,” to communicate with any track pieces included in the track system. In order to ensure that the portal piece can quickly and accurately identify track configurations that are built, the toy vehicle track system implements a communications protocol that supports communications between any two pieces of track. Based on these communications, the portal piece can determine an orientation, a track type, and a position of any track pieces attached, whether directly or indirectly, to the portal piece. The portal piece can then transmit this information to an electronic device executing an application associated with the track system to allow for digital play on a digital version of the track configuration (among other digital play modes).Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Mattel, Inc.Inventors: Timothy Lynn Kelliher, Christopher D. Cimerman, Gerry Cody, Stephen C. Hallaian, Adam Miller, Jebraeil Samo

Publication number: 20240116247Abstract: An additive manufacturing system, and associated methods, comprise an image projection system comprising a plurality of image projectors that project a composite image onto a build area within a resin pool. The composite image comprises a plurality of sub-images arranged in an array. The properties of a sub-image and the alignment of the position of the sub image within the composite image can be adjusted using a set of filters comprising an irradiance mask that normalizes irradiance, and a gamma adjustment mask that adjusts sub-image energy based on a reactivity of the resin.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: Intrepid Automation, Inc.Inventors: Ben Wynne, Jamie Lynn Etcheson, Christopher Sean Tanner, Robert Lee Mueller, Ivan Dejesus Chousal

Publication number: 20240107984Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for interactive fetching for one or more participants, such as pets. In one implementation, a projectile, such as a ball, is received in a receiver and transported through an opening into a feeder of a randomizer. One of a plurality of chutes is randomly selected using gravity, and the projectile is transported from the feeder into the selected chute. The chute generates a smooth roll along a ramp to a port, from which the projectile is ejected along an ejection path for the participant to retrieve.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: iFetch, LLCInventors: Dennis W.

Patent number: 11868441Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting duplicate frames is provided. An automated duplicate frames detection service may extract one or more frames from content and determine a hamming distance between each of the extracted one or more frames and adjacent frames. In response to determining the hamming distance is less than a threshold hamming distance, the duplicate frames detection service may determine duplicate frames. In turn, the duplicate frames detection service may determine the duplicate frames are created without intent in response to determining the average distance between the one or more duplicate frames meets threshold criteria and provide an indication of the one or more duplicate frames without intent to a client device.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2021Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: NBCUniversal Media, LLCInventors: Michael S.

Patent number: 11838561Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling quality of content are provided. Programmatic ad buying may facilitate and expedite ad buying via an automated process. However, quality control via a conventional ad buying process is done with manual intervention. A confidence tool may request, from a programmatic content library of a content provider, to analyze a content tag associated with programmatic content. The confidence tool may determine whether the content tag meets confidence criteria (e.g., specifications of a content presentation service). The confidence tool may notify the content provider of whether the content tag meets the confidence criteria. Based on this notification, the content provider may approve the content to be run or reject the content to prevent problematic content from running on the content presentation service.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2021Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: NBCUniversal Media, LLCInventors: Michael S.

Patent number: 11122309Abstract: An apparatus, system and method for deactivating problematic secondary content are provided. This approach involves a deactivator component receiving data associated with an indication of a change to one or more secondary contents, a secondary content playback report, and/or a secondary content quality of experience (QoE) via data sources. After identifying the problematic secondary content, the deactivator component may request a secondary content provider to deactivate the problematic secondary content by deactivating a target resource associated with the secondary content instance, the secondary content, the secondary content unit, or the placement. In particular, the deactivator component may also provide feedback or reason for deactivating the secondary content.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2019Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: NBCUniversal Media, LLCInventors: Michael Levin, Christopher Lynn, Christopher Price, Richard Dale, Constantinos Hoppas, Gianna DiGiovanni, Alexandra Paige
