Abstract: Information associated with a controlled-environment facility resident communications and/or data device, such as device location within the controlled-environment facility, may be used to determine whether the resident device is approved for two-way video visitation or restricted to on-way video visitation. Video visitation may be initiated and voice and video captured and streamed by a non-resident communications and/or data device, as well as voice and/or video captured and streamed by the resident device, is received by a controlled-environment facility electronic communications management system. Voice and video captured at the non-resident device is transmitted to the resident device and, if the resident device is permitted two-way video visitation, voice and video captured by the resident device is transmitted to the non-resident device, if the resident device is restricted to one-way video visitation, only voice is transmitted to the non-resident device.

Abstract: A method of managing energy in an energy consuming and storage system includes the step of measuring the frequency or voltage of the electricity supply over a period and permitting excess energy to be stored in one or more assets in the system when the frequency or voltage of the supply exceeds a pre-set maximum or ceasing taking energy from the supply when the frequency or voltage of the supply falls below a pre-set minimum.

Abstract: A communication device may be assigned to a resident of a controlled-environment facility. A data network interface of the resident device establishes a connection with a resident network via one or more network access points located within the facility. A tracking network interface of the resident device transmits location tracking signals received by location tracking devices located within the facility. The resident device connects with the resident network via the data network interface in providing services to the resident. During intervals when the resident device is not connected to the resident network via the data network interface, tracking network interface is used to transmit the location tracking signals.

Abstract: A system of content/query feature based data structure retrieval of predicted values is provided. The system can create a data structure having a plurality of rows corresponding to individual content/query features and a plurality of columns corresponding to individual predicted values. The processors can obtain a set of session features associated with a selection by a computing device in response to a query, and a set of content/query features associated with the selection of the content item. The processors can retrieve, from the data structure, a set of predicted values for each of the set of content/query features. The processors can generate, for each of the set of content/query features, a set of aggregate predicted values for each of the set of content/query features, and can include the set of aggregate predicted values in the data structure.

Abstract: Systems and methods for recording full quality audio and/or video from a plurality of parties, while also facilitating a real-time conversation or other interaction over low-bandwidth network links are provided. A voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) conversation, or other type of session, is facilitated between two or more parties using methods that reduce sound or video quality to achieve a low-latency connection. During the VoIP conversation, or other type of session, the audio and/or video from each party is recorded directly onto a storage medium of their respective device and stored as one or more data files. These data files can be generally unmodified, or merely lightly modified or compressed, resulting in a higher quality recording of the audio and/or video as compared to the audio and/or video that was transmitted to the other party during the session. The data files are then merged to create a final merged high-quality composite recording of the session.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention include a locking mechanism for a sliding barn door. The locking mechanism, for example, may include a lock mechanism. The locking mechanism may include a base configured to couple with a sliding barn door; an external handle; a connecting rod having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of the connecting rod coupled with the external handle; a latch mechanism coupled with the connecting rod; and a locking mechanism disposed within the external handle. The locking mechanism may be configured to lock the external handle from rotating relative to the base such that when the locking mechanism is in a locked configuration the external handle and the rod do not rotate relative to the base, and when the locking mechanism is in an unlocked configuration the external handle, rod, and locking mechanism rotate relative to the base.

Abstract: Some embodiments may also include a locking mechanism for a barn door, the locking system comprising: a locking mechanism body; a lock chamber configured to slide into the locking mechanism body in a locked configuration, and configured to slide out of the locking mechanism body in a first direction in an unlocked configuration; and a locking pin coupled with the lock chamber, the locking pin configured to slide outward in a second direction opposite the first direction in the locked configuration, and configured to slide inward in the unlocked configuration.

Abstract: Systems and methods for separation of hydrocarbon containing fluids are provided. More particularly, the disclosure is relevant to separating fluids having a gas phase, a hydrocarbon liquid phase, and an aqueous liquid phase using indirect heating. In general, the system uses a first gas separation followed by pressure reduction and then a second gas separation. Indirect follows the second gas separation and then three-phase separation.

The system can create a data structure having a plurality of rows corresponding to individual content/query features and a plurality of columns corresponding to individual predicted values. The processors can obtain a set of session features associated with a selection by a computing device in response to a query, and a set of content/query features associated with the selection of the content item. The processors can retrieve, from the data structure, a set of predicted values for each of the set of content/query features. The processors can generate, for each of the set of content/query features, a set of aggregate predicted values for each of the set of content/query features, and can include the set of aggregate predicted values in the data structure.

Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and host device that receives, at a routing interface, a request from a transmission control protocol (TCP) connection with a stateful network device. A media access control (MAC) address of the stateful network device is determined and the MAC address and the routing interface are stored as associated with information for the TCP connection in a per-connection routing table. The request is sent to one of a plurality of virtual machines, a response is received from the one of the virtual machines, and the MAC address and routing interface are retrieved from the per-connection routing table based on a comparison of information included in the response to the information for the TCP connection. The response is sent to the stateful network device using the retrieved MAC address and routing interface.

Abstract: A system obtains a first parameter (QP1) associated with a quality of an advertisement among multiple advertisements, where the first quality parameter (QP1) does not include a click through rate (CTR). The system functionally combines the first quality parameter (QP1) with at least one other parameter and uses the functional combination to filter, rank or promote the advertisement among the multiple advertisements.
