Patent number: 11968419Abstract: An apparatus, method, system and computer-readable medium are disclosed for, in one aspect, determining when a trigger, such as an application trigger, should be generated. In some embodiments, the application trigger may be generated when a frame included in a feed (e.g., a content feed) matches a specified or indicated frame. In some embodiments, a comparison between the feed and the specified or indicated frame may be based on one or more tolerances or thresholds. In some embodiments, the feed may be split and content (e.g., video) obtained via the split may be combined (e.g., multiplexed) with a trigger. The combined content and trigger may be transmitted to one or more devices, such as one or more user devices.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventor: Darren Sargent

Publication number: 20230025388Abstract: A system and method of combining and improving sets of diverse prescriptors for Evolutionary Surrogate-assisted Prescription (ESP) model is described. The prescriptors are distilled into neural networks and evolved further using ESP. The system and method can handle diverse sets of prescriptors in that it makes no assumptions about the form of the input (i.e., contexts) of the initial prescriptors; it relies only on the prescriptions made in order to distill each prescriptor to a neural network with a fixed form. The resulting set of high performing prescriptors provides a practical way for ESP to incorporate external human and machine knowledge and generate more accurate and fitting set of solutions.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2022Publication date: January 26, 2023Applicant: Cognizant Technology Solutions U.S. CorporationInventors: Elliot Meyerson, Risto Miikkulainen, Olivier Francon, Babak Hodjat, Darren Sargent

Publication number: 20060033378Abstract: A bin 1 mounted on wheels is disclosed. The bin 1 comprises a support 2 having a pair of wheels 3 mounted there to. The support 2 also has a brake that can be selectively engaged by an operator to brake the wheels. A bin container 5 is rigidly mounted on the support 2. The bin container 5 comprises a front and a rear 10 and 12 and two sides 13, 14 extending between the front and the rear. The rear 12 forms a tailgate that is capable of being moved from a closed position in which it closes off the front and sides and an open position in which it defines an opening in the wall. Material such as soil or refuse can be loaded into the bin container 5 and discharged from the bin container through this opening. The bin 1 includes a draw pole 25 for attaching it to a towing vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2005Publication date: February 16, 2006Inventors: Darren Sargent, David O'Brien
