  • Patent number: 11922564
    Abstract: A generative content system is disclosed. According to implementations, the generative content system generates literal representations of an environment based on data collected from a plurality of data sources that are selected in correspondence of the environment. In embodiments, the literal representations are used to generate a 3D rendering of the environment. In some embodiments, the generative content is used to support a location-based service system that locates devices based on a literal representation of an area as represented by the signal strengths observed throughout the area.

  • Patent number: 11548680
    Abstract: A system for locking together sheets of semi-rigid material. The system includes a clamp with a head having a clamp face, and a threaded rod having a first end affixed to the clamp face, and a second end that penetrates through the sheets. The system also includes a nut with a face forced into contact with the second side when tightened to the rod. The clamp face includes a gripping region, in a first circumferential position, with a trough and a hook that projects beyond the plane of the clamp face; and a leverage region, in a second circumferential position, that projects axially, so that, as the nut is tightened, the leverage region contacts the sheets' first side, and upon continued tightening, exerts a torque on the clamp head, elastically deforming the clamp so as to cause the hook to dig into the first side and prevent head rotation.

  • Patent number: 11449314
    Abstract: An application development editor displays in a graphical user interface a list or other arrangement of variations based on or applying to conditions in the application, each variation being associated with one or more changes in properties or events in the application. The editor enables a user to select a specific variation and then displays the user interface implications or consequences of that selection. Selecting a specific variation is programmatically equivalent to a specific conditional logic branch or ‘if . . . then’ code sequence. The invention enable someone with no, or very limited, code writing skills, such as a designer, to be able to produce an application with fully functioning, correct and potentially complex conditional logic.

  • Patent number: 11188390
    Abstract: A method for configuring a server kit includes establishing a communication session with an administrator device via a communication network and receiving one or more server configuration statements from the administrator device via an interface of the server management system. An initial server configuration is determined based on the one or more server configuration statements and one or more server instances are deployed to serve client application instances. The one or more server instances are configured based on the initial server configuration and one or more configuration update statements are received via the communication network. A server configuration update is determined based on the one or more configuration update statements and the one or more server instances are updated based on the server configuration update without recompiling the one or more server instances and while the one or more server instances are operable to continue serving the client applications instances.

  • Patent number: 11182580
    Abstract: A computer implemented method of fingertip centroid identification in real-time, implemented on a computer system comprising a processor, memory, and a camera system. The processor receives image data from the camera system; runs a first kernel comprising a set of concentric closed shapes over image data to identify an occupancy pattern in which internal closed shapes are at least nearly fully occupied, and in which a subsequent closed shape has at least a relatively low occupancy level, so as to identify one or more fingertips in the image data; for each identified fingertip, runs a second kernel over the identified one or more fingertips to establish a best fit closed shape which covers each identified fingertip; calculates a centroid for each best fit closed shape which corresponds to an identified fingertip; and stores in the memory the calculated centroids for the identified one or more fingertips.
