Abstract: A processing device has a plurality of interfaces and a plurality of processors. During different phases of execution of a computer program, different processors are associated with different interfaces, such that the connectivity between processors and interfaces for the sending of egress data and the receiving of ingress data may change during execution of that computer program. The change in this connectivity is directed by the compiled code running on the processors. The compiled code selects which buses associated with which interfaces, given processors are to connect to for receipt of ingress data. Furthermore, the compiled code causes control messages to be sent to circuitry associated with the interfaces, so as to control which buses associated with which processors, given interfaces are to connect to.

Abstract: A hat hanger has a hook, an L-shaped arm, and a J-shaped open loop, and the arm and loop are in different planes. The arm's proximal section connects to the hook's shank and extends to a bend in the arm opposite from the hook's head, and the arm's distal section extends from the bend to the arm's distal end. The loop's neck connects to the arm's distal section its distal end and is angled out of the plane of the arm to the plane of the loop which is defined by the loop's curved crown section that extends from the neck and turns inwardly back toward the proximal end of the arm. The nose is situated at an end of the curved crown section opposite the neck and spaced from the arm. The loop's neck, nose, and curved crown section bound an interior space which receives the hat's crown portion.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure include a video and audio sentiment analysis system. The video and audio sentiment analysis system can capture video and audio of workflows while a game developer is working on a game development tool. The video and audio sentiment analysis system can use speech-to-text transcription to log requests and suggest help for a game developer. The video and audio sentiment analysis system can capture the recordings for a time period before the error occurs to provide the support team with a recording of the steps that led to the concern. The video and audio sentiment analysis system can package the video stream, transcription of audio, and user interface recordings to the development team such that the support system can replay the scenario of the user to get a full picture of the user's actions and concerns.

Abstract: Provided is process including obtaining a plurality of estimates for a value of a real property from a plurality of users; calculating an aggregate estimate for the real property based on the plurality of estimates; receiving a request for the aggregate estimate from a remote computing device of a user; and sending the aggregate estimate to the remote computing device for display to the user.

Abstract: A hat system relating to reducing and/or eliminating physical interferences between hat bills and eyewear by the introduction of strategic hat bill cutouts along the periphery of the bill as a means for providing additional physical clearance for user-chosen eyewear. Additionally, users of the preferred hat system may also take advantage of bill cutouts as a means to secure eyewear on the face during sports, or other moments of high activity. Further, the hat system incorporates a camouflage covering to camouflage such strategic hat bill cutouts. Even further, the hat system provides unique design elements provided by geometrically-shaped bill cutouts in combination with, or without, coverings.

Abstract: A drawing tool is provided for assisting artists in transcribing images onto a blank medium. The device is a drawing frame of geometrical shape and has a plurality of notches disposed along the outer perimeter length. These notches are channels cut out of the edge, forming protruding segments between any two notches. Protruding segments are used as anchor sites for a series of elastic threads. A portion of the threads is wound around protruding segments disposed on opposing dies of the frame body, thereby stretching the elastic thread across the front surface of the frame body. A first grouping of the threads is secured in parallel lateral alignment, while a second group is secured in a parallel longitudinal alignment. This configuration presents a grid pattern that can be laid over an image or blank piece of paper to serve as a guide for transcription.
