  • Patent number: 10497028
    Abstract: Monetizing brand integration within online content may be facilitated. Parameter values for parameters describing characteristics of online content, access points, and/or producers may be obtained. The user may define search queries specifying parameter values of one or more parameters. In response to the user defined search query, the system may identify online content and/or access points having parameter values that satisfy the user defined search queries. The user may specify tasks for the identified content and/or access points. The user identified tasks may be related to brand integration. The system may effectuate presentation of the user specified tasks to producers that generate a portion of the identified online content and/or access points. Performance of the user specified tasks may be evaluated to determine an outcome. The outcome may include a quantity of a desired result and/or action. The system may distribute compensation to one or more producers based on the outcome.

  • Patent number: 10320697
    Abstract: In response to receiving TCP inbound message packets from a remote node, a network node buffers the received TCP message packets in a receive queue. The network node forwards the inbound message packets to an application node. Socket states, excluding receive-queue contents, are sent to a backup node. In response to receiving acknowledgements corresponding to respective inbound message packets from the application node, the network node sends respective acknowledgements from the network node to the remote node.

  • Publication number: 20190041939
    Abstract: In an example implementation, a method of power management, includes gradually increasing a compensation load in parallel with the device load to increase AC mains current up to a current set point prior to activating a device load. The method includes activating the device load, and upon sensing activation of the device load, decreasing the compensation load to maintain the mains current at the current set point.

  • Patent number: 9917706
    Abstract: An example device in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure includes a non-linear compensator, an interpolator, a demultiplexer, and a demodulator. The non-linear compensator is to correct a non-linearity of the input bitstream data to obtain linearized bitstream data. The interpolator is to convert a non-constant sample rate of the linearized bitstream data to obtain constant sample rate bitstream data. The demultiplexer is to demultiplex the constant sample rate bitstream data into a first waveform and a second waveform. The demodulator is to demodulate the first waveform and the second waveform.
