  • Publication number: 20260121953
    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for utilization of contextual metadata for identifying network operation telemetry and events are provided. Contextual metadata is applied to router resource objects associated with network resources operating via network routers to and from user computing devices or systems. Telemetry data associated with operation of the network resources is streamed to a telemetry collector. Event logs including the contextual metadata may be stored locally with the user's devices or systems for viewing or may be sent remotely to a remote syslog server. At the telemetry collector or the syslog server, the contextual metadata is used to separate telemetry data and/or event logs on network resource identity basis so that operation of the network resources may be analyzed and reported.

  • Publication number: 20250225363
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to the field of Digital and Virtual Reality, addressing the deficiency in current technology for creating authentic digital replicas that faithfully capture user behaviors, emotions, metaphysical essence, and physical attributes of objects and environments. Existing technologies fall short in providing a comprehensive solution. This invention fills the void by offering a platform to generate precise digital replicas derived from data collected through wearable and external sensors. Users can then license or rent these replicas for diverse applications, such as connecting with deceased loved ones or evaluating products and experiences. Moreover, the invention facilitates the fusion of user essence with the physical characteristics of places and objects, enabling the creation of anthropomorphized and anomalous entities.

  • Publication number: 20230413003
    Abstract: The various systems and methods disclosed herein provide an enhanced audio experience in a virtual environment. In some implementations of the system and method for enhancing audio, a user forms a group with one or more desired audio sources in a virtual environment, and audio coming from sources outside of the group are filtered to become less obtrusive. In some implementations, causing non-group audio to become less obtrusive is accomplished by lowering its perceived volume.

  • Patent number: 11482394
    Abstract: A bidirectional gas discharge tube (GDT) includes a discharge chamber, first and second cathodes, a gas disposed within the discharge chamber, and a control grid. The first and second cathodes are disposed within the discharge chamber and include first and second faces, respectively. The first face and the second face are plane-parallel. The gas is configured to insulate the first cathode from the second cathode. The control grid is disposed between the first and second cathodes within the discharge chamber. The control grid is configured to generate an electric field to initiate establishment of a conductive plasma between the first and second cathodes to close a conduction path extending between the first and second cathodes.

  • Publication number: 20200388177
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system for assessing user interaction with a simulated reality environment. The system includes a user device, sensor(s), a computer readable instructions, and a processor. The sensor(s) detect user data associated a simulated real world task in the simulated reality environment related to at least one of biological indicator, user interactional input, and behavioral user activity. The processor is configured to cause display, on the user device, of the simulated reality environment configured for user interaction with the simulated real world task; receive, from the sensor(s), data related to the detected user data associated with the simulated real world task; determine, based on the received user data, a confidence grade for the user. The confidence grade is indicative of the user's confidence in performance of the simulated real world task within the simulated reality environment. The processor causes transmission of feedback related to the confidence grade.
