Patent number: 11954306Abstract: A system enables universal remote media control across multiple platforms, devices, and users. A protocol allows a cast controller to have access to media operations and a state(s) associated with media content. The system receives commands from a cast controller, provides the commands to a media player, loads new media content into the media player, based on the commands, and receives state notifications from the media player. Another cast controller can receive the state notifications from the media player and control the media player based on the media operations and state(s) associated with media content.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Mark David Scott, Mark Alan Foltz, John Affaki, Majd Bakar, Francis Tsui, Jennifer Shien-Ming Chen

Publication number: 20240110068Abstract: A thin oil film having parylene irregular dendritic-like columns extending from one side to another exhibits hydrophobic properties that can be used as a corrosion resistant coating or water-repellant, biofouling resistant surface. This parylene-in-oil layer can be paired with an adjacent layer of solid parylene that it overlays or underlays. The solid parylene cross polymerizes with the parylene dendrites, keeping them in place as well as the oil film. The parylene dendrites are fabricated by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of parylene over the oil layer, the dendrites self-forming from the bottom to the top. Continued CVD over the dendrites can produce a top layer of solid parylene. Etching the solid parylene away can result in a water repellant, anti-biofouling surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: California Institute of TechnologyInventors: Yu-Chong Tai, Kuang-Ming Shang, Haixu Shen, Ningxuan Dai, David Q.

Publication number: 20240086479Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, that identify and issue search queries expected to be issued in the future. A set of search queries that have been issued by multiple user devices can be obtained. For each query instance, contextual data can be obtained. A first query and its contextual data can be input to a model that outputs the query's likelihood of being issued in the future. The model can be trained using contextual data for training queries and a corresponding labels for the training queries. The learning model outputs the first query's likelihood of being issued in future, and this query is stored as a repeatable query if the likelihood satisfying a repeatability threshold. Subsequently, a stored repeatable query is issued upon a selection of a user selectable interface component and the search engine provides search results for the query.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Yew Jin Lim, David Adam Faden, Mario Tanev, Lauren Ashley Koepnick, Sagar Gandhi, William Ming Zhang

Publication number: 20230320622Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of medical monitoring, and in particular non-contact video monitoring to measure tidal volume of a patient. Systems, methods, and computer readable media are described for determining a region of interest of a patient and monitoring that region of interest to determine tidal volume of the patient. This may be accomplished using a depth sensing camera to monitor a patient and determine how their chest and/or other body parts are moving as the patient breathes. This sensing of movement can be used to determine the tidal volume measurement.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2023Publication date: October 12, 2023Inventors: Paul S.
