Publication number: 20240095222Abstract: A system, apparatus, and related methods for the collection, standardization, evaluation, and processing of entity life and care information from diverse information systems and sources. After collection, the life and/or care data and information contained in a particular message is transformed, which includes being standardized, processed, evaluated, and converted, into a Curated Manifest (CM), a persisted and immutable document compatible with the particular configuration and design of the ILR platform/system in a specific context. The CM is stored in one or more databases, along with a multiplicity of other CMs. Contextual Best Record (CBR) views, which may be standard, pre-established views or views constructed “on-the-fly” or “on demand”, are used to find, locate, identify and report responsive data from the stored CMs.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: RALPH A.

Patent number: 11936499Abstract: Apparatus and methods of managing a virtual area based on communicant capabilities are described. The communicant capabilities are updated based on rules in response to events in the virtual area. An action by one communicant can affect the capabilities of another communicant. Communicant capabilities can be stored in respective server-side proxies and the virtual area can be managed without transmitting any of the capabilities to the communicants' client network nodes. Capability-based permissions checks can be performed against communicant capabilities with wildcarded attribute fields.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Sococo, Inc.Inventors: Robert J.

Patent number: 11854366Abstract: The present disclosure provides a leak monitoring system and associated method which is being configured to detect plumes of volatile organic compounds (VOC) as an alternative solution to the EPA Method 21, which measures VOC concentrations at the surface of each component. The leak monitoring system is a multi-layered system that includes monitoring performed by sensors that are fixed in place and sensors that are mobile. Each monitoring method is a layer and it complements and augments other layers. All the sensors wirelessly communicate with a central control through a gateway. The control unit further includes a software platform, which analyzes the data provided by the sensors in combination with other informetrics such as meteorological conditions and plant info to both identify the presence of a gas leak and to pinpoint a general location of the gas leak.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2020Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Inventors: Eben Daniel Thoma, Deborah Lynn Preschler, Roger John Hilarides, Debra Jean Cartwright, Michael Stephen Clausewitz, Barry William Kelley, David Randall Massner, Wenfeng Peng, Marko Frank Spiegel

Patent number: 11698549Abstract: A multi-view (MV) display panel includes a flat panel display (FPD) having FPD pixels, and lenses configured to image the FPD. Each of the FPD pixels, when imaged through one of the lenses, forms a beamlet that is emitted in a direction unique from other beamlets formed by other FPD pixels through the lens. The lens and the FPD pixels which, when imaged through the lens, form beamlets emitted in different directions collectively configure an MV pixel. Each of the FPD pixels includes multiple sub-pixels. The MV display panel also includes a diffuser arranged between the FPD and the lenses, and a light block configured to isolate a diffusion of the multiple sub-pixels of each FPD pixel from its neighboring FPD pixels. The FPD may be backlit using custom lighting and optics. Lens elements may be staggered in a manner that facilitates assembly of the lenses.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2021Date of Patent: July 11, 2023Assignee: Misapplied Sciences, Inc.Inventors: Albert Han Ng, David Steven Thompson, David Randall Bonds

Patent number: 11589058Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for multiplexing a dynamic bit-rate video stream with an audio stream received by a client device in a manner that allows the resulting multiplexed stream to be played back without disruption, despite dynamic changes in the bit rate of the video stream that may occur. A content server may stream both a video stream and an audio stream to a client device for playback. The client device may multiplex the video and audio streams prior to them being presented to a playback engine for decoding and playback to a user.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2019Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: NETFLIX, INC.Inventors: David Randall Ronca, Chung-Ping Wu, Yung-Hsiao Lai
