  • Patent number: 11789701
    Abstract: A multiplier circuit is provided to multiply a first operand and a second operand. The multiplier circuit includes a carry-save adder network comprising a plurality of carry-save adders to perform partial product additions to reduce a plurality of partial products to a redundant result value that represents a product of the first operand and the second operand. A number of the carry-save adders that is used to generate the redundant result value is controllable and is dependent on a width of at least one of the first operand and the second operand.

  • Publication number: 20230241502
    Abstract: Techniques for improving a graphical user interface are described. In an example, a computer system receives an activity identifier of an activity in a video game and correlated locations. It builds a map of the locations from completion data indicating completion of the activity, and location data indicating where the activity was completed in the video game by other players. The identifier can be predefined in program code of the video game. Data is processed to determine where the likely location is for completing the activity in the video game. This likely location is shown as a graphical user interface element in a map.

  • Patent number: 11707684
    Abstract: Computer implemented systems and methods for cross-platform consumption of in-game objects are provided herein. An exemplary method includes receiving by a data platform from at least one first device game object data discovered by a user while playing a video game associated with the data platform; attributing by the data platform a cross-platform identifier to the game object data; storing by the data platform metadata associated with the game object data to a database associated with the data platform, and receiving by the data platform from a second device associated with the data platform a request for access to the game object data and the metadata. The request may include the cross-platform identifier. The exemplary method further includes authenticating by the data platform the request based on the cross-platform identifier; and based on the authentication selectively providing by the data platform access to game object data and the metadata.

  • Patent number: 11659889
    Abstract: A midsole for an article of footwear including a three dimensional mesh including interconnected unit cells and methods of making the same. The interconnected unit cells each include a plurality of struts defining a three dimensional shape. The interconnected unit cells are connected at nodes having a valence number defined by the number of struts connected at that node. The valence number of the nodes may vary to provide customized characteristics to zones or portions of the midsole. The plurality of interconnected unit cells may be organized in a warped cubic lattice structure. The warped cubic lattice structure and the size/shape of interconnected unit cells may vary to provide customized characteristics to zones or portions of the midsole. The three dimensional mesh may be customized based on a biometric data profile for an individual, or group of individuals. The midsole may be manufactured using an additive manufacturing process.

  • Publication number: 20230041552
    Abstract: Techniques for improving a user video game experience are described. In an example, a computer system accesses videos showing separate completions of an activity by a plurality of video game players. From a definition of the activity, it is determined that the activity is a parent of sub-activities. Links to video portions of the videos are generated, wherein each video portion corresponds to a sub-activity. A score is generated for each video portion based on a relevance of each video portion to a user. The links are presented in a user interface to the user based on the score for each video portion, wherein upon selection of a first link, the user interface displays a first video to the user starting at a first video portion showing a completion of a sub-activity by a video game player.
