Publication number: 20250068493Abstract: Systems and methods to automatically provide graphics rendering optimization settings in real-time to a client device for rendering of graphics by a client application such as running on a browser or hand-held device. Specifically, a specially-configured Graphics Rendering Optimization Client application running on a client device sends requests to a corresponding Graphics Rendering Optimization Service running on a server system to obtain graphics rendering settings in real-time for rendering of graphics by the client application running on the client device, thereby providing automated and real-time graphics rendering optimization with little impact on the performance of the client application and client device. In certain embodiments, the Graphics Rendering Optimization Service employs an AI-based model that is trained and used to predict the graphics rendering settings in real time to improve the rendering performance.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2023Publication date: February 27, 2025Inventors: Anupreet Singh, Derek Brown

Patent number: 11884368Abstract: A method of launching an elongate subsea structure such as a pipeline bundle unit into water provides buoyant support to the structure by displacing water with a hollow buoyancy unit that applies buoyant upthrust to the structure. By lowering the buoyancy unit in the water to bring a permanently open aperture of the buoyancy unit beneath a surface level of the water, the buoyancy unit is flooded with water through the or each permanently open aperture to reduce the buoyant upthrust applied to the structure. A corresponding elongate subsea structure is also claimed.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2019Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: SUBSEA 7 LIMITEDInventors: Philip Derek Brown, Eric Fletcher McEwan

Patent number: 11739863Abstract: A bundle section of a subsea pipeline bundle has a rigid carrier pipe having an end closed by a transverse bulkhead and one or more fluid conduits in fluid communication with an opening that penetrates the bulkhead. Fluid coupling formations such as a spigot or a recess on an outer face of the bulkhead surround the opening. Leak-tight coupling between successive fluid conduits is effected when the bulkheads of two such bundle sections are brought together. This forces together opposed complementary fluid coupling formations of the bulkheads. The bulkheads connect the adjoining bundle sections fluidly and mechanically.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2017Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: Subsea 7 LimitedInventors: Philip Derek Brown, Robert Dicken

Patent number: 11165803Abstract: The technology disclosed includes a system to reduce clutter during graph presentation for security incident analysis. The system includes logic to score nodes potentially collapsed by equivalence, of indicated interest for security incident analysis, to prevent aggregation. The system includes logic to aggregate and hide equivalent nodes that have matching degrees, that are connected to matching nodes by matching edge types, and that have scores below a first selected threshold. The system does not collapse nodes that are interesting for security analysis and keeps them visible. The technology disclosed identifies chains of at least three nodes having degrees of 1 or 2, without branching from any node in the chain. The identified chains are collapsed into chain-collapsed single nodes. Two different cases of chains including whisker chains ending in a leaf node and chains connected at both ends to two other nodes are presented.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2019Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: Netskope, Inc.Inventors: Nigel Derek Brown, Raymond Joseph Canzanese, Jr.

Publication number: 20180128245Abstract: An electrical generation system includes a plurality of wind generators. Each of the wind generators extends upwardly out of a body of water. Each of the wind generators is rotated by wind thereby facilitating each of the wind generators to generate electricity. A platform is slidably coupled to each of the wind generators. The platform travels upwardly and downwardly along the wind generator when the body of water raises and lowers. A plurality of motion units is operationally coupled between an associated one of the wind generator and the platform. Each of the motion units converts the upward and downward motion of the platform into electrical energy.

Patent number: 9967309Abstract: Techniques for dynamically loading route and dependency information in a single-page application (SPA) that executes on a client device are provided. In one technique, a SPA includes a route handler that receives a requested route. The route handler determines whether the requested route matches any route in a list of routes. The only route that the request route may “match” is a wildcard route, which is associated with a function, when called with the requested route as input, causes a server request to be generated and transmitted from the client device to a server. The server responds with the requested route, dependency information for the requested route, and, optionally, one or more other routes, which may be “child” routes of the requested route. A module instance is generated based on the dependency information and loaded into the SPA.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2014Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Derek Brown, Abhishek Pandya, Zachary Mulgrew, Jordan Smith, Adam Miller, Asa Kusuma
