  • Patent number: 12058412
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to credit media segments shared among multiple media assets are disclosed. Example methods disclosed herein include comparing a sequence of monitored media signatures with a library of reference signatures to determine a signature match, the monitored media signatures representative of a monitored media presentation. Disclosed example methods also include determining duration and offset of the signature match, the offset to represent a position of the signature match relative to a start of a reference media asset associated with the signature match. Disclosed example methods further include crediting a segment of the monitored media presentation represented by the signature match to an identifier of a class of media assets including the reference media asset in response to a determination that (i) the duration of the signature match does not exceed a first threshold and (ii) the offset does not exceed a second threshold.

  • Patent number: 12055924
    Abstract: A state machine management component that executes on an edge device within an industrial facility is capable of discovering state machines defined on industrial controllers and translating the state machine definitions to information models that allow the state machines to be discovered and utilized by remote client applications. The edge-level information models allow the client applications to render or consume the state machine data generated by the controller, graphically render the state machines, submit commands, or set values, to the controller as state machine commands via the edge device. The edge-level system thus allows client applications with no prior knowledge of the control-level state machines to discover, retrieve, and interact with state machines defined on the industrial controllers.

  • Publication number: 20240251397
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, during a beam management procedure, multiple sets of channel state information reference signals (CSI-RSs). The UE may receive multiple CSI-RSs, wherein one CSI-RS of the multiple CSI-RSs is associated with one set of CSI-RSs of the multiple sets of CSI-RSs, and wherein a beam associated with the one CSI-RS corresponds to a beam associated with the one set of CSI-RSs. The UE may transmit multiple channel quality indicator (CQI) reports based at least in part on the multiple CSI-RSs, wherein one CQI report of the multiple CQI reports is based at least in part on the one CSI-RS of the multiple CSI-RSs. Numerous other aspects are described.

  • Publication number: 20240248979
    Abstract: An Identity and Access Management Service implements persistent source values PSVs) for assumed identities. A source value (e.g., an original identifier of an entity) is persisted across assumed identities, facilitating identification of entities (users or applications) responsible for actions taken by the assumed (e.g., alternative) identities. The Manager receives a request to assume an identity. The request includes the entities current credentials and a PSV. The current credentials are authenticated and a persistent source value policy may be relied on to determine whether and/or how to grant the assumed identity. The PSV may be copied from credentials in the request in order to be included in the credentials for the requested identity that the Manager provides in response to the request. Use of the requested credentials, including the PSV, to access services or resources may be logged, the logs including the PSV from the request to assume the identity.

  • Patent number: 12033664
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a tape drive comprising a tape head and control circuitry. The tape head comprises a plurality of data elements, each data element including a write transducer and a read transducer. The control circuitry is configured to control the tape head to write at least three different frequency preamble tones prior to writing data to data tracks of a tape. A different preamble tone is written to adjacent data tracks of the tape. The data elements of the tape head are each configured to read one or more preamble tones prior to writing data to or reading data from the tape. The control circuitry is then configured to extract a signal content from each preamble tone read by each data element, and determine an optimized positioning for the tape head with respect to the tape to reduce alignment errors.
