Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for leveraging user premises supplied electric power to power active components in an information delivery network. In response to one or more conditions, an active component may switch an input power path from using grid-supplied or battery power to draw power from a user premises. The decision to switch the power path may be based on a number of conditions, for example, whether power is available from the grid, the relative cost of power from the user premises and whether the power from the user premises includes power from a renewable source.

Abstract: This application describes methods, systems, and apparatus for allowing a user to easily determine whether the user and/or other user(s) have viewed content. For example, a program guide may display one or more graphics associated with the content (e.g., a movie poster), and in response to determining whether the user has viewed the content, the program guide may include an indication of whether the user has viewed the content. The program guide may include indications associated with multiple users (e.g., different colors, icons, graphics, or text). The program guide may filter the content based on whether the user has viewed the content (e.g., only display content the user has not viewed). A computing device storing the content may manage recording of the content based on whether the user has viewed the content (e.g., delete the recording if the user has viewed the content). A viewing history of the user may be maintained.

Abstract: Primary content can be provided to a first device, wherein the primary content can comprise at least a first portion and a second portion. A provider can determine a user parameter related to secondary content, interspersed with the first and second portions of the primary content, and can provide the secondary content to a second device instead of to the first device, based on the user parameter. The provider can provide the second portion of the primary content to the first device immediately following the first portion of the primary content.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for determining a video resource allocation for outputting content via a display. The video resource allocation may be determined based on priorization data that priorities different areas of the content. A greater portion of resources for outputting the content may be allocated to different areas of the content based on the priorization of data.

Abstract: Motion detection computing devices may have difficulty determining precise motions of a user who suffers from unintended movement, such as tremors, associated with a physical or medical condition. Aspects described herein relate to motion compensation for detected motion input, e.g., 3D motion, from such users. As described herein, a system may detect the presence of rhythmic motion and/or other input characteristics within captured motion input from a user. The system may determine one or more filters to apply to the captured motion input based on the rhythmic motion, other input characteristics, and/or information in a user profile. The one or more filters may be applied to the captured motion input in order to suppress or minimize the effects of the rhythmic motion and/or other input characteristics thereby resulting in an enhanced user experience in an interactive system, such as a 3D, virtual and/or augmented reality environment.

Abstract: Access devices may receive signals over a network and calculate a frequency spectrum of the received signals. An analyzer system may collect the frequency spectrum data from multiple access devices, and based on the collected data, detect, identify, and locate sources of anomalies in a communication network.

Abstract: A data processing system for machine-learning driven data analysis and reminders implements obtaining an electronic copy of demographic information and an electronic copy of insurance and benefits information associated with a user; providing the demographic information and the insurance and benefits information to a first machine learning model; analyzing the demographic information and the insurance and benefits information with the first machine learning model to output a first benefits utilization prediction that the one or more benefits are available to the user; providing the first benefits utilization prediction as an input to a recommendation engine; generating, using the recommendation engine, a benefits usage summary recommendation report that presents the information regarding the one or more benefits available to the user based on the first benefits utilization prediction; and causing a user interface of a display of a computing device to present the benefits usage summary recommendation report.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an appliance. In one embodiment, the appliance has an enclosed structure which includes a first portion configured to receive one or more meal cartridges, and store and preserve the meal cartridges at a selected temperature range; a second portion; and transfer mechanism configured to transfer at least one meal cartridge in the first portion to the second portion within the enclosed structure in response to a command input for cooking the at least one meal cartridge. The second portion is configured to accept the at least one meal cartridge, receive a cooking instruction command including a cooking duration and temperature determined for the at least one meal cartridge, and cook the at least one meal cartridge based upon the cooking duration and temperature.

Abstract: The present invention relates to bifunctional compounds, which find utility as modulators of targeted ubiquitination, especially inhibitors of a variety of polypeptides and other proteins which are degraded and/or otherwise inhibited by bifunctional compounds according to the present invention. In particular, the present invention is directed to compounds, which contain on one end a VHL ligand which binds to the ubiquitin ligase and on the other end a moiety which binds a target protein such that the target protein is placed in proximity to the ubiquitin ligase to effect degradation (and inhibition) of that protein. The present invention exhibits a broad range of pharmacological activities associated with compounds according to the present invention, consistent with the degradation/inhibition of targeted polypeptides.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for displaying content. In an aspect, a plurality of content items can be displayed on one user device according to user preference. An example method can comprise positioning a first set of pixels associated with a user device so that first content displayed via the first set of pixels can be viewable in a first viewing location. A second set of pixels associated with the user device can be positioned so that second content displayed via the second set of pixels can be viewable in a second viewing location. The second content can be different from the first content.
