  • Patent number: 11709865
    Abstract: A system that provides for the accessing and playing of media files having differing associated rights such as non-DRM media files, purchased and downloaded media files, subscription download files such as tethered downloads, and subscription streamed DRM files. The system also provides a method and user interface for sharing a media collection among computing devices in communication via a network. The system allows access and playback, from each computing device on a network, of all media files in a media collection, regardless of their associated rights.

  • Patent number: 11587161
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for generating a human readable summary explanation to a user for an outcome generated by a complex machine learning model. In one embodiment, a risk assessment service can receive a request from a user in which a risk model of the risk assessment service performs a specific task (e.g., determining the level of risk associated with the user). Once the risk model determines the risk associated with the user, in order to comply with regulations from a compliance system, the risk model can provide a user with an explanation as to the outcome for transparency purposes.

  • Patent number: 11359049
    Abstract: The present invention provides novel methods and processes for polymerizing unsaturated substrates, such as alkyne bearing monomers, with arenes. The polymerizations are catalyzed by gold (Au) catalysts/complexes and/or other cocatalysts. The invention further provides novel structurally complex polymers prepared in high yield via an intermolecular polyhydroarylation mechanism. Such resulting products comprise oligomeric and polymeric materials with novel molecular architectures and microstructures, which subsequently impart unique properties. The invention includes both the synthesis methods and processes and the resulting compounds and compositions of matter.

  • Patent number: 11188981
    Abstract: A method may include obtaining unpaired transactions each including a transaction ID, an entity ID, and attributes that each correspond to an attribute type, deriving transaction groups by grouping the unpaired transactions using their entity IDs, and dividing a transaction group into a first transaction subgroup and a second transaction subgroup. The method may further include constructing a tree for the first transaction subgroup based on an attribute type, and matching a first transaction of the first transaction subgroup with a second transaction of the second transaction subgroup by searching the tree while applying a matching criterion to the transactions of the second transaction subgroup. The matching criterion may correspond to the attribute type. The method may further include: forming a matched transfer pair including the entity ID of the transaction group, the transaction ID of the first transaction, and the transaction ID of the second transaction.

  • Patent number: 10560114
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include an oversampling Analog to Digital Converter that uses uneven non-overlapping clock phases to reduce switched capacitor circuit power consumption. A return-to-zero sub phase of one of the clock phases may also be used for feedback reference capacitors. A delay lock loop may be combined with the non-overlapping clock phase generator to control accurate timing.

  • Patent number: 10505454
    Abstract: The overall performance of single input multiple output (SIMO) switching DC-DC power converters may be improved by controlling power and output switches to adjust inductor current delivered to one output while maintaining substantially constant the current delivered to other outputs, thereby reducing cross regulation interference across outputs. Power converter systems of this disclosure may be configured to calculate an inductor current value and a duty cycle value based on voltages at each of the voltage outputs. The power converter systems may be configured to control at least one main power switch to increase or decrease the current in the inductor based on the calculated inductor current value. Additionally, the power converter systems may be configured to control at least one output power switch to divert current from the inductor to one of the plurality of output nodes based on the calculated duty cycle value.

  • Patent number: 10249283
    Abstract: The handling of disturbances to audio signals may be improved with an adaptive noise cancellation (ANC) system that performs tone suppression and howl suppression in a collaborative manner. Such ANC systems may be configured to detect a first tone in an input signal at a first tone frequency and extract the detected first tone from the input signal. The ANC systems may also be configured to adaptively filter the extracted first tone to generate a second tone that has a magnitude that is approximately equal to a magnitude of the extracted first tone and a phase that is approximately opposite the phase of the extracted first tone. The ANC systems may be further configured to add the second tone to an intermediate signal that is based, at least in part, on the input signal to generate the output signal.
