Patent number: 12229300Abstract: A media playback system for presenting to a user a composition of a plurality of media streams. It has a media selection component configured to receive a scenario dataset, to receive user input for selecting viewing times defining segments of media and composition selections, and to output a list of segments of media from the scenario dataset that are authorized to be viewed by the user. The system has a playback control component configured to retrieve from media storage at least the segments of media from the output list of segments, to decode the segments of media, and to compile composition instructions. The system has a media playback component configured to receive the rendered media and the composition instructions.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2023Date of Patent: February 18, 2025Inventors: Pierre Racz, Frederic Rioux

Publication number: 20250026445Abstract: A snowmobile including: a frame; an engine supported by the frame; an exhaust pipe connected to the engine; and a turbocharger connected to the exhaust pipe. The turbocharger includes a bypass conduit fluidly communicating with the turbocharger housing and including an exhaust inlet fluidly connected to the exhaust pipe; a valve in the bypass conduit for controlling the flow of exhaust gas, and an exhaust collector. The valve is movable between first and second positions, a first flow path passing through the exhaust inlet, through the bypass conduit, and into the exhaust collector, a second flow path passing through the exhaust inlet, through the bypass conduit, through the exhaust turbine, and into the exhaust collector, in the first position, a majority of the exhaust gas flowing along the first flow path and in the second position, a majority of the exhaust gas flowing along the second flow path.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2024Publication date: January 23, 2025Inventors: Michel LEFEBVRE, Roger RIOUX, Bruno SCHUEHMACHER, Sebastien THIBAULT, Luc CHAMPIGNY, Frederic DESJARDINS, Jonathan CLAVEAU, Roland ENNSMANN, Christian BERGER, Francois LEBOEUF

Patent number: 12155711Abstract: A method for routing media comprising, at one of a plurality of media devices placed on a local network deployed at a location being surveilled, each media device configured to generate media stream data as the location is being surveilled, detecting networked device(s) placed on the local network, the networked device(s) comprising gateway device(s) each having network connectivity to a cloud computing device, obtaining, based on the detecting, rule(s) from the cloud computing device and/or the gateway device(s), the rule(s) indicative of when the media stream data is to be routed via the gateway device(s) and when the media stream data is to be routed directly to the cloud computing device for processing, monitoring parameter(s) associated with the local network and/or an environment of the location being surveilled to determine whether the rule(s) is satisfied, and, when the rule(s) is satisfied, routing the media stream data according to the rule(s).Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2023Date of Patent: November 26, 2024Assignee: GENETEC INC.Inventors: Frédéric Rioux, Francis Lachance

Publication number: 20240348428Abstract: Technology permitting secure storage and transmission of data stream as well as tiered access to multiple data stream according to permission. Data streams may be encrypted using symmetric encryption performed with varying symmetric keys according to a key stream of symmetric keys. Native data may be discarded for safety. Whole or partial key streams may be encrypted using the public keys of authorized entities having permission to access respective data streams or portions thereof. Only the corresponding private keys can decrypt the encrypted key streams required to decrypt the encrypted data streams. Thus rigorous access control is provided. IT personnel accessing data stream files on a server or intruders maliciously obtaining files will not be able to derive the data stream. Sensitive data streams may be stored using cloud services despite inherent risks.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2024Publication date: October 17, 2024Inventors: Pierre Racz, Frederic Rioux

Patent number: 12093411Abstract: In one aspect the present invention disclose system for recording and handling media for use as evidence in legal proceeding. In one other aspect the present invention discloses a device for recording media for use as evidence in legal proceedings. In another aspect the present disclosure provides a server also referred to herein as an evidence vault or vault for handling media from a media recording device for use as evidence in legal proceedings. The all three aspects the invention benefit from a double layer symmetrical and asymmetrical encryption method to protect the media recordings of the device, the server and the system as a whole as well as the transmission of media between different components.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2022Date of Patent: September 17, 2024Inventors: Pierre Racz, Frédéric Rioux
