  • Patent number: 12603072
    Abstract: The Easy application harmonica holder is a 1-piece harmonica holder that holds itself in place using leverage provided by the hook while engaged with the Microphone. It is placed over top of a microphone being supported by a microphone stand and microphone holder, that keeps the harmonica positioned directly in front of the microphone allowing the musician to play other handheld instruments, while playing the harmonica by mouth, simultaneously. The difference between this device, the Easy Application Harmonica Holder and prior harmonica holding devices is, it is 1-piece, and it does not require you to remove or add any parts or pieces to put it on the microphone or take it off. It mounts directly to the top of the microphone. It keeps the harmonica in place in a groove on the faceplate. It is limited to the popular raised-back-edge harmonicas.

  • Publication number: 20260038229
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, non-transitory computer readable medium, apparatus, and system for counting objects includes first obtaining a digital image. Then, embodiments segment the digital image using a first segmentation parameter to obtain a first region and a second region. Embodiments then segment the second region based on a size of the second region using a second segmentation parameter different from the first segmentation parameter to obtain a third region. Lastly, embodiments generate a count of objects in the digital image by incrementing based on the first region and the third region.

  • Publication number: 20260005943
    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards latency diagnostics for multiparty systems, such as a system comprising a communication network, a content delivery network (CDN), and one or more internet service providers (ISPs). A latency analyzer component can process latency data in response to a latency diagnostic trigger, such as an alert from a video quality monitoring system. The latency analyzer can determine whether latency is attributable to the communication network. If not, the latency analyzer can determine whether the latency is attributable to the CDN. If the latency is not attributable to the communication network or the CDN, the latency analyzer can determine that the latency is attributable to the ISP, and the latency analyzer can identify the ISP and generate appropriate reports and notifications.

  • Publication number: 20250291692
    Abstract: Computing system performance monitors provide on-chip control, selection, collection, coalescing and communication of behavior and other processing-indicating data of high performance single- and multi-die computing and processing systems, such as for use in multi-chip-module and/or multi-instanced graphics processing units (GPUs) and/or systems-on-chips (SOCs). Commands and data records can be forwarded between modules to abstract the processing system from profilers and other data report consumers. Quality of Service and security isolation for different command and data report streams is maintained.

  • Publication number: 20250166322
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes capturing images of a first user wearing a VR display device in a real-world environment. The method includes receiving a VR rendering of a VR environment. The VR rendering is from the perspective of the mobile computing device with respect to the VR display device. The method includes generating a first MR rendering of the first user in the VR environment., The first MR rendering of the first user is based on a compositing of the images of the first user and the VR rendering. The method includes receiving an indication of a user interaction with one or more elements of the VR environment in the first MR rendering. The method includes generating, in real-time responsive to the indication of the user interaction with the one or more elements, a second MR rendering of the first user in the VR environment. The one or more elements are modified according to the interaction.

  • Publication number: 20250131248
    Abstract: A processor-implemented method for multiplication approximation includes receiving inputs to be processed using an artificial intelligence (AI) compute engine. The inputs have a first precision. The AI compute engine is configured for processing in a second precision different from the first precision. A first parameter for the inputs and a second parameter for the AI compute engine are defined. The first parameter and the second parameter respectively indicate a first portion of the first precision and a second portion of the second precision to use for computation by the AI compute engine. The inputs and the second set of compute engine parameters are respectively adapted according to the first parameter and the second parameter to generate a first representation and a second representation. An approximation of an AI workload for the inputs is generated based on the first representation and the second representation.

  • Patent number: 11759988
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for establishing triggers for the opening of one or multiple gates to a mold cavity of an injection molding system, followed by a sequence of predetermined valve pin movements over the course on an injection cycle. In one embodiment, the invention provides a graphical user interface and control system enabling a user to select from and arrange a plurality of virtual icons into a user-defined virtual sequence that define associated triggering events and actuator controlled pin movements over the course of an injection cycle. In various embodiments, the apparatus and method allows the system operator to view a simulated profile of such triggers and movements and to compare the simulated profile to an actual profile to access differences and make adjustments to the triggers and sequencing more quickly and efficiently. This is particularly useful in sequential molding systems where multiple gates need to be programmed and adjusted to compensate for variations from a predetermined sequence.
