Patent number: 11500980Abstract: Techniques regarding managing one or more software application build processes are provided. For example, one or more embodiments described herein can comprise a system, which can comprise a memory that can store computer executable components. The system can also comprise a processor, operably coupled to the memory, and that can execute the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise a control component that can execute a freeze algorithm that modifies an incorporation of a software artifact within a software application build set.

Patent number: 10025785Abstract: In one exemplary aspect, a sorted list of scored media content episodes is received with a computing device of a user. Each respective media content episode is scored by an iterative autotuning prediction algorithm, and wherein each element of the sorted list of scored media content episodes comprises a value that represents a likelihood of a user listening to the respective media content episode and a reference to a location of the respective media content episode. A number of bytes of a download iteration for each media content episode is determined based on value that represents a likelihood of the user listening to the respective media content episode and an index of the respective media content episode in the sorted list. It is detected that a mobile device is in the preferred network. The download iteration is implemented for each media content episode when it is detected that the mobile device is in the preferred network.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2015Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Chris Cornelius, Dominic James Doran Hughes, Georgios Sofianatos, Gurumurthy D.

Publication number: 20170147533Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a novel method for generating a page that contains summaries of a number of documents. In some embodiments, the page includes several sections (e.g., rows). The method receives a set of documents to summarize. The documents in the received set are sorted in an order (e.g., based on relevance to a viewer of the page). In some embodiments, the method uses a layout generator to identify an arrangement of one or more document summaries for each section on the page.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2015Publication date: May 25, 2017Inventors: Steven Evergreen, Brian J.

Patent number: 9308048Abstract: A surgical glove has inner and outer surfaces. At least one of the surfaces is treated with a treatment consisting of a non-ionic hydrocarbon solution with a carbon chain in the range of 8-16 and containing a hydrophilic functionality with a pH within the range 4.5-6.5. After treatment, the treated surface or surfaces are dried, the glove packaged and then irradiated. The treatment controls the initial contact angle of the surface to be less than 70 degrees, so that liquid material will spread quickly across the treated surface or surfaces, thereby ensuring that the presence of the liquid, indicative of the glove having been compromised, is visible to the wearer or other observer as quickly as possible.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2010Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: Regent Medical LimitedInventors: Helena Venables, Simon Pickard, Gareth Hilton, James Doran

Publication number: 20140289881Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and compositions relating to a polynucleotide comprising a dsRNA region that is complementary to a particular region of the NS1 gene segment in the influenza virus genome that targets a sequence comprising two overlapping reading frames, one encoding NS1 and the second encoding the NEP polypeptide. Thus, the polynucleotide of the invention is able to target two message RNAs and is effective at inhibiting the replication of influenza virus in a cell.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2014Publication date: September 25, 2014Inventors: Timothy James Doran, Scott Geoffrey Tyack

Publication number: 20120082938Abstract: A method for producing a measurement structure for measuring alignment of patterns formed in one or more layers of patternable material uses multiple exposure tools having different resolution limits and maximum expose field sizes. The measurement structure includes multiple complementary and coincident parts. An abutting field pattern is exposed and stitched in a layer of patternable material using a first exposure tool and a first mask. The abutting field pattern includes a first portion of the multiple complementary parts. A periphery pattern is exposed in the same layer or in a different layer of patternable material using a second exposure tool and a second mask. The periphery pattern includes a second portion of the multiple complementary parts. A maximum expose field of the first exposure tool is smaller than the maximum expose field of the second exposure tool.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2011Publication date: April 5, 2012Inventors: Robert P.
