Patent number: 11995034Abstract: A method for generating and maintaining hierarchical tags with community-based ratings is provided. Tags for media streams are organized into a hierarchical format. Users may select tags from the hierarchical tag database that describes a particular multimedia content. If the user is unable to locate a desired tag, the user may submit a new tag. Upon submission of the new tag, a librarian approves the tag before storing and placing the tag in the hierarchical tag database. Users are also able to rate the quality of the association between the tag and the multimedia content. If a tag is rated low, the tag may be removed from the hierarchical tag database. If the tag is rated highly, display of the tag in a list of tags becomes more prominent.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2019Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: TiVo Solutions Inc.Inventors: James M. Barton, Brian Beach, David Platt, Kevin Smith, Michael Klar, Paul Stevens, David Chamberlin, Richard Lee

Patent number: 11954475Abstract: A system, method, and server for optimizing deployment of a containerized application. The system includes a machine and a server configured to receive optimization criteria related to the containerized application, the optimization criteria including affecting parameters, effected metrics, and stopping criteria. The server is further configured to transmit at least one value of the affecting parameter to the machine, receive results of a trial of the containerized application performed by the machine according to the transmitted at least one value, the results of the trial including an empirical value of the effected metrics, update an optimization model based on the trial results, compare the results of the trial and the updated optimization model to the one or more stopping criteria, and transmit an optimized one of the at least one value of the affecting parameters to the machine for deployment of the containerized application.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Gram Labs, Inc.Inventors: Jeremy Gustie, James Hochadel, Ofer Idan, Thibaut Perol, John Platt

Patent number: 10961084Abstract: A crop bucket having an aux-bail release mechanism wherein movement of the chains is restrained such that an auxiliary hook actuating the release mechanism can do so in a smooth and controlled manner from a variety of angles and positions, while reducing or eliminating bucket roll from offset pulling. The release mechanism can include a carriage configured to translate along at least a portion of a mast and operatively connected to first and second clamshell portions such that movement of the carriage away results in rotation of the clamshell portions toward the open position.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2018Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: Taylor-Winfield Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Anthony E. Scotto, Kenneth James Platt

Patent number: 9700360Abstract: The channeled bone plate includes a substantially rigid and elongated member for use in stabilizing and splinting fractured sections of a broken bone. This elongated member includes a bottom surface and a top surface, with at least one transverse channel formed from the bottom surface. The transverse channel has a size and shape to at least partially accommodate selective insertion of a cable to permit flush mounting of the bottom surface of the elongated member to the fractured sections of the broken bone simultaneously with flush wrapping of the cable around an external surface of the fractured sections of the broken bone. The elongated member and the cable cooperate to support the broken bone as an implant splint.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2014Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Inventor: James Platt

Publication number: 20050132651Abstract: A pet ventilation panel for a vehicle window opening is disclosed. The vehicle window opening is typically defined by a retractable windowpane movable within a window frame having upper, lower and opposed side frame members. The ventilation panel includes a selectively removable window insert formed from a single sheet of material. The insert has an upper edge adapted for engagement with an upper frame member of a vehicle window frame, and side edges adapted for engagement with side frame members of the vehicle window frame to cover at least a portion of the vehicle window opening. A central opening is defined by a continuous edge in the insert. The opening is sized and shaped to permit penetration thereof by the head of an animal disposed within the vehicle without permitting passage of the animal's body therethrough to prevent inadvertent escape from the vehicle by the animal. A mechanism is provided for maintaining the insert in position within the vehicle window opening.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2003Publication date: June 23, 2005Inventor: James Platts

Publication number: 20050004918Abstract: Populating a database, including providing a database having a schema; inferring from the schema dependencies among a fact table and related dimension tables; and inserting, in accordance with the dependencies, rows of data into the fact table and rows of data into the dimension tables. In typical embodiments, inferring dependencies further comprises selecting from metadata describing a schema for the database expressions of dependencies and inserting the expressions of dependencies into a dependency list. In typical embodiments, wherein inserting rows of data further comprises determining whether related dimension data exists for each foreign key in each row of data inserted into the fact table and for each foreign key for which related dimension data does not exist, inserting a row of dimension data into a dimension table related to the fact table through the foreign key.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2003Publication date: January 6, 2005Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventor: James Platt
