Publication number: 20240089308Abstract: Methods and systems are described for content delivery. A user of a first computing device that is playing back content may want to transfer or cast the content to a second computing device. When the first computing device receives the request to cast the content to the second computing device, the content may continue to be received and played back by the first computing device while it establishes a seamless transition to the second computing device. The first computing device may contact the content origin and send to the second computing device a manifest file that instructs the second computing device to request an initial portion of the segments of the content from the first computing device. The content origin may then process the cast request from the first computing device and begin providing subsequent segments of content to the second computing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Nicholas Mandato, John Bieberly, Jonathan Kirkovich, James Rupert, Christopher Weaver

Patent number: 11653059Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for preventing and/or discouraging access by children and/or other persons to restricted content and/or other information. Some users may have different hearing and may be able to hear sounds at different, for example higher, frequencies than other users. Users may also wish to discourage and/or prevent other users from consuming restricted content. A sound output at a high frequency may be used to disrupt the viewing experience of a user that is not permitted to consume restricted content. The high frequency sound may cause the user that is not permitted to consume restricted content to leave an environment where the content item is output. The high frequency sound may be inaudible to users that are permitted to consume restricted content. The high-frequency sound may discourage and/or prevent some users from consuming restricted content without disrupting the user experience of other users.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2021Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventors: Jonathan Kirkovich, John Bieberly, Nicholas Mandato, Christopher Weaver, James Rupert

Patent number: 9814174Abstract: Disclosed is an air filtration module for seed planters. The filtration module includes a filter cartridge with a filter media disposed therein. The cartridge is sized and shaped to fit into the stock seed hopper. The filter media is configured to filter out and contain particles of seed coating materials that contain neonicotinoids and/or other airborne contaminants. The filter cartridge can replace the porous seed container wall through which compressed air is discharged out the seed hopper air discharge vent.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2015Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: JPS Ag, LLCInventors: Jeffrey David Noack, Peter James Rupert, Stephen Gerard May

Patent number: 9578044Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for detecting anomalous advertising content and taking or directing one or more actions to be taken to mitigate risk associated with anomalous advertising content. The anomalous advertising content indicates a deviation from an expected state of the advertising content. Various measures may be taken to determine whether the anomalous advertising content is reflective of malware.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2014Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Keerat Singh Sharma, James Rupert William Phillips, Ankit Rajiv Kuwadekar

Publication number: 20060108303Abstract: A storage device allows for the storage of items (such as garments and the like) in an upper area of a wall that is generally otherwise inaccessible without use of an access aid. The storage device features a frame having a storage support is pivotably secured to the vertical face of a wall which moves between an elevated position wherein the storage support is elevated with respect to the wall and a lowered position wherein the storage support is at a height that is easily accessible. The storage device further includes balancing means (for example, one or more gas struts or the like) that urges the frame towards the elevated and lowered positions. Optionally, the storage device further includes a torque-adjusting device that increases or decreases the torque exerted against the balancing means, thereby adjusting for various loads such that the storage device moves in a predefined manner.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2005Publication date: May 25, 2006Inventor: James Rupert
