  • Patent number: 12262190
    Abstract: Various implementations include computer-implemented methods and related systems for controlling the phantom center image of an audio output in an automobile. In one implementation, a method includes: receiving at least one user interface command to modify a phantom center image of audio output from the audio system in the automobile, wherein the phantom center image of the audio output includes a designated position of sound produced by a set of speakers in the audio system other than physical locations of the set of speakers in the audio system; and adjusting a perceived location of the phantom center image of the audio output from the audio system based upon the at least one user interface command to modify the phantom center image of the audio output.

  • Patent number: 12164889
    Abstract: Techniques are described for enabling users of an information technology (IT) and security operations application to create highly reusable custom functions for playbooks. The creation and execution of playbooks using an IT and security operations application generally enables users to automate operations related to an IT environment responsive to the identification of various types of incidents or other triggering conditions. Users can create playbooks to automate operations such as, for example, modifying firewall settings, quarantining devices, restarting servers, etc., to improve users' ability to efficiently respond to various types of incidents operational issues that arise from time to time in IT environments.

  • Patent number: 11867365
    Abstract: An LED luminaire having a housing positionable at a structure location for providing illumination. At least one first LED light engine is located within the housing. The housing has at least one light output boundary and is configured to direct light therein toward the light output boundary. A light guide is configured to be located at the light output boundary to receive light contained within the housing to emit non-directional light at the light output boundary. The at least one first LED light engine includes at least one first LED light source providing directional light at the light output boundary. The first LED light engine includes a shroud adjacent the light guide providing directional light from the LED light source to a target location beyond the luminaire. The shroud structure provides an optical path from the LED light source through the light guide for providing non-directional light.

  • Patent number: 11802069
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods for processing a glass ribbon (22). A glass ribbon is supplied to an upstream side of a conveying apparatus (32) comprising a conveyor device and a pulling device (72). The conveyor device establishes a primary plane of travel (P) from the upstream side to a downstream side. The pulling device (72) is located at the downstream side and applies a pulling force on the glass ribbon (22) to convey the glass ribbon along a travel path that includes first, second and third bends (100, 102, 104), and into the primary plane of travel from a location downstream of the third bend and to the pulling device (72). At least one of the first, second, and third bends imparts a stress into a surface of the glass ribbon to flatten the glass ribbon. A viscosity of the glass ribbon at the third bend is greater than a viscosity of the glass ribbon at the first bend.

  • Patent number: 11714683
    Abstract: A playbook execution architecture used to efficiently execute playbooks by distributing the execution of playbook function blocks to multiple independent “worker” sub-processes is described. Each worker process hosts an independent execution environment used to execute playbook function blocks independently from other worker processes, where each worker process can host an execution environment that is the same as or different from execution environments hosted by other work processes, enabling the playbook execution engine to support function blocks written in multiple different programming language versions or programming languages entirely.

  • Patent number: 11671457
    Abstract: Techniques are described for providing on-premises action execution agents used to execute orchestration, automation, and response (OAR) actions in users' IT environments. An on-premises action execution agent can be used to execute actions involving computing resources located in users' on-premises IT environments, where such resources may be located behind a firewall and thus not directly accessible to an IT and security operations application running in a cloud-based environment or elsewhere. An intermediary secure tunnel service is used to establish secure connections between an IT and security operations application and on-premises action execution agents, thereby enabling the encrypted transfer of credentials, API tokens, and other sensitive information used by an on-premises action execution agent to execute actions. The executed actions can include on-demand actions initiated by a user and automated actions included, e.g.
