Patent number: 11770431Abstract: A contribution encoder receives media from a source, encodes the media, and transmits the encoded media to a network-adaptive encoding system for eventual distribution to end users. The network-adaptive encoding system tests a network connection between the contribution encoder and the network-adaptive encoding system before transmission of the encoded media begins. The network-adaptive encoding system uses the results of the test to select appropriate values for parameters that define the encoding and transmission of the media. The selected parameter values are transmitted by the network-adaptive encoding system to the contribution encoder for use in encoding and transmitting the media.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2020Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Michael Reddick Coleman, Ryan Hegar, Kevin Moore, Jeffrey Lassahn

Patent number: 10812550Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for bitrate allocation for a multichannel media stream are disclosed. Complexity values are determined for individual channels of a set of channels of a multichannel media stream. The complexity values are determined based (at least in part) on frames of the individual channels during a window of time. The multichannel media stream is associated with a maximum aggregate bitrate, and the individual channels are associated with minimum individual bitrates and maximum individual bitrates. Individual bitrates are determined for the individual channels based (at least in part) on the complexity values. The sum of the individual bitrates does not exceed the maximum aggregate bitrate beyond a predetermined threshold, and the individual bitrates fall between the minimum and maximum individual bitrates of the corresponding individual channels.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2016Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Trevor Wells, Jeffrey Lassahn

Patent number: 10735338Abstract: An encoding or transcoding system uses hypothetical reference decoder occupancy data to at least calculate parameters for output buffers for data streams. An output thread receives HRD buffer occupancy data and calculates buffer occupancy based on duration, rather than absolute occupancy, and correlates the HRD buffer occupancy data with target durations for buffered packets prior to release from the buffer.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2019Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ryan Paul Hegar, Trevor Wells, Brian Lewis, Jeffrey Lassahn

Publication number: 20060171561Abstract: A wireless substrate-like sensor is provided to facilitate alignment and calibration of semiconductor processing systems. The wireless substrate-like sensor includes an optical image acquisition system that acquires one or more images of targets placed within the semiconductor processing system. Analysis of images of the targets obtained by the wireless substrate-like sensor provides position and/or orientation information in at least three degrees of freedom. An additional target is affixed to a known location within the semiconductor processing system such that imaging the reference position with the wireless substrate-like sensor allows the measurement and compensation for pick-up errors.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2006Publication date: August 3, 2006Applicant: CyberOptics Semiconductor, Inc.Inventors: Craig Ramsey, Jeffrey Lassahn, Greg Huntzinger, DelRae Gardner

Publication number: 20050224899Abstract: In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, a wireless substrate-like sensor is configured to ensure it does not contaminate a semiconductor processing chamber. The sensor is sealed except for one or more apertures. In one embodiment, a vent is disposed proximate the apertures. In another embodiment, the aperture is coupled to a pressure equalization member that deforms in response to a differential in pressure between the sensor interior and exterior.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2005Publication date: October 13, 2005Inventors: Craig Ramsey, DelRae Gardner, Jeffrey Lassahn

Publication number: 20050224902Abstract: In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, a wireless substrate-like sensor is configured to be low-profile. One exemplary low-profile design includes using an image acquisition system on a leadless ceramic carrier chip. Then a circuit board, or rigid interconnect, is provided with a recess to accommodate the image acquisition system. The image acquisition system is disposed within the recess and coupled to the board through the periphery of the leadless ceramic carrier chip.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2005Publication date: October 13, 2005Inventors: Craig Ramsey, DelRae Gardner, Jeffrey Lassahn
