Publication number: 20240045665Abstract: A manufacturer (120) of a device (140) uses a tester image (134) from a cloud service (130) when configuring test equipment (150) for testing of a device (140) being manufactured, and the device (140) contacts the cloud service (130) and installs firmware or software (146) based on a device image (132). A vendor or developer (110) can change or update the images (132, 134) to update a manufacturing process without needing the manufacturer (120) to have special training or knowledge. Further, the cloud service (130) can receive test results from the manufacturer (120) and may record access to image (132), enabling the vendor (110) to monitor manufacturing of the device (140).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2021Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventors: SIAMAK NAZARI, JOHN DICKINSON, SHAYAN ASKARIAN NAMAGHI

Publication number: 20230106936Abstract: A computing system generates an interactive game space for predicting an outcome of an event during a live game. The computing system identifies a prediction event in the live game. The computing system receives event data for the live game up to the prediction event. The computing system identifies pre-game player specific data for each player involved in the prediction event. The computing system generates a probability distribution for a set of possible outcomes for the prediction event based on the event data and the pre-game player specific data. The computing system presents the probability distribution to a user participating in the interactive game space. The computing system receives a proposed outcome for the prediction event from the user participating in the interactive game space. The computing system determines that the proposed outcome was correct. The computing system grants points to the user within the interactive game space.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2022Publication date: April 6, 2023Applicant: STATS LLCInventors: Daniel Richard Dinsdale, Christian Schober, David Grimm, John Dickinson, Andrew Skweres, Christian Marko, Patrick Joseph Lucey, Hayley Redgate
