Patent number: 11223659Abstract: A method and notification system for notifying broadcast streams to multiple users. A notifier receives, from a broadcaster, a request to notify a broadcast stream to the multiple users. The notifier receives preferences from a subset of users of two or more social networking systems. The preferences identify: (i) some but not all social networking systems of the two or more social networking systems which should send notifications about the broadcast stream to the subset of users; and (ii) times during which the notifications about the broadcast stream should be sent to the subset of users. The notifier instructs an agent representing a broadcaster in each social networking system of only the some social networking systems to send notifications about the broadcast stream to the subset of users at the times identified in the preferences.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2017Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: John Ham, Matthew Schlicht

Patent number: 10241733Abstract: An example disclosed method includes providing power transmissions from a power storage unit to a power converter of a printing device, the power converter to supply an available amount of power to a print mechanism, the print mechanism having separately controllable print elements; determining a required amount of power for an upcoming print operation that involves energizing the print elements, the print elements including a first group of the print elements and a second group of the print elements; when the required amount of power is less than or equal to the available amount of power, performing the print operation by simultaneously energizing the print elements; and when the required amount of power is greater than the available amount of power, performing the print operation by alternately energizing the first group of the print elements at first times and the second group of the print elements at second times.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2017Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: Zebra Technologies CorporationInventors: David L.

Patent number: 9813457Abstract: A notifier sends out notifications to potential viewers or listeners of a broadcast stream via social networking systems or other communication channels. The notifier stores information about a user's preferences and identity on the social networking systems. After the notifier receives a notification request from a broadcaster, the notifier commands broadcaster agents deployed in the social networking systems or in the notifier to send notification messages to users of the social networking systems registered to receive notification. The broadcaster agents function as a proxy that establishes relationships with users of the social networking systems and then sends out the notification messages to the users with established relationships.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2014Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: John Ham, Matthew Schlicht

Patent number: 9747062Abstract: Ethernet and Universal Serial Bus (USB) powered printing devices are provided. In particular, Ethernet and USB powered printers and methods of Ethernet powering of printers that support high speed printing and/or data intensive printing. Such high-speed and/or data intensive printing operations are able to be Ethernet or USB powered by providing for a power storage unit within the printer device that is able be charged during non-printing periods and provide for necessary energy bursts to support such higher powered processes. In addition, the present invention provides for devices and methods that allow for printers to operate with main power provided by conventional power mains and for back-up or secondary power to be supplied by Ethernet or USB power. Additionally, the invention provides for Ethernet or USB powering, both primary and back-up, of the data and configuration settings in the printer control and image generating electronics.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2015Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: ZIH Corp.Inventors: David L.
