Publication number: 20260211919Abstract: Disclosed embodiments may provide systems and methods for generating a narrative feed. The computer-implemented method can also include extracting a set of narrative-feed objects from a plurality of unstructured data items, in which a narrative-feed object of the set of narrative-feed objects identifies contextual data associated with a corresponding unstructured data item. In some instances, each narrative-feed object of the set of narrative-feed objects includes a set of object-classification signals. The computer-implemented method can also include determining, for each narrative-feed object of the set of narrative-feed objects, signal intensities associated with one or more object-classification signals of the set of object-classification signals. The computer-implemented method can also include determining, for each narrative-feed object of the set of narrative-feed objects, a risk score based on the signal intensities.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2026Publication date: July 23, 2026Applicant: SocialTrendly, Inc. d/b/a Blackbird.AIInventors: Naushad UzZaman, Paul Burkard, Roberta Duffield, Vanya Cohen, John Wissinger

Publication number: 20260212283Abstract: Disclosed embodiments may provide techniques for focusing attention to priority narratives. A computer-implemented method can include receiving input data identifying one or more characteristics associated with a target domain. The computer-implemented method can also include processing a corpus of unstructured data using the input data to generate a set of priority narratives associated with the target domain. The computer-implemented method can include determining, for each of the set of priority narratives, one or more propagation paths of the priority narrative across a digital communication network.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2026Publication date: July 23, 2026Applicant: SocialTrendly, Inc. d/b/a Blackbird.AIInventors: Paul Burkard, Naushad UzZaman, John Wissinger, Wasim Khaled

Publication number: 20240249081Abstract: Disclosed embodiments may provide techniques for generating customizable content based on extracted insights. A computer-implemented method can include accessing input data that includes initial content. The computer-implemented method can also include determining a content format of customized content to be generated by processing the input data. In some instances, the content format specifies how the customized content is to be formatted for a target recipient. The computer-implemented method can also include generating one or more prompts to be processed by a content machine-learning model for generating the customized content. The one or more prompts can be generated based on the input data and the content format. The computer-implemented method can also include applying the content machine-learning model to the one or more prompts to generate the customized content. The computer-implemented method can also include outputting the customized content.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2024Publication date: July 25, 2024Applicant: SocialTrendly, Inc. d/b/a Blackbird.AIInventors: Naushad UzZaman, Paul Burkard, John Wissinger, Wasim Khaled

Patent number: 10219052Abstract: An embodiment method for managing connections on a communications network having an optical network portion includes receiving a request for a first connection at a controller in signal communication with one or more reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexers (ROADMs) controlling an optical network portion of a communications network, wherein the controller is connected to the communications network. The controller determines a route on the communications network for the first connection according to conditions of the communications network, with the route comprising one or more first links of the optical network. The controller determines one or more first ROADMs controlling the one or more first links and sends commands from the controller to the one or more first ROADMs to allocate bandwidth on the one or more first links.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2017Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignees: FUTUREWEI TECHNOLOGIES, INC., THE ARIZONA BOARD OF REGENTS ON BEHALF OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONAInventors: Jiafeng Zhu, Jun He, Likun Lin, Weiyang Mo, Saied Agahi, John Wissinger

Publication number: 20050200253Abstract: A latching arrangement for a refrigerator positively latches a door of the refrigerator. The refrigerator includes a housing. The door pivotally coupled to the housing. A striker is connected to the housing. The latching arrangement is carried by the door. The latching arrangement includes a handle and a pawl. The handle is connected to the door for movement between a first position and a second position. The handle defining at least one cam surface. The pawls is connected to the door for movement between a latched position engaged with the striker for securing the door in a closed position and an unlatched position allowing the door to be pivoted from the closed position. The pawl includes a cam follower that cooperates with the at least one cam surface such that movement of the handle from the first position to the second position moves the pawl from the latched position to the unlatched position. The latch is partly or completely concealed in the door edge.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2004Publication date: September 15, 2005Inventors: John Wissinger, Carl Onken, Kevin Stover
