  • Patent number: 12086892
    Abstract: An activity management system is configured to allow users to access multimedia content where the multimedia content is divided into segments. While a user is viewing or interacting with the multimedia content, the user can submit one or more activities (e.g., comments, questions, replies, or reactions) using an interface. The system is operable to electronically link the activity provided by the user with the particular segment of multimedia content in which the activity was captured by the system. The system is also configured to throttle the number of activities that are displayed to a user for any given segment based on (1) viewers linked to the user (e.g., groups, social media groups, etc.), (2) viewers that influence the user, (3) viewers selected by the user, (4) viewers that cause the user to be engaged with the multimedia content, and (5) a threshold number of activities set by the viewer or the system.

  • Patent number: 12013687
    Abstract: An industrial automation system is described including multiple devices, a master container node, a container node, and a control system. The devices may connect to an external application programming interface (API) of an external device (e.g., an electric power utility company), receive an API call from the external API indicative of a time window for monitoring electrical power consumption of the devices by the external API, and output one or more information technology (IT) commands in response to receiving the API call. The container node may be coupled to the master container node, wherein the container node may map the IT commands to operation technology (OT) commands. The control system may be coupled to the container node and the plurality of devices. The control system may implement the OT commands on the devices to perform one or more operations.

  • Publication number: 20230353553
    Abstract: A secure certificate is provided to enable features within a motor drive. The certificate enables secure delivery of features for execution on the motor drive. A private key is stored in the motor drive, and the secure certificate is encrypted by the supplier with a corresponding public key. The encrypted certificate is delivered via a secure channel to the motor drive. The motor drive decrypts the certificate and reads the desired features for inclusion in the motor drive from extensions defined within the certificate. The motor drive downloads instructions for execution on the motor drive as well as configuration parameters required to execute the desired features. The instructions and parameters are stored in the memory of the motor drive for subsequent execution. Identification of features by secure certificate allows for feature and time-based licensing of functions for execution by the motor drive.
