Patent number: 9953299Abstract: At least one server connects with clients via networks such that each client communicates using a different network. The server divides an image based on an application into portions. The server assigns version numbers to the portions such that each version number corresponds to a different portion. The server generates lists that include the version numbers, wherein each list corresponds to a different client. The server shares the image by transmitting image data to each client separately based on the respective list. The server receives update(s) for the image and identifies portion(s) that has changed based on the update. The server assigns an updated version number to the identified changed portion and generates updated lists that include the updated version numbers for the clients such that each updated list corresponds to a different client. The server transmits updated image data to each client separately based on the respective updated list.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2013Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignee: POWWOW, INC.Inventors: Jonathan Kaplan, Andrew Cohen

Publication number: 20170251044Abstract: At least one server receives at least one signal representing a request for an initiation of the server for the installation and configuration of an application. The server connects with client(s) after receiving the signal and transmits at least one display image to the client such that the client can render the display image via a web interface, wherein the display image provides information regarding the server. The server receives an application installer, wherein the client is can use the web interface to facilitate transmission of the application installer. The server installs and configures the application based on at least one input received from the client, wherein the client is enabled to use the web interface to facilitate transmitting the input to the server. The server generates an image based on the application configuration and transmits the image to a data management system for storage until deployment.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2017Publication date: August 31, 2017Inventors: Jonathan Kaplan, Andrew Cohen

Patent number: 9681087Abstract: A method of providing one or more snapshots extracted from video footage includes displaying a first image in a first display area. The first image is associated with a first capture time. The method also includes displaying a first plurality of preview images in a second display area. The first plurality of preview images are associated with times prior to the first capture time. The method further includes displaying a second plurality of preview images in a third display area. The second plurality of preview images are associated with times subsequent to the first capture time. Moreover, the method includes selecting at least one of the first image, one of the first plurality of preview images, or one of the second plurality of preview images and saving the selected image to a memory.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2015Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: LinkedIn CorporationInventors: Jonathan Kaplan, David Ben-Yaakov, Jonathan Benjamin Korman, Philip C.

Patent number: 9632663Abstract: The disclosure provides techniques for adjusting in-store media according to customer preferences. A customer's presence or purchase is detected at an establishment, and a system at the establishment retrieves information on media preferences of the customer. A media backend then matches the customer preferences to media items (music tracks, images, videos, etc.), and the matching media items are played, displayed, or broadcast at the establishment. If multiple customers are present at the establishment or make orders, the media backend may order media items that match the customers' preferences in first-served order, or based on a ranking of the customers relative to each other or on the content of the media items themselves.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2014Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: FISH SIX RCInventors: Jonathan Kaplan, Stanley Peter Demarta, Carrie Eaton, Jay Amando Domingo Llacuna

Patent number: 9514347Abstract: An authentication server receives a request for a user-identification code from a computing device. The authentication server generates the user-identification code. The authentication server also generates an expiration date associated with the user-identification code. The authentication server transmits the user-identification code and the expiration date to the computing device. The authentication server also validates the user-identification code received from a code scanning system.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2015Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignee: FISH SIX RCInventors: Jonathan Kaplan, Jay Amando Domingo Llacuna, Stanley Peter Demarta

Patent number: 9492035Abstract: A catering box with active climate control is configured to transport “delicate” foods, such as grilled cheese sandwiches, hot dogs, and hamburgers, without inducing substantial sogginess in the bread of those food items. The catering box includes a heat mass configured to retain heat generated by a hot plate and to then radiate that heat, during transport, after the hot plate has been disconnected from a power source. In addition, the catering box includes an exhaust fan that actively controls internal specific humidity levels in order to prevent moisture from settling within the bread of stored food items. A microcontroller within the catering box monitors temperature and absolute humidity levels, computes the current specific humidity level, and then selectively engages or disengages the exhaust fan in response. With his approach, the catering box may limit the degree to which humidity settles within the bread of delicate food items stored within.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2015Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignee: FISHSIX RC THE MELTInventors: Michael Pavel, Jonathan Kaplan, Will Tammen, Michael J.

Publication number: 20160296294Abstract: A robotic surgical system comprises a horizontal platform to support a patient, a rail positioned about the horizontal platform, a carriage operatively coupled to and configured to translate along the rail, and a robotic arm operatively coupled to the carriage and translated about the patient by the rail. The robotic arm is configured to operate on the patient in a variety of positions provided by the translating carriage. The rail provides a rounded path for the carriage, such as a U-shaped path. The U-shaped path may comprise a first leg and a second leg, the first leg longer than the second leg. Furthermore, the system may comprise a plurality of carriages operatively coupled to the rail and a plurality of robotic arms. Also, the system may further comprise a central base which the horizontal platform can articulate relative to, such as by translating horizontally or vertically, rotating, or titling.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2016Publication date: October 13, 2016Inventors: Frederic Moll, Alan Yu, Aaron Peck, Lucas Artusi, Tanya Rinderknecht, Jonathan Kaplan, Farzad Azimpour, Jayant Menon

Patent number: 9039331Abstract: A modular expandable weighting system for recreational and professional underwater divers that permits a user to selectively attach one or more individual weight units to each other to achieve a desired amount of weight to regulate the user's overall buoyancy while under water. When used with a weight belt, the weights when attached create channels through which a weight belt may be disposed. If two or less weights are attached, end caps may be attached to create the channels to allow the system to be attached to the weight belt. When used without a weight belt, such as on a buoyancy compensator device with multiple weight pockets, the weight system allows for the placement of exact amounts of weights to achieve the desired amount of overall buoyancy as well as to maintain the desired degree of horizontal trim.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2012Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Inventor: Jonathan Kaplan
