Patent number: 12381886Abstract: Systems and methods directed to a service that analyzes media and outputs a confidence score of the media based on inconsistencies within media and differences between source media and the media, are described herein. In one aspect, a media file may be obtained at a computing resource service provider. The media file may be analyzed using at least one of a plurality of functions to generate media results that indicate inconsistencies within the media file, and/or differences between the media file and corresponding media registered with the computing resource service provider or contextual media that contains similar content to the media file, where individual functions of the plurality of functions are executed in parallel by at least one compute unit. A confidence score, which indicates a significance of the inconsistencies within the media file and/or differences from the registered or contextual media, may be generated based on the media results.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2019Date of Patent: August 5, 2025Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Eric Jason Brandwine, Jennifer Anne Brinkley, Min Lee Hyun, Mark Becker

Patent number: 12361006Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for tracking and providing access reports for individual pieces of data managed by a data storage service. A service may generate and store a record of operations performed on a piece of data, such that may be classified as containing sensitive or important data, in a data store. The record may link representations of users and the operations performed by those users to instances of the piece of data, as it is found in one or more data objects within the data store. The data store may link other instances of the piece of data and other operations performed on the piece of data to the first instance of the piece of data. The service may access the data store to produce a history record of the various instances of the piece of data and operations performed on those instances of the piece of data.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2020Date of Patent: July 15, 2025Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Eric Jason Brandwine, Jennifer Anne Brinkley, Min Lee Hyun, Mark Becker, Ryan Christopher Holland

Patent number: 11341179Abstract: Systems and methods directed to a service that analyzes media and outputs an evaluation of the media based on inconsistencies within media and differences between source media and the media, are described. In one aspect, a media file may be obtained at a computing resource service provider. The media may be analyzed to generate media results that indicate inconsistencies within the media file and/or differences between the media file and corresponding source media registered with the computing resource service provider. An indication of a significance of the inconsistencies within the media file and/or differences between the registered source media and the media may be generated based on the media results. In some aspects, source media may be registered and one or more artifacts inserted into the media to enable more efficient comparisons of whether other media is consistent with the registered source media.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2019Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Eric Jason Brandwine, Mark Becker, Jennifer Anne Brinkley, Min Lee Hyun

Patent number: 9156714Abstract: A self contained energy generating system that comprises a galvanic battery and a power distribution system. The energy generating system is used to purify water by using a reverse osmosis device that draws in a source of water and transfers electrolytes to the galvanic battery. Upon contact with the electrolyte, the galvanic battery produces energy by an oxidation-reduction reaction of the cathode and anode and transfers energy to the power distribution system, which in turn provides power to the osmosis device. Additionally, the system includes a hydrogen fuel cell to increase the amount of energy generated and a power storage device for storing excess energy generated. The system also includes a controller which is configured to regulate the overall operation of the system.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2015Date of Patent: October 13, 2015Assignee: Concurrent Technologies CorporationInventors: Michel J.

Patent number: 6999543Abstract: In a CDR (clock data recovery) deserializer, a clock divider receives a recovered clock signal (SCLK) and generates a divided clock signal (RPCLK). The frequency of the divided clock signal is lowered with each cycle of the divided clock signal being generated for each count of cycles of the recovered clock signal up to a predetermined ratio number. A serial-to-parallel shift register shifts in recovered serial data bits with each cycle of the recovered clock signal and outputs the predetermined ratio number of the shifted recovered serial data bits at a predetermined transition of every cycle of the divided clock signal. A SYNC (synchronization) detect logic asserts a VRS (diVider ReSet) signal coupled to the clock divider for controlling the clock divider to generate the predetermined transition for a cycle of the divided clock signal when the VRS signal is asserted.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2001Date of Patent: February 14, 2006Assignee: Lattice Semiconductor CorporationInventors: Jayson Trinh, Chienkuang Chen, Kuang Chi, Mark Becker
