Patent number: 11507616Abstract: A method of inspecting a component includes storing at least one inspection image file in a memory and receiving a search request associated with the at least one inspection image file. The method also includes accessing a database including a plurality of image files, comparing the hash code of the at least one inspection image file to the hash code of each image file of the plurality of image files, and identifying a first subset of image files based on the hash code comparison. The method also includes comparing the feature data of the at least one inspection image file to the feature data of each image file of the first subset of image files and classifying a second subset of image files as relevant based on the feature data comparison. The method further includes generating search results based on the second subset of image files.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2020Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Shaopeng Liu, Xiao Bian, Yan Liu, Feng Xue, Walter Vincent Dixon, III, Mark Richard Gilder, Peihong Zhu, Bernard Patrick Bewlay, Byron Andrew Pritchard, Masako Yamada, Colin James Parris

Patent number: 10120983Abstract: A digital rights management (DRM) scheme enables a user having a valid license to digital content to create one or more copies of the content. The number of copies is limited by the DRM scheme. However, if the user is not connected or connectable to the content provider or licensing party when additional copies are desired, the user is permitted to create one or more additional copies without deleting or disabling other copies even though the additional copies exceed the number otherwise permitted by the DRM scheme. The number of such “float” copies may be limited. Rights to such additional copies may be withdrawn during a subsequent connection session between the user and the content provider.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2006Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: NBCUNIVERSAL MEDIA, LLCInventors: William David Smith, II, Mark Richard Gilder, Virginia Ann Zingelewicz, William Mandel

Patent number: 8868635Abstract: A media content sharing system includes multiple broadcast operation centers that together are configured to automatically acquire and distribute media content among one another based upon the media content needs and inventories of each participating broadcast operation center. The media sharing system architecture eliminates any single-point of system failure such that an inventory of media content corresponding to a particular broadcast operation center remains available to broadcast operation centers remaining on the media content sharing system subsequent to failure of the particular broadcast operation center.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2009Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: NBCUniversal Media, LLCInventors: Mark Richard Gilder, Osman Rifki Oksoy, Michael Andrew Woellmer, Kevin Anthony Mercurio

Patent number: 8346858Abstract: A system for providing an optimal motivational response is provided. The system includes an input device configured to receive at least one client input from the client. The system further includes a processor configured to analyze the at least one client input received from the client and generate a current state of the client based on the at least one client input. The processor is further configured to analyze the current state of the client and determine an optimal motivational technique for the client based on the current state of the client and the at least one client input. The processor is also configured to generate an optimal motivational response based on the optimal motivational technique. The system further includes an output device configured to display the optimal motivational response to the client.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2010Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Daniel Joseph Cleary, Mark Richard Gilder, Virginia Ann Zingelewicz, Joseph Carl Shultz

Patent number: 7904841Abstract: A method and system is described for optimizing a digital filter defined by coefficients that are multiplied by input data and accumulated to generate output data. A factorization set of candidate factors is compiled based on the coefficients. For each of the candidate factors, an optimized solution is generated. To generate the optimized solution, the candidate factor is applied to the coefficients and a working set of terms is compiled. Terms in the working set are converted to power-of-two representations and grouped with other terms that have a common partial sum, or multiple of the partial sum, within their respective power-of-two representations. A reduction set is compiled from the grouped terms and an order of application is selected based on optimization objectives. The reduction set is then applied to the working set of terms to generate the optimized solution, which is ranked and stored based on the optimization objectives.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2007Date of Patent: March 8, 2011Assignee: Lockheed Martin CorporationInventors: Walter Vincent Dixon, III, Mark Richard Gilder

Publication number: 20090150212Abstract: A method of identifying a set of entities based on a pattern of interest is provided. The method includes identifying a reference entity and identifying one or more alert categories indicative of a pattern of interest in the reference entity over a time period of interest. The method further comprises determining a matching percentage of the pattern of interest exhibited by the reference entity, in one or more entities comprising the set of entities based on the one or more alert categories. The method further comprises identifying one or more of the entities comprising the set of entities that exhibit one or more of the patterns of interest exhibited by the reference entity, based on the matching percentage.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2007Publication date: June 11, 2009Inventors: Gregg Katsura Steuben, Kareem Sherif Aggour, Michael Andrew Woellmer, Benjamin Thomas Verschueren, Bethany Kniffin Hoogs, Christina Ann LaComb, Mark Richard Gilder, Deniz Senturk-Doganaksoy

Publication number: 20080148363Abstract: A digital rights management (DRM) system allows a user to purchase, license or otherwise obtain digital content and to play the content on a first device. An application operative on the device implements DRM rules that allow the user to share the content with other devices so long as a total number of simultaneously accessible copies is below a preset limit. The application updates a local registry of content and devices enabled to play the content. The local registry is synchronized with a registry at the content provider when the device is on-line.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2006Publication date: June 19, 2008Inventors: Mark Richard Gilder, William David Smith, Virginia Ann Zingelewicz

Publication number: 20080148362Abstract: A digital rights management (DRM) system allows for digital data to be delivered to a user, and user rights to be stored by a locker service by the content provider. The rights may be stored in the locker service by request of the user. If the content is then lost, corrupted, or otherwise unavailable or unusable by the user, or in other appropriate circumstances, the user may contact the locker service and obtain authorization to re-access (e.g., download) another copy of the content. The system may verify user compliance with the DRM scheme prior to authorizing re-provisioning of the content.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2006Publication date: June 19, 2008Inventors: Mark Richard Gilder, William David Smith, Virginia Ann Zingelewicz
