  • Patent number: 11294731
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for performing a joint simulation for satisfying multiple different coexisting commitments to allocate digital resources. In one aspect, a method includes accessing logged data for prior allocations of digital resources, where the logged data includes at least one property associated with respective allocations of the digital resources. Different allocations of the digital resources included in the logged data are assigned to different ones of the multiple different commitments. For each commitment to allocate digital resources, an expected required resource amount that results in the commitment being allocated at least a specified minimum resource based on the allocations of digital resources of the logged data that were assigned to the multiple different commitments is determined.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8512498
    Abstract: The waved wood assembly can have a flexible support layer onto the face(s) of which one or more wood sheet layer(s) are adhered by an adhesive. The waved wood product can maintain its waved shape when freestanding. It can exhibit significant elasticity characteristics. It can have very accentuated waves, i.e. waves that span a greater thickness for a given number of waves per unit of dimension.

  • Patent number: 7664292
    Abstract: Output from a video camera is monitored. Input data is analyzed to produce a model of a background image and incoming image data is compared with said background model to identify images having a high level of activity created by the introduction of a foreground object. A period of activity, composed of a plurality of consecutive images having a high level of activity, is identified, and an exemplar image is generated.
