Patent number: 11453558Abstract: A singulation conveyor is described. The singulation conveyor includes multiple rollers, for example, a first roller and a second roller. In some example embodiments, the first roller can be of a first roller cross-sectional profile and the second roller can be of a second roller cross-sectional profile. The first roller cross-sectional profile can be defined by a sleeve mounted around a circumference of the first roller and a dowel positioned between the sleeve and the first roller. Further, in some examples, the first roller cross-sectional profile can be different from the second roller cross-sectional profile. Furthermore, according to some examples, the first roller and the second roller can be configured to be rotated based on a first rotation pattern and a second rotation pattern respectively, to cause singulation of a shingled item.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2020Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: INTELLIGRATED HEADQUARTERS, LLCInventors: Matthew Good, William McConnell, Darius Scott, Joseph Joice

Publication number: 20130014209Abstract: Content rights holders provide digital content to a hosting site to be used as reference content. The content owner specifies a policy for each digital content item, indicating how that content may be used on the site when uploaded by someone other than the content owner. An identification module compares the uploaded content against reference content. If the content matches reference content, the specified policy for that reference content is applied to the uploaded content. Policy options provided by the content owner include tracking the content to see how it is viewed, preventing the content from being distributed on the site, and allowing the content to be displayed in a revenue-sharing environment. In one embodiment, if the identification module matches the uploaded content to a reference item but the match does not have a sufficiently high level of confidence, the suggested match is queued for review by the content owner.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2012Publication date: January 10, 2013Applicant: GOOGLE INC.Inventors: Franck Chastagnol, Jianliang Zhao, Rui Chen, Matthew Good, Yi-Ling Su, Frey Waid, Zheng Liu, David King
