Patent number: 11353855Abstract: An OT-IT (operational technology-information technology) service of a provider network allows operators to configure gateway connectors for data sources (e.g., machines at an industrial site) and allows developers to specify workflows that consume data from the data sources. To do so, the OT-IT service provides an operator interface to receive topology data for the client's remote network. The OT-IT service configures connectors for data sources based on the topology data and deploys the connectors to gateway devices. The OT-IT service also provides a developer interface to present available data sources and to receive specifications for workflows that consume data from the data sources. The OT-IT service deploys the workflows to execution locations. The OT-IT service then configures the gateways to send tagged data from the connectors to the workflows for processing.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2019Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Pascal Hahn, Jeffrey C.

Patent number: 11330349Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed maintaining playback of content at a target or desired playback time. A playback device may be configured to compare a current playback time of a content asset to a target playback time of the content asset and to determine, for each comparison, whether a difference between the current playback time and the target playback time has reached a threshold. Based on determining that the difference between the current playback time and the target playback time has reached a threshold, the playback device may seek to the target playback time of the content asset. The playback device may be configured to repeatedly perform the comparing, determining and seeking operations in order to maintain the current playback time of the content within the threshold of the target playback time.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2018Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventors: Matthew McDade Jackson, Matthew Patrick Creehan

Publication number: 20200320568Abstract: Methods, systems and devices for evaluating a product sampling event. The disclosed methods, systems and devices receive from a user a user identification specific to the user and compare the user identification to a user data set stored on a computer-readable medium. A sample is then delivered based on a predetermined condition, and a product value is changed after the step of causing delivery of the sample of the product. It can then be determined whether the user purchased the product after delivery of the sample of the product and, based on that determination, a sampling event value can be assigned. The user's preferences can also be used to provide a more custom sample with a user's order for example, with online or home delivery shopping.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2020Publication date: October 8, 2020Applicant: Freeosk, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Patrick Eichorn, Nathan Thomas Mirabito, Tony Lee Koenigsknecht
