Publication number: 20240111556Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein enable a guest operating system (OS) to access and use a media processing component configured on a host OS. The guest OS provides, via an API, a request to create an instance of the media processing component (e.g., a codec, an encryption/decryption component, a DRM component). In association with the request, the guest OS allocates space in memory for media data that is to be processed by the instance of the media processing component configured on the host OS. The guest OS stores the input media data in the allocated memory and provides, via the API, reference(s) to locations of the allocated memory. The reference(s) to the locations of the allocated memory enable the host OS to retrieve the input media data and process the input media data using the instance of the media processing component configured on the host OS.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Anton Victor POLINGER, Marcin STANKIEWICZ, Isuru Chamara PATHIRANA, Kumar RAJEEV, Isha SHARMA, Glenn Frederick EVANS, Matthew R.

Patent number: 10979461Abstract: Data security may be automatically evaluated and adjusted using machine learning and/or satisfiability modulo theories (SMT). In various examples, a machine learning model(s) may be trained using training data that includes samples of customer data labeled with different types of data corresponding to different sensitivity levels of the samples of the customer data. Once trained, this trained machine learning model(s) can be used to classify data that is, or is requested to be, stored in a storage container. A SMT solver(s) may then evaluate the sufficiency of the existing data security (e.g., an existing access policy) of the storage container. Based on the result of the SMT solver's data security evaluation, an action(s) may be taken, such as a remedial action (e.g., adjusting data security of the storage container), a notification action (e.g., sending an alert about the data security deficiency), or the like.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2018Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Michael Jerry Cervantez, Sheila Mary Soulia, Russell Richard Leighton, Matthew R.

Patent number: 9514236Abstract: A recommendation network is described. In some embodiments, the recommendation network includes recommenders that explicitly or implicitly recommend, rate or refer items and recommendation receivers that receive the recommendations. In some embodiments, the recommenders can be recommendation receivers, and vice versa. In some embodiments, recommendation receivers assign rust ratings to recommenders. The recommendation receiver can assign separate trust ratings to individual topics for which the recommendation receiver trusts the recommender. The separate trust ratings represent the recommendation receiver's amount of trust in the recommender to makes valuable recommendations for the specific topic. The recommendation network can use the separate trust ratings, along with ratings provided by the recommender, to rank recommendations per the separate topics. The recommendation receiver can assign the recommender to different bundles, topics, channels, etc. to which other recommendation receivers can subscribe.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2011Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignee: RESOURCE CONSORTIUM LIMITEDInventors: Matthew R. Evans, Daniel L. Salgado

Patent number: 8435506Abstract: The invention provides an attenuated enterobacterium comprising an attenuating mutation in the fnr gene, and optionally further comprising a heterologous nucleic acid encoding a foreign antigen. Also provided are pharmaceutical formulations comprising the attenuated enterobacteria of the invention. Further disclosed are methods of inducing an immune response in a subject by administration of an immunogenically effective amount of an attenuated enterobacterium or pharmaceutical formulation of the invention.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2011Date of Patent: May 7, 2013Assignee: North Carolina State UniversityInventors: Hosni M. Hassan, Ryan C. Fink, Matthew R. Evans

Patent number: 6602015Abstract: A removable bicycle beam for adapting a bicycle frame for engagement with a vehicle-mounted bicycle rack. The beam includes a pair of securing mechanisms disposed on opposite ends of a central body. Each securing mechanism includes a fixed arm fixedly secured to the central body and a pivoting arm pivotally secured to the central body. Each arm includes a gripping portion extending outwardly from the central body that cooperates with the gripping portion of the other arm to releasably encircle and engage a component of the bicycle, such as the handle bar stem or the seat post. The pivoting arm and fixed arm lie in a substantially horizontal plane when in a closed position, and the pivoting arm is movable in the horizontal plane toward and away from the fixed arm. Each pivoting arm can be locked in a closed, engaged position by one of a pair of releasable latch mechanisms disposed within the central body and engagable with the pivoting arms.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2001Date of Patent: August 5, 2003Assignee: Graber Products, Inc.Inventors: Matthew R.
