  • Publication number: 20220232266
    Abstract: A method includes: receiving a script configured to modify the audio-video file; calculating a performance metric based on execution of the script on a set of test files; classifying the script as performant based on the performance metric; defining a metadata store associated with the script and the audio-video file; receiving a playback request specifying a rendition of the audio-video file from a computational device; in response to receiving the playback request: accessing a set of data inputs from the metadata store; executing the script on a frame of the audio-video file based on the set of data inputs to generate a modified frame of the audio-video file; transcoding the modified frame of the audio-video file into the rendition to generate an output frame of the audio-video file; and transmitting the output frame of the audio-video file to the computational device for playback at the computational device.

  • Publication number: 20220107795
    Abstract: Systems and methods for executing compiled code having parallel code fragments is provided. One method includes storing executable code having a plurality of parallel code fragments, each of the plurality of parallel code fragments representing alternative executable paths through a code stream. The method further includes determining a code level supported by a processor executable at a computing system, the processor executable supporting a hosted computing environment. The method also includes translating the executable code into machine-readable code executable by a processor of the computing system. Translating the executable code includes selecting a code fragment from among the plurality of parallel code fragments for execution based on the code level supported by the processor executable. The method includes executing the machine-readable code within the hosted computing environment.

  • Publication number: 20220078265
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are provided for generating a graphical user interface configured to display, at least in part, a schedule. According to one aspect, the system can receive selectable fields of a client and selectable fields one or more providers from a plurality of providers. The system can determine the quality of pairings between the client and each of the one or more providers based on the one or more selectable fields of the client and the one or more selectable fields of the one or more providers. The system can generate a schedule of potential sessions based on the pairings. The system can score each of the potential sessions and display the schedule and scores to a user.

  • Patent number: 11254112
    Abstract: A cover includes a wear detection component. The wear detection component includes a wear layer and a visual wear indicator. The wear layer is designed and configured to reduce its thickness to a threshold thickness, or to disintegrate, after a preselected number of cleanings have been experience by the cover. The visual wear indicator is configured to indicate to the user that the cover has been through a threshold number of cleanings. When the wear layer has reduced its thickness to the threshold thickness, or has disintegrated, the wear layer reveals the visual wear indicator, indicating to the user that the cover is ready for replacement.

  • Publication number: 20210237711
    Abstract: A method for operating an idling control device for a motor vehicle. The idling control device specifies a total setpoint torque including a setpoint torque of an electric motor and a setpoint torque of an internal combustion engine which interacts with the electric motor, and sets the setpoint torques by respective control paths. In a first operating mode the idling control device sets a requested total setpoint torque only via the control path of the internal combustion engine by at least one control intervention, and in a second operating mode the idling control device sets the requested total setpoint torque by at least one control intervention via the control path of the internal combustion engine and by at least one control intervention via the control path of the electric motor.

  • Patent number: 11047491
    Abstract: An actuator controls the operation of a valve member to achieve desired flow or no-flow states through different inlet ports of the valve in response to different types of input signals from one or more input sources. In some embodiments, the actuator drives the valve member along a first portion of a travel path to regulate flow through a first inlet port using analog or binary input signal(s) from a first input source, and drives the valve member along a second portion of the travel path to regulate flow through a second inlet port using analog or binary input signal(s) from a second input source. In some embodiments the actuator drives the valve member along the entire travel path to regulate flow through each of the first inlet port and the second inlet port responsive to an analog input signal from a single input source.

  • Publication number: 20210062626
    Abstract: A method of producing fluid from a wellbore includes operating a pump located proximate to a zone of fluid influx in the wellbore to draw a fluid from a reservoir into the wellbore at the zone of fluid influx. A first section of a tubing string is coupled to, and extends above, the pump, and a second section of the tubing string is coupled to, and extends below, the pump. A packer seals a first annular space around the first section of the tubing string. The method further includes operating the pump to move the fluid from the second section of the tubing string and into the first section of the tubing string.

  • Patent number: 10599725
    Abstract: Improved RDAP systems, RDAP services, and RDAP methods identify users and clients and keep track of their RDAP activities. The RDAP systems, services, and methods analyze the activities of a user (or a client) and detect or determine whether or not the user is engaging in undesirable, malicious, or otherwise abnormal activities. If so, the RDAP systems, services, and methods take action to reduce, eliminate, or otherwise mitigate the undesirable, malicious, or abnormal activities of the user.
