Publication number: 20240232249Abstract: A method and system for coding of a media “genome” employs machine learning models for social tagging of media titles. A media genome is a detailed description of the intrinsic elements that make up a piece of content; it is a comprehensive taxonomy that considers every impactful dimension of a film, TV episode, video short, video game, or other media title. The genome may be used by filmmakers to better understand their content, as well as that of competitors. It may also be used by entertainment marketers to better target their marketing budget for specific audiences, and by brands to determine which televisions programs and films they wish to advertise around or sponsor placements in.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2022Publication date: July 11, 2024Inventors: Arthur Coleman, Nolan Gasser, Ray Kraus, Michael Bowen, Oscar Barrios, Baishnavi Bihare, Jimmy Figueroa, Roberto Hernandez, Noah Nodolski, Briana Robertson, Kristy Strouse

Publication number: 20230077375Abstract: A rodless guide microwave radiation device, system, and method is disclosed for measuring at least one characteristic of a liquid in a vessel. A hollow metal waveguide conveys microwave radiation and is adapted to be disposed in a vessel for containing a liquid, the waveguide having a first end and a second end. A single chip radar sensor mounted on a PCB is disposed proximal to the first end of the hollow waveguide. The radar sensor is configured to transmit millimeter wavelength signals into the first end of the hollow waveguide for propagating down the waveguide toward the second end, and receive a return echo from the signal based upon a change in impedance upon encountering the liquid and propagating in the reverse direction of the waveguide, the single chip radar sensor including electronic circuitry for determining at least one characteristic of the liquid located in the waveguide based on detection of an impedance change according to time domain reflectometry.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2022Publication date: March 16, 2023Inventors: Chester Wildey, Gagik Farmanyan, Benjamin N.

Publication number: 20220075845Abstract: A computer-aided design (CAD) system utilizes an image analysis engine to identify objects in a video frame. Customization rules and object identifiers assigned by the image analysis engine and associated with the frame are used to determine if the frame is permitted to be used to customize a product. If the frame is not permitted to be used, an indicator is stored configured to inhibit the frame from being used to customize the product and/or cause the frame to be edited to obscure frame objects. A user request is received for the product. A determination is made as to what frames have been used to customize instances of the product. A first frame is selected that has not been used to customize physical instances of the product. The first frame is printed on the product. The first frame is inhibited from being used to customize other instances of the product.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2021Publication date: March 10, 2022Inventors: Michael Bowen, Payton Breck Arriaga, Linden D.
