  • Publication number: 20160323650
    Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying, assembling, and publishing content are described. A content item, such as a video, having a first time length, is identified by a system to be included in a program scheduled for a first time period. The video may be hosted on a third party system. A first span of time within the first program is allocated for the video, wherein the first span of time is longer than the first time length. The system determines, prior to or at the first time period, a time difference between a current length of the video and the first span of time. At least partly in response to determining that the video has a time length shorter than the first span of time, the system selects supplemental content based at least in part of the determined time difference to be streamed to user terminals over a data network within the first time period.

  • Patent number: 9438631
    Abstract: Techniques for off-device anti-malware protection for mobile devices are disclosed. In some embodiments, off-device anti-malware protection for mobile devices includes receiving a software inventory for a mobile device, in which the software inventory identifies a plurality of applications installed on the mobile device; and determining whether one or more of the plurality of applications identified in the software inventory are associated with malware based on a policy. In some embodiments, the off-device anti-malware protection for mobile devices further includes enforcing the policy on the mobile device. In some embodiments, the off-device anti-malware protection for mobile devices is provided as a cloud service.

  • Publication number: 20160076769
    Abstract: A radiant burner and method are disclosed. The radiant burner is for treating an effluent gas stream from a manufacturing process tool and comprises: a combustion chamber having a porous sleeve through which combustion materials pass for combustion proximate to a combustion surface of the porous sleeve; a combustion characteristic monitor operable to determine combustion performance of the radiant burner by monitoring infra-red radiation emitted from the combustion surface; and a radiant burner controller operable to control operation of the radiant burner in dependence upon combustion performance determined by the combustion characteristic monitor. Accordingly, aspects recognise that if a burner is suffering from an excessive flow of air the burner pad or combustion surface will typically cool, which results in an increase in unwanted emissions in the exhaust produced by a radiant burner. The cooling also results in a reduction in infrared radiation determined by the combustion surface.

  • Patent number: 9007380
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer storage mediums are provided for animating a static structure rendered in a three-dimensional environment. A method includes accessing mesh data associated with the static structure. The mesh data describes primitives used to render the static structure in the three-dimensional environment. Once the mesh data is accessed, the static structure is rendered in the three-dimensional environment such that the mesh data associated with the static structure is used to represent the static structure. Animation data associated with the static structure is also accessed. The animation data includes a transform that includes a motion type and a description of the group of primitives from the mesh data that the motion type is applied to. Once the animation data is accessed, the group of primitives is animated such that the motion type is applied to the group of primitives.

  • Patent number: 8922375
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for configuring antennae of radio frequency identification reader systems. In one aspect of an embodiment, a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader system, includes: a receiver; a radio frequency (RF) source for signal transmission; and a switch matrix coupled with the receiver and the radio frequency sources to selectively couple the receiver and the radio frequency source to a plurality of non-collocated antennae. When in a first mode, the switch matrix connects the radio frequency source to a first one of the antennae for signal transmission and the receiver to a second one of the antennae for signal reception; and when in a second mode, the switch matrix connects the first one of the antennae for signal reception and, in one example, the second one or another one of the antennae to the RF source for signal transmission.

  • Publication number: 20140337241
    Abstract: Any of various comparisons of computer folders from different points in time is performed. Such comparisons provide the ability to discover missing documents or documents with modification dates that have changed when there would otherwise have been no need to change them and thus allows discovery of missing documents to discover fraud or to search for evidence after a fraud is suspected. In another embodiment, deltas in accounting system vendor invoice accounts are compared at different points in time, potentially exposing the practice of moving fraudulent vendor transactions into a large group of legitimate transactions for a legitimate vendor. Per period transaction totals for specific periods for legitimate vendors are compared over historical time for suspicious activity. A comparison of reports from the two different periods, using exact data and software from those separate periods (instead of reporting from “current” data), may raise a red flag otherwise missed.
