Publication number: 20210160299Abstract: Techniques for serving a manifest file of an adaptive streaming video include receiving a request for the manifest file from a user device. The video is encoded at different reference bitrates and each encoded reference bitrate is divided into segments to generate video segment files. The manifest file includes an ordered list of universal resource locators (URLs) that reference a set of video segment files encoded at a particular reference bitrate. A source manifest file that indicates the set of video segment files is identified based on the request. An issued manifest file that includes a first URL and a second URL is generated based on the source manifest file. The first URL references a first domain and the second URL references a second domain that is different from the first domain. The issued manifest file is transmitted to the user device as a response to the request.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2021Publication date: May 27, 2021Applicant: DLVR, Inc.Inventor: Michael Gordon

Patent number: 10915676Abstract: A method and system for recertifying an interactive computer simulation station from certification rules provided by an authoritative source. A baseline results of the station, generated upon certification thereof is obtained. While executing a simulation in the station, tangible instruments are stimulated in real-time for generating subsequent test results. Deviated parameters are identified with a test result incompliant with a target value. For the deviated parameters, a previously certified deviated value is obtained from the baseline results. A previously accepted deviation value is computed. A challenged deviation value is computed between the test result value, the target value and the baseline value. A delta deviation value is computed between the previously accepted deviation value and the challenged deviation value.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2018Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: CAE Inc.Inventors: Louis Lamontagne, Michael Gordon, Jonathan Dore, Gregory Chorkawy
