  • Patent number: 11417302
    Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and systems that operate to provide interactive streaming content identification and processing are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a classifier to determine an audio characteristic value representative of an audio characteristic in audio; a transition detector to detect a transition between a first category and a second category by comparing the audio characteristic value to a threshold value among a set of threshold values, the set of threshold values corresponding to the first category and the second category; and a context manager to control a device to switch from a first fingerprinting algorithm to a second fingerprinting algorithm different than the first fingerprinting algorithm, responsive to the detected transition between the first category and the second category.

  • Patent number: 11223624
    Abstract: A system and method for recursive propagating application access control relate to managing third-party application access to content files and folders on a cloud storage system. The access control system may receive an access authorization indication to grant a third-party entity access to a parent folder containing a first file, and then modify an access control rule associated with the parent folder based on the access authorization indication. The modified access control rule is propagated to a child folder of the parent folder, and thus the third-party entity is granted access to a second file in the child folder based on the modified access control rule. The second file shares a common attribute with the first file, 1 and the modified access control rule specifies the common attribute.

  • Publication number: 20210387063
    Abstract: The invention is a golf club Putter Head that allows an entire Putter Assembly (Head, Shaft, and Grip) to balance on the top of a standard golf ball, on the toe of the putter head, and on the heel of the putter head when placed on level ground. The Putter Head's ability to make a Putter Assembly balance on a golf ball, toe, and heel is driven by the precise location of the center of gravity and the specific geometry of the sole of the Putter Head. The ability for the Putter Head to allow a putter assembly to balance on the toe, heel, and on top of a golf ball is a visual demonstration of the center of gravity and balance of the putter assembly. The center of gravity and balance of the putter assembly is a common factor used by consumers for determining putter selection. Note: The benefits of the Putter Head are realized when the Putter Head is combined with a standard golf club putter shaft, and standard golf putter grip. The Putter Shaft and Putter Grip are not part of this patent submission.
