Publication number: 20250150673Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for transferring an interactive feature from a first device to a second device. Two users may be consuming a media asset. Upon receipt of a command to active an interactive feature, a determination is made whether a user who did not activate the interactive feature is interested in the media asset. Upon that determination, a timer is activated that tracks an amount of time for which the interactive feature is active and a determination is made whether a threshold time period has been met. Once the threshold time period is met, a device associated with the user that activated the interactive feature is identified and the users are prompted to transfer the interactive feature to the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2025Publication date: May 8, 2025Inventors: John Blake, Milan Patel, Rowena Young, Jean Michel Pierre Bourdon

Patent number: 12289274Abstract: In one embodiment, an access point is configured with a plurality of resource units (RUs). Each RU is configured to use a frequency range that differs from frequency ranges used by the other RUs. The access point determines a pattern of recurring signal performance over time. For each RU of the plurality of RUs, the pattern indicates the recurring signal performance with respect to a station when the station is located in a given physical location. The access point allocates one or more of the RUs for communicating with the station. The pattern is used for avoiding allocation of any of the RUs for which the station is predicted to experience strong multipath fading or other destructive interference.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2021Date of Patent: April 29, 2025Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Pascal Thubert, Jerome Henry, Patrick Michel Pierre Wetterwald, Eric Michel Levy-Abegnoli

Patent number: 12244893Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for efficiently “catching-up” a user that is interested in a media asset when that user has missed a portion of the media asset while consuming the media asset together with other people. The system may detect that multiple people are consuming a media asset and may determine, based on a respective profile of each person, whether that person is interested in the media asset. When the system detects that the user is disregarding the media asset, the missed portion of the media asset is stored if the user is interested in the media asset, and is not stored if the user is not interested in the media asset.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2023Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: ADEIA GUIDES INC.Inventors: John Blake, Milan Patel, Rowena Young, Jean Michel Pierre Bourdon

Publication number: 20240383577Abstract: A mooring system for a floating electric power producing unit such as a wind turbine or a wave energy converter comprises a buoyant element held beneath the surface and a swivel supported by the buoyant element. The swivel comprises a static part that is held against angular movement about an upright axis and a rotating part that is movable angularly relative to the static part about the upright axis. A mooring link extends between the power producing unit and a mooring point supported by the buoyant element. A conductor link extends between the power producing unit and a connector supported by the buoyant element. The mooring point and the conductor link are movable angularly about the upright axis together with the rotating part of the swivel. Angular movement of the mooring link about the upright axis drives corresponding angular movement of the conductor link about the upright axis.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2022Publication date: November 21, 2024Inventors: Brice Helier VIELLARD, Mathurin Michel Pierre LEGRAND
