  • Patent number: 10481356
    Abstract: In submarine communications cables having a copper tube surrounding optical conductors, an armoring that surrounds the tube and is made of braided strands, a jacket layer made for example of a copper tube and external insulation, the jacket layer of copper or copper tube is complicated and expensive to produce and the copper jacket layer impairs the flexibility of the submarine communications cable. The invention provides for the copper jacket layer around the strands of the armoring to be replaced by a wrapped layer formed by at least one thin, flexible band that can be easily wrapped like a tape around the strands of the armoring, and the wrapped layer formed from the at least one thin, flexible band increases the flexibility of the submarine communications cable.

  • Patent number: 10372747
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for defining content presentation interfaces based on identified similarities between received and stored media content items. In one implementation, a processing device receives a first media content item from a content creator. The processing device processes the first media content item in relation to one or more media content items associated with a content owner to identify one or more similarities between the first media content item and the one or more media content items. The processing device defines, based on an identification of one or more similarities between the first media content item and the one or more media content items and in relation to the content owner, one or more aspects of a content presentation interface within which the first media content item is presented.
