  • Patent number: 10616666
    Abstract: Embodiments of the systems, methods, and computer readable medium devices disclosed herein provide a sentiment analysis system that can determine sentiment from an input of a user received from a device. Once the input is received, parsing and analysis can be performed to determine a particular sentiment corresponding to the input. The system can determine an overall sentiment of some or all of the users or viewers watching a particular video stream, such as a live video stream. The determined overall sentiment can represent a metric indicating what users generally feel about a portion of the video stream, and the system can use the determination to cause modification of the video stream or a future video stream to enhance the user experience.

  • Patent number: 10588772
    Abstract: A therapeutic bandage/dressing/covering for use with a human penis fitted with a catheter that extends from a human's bladder through, and beyond the opening from the penis glans, is placed over the distal end of the penis, including the glans, and onto the surface of the catheter where the catheter protrudes from the glans. The covering surface that lies against the skin of the penis, penis glans, and the distal opening in the penis, may be padded, flexible or, rigid, and, optionally, medicated and/or lubricated, to minimize skin abrasion and promote cleanliness/sterility of the glans, the contiguous penis shaft, and other delicate penile tissues.

  • Patent number: 10547520
    Abstract: Provisioning resources into the cloud is a constantly increasing technical challenge as more cloud service providers emerge, each offering disparate computing platforms, services, assets, supported technical components, and other features. A cloud computing provisioning architecture implements a sequence of complex technical analyses that successfully provisions complex cloud computing services. The provisioning architecture disaggregates resources into individual provisioning actions, and also selectively re-aggregates the resources into template blocks which a service provider accepts for native provisioning.

  • Publication number: 20200028835
    Abstract: A system and method for secure cloud computing. The cloud based processing system comprises a user interface, allowing a user to enter and edit data, a proxy server, and a cloud based processing server. The user interface sends data entered by a user to the proxy server, which sends the encrypted data to the cloud based processing server. The proxy server receives editing commands from the user interface, and sends those commands to the cloud based processing server along with the encrypted data. The cloud based processing server receives the encrypted data and editing commands, applies the editing commands to the encrypted data, and sends the edited encrypted data back to the proxy server.

  • Publication number: 20190286689
    Abstract: A method includes storing, at one or more data storage devices, a design in a platform-independent format. The method also includes generating, at a web front end, a GUI including a publish option associated with the design. The method includes sending the GUI to a client device. The method also includes receiving a user request indicating a selection of the publish option, and, in response to receiving the user request, generating first output based on the design, the first output having a HTML format. The method includes identifying a rendering engine based on browser information associated with the client device and generating second output by rendering the first output at the rendering engine, the second output having an image format. The method includes sending the second output to at least one of a data storage device of the data storage devices, a publishing endpoint, or the client device.

  • Patent number: 10148527
    Abstract: A network component placement architecture addresses the difficult technical challenge of determining where specific technical components of an overall service may be provisioned. However, the placement decision can change over time in response to complex updates relating to service providers, the regions they support, the assets they support, and many other dynamic factors. Dynamic network component placement effectively determines updated possibilities for placing the technical components of a specified service, while meeting all of the applicable technical constraints on the placement of the technical components.

  • Patent number: 10033597
    Abstract: Cloud computing has emerged as an extremely popular implementation option for a wide range of computing services. However, provisioning services into the cloud is an extremely difficult technical challenge. This is due in part to the regular emergence of new cloud service providers, as well as the routine changing and reconfiguration of the disparate computing platforms, services, assets, supported technical components, and other features offered by the service providers. An analysis architecture determines how to map a particular technical component into the execution environment of any particular service provider with the aid of translation scripts.
