Patent number: 11678019Abstract: Techniques for cloud user interface (UI) rendering in a virtual set top system is performed by a UI engine on a server or a cloud platform. The method includes receiving a request for a UI, where the request includes a state associated with the UI and the request. The method further includes identifying, based at least in part on the first state, UI element(s) and/or interactions associated with the UI. The method also includes determining whether or not UI object(s) corresponding to the UI element(s) and/or the interactions exist in a cache. The method additionally includes generating the UI using the UI object(s) upon finding the UI object(s) in the cache. The method further includes rendering the UI upon not finding the UI object(s) in the cache, including rendering the UI element(s) and/or the interaction(s) as the UI object(s) and storing the UI object(s) in the cache.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2021Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: Synamedia LimitedInventors: Anthony Leigh, Elyashiv Zalevsky, Peter Benjamin Matthews

Publication number: 20230156280Abstract: Techniques for selecting TV user interface (UI) transition characteristics are described. In accordance with various embodiments, a transition characteristics selection method is performed at a device (e.g., a cloud UI engine on a server) with one or more processors and a non-transitory memory. The UI engine receives a request for transitioning from a first screen to a second screen on a client device while in a real-time content presentation mode. In response to receiving the request and while in the real-time content presentation mode, the UI engine obtains one or more presentation conditions of the client device and selects one or more transition characteristics for transitioning from the first screen to the second screen based on costs associated with the one or more transition characteristics and the one or more presentation conditions.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2021Publication date: May 18, 2023Inventors: Karthigayan Anand, Anthony Leigh, Peter Benjamin Matthews

Patent number: 11592845Abstract: An autonomous vehicle that is equipped with image capture devices can use information gathered from the image capture devices to plan a future three-dimensional (3D) trajectory through a physical environment. To this end, a technique is described for image-space based motion planning. In an embodiment, a planned 3D trajectory is projected into an image-space of an image captured by the autonomous vehicle. The planned 3D trajectory is then optimized according to a cost function derived from information (e.g., depth estimates) in the captured image. The cost function associates higher cost values with identified regions of the captured image that are associated with areas of the physical environment into which travel is risky or otherwise undesirable. The autonomous vehicle is thereby encouraged to avoid these areas while satisfying other motion planning objectives.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2021Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: Skydio, Inc.Inventors: Ryan David Kennedy, Peter Benjamin Henry, Hayk Martirosyan, Jack Louis Zhu, Abraham Galton Bachrach, Adam Parker Bry

Patent number: 11580560Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for identifying fraudulent accounts associated with an electronic payment service. In some implementations, a computing device may retrieve a data set including a number of attributes for each of a multitude of accounts, and may construct a plurality of different graphs each based on a unique set of the attributes. Each graph may include a plurality of nodes linked together by a multitude of edges, where each node identifies a corresponding account and each edge indicates one or more of the corresponding attributes that are common to a pair of accounts. The computing device may determine a likelihood of each graph correctly identifying fraudulent accounts by analyzing groups of nodes connected to each other by corresponding groups of edges using historical account data, and may select the graph having the greatest determined likelihood to predict whether any of the accounts is fraudulent.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2019Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: Intuit Inc.Inventors: Dusan Bosnjakovic, Peter Benjamin Twieg

Publication number: 20220390940Abstract: In some examples, a computing apparatus may include one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media that, when executed by one or more processors, direct the computing apparatus to perform various steps. For example, the program instructions may continually present a graphical user interface (GUI) at the computing apparatus including a display of a current view of the physical environment from a perspective of an aerial vehicle. The program instructions may detect user interactions with the GUI while the aerial vehicle is in flight. The user interactions may include instructions directing the aerial vehicle to maneuver within the physical environment and configure parameters for scanning a three-dimensional (3D) scan volume. The program instruction may then transmit, to the aerial vehicle, data encoding the instructions for performing a 3D scan of the 3D scan volume.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2022Publication date: December 8, 2022Inventors: Brian Richman, Matthew Thomas Beaudouin-Lafon, Charles VanSchoonhoven Wood, Peter Benjamin Henry, Jack Louis Zhu, Harrison Zheng, Hayk Martirosyan, Matthew Donahoe, Abraham Galton Bachrach, Adam Parker Bry

Patent number: 11492650Abstract: Polypeptides that fold into biologies are stabilized by diselenide bonds between selenocysteine amino acids. Methods to produce such polypeptides in genomically recoded organisms (GRO) can be scaled up for industrial production. Since diselenides have the same geometric bond angles and torsions as disulfides, as well as very similar bond lengths, they can be substituted into polypeptides without disrupting the three dimensional structure of the polypeptides. Diselenides render the polypeptides resistant to reduction when they are exposed to blood serum or to reducing components of blood serum or to reducing components components within cells.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2017Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignees: BOARD OF REGENTS, THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS SYSTEM, PRESIDENT AND FELLOWS OF HARVARD COLLEGEInventors: Daniel J.
