Publication number: 20240180926Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a pharmaceutical intervention in the neonatal pig that inhibits and delays development and activation of the HPG axis, growth of the boar testis and inhibits testicular production of testosterone and androstenone, which prevents the development of aggressive behavior in the maturing boars and the presence of boar taint in the meat. The invention comprises treatment with a combination of an androgen and an estrogen in the newborn male piglet using extended drug delivery methods, with a defined duration of no more than 12 weeks, for the purpose of inhibiting the production of testosterone and androstenone and the accumulation of the boar taint-inducing molecules androstenone and skatole in the fat.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 9, 2024Publication date: June 6, 2024Inventors: CheMyong Ko, ChanJin Park, Po-Ching Patrick Lin, Rex Allen Hess, Suzanne Rene Broussard, Sherry Qi Zhou

Publication number: 20240184340Abstract: In a display assistant device, a speaker is mounted in a waveguide structure which is at least partially disposed beneath a display screen. The waveguide structure is mounted in an exterior housing which includes speaker grills distributed on a plurality of surfaces of the exterior housing, permitting sound waves from the speaker to be projected outside the exterior housing. A cover structure is disposed on top of the waveguide structure to conceal the waveguide structure and speaker within the exterior housing. The cover structure has a tilted bottom surface configured to be suspended above the waveguide structure and to be separated by a first space. Sound waves projected from an upper portion of the speaker are reflected by the tilted bottom surface and are guided through the first space to exit the device from a speaker grill portion located on a rear side of the exterior housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2023Publication date: June 6, 2024Applicant: Google LLCInventors: James Nelson Castro, Carl Alexander Cepress, Liang Ching Tseng, Darren Torrie, Frances Maria Hui Hong Kwee, Rex Pinegar Price

Patent number: 11416208Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for smoothing audio gaps using adaptive metadata identifies an initial audio segment and a subsequent audio segment that follows the initial audio segment. The method accesses a first set of metadata that corresponds to a last audio frame of the initial audio segment and accesses a second set of metadata that corresponds to the first audio frame of the subsequent audio segment. The first and second sets of metadata include audio characteristic information for the two audio segments. The method then generates a new set of metadata that is based on both sets of audio characteristics. The method further inserts a new audio frame between the last audio frame of the initial audio segment and the first audio frame of the subsequent audio segment and applies the new set of metadata to the new audio frame. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2020Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: Netflix, Inc.Inventors: Weiguo Zheng, Rex Ching, Weibo Ni, Kensuke Miyagi, Sean Munday, Teresa Tao

Publication number: 20140013373Abstract: An interactive system includes a server system, a modem, and a terminal device. The server system provides service content that may include a video stream and selection items. The modem connects to the server system via a network. The modem can transmit information according to priority levels. The terminal device connects to the modem. The terminal device is configured to assign a highest transmission priority level to a selection result of a selected item selected by a user from the selection items. The server system is configured to provide response information according to the selection result and transmit the response information in a unicast manner.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2011Publication date: January 9, 2014Applicant: STARBUCKS (HK) LIMITEDInventors: Keith Huang, Chit Rex Ching, Tsz Kit Chan, Felix To, Wesley Ng, Pui Chi Chan
