Patent number: 11442532Abstract: Methods and systems for filtering content include identifying content for presenting in a rendering space defined by one or more mechanisms of a head mounted display (HMD), wherein the content is interactive, streaming content. A rating score for the content is identified. The content is dynamically adjusted to selectively filter a portion of the content based on a user profile of the user, rating score of the content, and ongoing interactions detected at the content. The adjusted content is formatted for rendering on the HMD. The formatted content is automatically transmitted to the HMD for rendering, in response to the request.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2020Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Roger Stafford, Frederick Umminger, Richard Marks

Publication number: 20220268117Abstract: A method of deploying a flexible cable in a wellbore includes carrying, by a tubular assembly, a cable spool cartridge into the wellbore. The cable spool cartridge is attached to an exterior of the tubular assembly and contains the flexible cable. A first end of the flexible cable is attached to a buoyancy device, and the buoyancy device is releasably attached to the cable spool cartridge. A fluid is flowed by the tubular assembly in a downhole direction through an interior of the tubular assembly and in an uphole direction within an annulus at least partially defined by the exterior of the tubular assembly. The fluid has a greater density than the buoyancy device. The buoyancy device is released by the cable spool cartridge, and the buoyancy device is configured to travel after release in the uphole direction with the fluid and thereby pull the flexible cable from the cable spool cartridge and into the annulus.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2021Publication date: August 25, 2022Inventors: Timothy E.

A state check is performed based on a security association of the initiator node and the responder node. A validation of the authentication request message is performed. A proposal list of the authentication request message is checked. An authentication response message is built based at least in part on a successful state check, a successful validation, and selecting an encryption algorithm from the proposal list. The authentication response message is sent from the LKM to the responder channel.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2020Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Richard Mark Sczepczenski, Mooheng Zee, John R.
