Patent number: 10614854Abstract: Provided is a system for efficiently creating snippets or clips from media assets without re-encoding the entire portion of already encoded media content falling within the snippet boundaries. The system partitions and encodes the original media asset as set of slices with each slice encoding a different temporal chunk of the media asset. The system identifies a first slice that encodes a duration of the media asset spanning the snippet start time, and a second slice that encodes a duration of the media asset spanning the snippet end time. The system produces a snippet start slice from decoding, clipping, and re-encoding the first slice and a snippet end slice from decoding, clipping, and re-encoding the second slice. The system generates the snippet from the snippet start slice, an unmodified subset of the set of slices between the first slice and the second slice, and the snippet end slice.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2018Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: Verizon Digital Media Services Inc.Inventors: Calvin Ryan Owen, Tyler Willey, David Frederick Brueck

Patent number: 10545514Abstract: Provided is a flow rate control apparatus that includes a flow restrictor, a downstream side valve, a downstream side pressure sensor, first and second flow rate calculators, and a flow rate controller. The downstream side valve is disposed downstream of the flow restrictor in a flow path. The downstream side pressure sensor measures a pressure between the flow restrictor and the downstream side valve. The first flow rate calculator calculates a first flow rate of fluid flowing through the flow restrictor. The second flow rate calculator calculates a second flow rate of fluid flowing out of the downstream side valve on the basis of the first flow rate and the temporal variation in downstream side pressure measured by the downstream side pressure sensor. The flow rate controller controls the downstream side valve on the basis of a set flow rate and the second flow rate.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2018Date of Patent: January 28, 2020Assignee: HORIBA STEC, Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tadahiro Yasuda, Bill White, Patrick Lowery, Maximilian Gundlach, Ryan Owens
