  • Patent number: 10659506
    Abstract: A method for reducing bandwidth needed for streaming media content. The method includes identifying, by the streaming media server, a subset of a plurality of media content items having a portion of media data in common and extracting, by the streaming media server, the common portion from a first media content item of the subset; generating, by the streaming media server, a common media package comprising the extracted common portion, providing, by the streaming media server to a client media device, the common media package, and receiving, by the streaming media server from the client media device, a request for an item of content. The method also includes selecting an item of content from the subset; and transmitting, by the streaming media server to the client media device, an identification of the common media package and an identification of a chunk of the selected item of content subsequent to the common portion.

  • Patent number: 10652294
    Abstract: A stream hosting server generates anchors associated with a live stream, each anchor specifying a timestamp of the live stream that represents an opportune moment for a user to join the live stream. When a viewer client device sends a request to join the live stream, the stream hosting server analyzes the anchor list and selects an appropriate anchor. The stream hosting server provides the live stream to the viewer client device beginning at the timestamp specified by the anchor. Thus, the viewer client device can begin displaying the live stream at the opportune moment specified by the anchor. The stream hosting server also creates video on demand content that include a completed live stream as well as anchors associated with the live stream. The viewer client device can display the VOD beginning at different anchors.

  • Publication number: 20200019411
    Abstract: The invention relates to a configuration implementation system that allows users to maintain configurations for production resources (e.g., application, systems, or the like) in a main configuration table, and multiple versions of the configurations in branch configuration tables in order to deploy and test the branch configurations independently of each other based on implementation schedules. Moreover, the configurations in the configuration branches can be implemented in various releases for the production resource as necessary and merged into the other branches in order to maintain consistency with the production resource and to identify any discrepancies between the configuration branches. The invention also utilizes script patterns to create scripts to implement the configuration changes in the production resources un a uniform way regardless of the user that is creating, modifying, deploying, testing, and/or implementing the configurations through the various branches.

  • Patent number: 10509132
    Abstract: A radiation detection system may include a mobile device having a flash memory. The device may monitor various characteristics of the flash memory to determine when damage to the flash memory has occurred from radiation exposure. The device may associate damage to the flash memory with a radiation dose, and determine a level of radiation to which the memory, and thus the device, has been exposed. The device also may determine a length of time and locations where the radiation exposure has occurred. If the device determines that the level of radiation exposure exceeds a threshold associated with a safe level of radiation exposure for a human user, the device may generate an alert to the user.
