  • Patent number: 11445271
    Abstract: A method provides for tracking client playback events when playing an asset specified in a manifest for streaming adaptive bit rate (ABR) content. The method includes generating, with a manifest manipulator, a manifest that includes an asset URL inserted at a marker denoting a placement opportunity in a content manifest requested by a client. The manifest also includes callback URLs for tracking playback events to be returned by the client. The manifest manipulator sends the manifest to the client. At least one of the callback URLs is received by a tracking proxy associated with the manifest manipulator, indicating that the event has been performed by the client. In response, a tracking URL is obtained by the tracking proxy. The tracking URL is sent to at least one asset decision system participating in an asset decision process that resulted in providing the asset URL to the manifest manipulator.

  • Patent number: 11431008
    Abstract: Techniques of deploying fuel cells in a facility are described herein. In one embodiment, a method includes identifying a location of the receptacle at the facility that the fuel cell is connected upon detecting the fuel connector of the second side of the carrier being coupled to a fuel port at a receptacle at the facility. The method can then include generating and storing, in a database, a fuel cell record indicating that the fuel cell is physically connected to the receptacle at the identified location in the facility and instructing a control device in the facility corresponding to the identified location to provide fuel to the fuel cell via the fuel port, the fuel connector, the connection between the first side and the second side of the carrier, and the fuel inlet of the fuel cell.

  • Patent number: 11430169
    Abstract: Systems and methods generating an animation rig corresponding to a pose of a subject include accessing image data corresponding to the pose of the subject. The image data can include the face of the subject. The systems and methods process the image data by successively analyzing subregions of the image according to a solver order. The solver order can be biologically or anatomically ordered to proceed from subregions that cause larger scale movements to subregions that cause smaller scale movements. In each subregion, the systems and methods can perform an optimization technique to fit parameters of the animation rig to the input image data. After all subregions have been processed, the animation rig can be used to animate an avatar to appear to be performing the pose of the subject.

  • Patent number: 11416786
    Abstract: Improving the operations of a computer system that is located within a power grid and that is associated with its own power sources. Past operational characteristics of the power grid are analyzed to derive learned characteristics for the power grid. Future operational characteristics of the power grid are also monitored. A prediction regarding a future load event associated with the power grid is then generated using the learned characteristics and the monitored characteristics. In response to this prediction, one or more operations are performed to balance the computer system with the power grid during the future load event, and to ensure a determined availability of services associated with the computer system during the future load event.

  • Patent number: 11397939
    Abstract: Facilitating transaction status indications for point-of-sale (POS) systems is described. A POS application stored on a POS terminal of a POS system may communicate with a payment reader device coupled to the POS terminal and a payment server application. The POS application may receive, from a customer device associated with a customer and via a short-range communication network, payment information for satisfying a cost of a transaction. The POS application may send the payment information to the payment server application to attempt to authorize the payment information for the cost of the transaction and may receive, from the payment server application, an indication of a status of the transaction. Responsive to receiving the indication of the status of the transaction, the payment reader device and the customer device may output respective aspects of a transaction status indication associated with the status of the transaction.

  • Patent number: 11392195
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure enable automated recognition of user performed activities and tasks using sensor data by receiving raw sensor data while a user performs a series of activities wearing at least one sensor for a predetermined interval of time. The raw sensor data is converted into a set of feature values. An action recognition machine learning model is used to generate action labels indicative of actions performed by the user during the predetermined interval of time based on trained action model parameters and the set of feature values. A task recognition machine learning model is used to generate task labels indicative of tasks performed by the user during the predetermined interval of time based on trained task model parameters, the set of action labels and the set of feature values, and a message is displayed with an indication of the task labels to a user.

  • Publication number: 20220206773
    Abstract: According to some aspects, techniques are provided for building and deploying a machine learning application that do not require a user to have expert knowledge of machine learning or programming. These techniques may be executed by a system that provides a graphical user interface which allows a user to visually define a workflow for a machine learning application, without requiring the user to be an expert in machine learning. The system may automatically represent the workflow as a specification that may be used to build and deploy a machine learning application. The system may automatically execute the workflow in a series of stages while managing data flow and execution context between the stages. Such an execution process may provide flexibility in execution so that a user can build a complex machine learning application without it being necessary for the user to have detailed knowledge of how execution is managed.
