Patent number: 10616293Abstract: A system and method for providing gaming media streams. One or more users request a gaming media stream broadcast corresponding to game play. A broadcast service obtains the gaming media stream that includes a gaming stream identifier and user identifier. The broadcast service can also determine whether users qualify for entitlements based on state information corresponding to a binding of two or more separable user accounts. The broadcast service provides the gaming media stream and qualified entitlements.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2017Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jing Zeng, Yannick Theil, Ryan Ragona, Shane Whitfield, Meir Wasserman, Jeremy Bird, Stephen Levy, Patrick Elliott, Eric McCambridge

Publication number: 20190211536Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for providing power and/or communication to a device, such as a dispenser, a flush valve of a bathroom device, a hygiene opportunity measurement device, a hands free faucet, etc. For example, a mounting system comprises a mounting plate that may attach to a structure, such as a wall. The mounting plate may comprise a mounting connector that may be configured to mate with a device connector of the device to establish a connection. Power may be provided to the device through the connection. A communication may be provided for the device through the connection. For example, the device may send current device statuses, usage metrics, and/or other information to a remote source. The remote source may send instructions, data collection requests, functionality changes, and/or other information to the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2019Publication date: July 11, 2019Inventors: Jackson William Wegelin, Nick Ermanno Ciavarella, Stephen Levy

Patent number: 10022024Abstract: An exemplary refill unit for a foam dispenser includes a container for holding a foamable liquid and a liquid pump connected to the container and an outlet nozzle. The liquid pump has a rigid back plate and a flexible membrane. The flexible membrane and the rigid back plate form an arcuate shaped liquid pump chamber. The rigid back plate has a liquid inlet located proximate a first end of the arcuate shaped pump chamber and a liquid outlet located proximate a second end of the arcuate shaped pump chamber. The liquid pump is actuated by progressive compression of the flexible membrane against the back plate.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2016Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignee: GOJO Industries, Inc.Inventors: Nick E. Ciavarella, John J. McNulty, Stephen A. Levy

Patent number: 9988667Abstract: Provided herein are methods and devices for single object detection. The methods and devices can be used to identify a plurality of epigenetic markers on a genetic material, or a chromatin, encompassing fragments thereof. The invention provides for the characterization of the genetic material flowing through a channel in a continuous body of fluid based on detection of one or more properties of the genetic material. The methods and systems provided herein allow genome-wide, high-throughput epigenetic analysis and overcome a variety of limitations common to bulk analysis techniques.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2016Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: Cornell UniversityInventors: Harold G. Craighead, Benjamin R. Cipriany, Stephen Levy, Paul Soloway

Patent number: 9605298Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for high speed sorting of objects in a continuous body of fluid. The object can be analyzed within one or more interrogation volumes that allow for simultaneous or time-correlated measurement of the object's properties. A processor can interpret the properties of the object and then measured and then direct the object to one of a plurality of downstream flow paths. In some embodiments, the sorting of the object is based on two or more properties of the object. The sorting process can be repeated to create a network of sorting events.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2010Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: Cornell UniversityInventors: Harold G.

Patent number: 9088600Abstract: A method for implementing a SIP feature includes, in particular embodiments, establishing a communication session via a communications platform between a first and second user and receiving a request from a third user to join the communication session. The second and third users are from a plurality of users using a shared line. The method further includes integrating communications of the third user into the communication session. In particular embodiments the method includes establishing a communication session between a first and second user via a communications platform. The method also includes receiving a select request that locks the communication session so that a third user cannot resume the communication session with the first user. In particular embodiments the method includes receiving a request from a first user of a shared line to enable a privacy feature that reduces call information generated by the communications platform in remote state notifications.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2014Date of Patent: July 21, 2015Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Daniel P.
