Publication number: 20240129573Abstract: A processing system receives a user-generated media recording, and metadata associated with the user-generated feedback, from a first device. The user-generated media recording is a recording of the public end-user captured during a live media broadcast using a public-user interface on the first device. The metadata includes information linking the user-generated media recording to the live media broadcast. The system stores the user-generated media recording and the first metadata in one or more storage devices, and transmits a version of the user-generated media recording and at least a portion of the first metadata to a private-user interface on a second device. The private-user interface is configured to receive input from a private end-user selecting the version of the user-generated media recording for broadcast during the same live media broadcast during which the user-generated media recording was created.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2022Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: iHeartMedia Management Services, Inc.Inventors: Albert Curtis Mitchell, Michael Scott Woodruff, Adam Michael Roberts, Steven Douglas Wight, Siu Leung Chan, Jacob Earl Bolton, Stephen William Bain, Qian Chang, Davis Scott Harlan

Publication number: 20220083679Abstract: Processing user-triggered, broker-assisted workflows. A content management system is configured to host a hierarchy of content objects that are partitioned into two or more user contexts. A first workflow object is configured and then stored into a first one of the two or more user contexts. A computer-implemented service agent is configured to receive a workflow trigger from an event raised in a second one of the two or more user contexts. The computer-implemented service agent executes in the second one of the two or more user contexts while processing the first workflow object using permissions that are associated with the first one of the two or more user contexts. The computer-implemented service agent processes the workflow object in the context of the first one of the two or more user contexts. Results from execution of the workflow objects are provided to the process that raised the workflow trigger.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2021Publication date: March 17, 2022Applicant: Box, Inc.Inventors: Stephen Hiller, Jón Tómas Grétarsson, Steven Chang, Ivan SABININ, Ravneet UBEROI

Patent number: 9832853Abstract: An extreme ultraviolet light system includes a steering system that steers and focuses an amplified light beam traveling along a propagation direction to a focal plane near a target location within an extreme ultraviolet light chamber, a detection system including at least one detector positioned to detect an image of a laser beam reflected from at least a portion of a target material within the chamber, a wavefront modification system in the path of the reflected laser beam and between the target location and the detection system, and a controller. The wavefront modification system is configured to modify the wavefront of the reflected laser beam as a function of a target focal plane position along the propagation direction. The controller includes logic for adjusting a location of the focal plane of the amplified light beam relative to the target material based on the detected image of the reflected laser beam.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2014Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: ASML Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Matthew R.

Patent number: 9755396Abstract: A method and apparatus for control of a dose of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation generated by a laser produced plasma (LPP) EUV light source that combines pulse control mode and pulse modulation. The EUV energy created by each pulse is measured and total EUV energy created by the fired pulses determined, a desired energy for the next pulse is determined based upon whether the total EUV energy is greater or less than a desired average EUV energy times the number of pulses. If the desired pulse energy for the next droplet is within the range of one or more pulse modulation actuators, the pulse is modulated; otherwise, the pulse is fired to miss the droplet. This provides greater control of the accumulated dose as well as uniformity of the EUV energy over time, greater ability to compensate for pulses that generate EUV energy that is higher or lower than nominal expected values, and ability to provide an average EUV energy per pulse that is less than the nominal minimum EUV energy per pulse of the system.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2016Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: ASML Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Paul Frihauf, Andrew Liu, Spencer Rich, Matthew R.
