  • Publication number: 20230359667
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to infrastructure for queryable supergraph subset representations. Briefly, in at least one implementations, an apparatus may comprise at least one processor of at least one computing device to obtain a source graph schema, obtain an input from a user, wherein the input from the user to at least specify one or more filters, generate one or more subset representations of the source graph schema based at least in part on the specified one or more filters, and provide access to the one or more subset representations of the source graph schema for one or more particular entities and deny access to one or more aspects of the source graph schema absent from the one or more subset representations for the one or more particular entities.

  • Patent number: 10542432
    Abstract: A system includes an electronic device comprising: a processor; an exercise tracker stored on a tangible memory, the exercise tracker configured to analyze an exercise routine of the user and to identify at least one drag portion of the exercise routine, the drag portion of the exercise routine corresponding to an increased exertion from the user; and a song manager stored on the tangible memory, the song manager configured to instruct a music player to play a power song associated with the user such that the power song is played for the user for at least a portion of a time the user spends in the drag portion of the exercise routine. The power song is correlated with increased exertion from the user. Without playing the power song, the drag portion of the exercise routine corresponds to a reduced exertion as compared to the increased exertion.

  • Patent number: 10028047
    Abstract: Headphones include removable audio drivers electrically coupled with electrical conductors using solderless and detachable interconnections. Driver assemblies for headphones include an audio driver and a driver unit housing. An acoustical cavity is defined between the driver unit housing and the audio driver, and a port extends through the driver unit housing between the acoustical cavity and the exterior of the driver assembly. The driver unit housing is configured to be secured within an outer ear-cup housing of a headphone such that the port is open to the exterior of the headphone without communicating acoustically with a volume outside the driver unit housing and within the outer ear-cup housing. Headphones include such driver assemblies. Methods are used to form such headphones and driver assemblies.

  • Patent number: 9961544
    Abstract: The disclosure includes a system including media assets and an access system. The media assets include standard media and restricted media. The restricted media is different from the standard media. The access system receives an accessory identifier from a client device communicatively coupled to an accessory associated with the accessory identifier. The access system further authorizes access for the client device to the restricted media based at least in part on the accessory identifier. The standard media is accessible to the client device regardless of the access system receiving the accessory identifier. The restricted media is not accessible to the client device when the access system has not received the accessory identifier.
