  • Publication number: 20190281354
    Abstract: A method of utilizing tones includes receiving content including at least an audio portion for broadcast to a first plurality of users having a first recipient computing device and a second plurality of users having a second recipient computing device, receiving data comprising a first and a second message, determining one or more locations within the content for embedding the first and second messages, converting at least the first and second messages into a plurality of tones that cannot be directly detected by the first and second pluralities of users during broadcast, incorporating the plurality of tones into the content at the one or more locations, and providing the content with the plurality of tones for broadcast via a presentation device such that the plurality of tones are detected by the first and second recipient devices for determining at least one of the first and second messages.

  • Publication number: 20190089771
    Abstract: Embodiments of the systems described herein can implement one or more processes remotely delivering customized code to a host application and/or computing device. The host application may be configured as an Application Programming Interface with a customized code processing library that may configure the host application to receive further instructions remotely. The host application may be further configured to execute host code and/or third-party code. The host application may be configured to receive remote application logic, after the host application has been installed on a computing device, and to execute the received application logic to alter the behavior of the host application, such as selectively tracking end user interactions.

  • Publication number: 20190013879
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to systems and methods for communicating data with a tone-emitting device. A system for communicating an inaudible tone includes a tone-emitting device. The tone-emitting device includes a tone-emitting speaker for emitting an inaudible tone and a tone-determining computing device communicatively coupled to the tone-emitting speaker. The tone-determining computing device includes a non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores logic that, when executed by the tone-determining computing device, causes the tone-determining computing device to receive data related to a characteristic of an object, encode an inaudible tone that represents at least a portion of the data and send instructions to the tone-emitting speaker for outputting the inaudible tone.

  • Patent number: 9213144
    Abstract: Optical and RF energy may be provided simultaneously or otherwise across a rotary coupler using separate communication paths. The rotary coupler may be provided with an optical transmission line that passes inside or through the center of an inner conductor of a coaxial RF transmission line that itself extends across the rotational interface/s of the rotary coupler. Both the optical transmission line and the RF transmission line may be positioned at, or close to, the axis of rotation of the rotary coupler. The rotary coupler may be configured to transfer optical and RF energy across rotational interface/s of the rotary coupler using an optical rotary joint positioned inside the inner conductor of a RF channel transmission line that itself is substantially centered at, and in line with, the rotational axis of the rotary coupler.

  • Patent number: 8402421
    Abstract: A method and system for subnet defect diagnostics through fault compositing is disclosed. A testing apparatus generates callout data for an integrated circuit device under test. A computer received the callout data, which includes a list of faults. Each fault of the list of faults has associated with it one or more failures and/or conflicts. In order to explain the failures, two or more faults are selected and composited, yielding a composite fault having a composite conflict count. The composite fault is assigned a score based on the composite conflict count, which score determines a candidate composite that best explains the faults of the list of faults. This procedure may be repeated to explain all the failures.
