Patent number: 10819652Abstract: Tags may be used in decisions by an access management service regarding access of computing resources (“resources”) by principals (e.g., users, roles, etc.). The tags may also be used to determine cost information, for grouping resources and/or principals, and for other reasons. The tags may be assigned to principals, to resources, or both. The resource may be a virtual or physical type of computing resource. Tags may be metadata, which may include a key-value pair. Tags may include email addresses, cost centers, project identifiers, location, team name, etc. The value may be a number, letters, or a combination of both. In some embodiments, the values may be limited to certain numbers or bytes, and some numbers and/or letter combinations may be excluded for special use.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2018Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jasmeet Chhabra, Jing Zhuang, Uzma Arjuman, Ajith Harshana Ranabahu, Travis William Hickey

Patent number: 10768772Abstract: Techniques for context-aware recommendations of relevant presentation content are disclosed. In some configurations, the techniques involve the processing of contextual data from one or more resources to dynamically direct a presentation. A computing device can receive contextual data from one or more resources. The contextual data can be processed to select one or more sections of content data, e.g., a slide of a slide deck or a page of document. The computing device can then cause a display of the one or more sections on one or more devices. In some configurations, a hardware display surface can be configured to provide a real-world view of an object, e.g., a model or other item that may be related to the presentation, through the hardware display surface while also providing a display of the one or more sections of the presenter's material.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2015Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Travis William Steiner, Shannon Richard Monroe, Emiko Valiane Charbonneau, Michal Hlavac, Brian Murphy, David M.

Patent number: 9911348Abstract: A game delivery system delivers a plurality of games in a training program. The training program is configured to systematically drive neurological changes to overcome cognitive deficits associated with a neurological disorder. In one embodiment, the training program includes an initial batch of games that predominantly exercise elemental, lower-level cognitive processes and sensory deficits. After a game participant progresses through the initial batch of games, the training program provides games that impose comparatively greater higher-order cognitive processing requirements on the participant. A clinician portal provides remote access to a clinician to data about the game participant's compliance and performance with the training program. The clinician portal also enables the administrator to configure the training program.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2016Date of Patent: March 6, 2018Assignee: POSIT SCIENCE CORPORATIONInventors: Michael M.

Patent number: 9660841Abstract: Receiver circuitry is disclosed that can take circuit branches offline to possibly adapt an offset value. In one embodiment, a circuit in a receiver has at least two branches. Each branch includes an adjustor to adjust the branch signal by an offset value. Selection circuitry takes one of the branches offline by selecting the output of that branch as an offline value, and by selecting the output of one or more of the other branches as a data decision value. The selection circuitry changes which branch is taken offline during the operation of the circuit. When a branch is taken offline, an offset value associated with that branch may be updated, if necessary.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2016Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: INPHI CORPORATIONInventors: Stephane Dallaire, Benjamin P.
