  • Patent number: 12387700
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for audio- and video-editing are provided. A reference file comprising a visual representation of a final audio/video project may be displayed. The visual representation can be musical notation rather than a wave form or a printed movie script rather than video content. A user may determine a first selection and the program may display a list of recordings in which at least a portion of this first selected section occurs. A user may click each line on the list to play each recording cued to the first selected section. The user may choose the best recording. The user may determine a second selection and similarly may choose the best recording of second section. Finally, the program may allow the user to splice both chosen recordings together.

  • Patent number: 12350029
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an electric field generator generates an electric field at a nominal frequency. A detector measures, at multiple time points during a measuring period, one or more properties of the generated electric field. In various embodiments, the one or more properties of the electric field change over time due to interactions with a human body in a reactive near-field region of the electric field. From the measured one or more properties, a computation unit determines one or more periodic behaviors (such as a respiration or heartbeat) and one or more non-periodic behaviors (such as movement of a limb). The computation unit also computes, from at least one of the periodic and non-periodic behaviors, one or more physiological parameters of the human body. From the one or more physiological parameters, the computation unit detects one or more symptoms of a condition of the human body.

  • Publication number: 20250211595
    Abstract: Technologies are described for managing metadata associated with external content. For example metadata can be obtained that describes content stored on external systems. The metadata can be obtained without locally storing the content items themselves. For example, the metadata can be retrieved from the external systems while the external content continues to be stored on the external systems. The metadata can also include indications of the actions that can be performed in relation to the external content. For example, actions can be obtained (e.g., locally determined and/or obtained from the external systems) and added to the metadata. The metadata can be stored and used locally. For example, the metadata can be used to locally perform the actions in relation to the external content. The metadata can also be used to locally initiate actions that are then carried out in the external systems.

  • Publication number: 20250190415
    Abstract: Technologies are described for managing multi-tenant identifiers (e.g., multi-tenant keys or multi-tenant database keys). Creating multi-tenant identifiers can comprise receiving a source system identifier from a source system, determining a source identity provider of the source system, creating a multi-tenant identifier representing a combination of the source system identifier and the source identity provider, and storing the created multi-tenant identifier. Using multi-tenant identifiers can comprise receiving a request to lookup a source system identifier, associated with a source system, in a multi-tenant identifier mapping table, determining a source identity provider of the source system, identifying an entry in the table with the source system identifier and the source identity provider, and returning a multi-tenant identifier associated with the identified entry in the table.

  • Patent number: 12310710
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an electric field generator generates an electric field at a nominal frequency and a nominal amplitude. The electric field generator is connected to an antenna that radiates the electric field. A detector measures a frequency and an amplitude of the generated electric field as the electric field interacts with a body (such as a human body) in a reactive near-field region of the electric field. For each of one or more internal components of the body, a computation unit determines a respective periodic behavior in the measured frequency corresponding to movement of the internal component. The computation unit also computes, for each of the one or more internal components, a respective rate of the movement of the internal component based on the determined respective periodic behavior in the measured frequency. A gain control circuit adjusts the nominal amplitude according to the measured amplitude.

  • Patent number: 12310709
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an electric field generator includes a differential oscillator that oscillates at a nominal frequency. The electric field generator is connected to a differential antenna that radiates an electric field. A differential detector measures a frequency of the generated electric field as the electric field interacts with a body (such as a human body) in a reactive near-field region of the electric field. For each of one or more internal components of the body, a computation unit determines a respective periodic behavior in the measured frequency indicative of movement of the internal component. The computation unit also computes, for each of the one or more internal components of the body, a respective rate of movement (such as a heart rate or a respiration rate) of the internal component according to the respective periodic behavior in the measured frequency.

  • Patent number: 12176587
    Abstract: Systems and methods of managing the voltage of fuel cells during no-load or low load events are disclosed. The systems may employ one or more valves such as an inlet and outlet valve for metering the fuel (e.g., hydrogen) and/or oxidant (e.g., oxygen) provided to the fuel cell. The voltage or voltage rise may be limited by starving the fuel cell of, for example, oxygen. A controller may be employed for controlling the one or more valves during a no-load or low load event such as start-up, idling, or stopping.
