Publication number: 20240095645Abstract: A method of generating customizable goal representation is disclosed. A request from a user to view a goal representation is received. A flexible goal ontology is accessed that comprises one or more goal entities, one or more goal relationships between the goal entities, or one or more goal properties, the one or more goal properties including one or more metadata attributes relating to the one or more goal entities. A set of mapping rules is obtained that defines mappings between one or more goals. The set of mapping rules is evaluated to assemble a customized goal representation tailored to the user. The customized goal representation is updated based on a revaluation of the mapping rules affected by changes to the one or more goal entities, the one or more goal relationships, or the one or more properties.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Sven Martin Andreas Elfgren, Friedrich I.

Publication number: 20170273338Abstract: Beverage products are provided, e.g., a ready to drink cola beverage or a cola beverage concentrate or syrup, including water or carbonated water, acidulant comprising at least one acid, rebaudioside D present in a sweetening amount, and flavoring comprising cola flavoring. Rebaudioside D may be the only sweetener, or alternatively the beverage product further contains one or more additional sweeteners, for example rebaudioside A and/or other high intensity sweetener(s). Rebaudioside D optionally provides at least 10% of the total sweetening of the beverage product according to certain embodiments. Also, a natural carbonated cola beverage product and a beverage product are each provided containing a sweetening amount of rebaudioside D. The rebaudioside D ingredient used in certain methods of making the beverage products disclosed here optionally has a purity, i.e., a rebaudioside D concentration, of 93% or greater, such as 95% or greater, by weight.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2017Publication date: September 28, 2017Inventors: Thomas Lee, Laura Ann Nattress, William Riha

Patent number: 8261314Abstract: A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a gateway including a controller adapted to transmit media content to a group of set top boxes that are associated with a premises and that each have a presentation device connected thereto where the presentation devices are in proximity to each other, receive a plurality of streams of the media content from a media server where the streams are of the same media content, and apply a delay compensation to delivery of the plurality of streams to one or more set top boxes of the group of set top boxes to synchronize presentation of the media content at each of the presentation devices, where the delay compensation is based on a transmission delay and a receipt delay, where the transmission delay is between each of the group of set top boxes and the gateway, and where the receipt delay is between the gateway and the media server. Other embodiments are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2009Date of Patent: September 4, 2012Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, LPInventor: William Riha

Patent number: 7980767Abstract: An optical fiber connection system detects when proper connection is made between a fiber-optic cable and a bulkhead. A conductive strip on the fiber-optic cable contacts a first and second conductor on the bulkhead upon proper positioning of the bulkhead relative to the fiber-optic cable. The system includes indicators for displaying which of a plurality of termination points is properly terminated. In addition, the system includes alternative embodiments for turning off an energy source feeding the fiber-optic cable, in the event the fiber-optic cable becomes disconnected from the bulkhead.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2009Date of Patent: July 19, 2011Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventor: William Riha
