Patent number: 11113411Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to a system configured to obtain external credentials for a user account external to a content management system, wherein the external credentials are associated with a content item stored on the content management system. The system receives, from a client device, a client request for data associated with the external user account and transmits, to an external source, a proxy-request for the data associated with the external user account, wherein the proxy-request comprises the external credentials. The system further receives the data associated with the external account and transmits the data associated with the external account to the client device.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2017Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: Dropbox, Inc.Inventors: Alexander Embiricos, Matt Broussard, Willy Wu, Jennifer Lee, Igor Kofman, Micah Sivitz, AJ Palkovic

Patent number: 10123113Abstract: A selective audio source enhancement system includes a processor and a memory, and a pre-processing unit configured to receive audio data including a target audio signal, and to perform sub-band domain decomposition of the audio data to generate buffered outputs. In addition, the system includes a target source detection unit configured to receive the buffered outputs, and to generate a target presence probability corresponding to the target audio signal, as well as a spatial filter estimation unit configured to receive the target presence probability, and to transform frames buffered in each sub-band into a higher resolution frequency-domain. The system also includes a spectral filtering unit configured to retrieve a multichannel image of the target audio signal and noise signals associated with the target audio signal, and an audio synthesis unit configured to extract an enhanced mono signal corresponding to the target audio signal from the multichannel image.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2017Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: SYNAPTICS INCORPORATEDInventors: Francesco Nesta, Trausti Thormundsson, Willie Wu

Publication number: 20170203566Abstract: A multinozzle deposition system for direct write applications comprises a body including a first network of microchannels embedded therein, where the first network of microchannels extends from a parent microchannel through a series of furcations to a plurality of branching microchannels. The series consists of k generations with furcation number m where the kth generation includes mk branching microchannels. A first end of the body includes a single inlet to the parent microchannel and a second end of the body includes mk outlets from the branching microchannels, where k is an integer greater than or equal to 1 and m is an integer greater than or equal to 2. The body comprises a material having a sufficient rigidity to sustain a pressure in the microchannels of about 690 kPa or greater without distortion.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2017Publication date: July 20, 2017Applicant: The Board of Trustees of the University of IllinoisInventors: Jennifer A.
