Media channel identification and action with multi-match detection and disambiguation based on matching with differential reference-fingerprint feature
11290776 · 2022-03-29 · ·

A computing system compares various reference fingerprints each representing a reference media stream broadcast on a different respective known channel, and the computing system determines that a plurality of the reference fingerprints match each other, thus defining a multi-match group of the matching reference fingerprints. In response, the computing system identifies a fingerprint feature that could define a distinction between the reference fingerprints, and the computing system resolves the multi-match based on the identified feature, thereby determining the channel carrying the media stream being rendered by the media presentation device. And the server then takes channel-specific action based on the determined channel.

CONTIGUOUS SOUND ATTENUATING PANEL SYSTEM
20220081915 · 2022-03-17 · ·

The present disclosure describes a contiguous sound attenuating panel system. The sound attenuating panel has a top surface, a bottom surface, a first end, a second end, an adhesive strip on the top surface of the first end, and an engagement flap on the top surface of the second end. The adhesive strip has a first edge and a second edge. The second edge is located further from the first end than the first edge. When installed, the first end of a first sound attenuating panel abuts and is substantially coplanar with the second end of a second sound attenuating panel. The width of the engagement flap of the second sound attenuating panel terminates substantially at the location of the second edge of the adhesive strip of the first sound attenuating panel such that the engagement flap contacts and substantially covers the adhesive strip.

A composite strip structure includes an adhesive strip assembly and a sheet plate. The adhesive strip assembly has a sandwiched composite laminate construction and includes a PU layer, an EVA layer, a PSA layer, and an SBR layer. The PU layer is disposed at a bottom of the strip assembly and has a bottom face abutting a ground or wall. The EVA layer has a bottom face abutting a top face of the PU layer. The SBR layer is arranged between the EVA layer and the PSA layer. The PSA layer is disposed at a top of the strip assembly. The PSA layer has a bottom face abutting a top face of the SBR layer and has a top face abutting the sheet plate.

Panel

A panel having a panel upper side and a panel lower side and at least two opposing panel edges, which have each an edge break on the panel upper side, the edge breaks forming in the connected state a joint in a covering surface. The edge break of one of the panel edges is formed larger than the edge break of the opposing panel edge, and a lower part of the large edge break of the one panel edge is overlapped in the connected state by the small edge break of the opposing panel edge.

Moisture curable adhesive composition and method for installing hardwood floors

An adhesive composition for adhesively bonding floor coverings to a variety of substrates. The composition includes 0.2 to 10 weight percent of a plurality of irregularly shaped spacer particles of size 0.5 mm to 10 mm; 10 to 50 weight percent of a moisture curable polymer system; and 40 to 90 weight percent of additives for modifying physical properties of the composition. The adhesive has a composition such that, when cured, results in an elastomeric film of uniform thickness that exhibits controlled moisture vapor transmission and sound abatement properties. A floor structure and a method for constructing the floor structure using the adhesive composition are also provided.

Method and System for Detecting and Responding to Changing of Media Channel
20210337267 · 2021-10-28 ·

A computing system receives from a media presentation device a query fingerprint stream representing media content being presented by the media presentation device, where the query fingerprint stream has been determined to represent a first channel. The computing system then detects that a threshold mismatch exists between the received query fingerprint stream and a reference fingerprint stream representing the first channel, thus indicating a likelihood that the media presentation device has transitioned from presenting the first channel to presenting a second channel. Responsive to detecting the threshold mismatch, the system thus discontinues channel-specific action with respect to the first channel. For instance, the system could discontinue superimposing of first-channel-specific content on the presented media content and perhaps start superimposing of second-channel-specific content instead.

Media Channel Identification with Multi-Match Detection and Disambiguation Based on Location
20210235154 · 2021-07-29 ·

Disclosed are methods and systems involving location-based disambiguation of media channel identification, in a scenario where a fingerprint of media content being rendered by a media presentation device matches multiple reference fingerprints corresponding respectively with multiple different media channels. Upon detecting such a multi-match situation, a server or other entity will use a location of the media presentation device as a basis to disambiguate between the matching reference fingerprints and thus to determine the channel on which the media content being rendered by the media presentation device is arriving.
