Publication number: 20240140709Abstract: Automated cold storage unit and systems for storing, monitoring, and maintaining a supply of temperature sensitive pharmaceutical and/or other products in compliance with regulatory requirements are provided. Such units contain an array of independently addressable holding locations for containers with product in one or more controlled temperature zones fitted with temperature sensors. The units include a reader to track product information and status. Product movement within the unit is performed by a computer-controlled robot. A user interface device, preferably in communication with an application service provider to provide remotely managed inventory management and other services, provides users with secure access to the contents of the unit and associated product data and information.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicant: TruMed Systems, Inc.Inventors: Robert James MANNING, Eugene Abraham BAKER, Kevin Lee BOKELMAN, Daniel KLINE, George M. WOHLHIETER, Anthony David BARGHINI, Wesly Hardin BILLMAN, Dan J. DULL, Nicholas James SNYDER, Mark MAJETTE

Patent number: 11941840Abstract: Apparatuses and methods determine the three-dimensional position and orientation of a fiducial marker and tracking the three-dimensional position and orientation across different fields-of-view. Methods include: capturing an image of a first space in which the fiducial marker is disposed with a first sensor having a first field-of-view; determining the three-dimensional location and orientation of the fiducial marker within the first space based on the image of the first space in which the fiducial marker is disposed; capturing an image of a second space in which the fiducial marker is disposed with a second sensor having a second field-of-view; calculating pan and tilt information for the second sensor to move the second field-of-view of the second sensor to acquire an image of the fiducial marker; and determining the three-dimensional location and orientation of the fiducial marker within the second space based on the image of the second space.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANYInventors: Yang Chen, Deepak Khosla, David Huber, Brandon M. Courter, Shane E. Arthur, Chris A. Cantrell, Anthony W. Baker

Patent number: 10922285Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for a distributed parallel processing database system that persists table data in memory to a distributed file system. A distributed parallel processing database system persists table data in memory to a distributed file system. A parameter of creating a database table specifies that data records in the database table and history of changes to the data records can be stored in memory as well as in the distributed file system. When the database table is populated or otherwise modified, data records and the history in memory are evicted to the distributed file system as log files and removed from memory. The log files can be designated as write-only, where the data records, once written, cannot be read by structured query language (SQL) queries, or as read-write, where the data records, once written, can be read by SQL queries.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2017Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: Pivotal Software, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Allen Smith, Anthony M. Baker, Sumedh Wale, Hemant Bhanawat, Jagannathan Ramnarayanan, Swapnil Prakash Bawaskar, Ashvin Agrawal, Neeraj Kumar

Patent number: 10417203Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for obtaining one or more metadata files, determining, by one or more computers and in accordance with a minor compaction setting, to perform a minor compaction of the one or more metadata files, creating one or more intermediate metadata files that each include at least compacted contacts of one or more of the metadata files, according to the determination to perform minor compaction of the one or more metadata files, determining, in accordance with a major compaction setting, to perform a major compaction of one or more of the intermediate metadata files, and creating one or more snapshot metadata files that each include at least compacted contents of one or more of the intermediate metadata files, according to the determination to perform the major compaction of one or more of the intermediate metadata files.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2017Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: Pivotal Software, Inc.Inventors: Jagannathan Ramnarayanan, Ashvin Agrawal, Anthony M.

Patent number: 10382549Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for distributed data management. One of the methods includes maintaining, by a first member in a distributed data management system having multiple computing members installed on multiple respective computers, a first garbage collection version vector that includes, for each member in the distributed data management system, a garbage collection version that represents a number of garbage collection processes performed by the member on a respective copy of a replicated data region maintained by the member in the data management system. If the first garbage collection version vector is different than a second garbage collection version vector received from a different provider member, a first replication process is performed that is different than a second replication process that is performed when the first garbage collection version vector matches the second garbage collection version vector.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2014Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: Pivotal Software, Inc.Inventors: Sumedh Wale, Neeraj Kumar, Daniel Allen Smith, Jagannathan Ramnarayanan, Suranjan Kumar, Hemant Bhanawat, Anthony M.

Patent number: 9639548Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for identifying two or more files, each of which include multiple entries, determining a respective size of each of the files, each size being an estimate of how many distinct entries exist in the respective file that are not garbage entries, determining a combined size of the files, where the combined size of the files is an arithmetic sum of the respective sizes of the files, estimating a compacted size of the files, where the estimated compacted size of the files is an estimate of how many distinct entries exist in the files that are not garbage entries, selecting the two or more files for compaction, based at least on a comparison of the combined size of the files to the estimated compacted size of the files, and compacting the two or more selected files.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2014Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: Pivotal Software, Inc.Inventors: Swapnil Prakash Bawaskar, Daniel Allen Smith, Anthony M.
