Patent number: 11949277Abstract: Controlling charging of connected devices is provided. Presence of a target connected device is detected using a wireless transceiver of a vehicle. Settings indicative of how to charge the target connected device via a power connector of the vehicle are received a user interface presented to an HMI of the vehicle. Data packets from the target connected device indicative of a current state of charge of the target connected device are received using the wireless transceiver. The target connected device is charged from the power connector in accordance with the settings and the current state of charge.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Daniel Sullivan, Brendan Jenkins, Tyler James-Ray Kaldobsky, George Hart Vrampas

Patent number: 11554660Abstract: A modular electric wheel assembly includes integral/in-built acceleration and braking componentry and/or steering and suspension componentry allowing for the modular application thereof. Each modular wheel assembly may receive drive control data from various sensors (such as accelerator and brake pedal position sensors, steering column rotational offset sensors and the like), vehicle control systems or the like so as to be able to independently drive, brake, steer and/or provide active suspension for the vehicle. The wheel assemblies may communicate with each other across a wheel assembly vehicular network, wherein a master wheel assembly may receive drive control data and control the slave wheel assemblies accordingly. The modular wheel assemblies may further communicate with each other to receive various sensor data, including rotational speed sensor data so as to be able to detect loss of traction events and the like so as to substantially autonomously take remedial traction control action.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2021Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Inventor: Brendan Hart

Patent number: 10006978Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a system for signal processing. The system includes a selection circuitry and a coordination detection circuitry. The selection circuitry is configured to receive data sets sampled at different time for a subject and select a plurality of data units from each data set that corresponds to regions of interests in the data set. The coordination detection circuitry is configured to receive the selected data units corresponding to the regions of interests over time, and detect a coordination of the regions of interests over time.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2015Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: LEIDOS INNOVATIONS TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Corey Brendan Hart, William J. Rose

Patent number: 9468895Abstract: This document describes an advanced laboratory platform rocker. An electronic circuit controls the rotation of the shaft of a motor. The shaft is coupled to the platform, such that the angular position of the platform is controllable, as a function of time, enabling non-periodic and non-steady motion. The rotation of the platform can be used to perform other functions, such as initiating the dispensing of liquid into a tray on the platform, and dispersing of liquid from a tray on the platform.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2014Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: Forward Biotech, Inc.Inventors: Brendan Hart, David Grinnell, Ian Glasgow
