Patent number: 11986221Abstract: An implantable spacer for placement between adjacent spinous processes in a spinal motion segment is provided. The spacer includes a body defining a longitudinal axis and passageway. A first arm and a second arm are connected to the body. Each arm has a pair of extensions and a saddle defining a U-shaped configuration for seating a spinous process therein. Each arm has a proximal earning surface and is capable of rotation with respect to the body. An actuator assembly is disposed inside the passageway and connected to the body. When advanced, a threaded shaft of the actuator assembly contacts the earning surfaces of arms to rotate them from an undeployed configuration to a deployed configuration. In the deployed configuration, the distracted adjacent spinous processes are seated in the U-shaped portion of the arms.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2022Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: VertiFlex, Inc.Inventors: Moti Altarac, Shawn Tebbe, Joey Camia Reglos, Yang Cheng, Murali P.

Patent number: 11972307Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that can be invoked while a user is interfacing with a foreground application in order to retrieve data from one or more different applications, and then provide the retrieved data to the foreground application. A user can invoke the automated assistant while operating the foreground application by providing a spoken utterance, and the automated assistant can select one or more other applications to query based on content of the spoken utterance. Application data collected by the automated assistant from the one or more other applications can then be used to provide an input to the foreground application. In this way, the user can bypass switching between applications in the foreground in order to retrieve data that has been generated by other applications.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2019Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Bohdan Vlasyuk, Behshad Behzadi, Mario Bertschler, Denis Burakov, Daniel Cotting, Michael Golikov, Lucas Mirelmann, Steve Cheng, Sergey Nazarov, Zaheed Sabur, Jonathan Lee, Lucia Terrenghi, Adrian Zumbrunnen

Patent number: 11948576Abstract: Implementations can reduce the time required to obtain responses from an automated assistant through proactive caching, locally at a client device, of proactive assistant cache entries—and through on-device utilization of the proactive assistant cache entries. Different proactive cache entries can be provided to different client devices, and various implementations relate to technique(s) utilized in determining which proactive cache entries to provide to which client devices. In some of those implementations, in determining which proactive cache entries to provide (proactively or in response to a request) to a given client device, a remote system selects, from a superset of candidate proactive cache entries, a subset of the cache entries for providing to the given client device.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2023Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Daniel Cotting, Zaheed Sabur, Lan Huo, Bryan Christopher Horling, Behshad Behzadi, Lucas Mirelmann, Michael Golikov, Denis Burakov, Steve Cheng, Bohdan Vlasyuk, Sergey Nazarov, Mario Bertschler, Luv Kothari

Patent number: 11928962Abstract: A system for location risk determination and ranking based on vehicle events and/or an accident database includes an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive accident data and/or event data. The processor is configured to determine a set of incident groups, wherein an incident group of the set of incident groups is associated with a set of accidents of the accident data and/or a set of events of the event data that are grouped by location proximity. The processor is further configured to determine a set of traffic estimations, wherein a traffic estimation of the set of traffic estimations is associated with the incident group of the set of incident groups; and determine a ranking of the set of incident groups based at least in part on the set of accidents, the set of events, and the set of traffic estimations.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2023Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Lytx, Inc.Inventors: Dennis Cheng, Daniel Witriol

Patent number: 11805139Abstract: A multiclass classifier generates a probability vector for individual data units of an input data stream. The probability vector has prediction probability values for classes that the multiclass classifier has been trained to detect. A class with the highest prediction probability value among the classes in a probability vector is selected as the predicted class. A confidence score is calculated based on the prediction probability value of the class. Confidence scores of the class are accumulated within a sliding window. The class is declared to be the detected class of the input data stream when the accumulated value of the class meets an accumulator threshold. A security policy for an application program that is mapped to the class is enforced against the input data stream.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2021Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: Trend Micro IncorporatedInventors: Chinghsien Liao, Daniel Cheng

Patent number: 11319229Abstract: An aeration device pertaining to the technical field of sewage treatment includes a flow mixing chamber and an air inlet chamber. The flow mixing chamber has a liquid inlet opening, a liquid outlet opening, and an air inlet hole penetrating the chamber wall and located inside the air inlet chamber. The air inlet chamber has an air inlet opening and an interior space whose cross-sectional area is gradually reduced along the liquid flow direction in the flow mixing chamber. The cross-sectional area and number of the air inlet hole can be properly set in order for the mixed fluid produced by the aeration device to have relatively high-density small-diameter air bubbles that contribute to mixing the liquid flow and air flow sufficiently, dissolving oxygen rapidly and sufficiently into the liquid flow, increasing the oxygen dissolution rate of the mixed fluid, and enhancing aeration efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2020Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Inventor: Man Chung Daniel Cheng
