Patent number: 11989621Abstract: Techniques regarding tiling a CR gate configuration to one or more lattices characterizing quantum circuit topologies are provided. For example, one or more embodiments described herein can comprise a system, which can comprise a memory that can store computer executable components. The system can also comprise a processor, operably coupled to the memory, and that can execute the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise a tiling component that can generate a cross-resonance gate configuration that delineates a control qubit assignment and a target qubit assignment in conjunction with a frequency allocation onto a lattice characterizing a quantum circuit topology.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2021Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Moein Malekakhlagh, Jared Barney Hertzberg, Easwar Magesan, Antonio Corcoles-Gonzalez, Maika Takita, David C. Mckay, Jason S. Orcutt

Patent number: 9789254Abstract: Provided is a cassette unit suitable for use with an auto-injector having a drive unit. The cassette unit comprises a cassette unit housing defining a cassette unit housing cavity, which is in receipt of a syringe, a rearward entrance to said cavity and a forward needle projection aperture. The cassette unit also comprises in capping relationship with the rearward entrance of the cassette unit housing, a cassette unit end-cap, said cassette unit end-cap defining a drive rod-receiving opening for receipt of a drive rod for providing forward axial drive to said plunger; a biasing element defining a biasing relationship between the cassette unit end-cap and an end flange of the syringe barrel, thereby urging the syringe forwards in relation to the cassette unit end-cap; and a damping element defining a damping relationship between the cassette unit end-cap and the flange of the syringe, thereby acting to damp rearward movement of the syringe relative to the cassette unit end-cap.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2015Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: UCB Biopharma SPRLInventors: Martin John McLoughlin, Michael James David Heald, Brian David Barney

Patent number: 9277278Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for enhancing audience measurement data. Offline and online audience measurement data may be compared and correlated to improve the quality of each data and source set. Positive correlations between the offline and online data sets related to a particular event may indicate demographic traits that are likely true, such that outliers may be removed from the set or considered at a reduced weight. Negative correlations may indicate that demographic information within a source set, such as the online measurement data, may be false or suspect.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2014Date of Patent: March 1, 2016Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: David Barney, Chao Cai, Timothy Wright, William Patrick Kee

Publication number: 20150213511Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media that may be used to adjust bid settings based on content presented through other communication media are provided. One method includes determining a time at which a first content item of a content provider is likely to have been presented to a plurality of users through a first communication medium. The method further includes adjusting a current bid setting for at least one bid for one or more auctions to be displayed through a content interface on one or more user devices. The bid is adjusted for a time period after the determined time, and is associated with at least one second content item that is related to a subject matter of the first content item. The method further includes applying the adjusted bid setting to the at least one bid for content auctions that are conducted during the time period.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2014Publication date: July 30, 2015Applicant: Google Inc.Inventors: William Patrick Kee, David Barney

Publication number: 20100019535Abstract: An interlock system for a vehicle body with a sliding door and a fuel fill door includes a housing, a first member, a second member, and a spring. The first member is mounted with respect to the housing, defines a cam portion, and is selectively rotatable with respect to the housing in a first direction from a retracted position to an extended position. The second member is mounted with respect to the housing and is selectively rotatable with respect to the housing in the first direction between a first position and a second position. The spring interconnects the first and second members such that movement of the second member from the first position to the second position causes the first member to move from the retracted position to the extended position.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2008Publication date: January 28, 2010Applicant: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS, INC.Inventors: Houng Yue Chang, David A. Barney, Ching-Hui Chiang, Richard Tomasello

Patent number: 6394085Abstract: A spacer for use with a powdered medicament inhaler. The spacer comprises a slender curved body, which defines a chamber, an inlet communicating with the chamber and an outlet communicating with the chamber. The inlet and outlet are arranged so that in use an airstream passing from the inlet through the chamber to he outlet is caused by the slender curved body to following a rotational flow path. This selectively extracts particles of powdered medicament entrained in the airstream.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2000Date of Patent: May 28, 2002Assignee: Norton healthcare Ltd.Inventors: John Graham Hardy, Lei Mao, Nick Smalley, Brian David Barney, Vijay Patel
