Patent number: 11206089Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a system that includes a first Faraday cage defining a first aperture through which a first conveyor extends, a first wirelessly controlled machine disposed in the first Faraday cage, where the first wirelessly controlled machine is configured to transmit control signals using a first frequency range, a second Faraday cage defining a second aperture through which a second conveyor extends, and a second wirelessly controlled machine disposed in the second Faraday cage where the first wirelessly controlled machine is configured to transmit control signals using the first frequency range. Further, a portion of at least one of the first Faraday cage and the second Faraday cage is disposed between the first and second apertures.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2020Date of Patent: December 21, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Josephine Ammer Bolotski, Emilia S. Buneci, Sachin Rajendra Kothari, Unnikrishnan Vadakkanmaruveedu

Patent number: 11086336Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a controller for a machine that wirelessly transmits a destination address to a robot which is tasked with transporting an item to the destination corresponding to the received address. Using the address, the robot can select a predefined path stored in its memory for that address. Because multiple robots can move items in the machine at the same time, the robots may collide if their predefined paths intersect. The machine can use a variety of different techniques to prevent collisions between the robots as the robots deliver items to different locations along their predefined paths.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2018Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Josephine Ammer Bolotski, Emilia S. Buneci, Sachin Rajendra Kothari, Unnikrishnan Vadakkanmaruveedu

Patent number: 10880018Abstract: RF shielding techniques are employed to prevent wireless signals transmitted from one machine from reaching another machine using the same frequency range. If the machines are spaced closely together, the wireless signals emitted by one machine may be received by the other, thereby causing interference. In one embodiment, one of the machines is placed in a Faraday cage which prevents it from transmitting wireless signals to, and receiving signals from, the other machine. In another embodiment, machines that use different channels are grouped into a first Faraday cage while machines that use the same channels as the machines in the first Faraday cage are placed in a second Faraday cage. In this manner, the machines in the two cages can reuse the same communication channels while being disposed proximate to each other in the shared space.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2018Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Josephine Ammer Bolotski, Emilia S.

Patent number: 9178866Abstract: Techniques for user authentication are disclosed. In some situations, the techniques include receiving, from a client device, an authentication request to access a network resource, the request including a user identifier, obtaining a security credential associated with the user identifier contained in the received request, generating an authorization code based on the obtained security credential, providing to the client device instructions to obtain first information corresponding to the generated authorization code, receiving, from the client device, the first information provided in response to the provided instructions, and, when the first information received from the client device corresponds to at least a portion of the generated authorization code, authorizing the client device to access the network resource.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2014Date of Patent: November 3, 2015Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Dominique I. Brezinski, Benjamin S. Kirzhner, Emilia S. Buneci, Martin M. O'Reilly, Cyrus J. Durgin, Lane R. LaRue

Patent number: 8676795Abstract: A plurality of phrases may be extracted from documents associated with one or more document sources. The plurality of phrases may be filtered and processed to determine a frequency in which the plurality of phrases appear in the documents and/or a number of the document sources in which each phrase appears. A weight may be assigned to each of the phrases and, based at least in part on the assigned weight, a visual representation of the plurality of phrases may be presented. The visual representation may be dynamically updated based at least in part on an updated frequency or an updated total number of document sources associated with any one of the plurality of phrases.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2011Date of Patent: March 18, 2014Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Cyrus J. Durgin, George N. Stathakopoulos, Dominique I. Brezinski, Emilia S. Buneci, Martin M. O'Reilly, Lane R. LaRue, Benjamin S. Kirzhner
