Patent number: 11890526Abstract: A batting glove for baseball or softball may include a glove base and a reinforcement layer set. The glove base may include a palmar region, a dorsal region located on an opposite exterior side of the batting glove from the palmar region, a plurality of finger regions, a wrist region at a bottom of the glove base, and an ulnar border region. The ulnar border region may be located along an outermost edge region of the glove base following a length of the little finger region along an outermost side of the little finger region. The reinforcement layer set may be connected to and exterior of the glove base in a manner that covers at least a portion of each of (a) the palmar region, (b) the ulnar border region, and (c) the dorsal region.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2021Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: STINGER BAT CO.

Publication number: 20210097863Abstract: Exemplary embodiments described in this disclosure are generally directed to systems and methods for assigning parking spots to autonomous vehicles based on data transfer throughput and other considerations. In one exemplary method, a server computer receives from a first autonomous vehicle, information regarding a size of a first dataset available for uploading from the first autonomous vehicle into the server computer. The server computer may further receive from a second autonomous vehicle, information regarding a size of a second dataset that the second autonomous vehicle has available for uploading into the server computer. The server computer may then assign parking spots to the two autonomous vehicles based on evaluating various factors such as the size of one or both datasets, characteristics of wireless links for carrying out data transfer in the parking area, characteristics of various access points in the parking area, and priorities associated with the data transfer.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2019Publication date: April 1, 2021Applicant: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventor: Eric Eaton

Patent number: 10706284Abstract: A machine-learning engine is disclosed that is configured to recognize and learn behaviors, as well as to identify and distinguish between normal and abnormal behavior within a scene, by analyzing movements and/or activities (or absence of such) over time. The machine-learning engine may be configured to evaluate a sequence of primitive events and associated kinematic data generated for an object depicted in a sequence of video frames and a related vector representation. The vector representation is generated from a primitive event symbol stream and a phase space symbol stream, and the streams describe actions of the objects depicted in the sequence of video frames.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2019Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: AVIGILON PATENT HOLDING 1 CORPORATIONInventors: John Eric Eaton, Wesley Kenneth Cobb, Dennis G. Urech, David S. Friedlander, Gang Xu, Ming-Jung Seow, Lon W. Risinger, David M. Solum, Tao Yang, Rajkiran K. Gottumukkal, Kishor Adinath Saitwal
