Patent number: 11989480Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor that may, responsive to a secondary display being detected, cause a window including an option for a user to proceed with a location detection operation of the secondary display to be displayed on a primary display. The processor may also cause an icon to be displayed on the secondary display, track a movement of a cursor from the primary display to the icon displayed on the secondary display, and determine a position of the secondary display with respect to the primary display based on the tracked movement of the cursor. The processor may further store the determined position of the secondary display with respect to the primary display.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2022Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Gary De-Hong Liao, Yilin Song, Michael Paul Erich Von Hippel, Nina Emi Rothenhaus, Sankalp Gupta, Tomas Edward Morris, John Christopher Whytock, Hanna Landauer McLaughlin, Lee Dicks Clark, Fernando Evelio Alvarez, Albert Peter Yih

Patent number: 11989093Abstract: Methods and apparatus for selection of memory devices in a distributed storage network. In an example, a computing device receives a data object for storage and selects a set of storage nodes of a plurality of sets of storage nodes for storing the data object. Selection of the set of storage nodes includes determining storage attributes associated with each set of storage nodes of the plurality of sets of storage nodes. Selection of the set of storage nodes additionally includes determining a storage preference associated with the data object, and comparing the storage preference with the storage attributes of the plurality of sets of storage nodes to determine a best match. Following selection of a set of storage nodes, the computing device facilitates storage of the data object in the selected set of storage nodes.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2022Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: Pure Storage, Inc.Inventors: S.

Patent number: 11975737Abstract: This provides locations for mounting controllers and processing components that effectively employ the roof within a frame covered by a cowling so as to avoid exposure to weather and the environment. The roof is also employed to provide a sensor bar that extends across the vehicle width for a distance that does not interfere with normal vehicle function or generate potential overhangs, which can inadvertently engage objects or vehicles. The bar is sufficient in size and shape so as to allow mounting of a plurality of types of sensors on its top surface and/or recessed within front or rear edges. Such sensors can include visual light cameras for machine vison processes and/or LIDAR of various types and cooperage areas/fields of view—some of which can be recessed within a hollow region of the bar. Additional sensors can be mounted on the truck cab and/or chassis, including visual-light cameras and radars.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Outrider Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Gary Michael Seminara, James Christopher McKenna, Michael Patrick Cutter, Jonathan Record, Dale Dee Rowley, Keith Massie, Alexander Fink, Critt Coburn, Gary Mckinney, Lawrence S.
