Patent number: 11977934Abstract: Automation solutions for event logging and debugging on KUBERNETES are disclosed. A system for providing no-instrumentation telemetry for a distributed application cluster includes at least one processor for executing computer-executable instructions stored in a memory. The instructions, when executed, instruct the at least one processor to provide an edge module configured to deploy a Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) probe and a corresponding BPF program in the computing environment. The BPF probe is triggered based on an event associated with a distributed application running in a user space of the computing environment. Data associated with the event is captured in a kernel space of the computing environment via the BPF program. The captured data is transferred from the kernel space of the computing environment to the user space of the computing environment.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: New Relic, Inc.Inventors: Zain Mohamed Asgar, Omid Jalal Azizi, James Michael Bartlett, Ruizhe Cheng, Phillip Kuznetsov, Ishan Mukherjee, Michelle Aimi Nguyen, Natalie Grace Serrino, Yaxiong Zhao

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.

Patent number: 11975215Abstract: Systems, devices, and related methods for phototherapeutic treatment of skin, and more particularly phototherapeutic treatments for skin conditioning and/or the treatment of skin wrinkles are disclosed. Certain aspects relate to impinging light having a first peak wavelength on skin tissue at a first radiant flux, a second peak wavelength on the skin tissue at a second radiant flux, and, optionally, a third peak wavelength on skin tissue at a third radiant flux. The first wavelength may be selected to produce nitric oxide in the skin and/or to release endogenous stores of nitric oxide; the second wavelength may be selected to promote collagen production. Certain methods involve impinging light having a third peak wavelength that may be selected to reduce inflammation. Devices are disclosed that include combinations of housings, light-transmissive elements, and flexible substrates that are configured to deliver such light to one or more targeted areas.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: KNOW Bio, LLCInventors: James Michael Lay, Nicholas William Medendorp, Jr.

Publication number: 20240143988Abstract: Dynamic data quantization may be applied to minimize the power consumption of a system that implements a convolutional neural network (CNN). Under such a quantization scheme, a quantized representation of a 3×3 array of m-bit activation values may include 9 n-bit mantissa values and one exponent shared between the n-bit mantissa values (n<m); and a quantized representation of a 3×3 kernel with p-bit parameter values may include 9 q-bit mantissa values and one exponent shared between the q-bit mantissa values (q<p). Convolution of the kernel with the activation data may include computing a dot product of the 9 n-bit mantissa values with the 9 q-bit mantissa values, and summing the shared exponents. In a CNN with multiple kernels, multiple computing units (each corresponding to one of the kernels) may receive the quantized representation of the 3×3 array of m-bit activation values from the same quantization-alignment module.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2024Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Jian hui Huang, James Michael Bodwin, Pradeep R.

Publication number: 20240140024Abstract: Methods of creating additive manufactured parts include selectively dispensing, in a shape area according to a layer of a part to be created by additive manufacturing, a second composition onto a top surface of a first composition in a vat, wherein a polymerization component is in the second composition. In some cases, polymerization components for formation of the layer are kept separate from each other until the dispensing. In some cases, a first polymerization component is in the first composition, and a second polymerization component is in the second composition. The top surface is illuminated to expose the first composition and the second composition to light having a polymerization wavelength, thereby causing polymerization of the layer of the part only in the shape area. The dispensing comprises customizing a reaction variable of the polymerization to customize reaction kinetics in different portions of the shape area.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2024Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicant: Intrepid Automation, Inc.Inventors: Ben Wynne, Shirley Lee, Jamie Lynn Etcheson, Christopher Sean Tanner, Robert Lee Mueller, Ivan Dejesus Chousal, James Michael Pingel
