Patent number: 11808604Abstract: One or more devices in a data analysis computing system may be configured to receive and analyze movement data, and determine driving trips associated driving data based on the received movement data. Movement data may be collected by one or more mobile devices, such as smartphones, tablet computers, and the like. One or more driving trips may be identified based on the movement data collected by the mobile devices, including acceleration data, speed data, and rotation rate data. After identifying a driving trip, the previously collected movement data and/or additional driving data may be analyzed to determine additional driving trip data, such as the driver, vehicle, and/or additional driving factors.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2022Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Allstate Insurance CompanyInventors: Jennifer A. Brandmaier, Jeffrey Fitzgerald, Eric Huls, Joseph Kleinhenz, William Loo, Matthew James Manzella, Philip Peter Ramirez

Patent number: 11304385Abstract: A flowering plant growing system utilizes a flowering plant growth assembly that enables the limbs of a flowering plant to be retained and supported along a bud platform to spread the growth out in a planar configuration. This type of growth arrangement may stimulate the plant to produce buds that are distributed across the bud platform and may grow up from the bud platform toward a cover. The height of the bud platform and cover may be adjustable as they are secured to vertical supports by retainers.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2019Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Inventor: Jeffrey Fitzgerald Buss

Publication number: 20070271486Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method for actively auditing a software system to determine the status. The software system includes a plurality of processes executed in an active processor domain. An active message is generated for processing in the active processor domain. Each process receiving the message modifies it by adding an active time indicator to it; thereby creating a modified active message. The status of the active processor domain is determined in response to the modified active message.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2007Publication date: November 22, 2007Applicant: Cedar Point Communications, Inc.Inventor: Jeffrey Fitzgerald

Publication number: 20060239283Abstract: System resources are pooled and allocated in an optimal manner to handling telephone voice traffic or to handling computer data traffic. A combination of mechanisms is used to achieve higher statistical multiplexing on a network interface by dynamically adjusting the multiplexing. The system: 1) Provides homogeneous access to DS0 trunk resource by both voice and data traffic, resulting in a larger resource pool. 2) Partially normalizes the class of service characteristics of data traffic to make it more predictable and can dynamically adjust the bandwidth such that requests for resources can be honored with a higher success rate, and 3) Maintains multiple qualities of service for multiple voice and data streams drawing from a single resource pool. Data traffic is normalized into flows, each of which has an assigned priority and bandwidth is allocation to each of the flows.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2006Publication date: October 26, 2006Applicant: AT COMM CORPORATIONInventor: Jeffrey Fitzgerald

Publication number: 20060187957Abstract: Presently described is a system and method for switching multimedia data communications, including but not limited to Voice over IP (VoIP) telephony, cable TV, digital audio and video. The system utilizes a single, integrated device to provide all PacketCable-compliant functionality, including enhanced user privacy, compliance with CALEA, E911 and other mandated services not available in conventional distributed PacketCable systems. High speed and efficient, low cost operation are provided by means of an optimized data unit encapsulation scheme for internal switching and routing. A proprietary fiber optic backplane and removable optical connectors are used to enable lightspeed internal communications hot-swapping of components. Furthermore, the present system is extensible to all forms of digital data switching and is secure, resistant to Denial of Service attacks, and fault-resilient.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2006Publication date: August 24, 2006Applicant: Cedar Point CommunicationsInventors: Geoffrey Devine, Patrick Quigley, Jeffrey Fitzgerald, Daniel English, John Doucette, Paul Miller

Publication number: 20050021593Abstract: Systems for in-band control that establish relationships between incoming data and one or more destinations to which the data is to be transmitted. In the in-band control embodiments described herein, a connection is established between two ends of a circuit by provisioning at one end of the circuit. A circuit connection table is kept at both ends of the circuit. This table contains the new and existing circuit connection information. A software process writes to the connection table at the local end of the circuit with the address information of the remote end of the circuit. The circuit connection information is to be periodically sent to the remote end to establish or tear down new connections.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2003Publication date: January 27, 2005Inventors: Jeffrey Fitzgerald, Hicham Saab, Daniel English, Rajaesh Mishra

Publication number: 20050018612Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for improving LAN availability and robustness employing adjacency status self-discovery on segment-to-segment communications paths. In some embodiments, the method and system may employ Logical Link Control Type 1 test frame messages between segment nodes to determine status. Adjacent node status may be determined by waiting a period of time for an acknowledgment message and marking the tested link as “down” if no response is received. Also disclosed is a method for compacting data transmitted over a network to reduce overhead.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2003Publication date: January 27, 2005Inventor: Jeffrey Fitzgerald
