Publication number: 20240177188Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing instant rebates before a transaction is completed. This involves ingest of customer and rebate data from two or more utilities, where the data is parsed and normalized into a standard format across all of the utilities. The customer data is then stored in an accounts database, while the rebate data is further processed along with utility rebate rules to determine a set of device and demand response rebate eligibilities for a variety of scenarios. The resulting rebate profiles can be stored in a rebates database and linked to corresponding customer account data in the accounts database. Frontends can then request rebate eligibility based on a customer identifier and retail channel, and various services can work in tandem to query the rebated database and return a set of eligibilities with so little latency that the eligibility check appears instant from a customer's standpoint.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2024Publication date: May 30, 2024Inventors: Yoav Lurie, Justin Segall, Michel Jaroenvanit, John Vajda, Sean McColgan, Jarod Earl Stewart, Nicolae Radu Girleanu, Ilya A. Sukhanov, Michael Konrath

IDENTIFYING OBJECTS FOR DISPLAY IN A SITUATIONAL-AWARENESS VIEW OF AN AUTONOMOUS-VEHICLE ENVIRONMENT
Publication number: 20240125612Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving sensor data associated with an object external to a vehicle. The sensor data includes a sequence of data packets. Each data packet corresponds to a time frame in a sequence of time frames. The method includes determining a classification of the object based at least on the sensor data, determining that a particular data packet corresponding to a particular time frame in the sequence of time frames is corrupt or missing, generating a replacement data packet based on one or more data packets that correspond to one or more time frames adjacent to the particular time frame, generating a sequence of visual representations of the object corresponding to the sequence of time frames. At least one visual representation in the sequence of visual representations corresponding to the particular time frame is generated based on the replacement data packet.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Robert Earl Rasmusson, Taggart Matthiesen, Craig Dehner, Linda Dong, Frank Taehyun Yoo, Karina van Schaardenburg, John Tighe, Matt Vitelli, Jisi Guo, Eli Guerron -

Publication number: 20240077327Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes determining a plurality of available locations for a vehicle to pick up or drop off a user in an area based on sensor data that is captured by the vehicle and is associated with physical characteristics of the area. The method includes calculating a viability value for each of the plurality of available locations. The viability value is calculated based on the physical characteristics of the area as determined from the sensor data. The method includes ranking the plurality of available locations according to the viability values of the plurality of available locations. An available location with a higher viability value is ranked above an available location with a lower viability value. The method includes sending instructions to present, on a computing device, one or more selectable locations of the plurality of available locations based on the ranking.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Robert Earl Rasmusson, Taggart Matthiesen, Craig Dehner, Linda Dong, Frank Taehyun Yoo, Karina van Schaardenburg, John Tighe, Matt Vitelli, Jisi Guo, Eli Guerron

Patent number: 11738356Abstract: A spray bar injector including a spray bar defining a longitudinal axis and including a fluid inlet and a plurality of spray outlet orifices spaced apart longitudinally in a direction along the longitudinal axis. A check or spray valve is operatively connected to each spray outlet orifice. A master valve is in fluid communication with the fluid inlet, operatively connected to divert flow from the fluid inlet into a first passage and block flow into a second passage in a first position to open the check valves and issue a spray from the spray outlet orifices, and to divert flow from the fluid inlet into the second passage and block flow into the first passage in a second position to close the check valves and block issue of spray from the spray outlet orifices.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2021Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: Collins Engine Nozzles, Inc.Inventor: John Earl Short

Patent number: 11487562Abstract: A network-based virtual computing resource provider may offer virtual compute instances that implement rolling resource credits for scheduling virtual computing resources. Work requests for a virtual compute instance may be received at a virtualization manager. A resource credit balance may be determined for the virtual compute instance. The resource credit balance may accumulate resource credits in rolling fashion, carrying over unused credits from previous time periods. Resource credits may then be applied when generating scheduling instructions to provide to a physical resource to perform the work requests, such as a physical CPU in order to increase the utilization of the resource according to the number of credits applied. Applied resource credits may then be deducted from the credit balance.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2020Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: John Merrill Phillips, William John Earl, Deepak Singh

Patent number: 11420854Abstract: In combination, a storage unit storable within a three-dimensional storage system and a storage/retrieval vehicle navigable through the three-dimensional storage system to storage locations therein at which the storage unit is selectively storable and retrievable. The storage/retrieval vehicle comprises a frame conveyable through the three-dimensional storage system, a platform atop the frame for receipt of the storage unit on the platform, and a loading/unloading mechanism operable to load and unload the storage unit to and from the platform at four different sides thereof. The storage unit and the storage/retrieval vehicle are configured to enable unloading of the storage unit from the platform in any one of four different directions at four different respective sides of the vehicle regardless of an original orientation in which the storage unit was previously loaded onto the platform and without reorienting the storage unit from the original orientation.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2020Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: Attabotics Inc.Inventors: Scott Gravelle, Simon Lomas, John Earl, Sundeep Dhaliwal

Patent number: 11100250Abstract: Some methods may involve receiving, at a first node of the health network, encrypted sensor data from one or more sensors. The first node may be in a data communication path between the one or more sensors and other nodes of the health network. The method may involve decrypting, by the first node of the health network, only a portion of the encrypted sensor data, and transmitting the encrypted sensor data from the first node of the health network to a second node of the health network. The first node may be a gateway device. In some examples, the second node may be able to decrypt more of the encrypted sensor data than the first node.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2017Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: Philips Healthcare Informatics, Inc.Inventors: John Earl Amschler, Soumya Das

Patent number: 11046430Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for improving the flight safety of fixed- and rotary-wing unmanned aerial systems (UAS) operating in complex dynamic environments, including urban cityscapes. Sensors and computations are integrated to predict local winds and promote safe operations in dynamic urban regions where GNSS and other network communications may be unavailable. The system can be implemented onboard a UAS and does not require in-flight communication with external networks. Predictions of local winds (speed and direction) are created using inputs from sensors that scan the local environment. These predictions are then used by the UAS guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) system to determine safe trajectories for operations in urban environments.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2018Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: United States of America as Represented by the Administrator of NASAInventors: John Earl Melton, Ben Edward Nikaido
