Publication number: 20230305087Abstract: An insert for an EPR probehead is disclosed. The insert comprises a directional coupler and an amplifier. The directional coupler receives microwave power from a source at a first port and transfers a portion of the received microwave power to a second port for transmission to a sample space. The directional coupler is also arranged to receive a microwave signal from the sample space at the second port and to pass the majority of the received microwave signal to a third port. The amplifier has an input and an output; the input is arranged to receive the microwave signal from the third port of the directional coupler and to produce an amplified version of the received microwave signal at the output for transmission to a detector.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2021Publication date: September 28, 2023Inventors: Mantas Simenas, James Campbell O'Sullivan, Christoph Wilhelm Zollitsch, Oscar William Kennedy, John Julian Larrarte Morton

Publication number: 20180165599Abstract: Techniques are described for integrating predictive models into applications, to enable the applications to provide predictive functionality. Using the framework according to implementations, predictive models and their supporting libraries may be incorporated into applications without requiring application developers to be knowledgeable regarding the particular features of the predictive models and/or libraries. The framework exposes a common and consistent application programming interface (API) on top of the predictive libraries. Applications can use the API to interact with the predictive models, thus enabling the applications to leverage predictive functionality. Implementations also provide an API which may be used by applications to request the retraining of predictive models.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2016Publication date: June 14, 2018Inventors: Balazs Pete, Declan Kearney, Cathal McGovern, Simon Dornan, Jennifer Keane, Michael Golden, Orla Cullen, Robert McGrath, Shekhar Chhabra, Kerry O'Connor, Malte Christian Kaufmann, John Julian

Patent number: 9880257Abstract: Disclosed are apparatus and methods for providing outputs; e.g., location estimates, based on trained Gaussian processes modeling signals of wireless signal emitters. A computing device can determine first and second trained Gaussian processes. The respective first and second Gaussian processes can be based on first and second hyperparameter values related to first and second wireless signal emitters. The computing device can determine first and second sets of comparison hyperparameter values of the respective first and second hyperparameter values, and then determine whether the first and second sets of comparison hyperparameter values are within one or more threshold values.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2015Date of Patent: January 30, 2018Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Brian John Julian, Brian Patrick Williams, Etienne Le Grand

Patent number: 9838847Abstract: Disclosed are apparatus and methods for providing outputs; e.g., location estimates, based on trained Gaussian processes. A computing device can determine trained Gaussian processes related to wireless network signal strengths, where a particular trained Gaussian process is associated with one or more hyperparameters. The computing device can designate one or more hyperparameters. The computing device can determine a hyperparameter histogram for values of the designated hyperparameters of the trained Gaussian processes. The computing device can determine a candidate Gaussian process associated with one or more candidate hyperparameter value for the designated hyperparameters. The computing device can determine whether the candidate hyperparameter values are valid based on the hyperparameter histogram. The computing device can, after determining that the candidate hyperparameter values are valid, add the candidate Gaussian process to the trained Gaussian processes.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2015Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: Google LLPInventors: Brian John Julian, Etienne Le Grand, Brian Patrick Williams

Patent number: 9810762Abstract: Disclosed are apparatus and methods for providing outputs; e.g., location estimates, based on measurement bins (MBs) determined by a computing device. An MB can be associated with a wireless signal emitter (WSE), and can include a mean signal strength value (SSV) and a standard deviation of SSVs for each WSE associated with the MB. The computing device can designate a WSE. The computing device can determine a collection of the MBs associated with the designated WSE. The computing device can train a mean Gaussian process for the designated WSE based on the mean SSV and the standard deviation of SSVs of the collection of MBs. The mean Gaussian process can be associated with a covariance matrix having a diagonal entry based on a standard deviation of SSVs of an MB in the collection of MBs. The computing device can provide an estimated location based on the trained mean Gaussian process.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2015Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: Google Inc.Inventor: Brian John Julian

Patent number: 9591454Abstract: Disclosed are apparatus and methods for providing outputs; e.g., location estimates, based on signal strength measurements. A computing device can receive a particular signal strength measurement, which can include a wireless-signal-emitter (WSE) identifier and a signal strength value and can be associated with a measurement location. The computing device can determine one or more bins; each bin including statistics for WSEs and associated with a bin location. The statistics can include mean and standard deviation values.

Publication number: 20160198685Abstract: An automated protective enclosure for upland game birds is disclosed, where the enclosure includes a unidirectional entry and a mechanical exit that is selective controlled by a controller. By allowing the birds to enter the enclosure and be selectively released based on time or other criteria, the birds can be protected during vulnerable times, therefore increasing their chances for survival while allowing them to acclimate to the wild. Additional optional features for the enclosure include an electronic call for attracting the birds, food and water dispensers with sensors for detecting low-levels, an entry sensor for detecting birds entering the enclosure, temperature sensing and adjusting devices, and a camera for capturing images of birds or other animals entering or proximate the enclosure.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2015Publication date: July 14, 2016Inventor: John Julian Huffhines
