Patent number: 11621996Abstract: Methods and apparatus for a computing infrastructure for configurable-quality random data are disclosed. A storage medium stores program instructions that when executed on a processor designate some servers of a provider network as members of a pool of producers of random data usable by random data consumers. The instructions, when executed, determine a subset of the pool to be used to supply a collection of random data intended for a random data consumer, and one or more sources of random phenomena to be used to generate the collection of random data. The instructions, when executed, initiate a transmission of the collection of random data directed to the random data consumer.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2017Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Nachiketh Rao Potlapally, Andrew Paul Mikulski, Donald Lee Bailey, Jr., Robert Eric Fitzgerald

Publication number: 20220135016Abstract: A vehicle braking calibration system and related method includes a valve fluidly coupled with a vehicle braking system of a vehicle. The valve is configured to move between an open position and a closed position to control an amount of a fluid that is directed out of the braking system. A sensor detects one or more characteristics of the fluid that is directed out of the braking system. A controller determines a state of the braking system based on the one or more characteristics of the fluid.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2021Publication date: May 5, 2022Inventor: Gary Lee Bailey

Patent number: 11034340Abstract: A braking control system for a vehicle system includes a control chamber configured to control air pressure of a brake pipe of the vehicle system. The system also includes first and second charge valves and first and second vent valves. The first charge valve and the first vent valve are controllable to vent or charge the brake pipe, and the second charge valve and the second vent valve are separately controllable for the same purpose. The system also includes a controller configured to switch operation of the vehicle system between a first operation mode, where the first charge valve and the first vent valve are enabled, and a second operation mode, where the second charge valve and the second vent valve are enabled, in response to an input.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2019Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: WESTINGHOUSE AIR BRAKE TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATIONInventor: Gary Lee Bailey

Patent number: 10870486Abstract: A diamond quadcopter is described with tilting propulsion modules attached to a diamond faceted fuselage providing vertical thrust for Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) and transitioning to horizontal thrust for flight. The diamond faceted fuselage generates lift as a low aspect ratio lifting body. The diamond-like facet geometry enables propulsor placement to minimize interaction between the slipstream and fuselage in all modes of operation. A retractable landing gear with powered wheels allows Vertical/Short Takeoff and Landing (V/STOL) including emergency landings, and maneuverability on the ground. Landed and with gear retracted the bottom fuselage facet is close to ground level allowing an aft facet ramp for walk-on or roll-on access of passengers and payload. With the landing gear extended the vehicle can maneuver over cargo using the wheeled hub motors and then retract for insertion of cargo through a fuselage bottom door.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2018Date of Patent: December 22, 2020Inventor: Stephen Lee Bailey

Patent number: 10705904Abstract: Anomalous behavior in a multi-tenant computing environment may be identified by analyzing hardware sensor value data associated with hardware events on a host machine. A privileged virtual machine instance executing on a host machine acquires hardware sensor values and causes the values to be compared to other hardware sensor value data that may be indicative of anomalous behavior; for example, various threshold values, patterns, and/or signatures of hardware counter values generated by analyzing and correlating hardware event counter data. In this manner, potential anomalous behavior on an instance may be determined without having to access customer data or workloads associated with the instance.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2018Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Nachiketh Rao Potlapally, Donald Lee Bailey, Jr., Richard Weatherly

Publication number: 20200079503Abstract: A folding multi-rotor VTOL aircraft is described that stows the rotor propulsion system in the region above the fuselage and fit within the length and width of the fuselage footprint. The folding members supporting the rotor propulsion units then fit within the regions between the stowed rotor diameters. The members are of sufficient length that when unfolded to operational configuration the slipstream of the rotors do not impinge on the fuselage. Overall aircraft height includes the fuselage, the stowed rotors, and a powered landing gear that provides ground mobility and short take-off and emergency landing capabilities. The overall height is minimized by a compact rotor system and low or adjustable landing gear ground clearance. The rotor propulsion units may incorporate ducts that are specially designed to produce improved lift.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2019Publication date: March 12, 2020Inventor: Stephen Lee Bailey

Patent number: 9908589Abstract: A novel hull form is described consisting of a base hull that incorporates flared sides along a bow, middle, and stern sections with raked bow and stern stem lines. The bow and stern sections have lateral oriented shapes, either as an attachment or integral to the hull, spanning the hull beam. The cross sections of these shapes have a novel and specific geometric relationship in conjunction with the base hull to provide a constant cross sectional area between the forward and aft perpendiculars. The shape improves the powering and seakeeping of the vessel hull in the marine environment.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2016Date of Patent: March 6, 2018Inventor: Stephen Lee Bailey
