Patent number: 11026470Abstract: This flip flop accessory holds a flip flop more securely to the foot when the wearer wants to run, jump, walk backwards, or dangle their feet—activities where flip flops often dislodge. It is comprised of two anchoring points screws on either side of the sole and an elastic cord that attaches to the screws and wraps around the ankle. The wearer screws anchoring screws into the sides of the sole, wraps the cord around the ankle looping the ends around the anchor screws, and then adjusts the length of the cord to maximize comfort and functionality.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2019Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Inventor: Matthew Reynolds

Patent number: 10661311Abstract: An automated tote routing systems that includes a conveyer belt, an array of sensors underneath the conveyer belt, and an identifier reader disposed with respect to the conveyer belt is discussed. The conveyer belt can be configured to receive a tote filled with physical objects. The array of sensors can detect a first set of attributes associated with the physical objects within the tote. The identifier reader can read and decode an identifier from a machine-readable element disposed on the tote. The array of sensors and identifier reader can transmit the first set of attributes and the identifier to a computing system. Based on the set of information associated with the physical objects and the set of attributes associated with the physical objects, a routing module executed by the computing system can automatically trigger the conveyer belt to route the tote to a selected distribution end of the conveyor belt.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2017Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: Walmart Apollo, LLCInventors: David Winkle, Bruce W.

Patent number: 10416302Abstract: Compressive imaging captures images in compressed form, where each sensor does not directly correspond with a pixel, as opposed to standard image capture techniques. This can lead to faster image capture rates due to lower I/O bandwidth requirements, and avoids the need for image compression hardware, as the image is captured in compressed form. Measuring the transformation of an emitted multimodal signal is one method of compressive imaging. Metamaterial antennas and transceivers are well suited for both emitting and receiving multimodal signals, and are thus prime candidates for compressive imaging.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2016Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: Duke UniversityInventors: David Smith, David Brady, Tom Driscoll, John Hunt, Alexander Mrozack, Matthew Reynolds, Daniel Marks

Patent number: 10109080Abstract: Multi-sensor compressive imaging systems can include an imaging component (such an an RF, microwave, or mmW metamaterial surface antenna) and an auxiliary sensing component (such as an EO/IR sensor). In some approaches, the auxiliary sensing component includes a structured light sensor configured to identify the location or posture of an imaging target within a field of view of the imaging component. In some approaches, a reconstructed RF, microwave, or mmW image may be combined with a visual image of a region of interest to provide a multi-spectral representation of the region of interest.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2016Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: Duke UniversityInventors: David Brady, Tom Driscoll, John Hunt, Daniel Marks, Alexander Mrozack, Matthew Reynolds, David R.

Patent number: 9818273Abstract: A secure passive RFID tag system comprises at least one base station and at least one passive RFID tag. The tag includes a fiber optic cable with the cable ends sealed within the tag and the middle portion forming an external loop. The loop may be secured to at least portions of an object. The tag transmits and receives an optical signal through the fiber optic cable, and the cable is configured to be damaged or broken in response to removal or tampering attempts, wherein the optical signal is significantly altered if the cable is damaged or broken. The tag transmits the optical signal in response to receiving a radio signal from the base station and compares the transmitted optical signal to the received optical signal. If the transmitted optical signal and the received optical signal are identical, the tag transmits an affirmative radio signal to the base station.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2015Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: Dirac Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Faranak Nekoogar, Matthew Reynolds, Scott Lefton, Farid Dowla, Richard Twogood

Patent number: 9800059Abstract: Subscription based multiple-input-single-output and multiple-input-multiple-output wireless energy transfer enables selective charging and powering of mobile devices using a plurality of spatially distributed transmitters that are synchronized under the control of a transmitter controller. Amplitude, phase, and frequency of each transmitter is controlled to promote or deny the transfer of energy to particular mobile devices or positions through optimization techniques based on the incident power level at each mobile device subscribing to the system. Measurements related to the incident power level may be directly provided by the mobile device or the incident power is remotely determined through analysis of backscatter gains.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2013Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: Duke UniversityInventors: Matthew Reynolds, Daniel Arnitz

Publication number: 20160124109Abstract: The present disclosure provides a semi-analytic inversion method that computes an approximate, sparse representation of the data in terms of the (a, T1, T2). Methods, in accordance with the present disclosure, compute T2's in a semi-analytic fashion, such as by using simultaneous Hankel representation of the data, use one dimensional convex optimization to compute the amplitudes, a, and finally compute T1 in an analytic fashion by appropriate averaging techniques. The proposed method provides a more efficient way to represent the data when compared to linearized methods, and is computationally less demanding when compared to some existing nonlinear optimization methods.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2014Publication date: May 5, 2016Inventors: Can Evren Yarman, Nicholas Heaton, Lucas Monzon, Matthew Reynolds
