Publication number: 20240166382Abstract: A system for payload delivery and drone recovery, wherein the system functions with the use of a lightweight parachute and a directional control module. The system can include a drop system for payload delivery, wherein the drop system releases the parachute and payload upon reaching a target site. The system can also include a recovery system, wherein the recovery system deploys the parachute and steers the failed drone to a target site. A lightweight ram-air parachute is used to provide a lighter steerable parachute system.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2022Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventors: Joshua BOUDREAU, Ashim PANTA, Joshua OGDEN, Reay O'DARE, Ryan DES COTES, Robert D. WATTERS, Joseph Luc BOUCHER, Thomas MOORE, Michael SIROIS

Patent number: 9507767Abstract: A parsing method and system. The method includes generating an n-gram model of a domain and computing a tf-idf frequency associated with n-grams of the n-gram model. A list including a frequently occurring group of n-grams based on the tf-idf frequency is generated. The frequently occurring group of n-grams is transmitted to a deep parser component and a deep parse output from the deep parser component is generated. The deep parse output is stored within a cache and a processor verifies if a specified text word sequence of the deep parse output is available in the cache.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2016Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Michael Boudreau, Brad Moore, Ahmed Mousaad, Craig M.

Publication number: 20110255927Abstract: A drill saw includes a motor, a drive shaft rotationally driven by the motor for rotation of the drive shaft about a corresponding drive axis, a transmission cooperating with the drive shaft to convert the rotation of the drive shaft to a driven output. The transmission includes a shuttle member having first and second gears. The shuttle member is slidably mounted for translation between first and second positions. A rotary motion-to-linearly reciprocating, motion converter operatively cooperates with the first gear when the shuttle member is in the first position so that a first driven output drives an output shaft reciprocatingly and linearly along an output axis. A rotary motion-to-rotary motion coupler operatively cooperates with the second gear when the shuttle member is in the second position so that a second driven output drives the output shaft rotationally about the output axis.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2010Publication date: October 20, 2011Inventors: Michael Boudreau, Carl Flatman, David Marak, Troy Karius

Patent number: 7877154Abstract: A first principles model may be used to simulate a batch process, and the first principles model may be used to configure a multiple-input/multiple-output control routine for controlling the batch process. The first principles model may generate estimates of batch parameters that cannot, or are not, measured during operation of the actual batch process. An example of such a parameter may be a rate of change of a component (e.g., a production rate, a cell growth rate, etc.) of the batch process. The first principles model and the configured multiple-input/multiple-output control routine may be used to facilitate control of the batch process.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2005Date of Patent: January 25, 2011Assignee: Fisher-Rosemount Systems, Inc.Inventors: Terrence L. Blevins, Gregory K. McMillan, Michael A. Boudreau
