  • Publication number: 20190265703
    Abstract: A system and method for an on-demand shuttle, bus, or taxi service able to operate on private and public roads provides situational awareness and confidence displays. The shuttle may include ISO 26262 Level 4 or Level 5 functionality and can vary the route dynamically on-demand, and/or follow a predefined route or virtual rail. The shuttle is able to stop at any predetermined station along the route. The system allows passengers to request rides and interact with the system via a variety of interfaces, including without limitation a mobile device, desktop computer, or kiosks. Each shuttle preferably includes an in-vehicle controller, which preferably is an AI Supercomputer designed and optimized for autonomous vehicle functionality, with computer vision, deep learning, and real time ray tracing accelerators. An AI Dispatcher performs AI simulations to optimize system performance according to operator-specified system parameters.

  • Patent number: 10389872
    Abstract: Embodiments include a system, method, and computer program product that authenticates a caller using calling party information. In an embodiment, an authentication device receives the call request and associated calling party information that includes a calling party number. The authentication device retrieves parameters associated with the calling party number, where a retrieved parameter is a number of accounts linked to the calling party number. The authentication device determines whether the number of accounts is between one and a threshold value, inclusive, and verifies that the call request originates from a location or a device associated with the calling party number. Based on the verifying and determining, the authentication device generates an authentication result that indicates whether the calling party number is authenticated.

  • Patent number: 10163613
    Abstract: An m/z range of an ion beam is divided into two or more precursor ion mass selection windows. A pattern of two or more different window m/z ranges to be used during two or more successive cycles for at least one precursor ion mass selection window is determined. The pattern includes an initial window m/z range and one or more successively different window m/z ranges. Each of the one or more successively different window m/z ranges includes at least a portion of the initial window m/z range. A tandem mass spectrometer is instructed to select and fragment the two or more precursor ion mass selection windows during each cycle of a plurality of cycles and to repeatedly use the pattern for each group of two or more successive cycles of the plurality of cycles for the selection and fragmentation of the at least one precursor ion mass selection window.

  • Publication number: 20180319349
    Abstract: Bow carriers for use with ATVs and to related methods and systems. In a first illustrative embodiment, a carrier is formed as a box having generally planar front and back sides. At an upper end, the carrier may have an open top and taper to a narrower bottom. The box may be lined with a cushioning material, such as a compressible foam, on either long side with relatively limited space therebetween. The cushioning material may be covered with a suitable textile. The exterior of the box may include hooks and straps or other suitable hardware for attachment to an ATV cargo rack. The open top may be covered by a lid or retractable flap. For use, a bow may be placed in the carrier, into the space between the oppositely mounted cushioning lining. The lining may then be partially compressed to retain the bow securely and safely therein.

  • Publication number: 20180213662
    Abstract: A fastener is disclosed for use in a display structure that includes a bracket defining a detent, a pin that is rotatably received by the bracket, and a latch, e.g., a helical spring, that is in engagement with the pin such that rotation of the pin causes corresponding rotation of the latch. The latch is configured, dimensioned, and positioned for engagement with the detent during movement of the fastener between first (unlocked) and second (locked) positions. During movement of the fastener between the first and second positions, the latch traverses the detent to provide a perceptible indication, e.g., an audible and/or tactile indication, that the fastener has been moved between the first and second positions.

  • Patent number: 9871913
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining the trustworthiness of calling party information, such as caller ID and ANI information, contained in a call request are provided. The method includes receiving a call request at a service provider network element, such as a telecommunication carrier switch. A decision is made as to whether the call request should be verified by reviewing a database of called telephone numbers for monitoring. When the call request is to be verified, a determination is made whether a discrepancy exists between the calling party information contained within the call request and authenticated stored calling party information. For example, the caller ID information in a call request is compared to service provider caller ID information for the calling party to determine if they match. When a discrepancy exists, a discrepancy report is transmitted to the called party.

  • Publication number: 20180007984
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention provides a protective sports glove having a novel combination of liner sections, breathable mesh sections, stretch joints, and shock absorbing cushions to provide maximum protection to the user's fingers, hands, wrists, and lower forearms while r maintaining as much flexibility within the glove and tactile feel on both palmar and dorsal sides of the glove as possible. A novel 2-panel palmar section construction eliminates the presence of seams, stitching or excess material in a critical area on the palmar side of a wearer's hand to further improve tactile feel and grip.
