Patent number: 11989689Abstract: A computer-based technology is provided to optimize a warehouse space, such as warehouse racks. The technology determines a storage duration of a pallet in a warehouse, and further determines an optimal storage location for the pallet in the warehouse. For example, the technology can determine how long an inbound pallet will stay in a warehouse, and locate an optimal area of the warehouse to store the pallet. Such an optimal pallet storage area is selected to reduce labor costs in transporting the pallet in, within, and out of the warehouse and further optimize the management of multiple pallets in the warehouse as a whole. In addition, the technology can consider the size of the pallet in determining the optimal storage location in the warehouse.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2022Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: Lineage Logistics, LLCInventors: Daniel Thomas Wintz, Michael Lingzhi Li, Elliott Gerard Wolf, Chloe Mawer, Caitlin Voegele, Zhou Daisy Fang, Maya Ileana Choudhury, Julia Long, Sudarsan Thattai, Jeffrey Alvarez Rivera

Publication number: 20240055537Abstract: An imaging device may include single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs). To improve the sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio of the SPADs, light scattering structures may be formed in the semiconductor substrate to increase the path length of incident light through the semiconductor substrate. To mitigate crosstalk, multiple rings of isolation structures may be formed around the SPAD. An outer deep trench isolation structure may include a metal filler such as tungsten and may be configured to absorb light. The outer deep trench isolation structure therefore prevents crosstalk between adjacent SPADs. Additionally, one or more inner deep trench isolation structures may be included. The inner deep trench isolation structures may include a low-index filler to reflect light and keep incident light in the active area of the SPAD.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Applicant: SEMICONDUCTOR COMPONENTS INDUSTRIES, LLCInventors: Marc Allen SULFRIDGE, Anne DEIGNAN, Nader JEDIDI, Michael Gerard KEYES

Patent number: 11900158Abstract: Task permissions for software services can be set in a distributed computing environment according to some examples described herein. In one example, a system can determine software services that are included in software products deployable to a user account of a distributed computing environment. The system can determine task permissions to be set in the user account for allowing the software services to execute tasks in the distributed computing environment. The system can generate a list of task permissions by consolidating the task permissions based on predefined rules. The system can then transmit an output indicating the list of task permissions for causing the user account to be configured based on the list of task permissions, to permit the software services to execute the tasks in the distributed computing environment.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2021Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Red Hat, Inc.Inventors: Michael Gerard Ryan, Brian Gallagher
