Patent number: 11745043Abstract: A lock mechanism which can be placed on a shaft, such as a bar or pole, in either a first direction or second direction, is secured to the shaft using two sets of balls which project out of apertures in an inner cylinder to frictionally engage the shaft. The balls are selectively retractable from their projecting position to allow the inner cylinder to slide on and/or be removed from the shaft. Biasing members, such as wavy springs, bias the two sides of the lock mechanism towards one another. In the locked configuration, the balls are forced by inclined surfaces within the two sides to project outwardly from the inner hollow cylinder. The inclined surfaces are aligned with two rows of apertures in the inner hollow cylinder, and they are inclined in opposite directions. Thus, either way the lock mechanism is installed or placed on the shaft, the balls will project out of the apertures in the inner hollow cylinder and will securely engage the shaft.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2021Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: SpeedClips USA, LLCInventors: David Robert Davies, Hugh Anderson, Randy Franks

Patent number: 11119862Abstract: Method and apparatus for managing data in a distributed data storage system, such as but not limited to a cloud computing environment. In some embodiments, snapshots of a data set are uploaded from a source storage subsystem to a cloud store, along with intervening difference information volumes (DIVs). The DIVs are data structures that identify a set of updated data blocks that have been changed by the source storage subsystem between each successive pair of the snapshots. A reader subsystem requests and uses the latest DIV to request the latest set of changed data blocks from the cloud store, and uses the latest set of changed data blocks to update a previous snapshot to generate a copy of the most recent snapshot. The source and reader subsystems can comprise Internet of Things (IoT) devices, client devices, edge computing devices, etc. from different vendors and which utilize different protocols.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2019Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: Seagate Technology LLCInventors: Douglas William Dewey, Ian Robert Davies, Kenneth F.

Patent number: 11087400Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a graphical representation for and displaying order performance metrics for one or more user orders of one or more market instruments. A graphical representation of the order performance metrics can be aligned with a graphical representation of market data relating to prices and volume of user orders, market orders, user order executions, and market trades. The order performance metrics can be displayed as one or more performance bars or ribbons divided into segments, which can be assigned a color based on a user order's performance with respect to a market benchmark. The graphical representations can be displayed using a display device.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2019Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: FIDESSA TRADING UK LIMITEDInventors: Robert Davies, Will Winzor-Saile

Patent number: 11043039Abstract: A method of aligning reference frames for an augmented reality display is provided. The method comprises receiving three or more target images positioned at predefined physical reference points in a specified physical space, wherein the physical reference points are part of a reference frame of the physical space. Distances between the physical reference points of the target images are calculated and compared with distances between virtual reference points comprising a reference frame of a three-dimensional virtual model to create a number of distance comparisons. The physical reference points are correlated with virtual reference points according to the distance comparisons. The reference frame of the physical space is then aligned with the reference frame of the three-dimensional virtual model according to the correlation of the physical reference points and virtual reference points.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2020Date of Patent: June 22, 2021Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: David K.
