Patent number: 11989291Abstract: A system and method for software verification provides a lifting dictionary for each desired computer architecture. The lifting dictionary is used to translate native machine language instructions into descriptive intermediate language instructions. Each descriptive intermediate language instruction is atomic, in that, each descriptive intermediate language instruction changes at most one state of the emulated system. An emulator then runs the descriptive intermediate language instructions with tools that show each change of state after each DIL is emulated.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2021Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Inventors: Ryan S. Torvik, James A. Connor, Jr.

Publication number: 20240120689Abstract: The electrical connector unit includes a first connector electrically coupled to a component to define a path for electrical supply therethrough for an activation and a deactivation of the component. The first connector includes a body, electrical contacts, and an opening. The body includes a surface that defines an array of electrical contact locations including one or more first electrical contact locations and a second electrical contact location. The electrical contacts extend correspondingly from the first electrical contact locations. The opening extends from the second electrical contact location to fluidly couple with an interior of an enclosure encasing the component. The first connector is configured to receive a second connector configured to facilitate passage of a fluid through the opening to create a pressure differential between the interior of the enclosure and an exterior of the enclosure for performing a leak testing of the enclosure.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: John Ryan Jones, Rodney Lee Rolffs, Timothy Vincent Connor

Patent number: 11714683Abstract: A playbook execution architecture used to efficiently execute playbooks by distributing the execution of playbook function blocks to multiple independent “worker” sub-processes is described. Each worker process hosts an independent execution environment used to execute playbook function blocks independently from other worker processes, where each worker process can host an execution environment that is the same as or different from execution environments hosted by other work processes, enabling the playbook execution engine to support function blocks written in multiple different programming language versions or programming languages entirely.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2021Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventors: Jeffery Roberts, Matthew Hanson, Ryan Connor Means, Jeffrey Roecks, Taotao Yu

Patent number: 11620453Abstract: Artificial intelligence based document analysis systems and methods are disclosed. Embodiments of document analysis systems may allow the manipulation of datasets and associated codes by determining representations for these codes or datasets based on a machine learning model. The codes or datasets can then be manipulated using the associated representations.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2020Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: CS Disco, Inc.Inventors: Alan Justin Lockett, Ryan Connor Rollings

Patent number: 11573996Abstract: Embodiments as disclosed may generate an organizational hierarchy based on embeddings of portions of documents. Embeddings resulting from the embedding of the portions of the documents can be clustered using a hierarchical clustering mechanism to segment the portion space into a set of hierarchical clusters. Documents can be assigned to these clusters based on the presence of a portion of a document within a cluster. In this manner, the documents may themselves be clustered based on the clusters created from portions across the documents of the corpus. The clusters to which a document is assigned may also be ranked with respect to that document. Similarly, documents assigned to cluster can be ranked within the cluster to which they are assigned. Additionally, in certain embodiments, names or snippets for the clusters of the hierarchy may be derived from the portions comprising that cluster.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2021Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: CS Disco, Inc.Inventors: Ryan Connor Rollings, Verlyn Michael Fischer, Alan Justin Lockett

Patent number: 11240120Abstract: Described herein are improvements for generating courses of action for an information technology (IT) environment. In one example, a method includes identifying a first course of action for responding to an incident type in an information technology environment and generating a simulated incident associated with the incident type. The method further includes initiating performance of the first course of action based on the generation of the simulated incident. The method also includes, upon reaching a particular step of the first course of action that prevents the performance of the first course of action from proceeding, providing a first simulated result that allows the performance of the first course of action to proceed.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2021Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventors: Atif Mahadik, Ryan Connor Means, Govind Salinas, Sourabh Satish

Patent number: 9856734Abstract: A system for adaptively machining a shroud of a blade used in a turbomachine is provided. The system may include a computer system including a module(s) configured to: extract geometric location data from a 3D model of the shroud after use in the turbomachine, the 3D model created by digitizing using a digitizing device. The geometric location data includes geometric location data of a hard face plane of the shroud exposed to wear during turbomachine operation and of a non-worn surface adjacent to the hard face plane substantially unexposed to wear during turbomachine operation. Comparing the geometric location data of the non-worn surface from the three-dimensional model to a manufacturing model of the blade determines a change in position of the non-worn surface from use of the blade in the turbomachine. The change in position is used to modify a machining instruction used by a machining device to repair the hard face plane.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2015Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Jacob Andrew Salm, Mark Carmine Bellino, James Ryan Connor, Gareth William David Lewis, Keith Alan Lord

The donor powder includes a metallic aluminum alloy having a melting temperature higher than aluminum, and the binder includes at least one organic polymer gel. The process further includes applying the slurry to the substrate, heating the slurry to form an aluminide bond coating including an additive aluminide layer and an aluminide interdiffusion zone disposed between the substrate and the additive aluminide layer, and applying a thermal barrier coating to the aluminide bond coating. The thermal barrier coating may be a dense vertically-cracked thermal barrier coating, and the substrate may be a gas turbine component. Thermal barrier coating systems formed by the process are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2015Publication date: March 23, 2017Inventors: Liming ZHANG, Christopher Edward THOMPSON, James Ryan CONNOR, John D.
