Patent number: 11993282Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for calibrating and aligning automotive sensors, such as advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) sensors. Embodiments include a system having an image sensor mounted on a fixture in a known pose relative to the fixture. The image sensor is for viewing a target disposed on a vehicle and having a known pose relative to the vehicle, and for capturing image data of the target. A data processor is provided for performing the steps of calculating, using the image data, a pose of the target; calculating a pose of the image sensor relative to the vehicle using the calculated pose of the target; and generating instructions for positioning the fixture at a predetermined pose relative to the vehicle using the calculated pose of the image sensor relative to the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2021Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: Snap-On IncorporatedInventors: Steven W.

Publication number: 20240091422Abstract: A renal therapy system is disclosed. In an example, the renal therapy system includes a home renal therapy machine that stores, to a log file, dates of when renal therapies were performed and a type of each renal therapy that was performed. The system also includes a server that receives the log file from the home renal therapy machine. The server compares the dates and types of performed renal therapies stored in the log file to a device program that specifies dates for performing renal therapies and the types of renal therapies to be performed. The server displays a flag in a user interface of a clinician computer when there is a deviation from the comparison.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Neil Tiwari, Joshua James Miller, Marc Steven Minkus, Matthew R.

Publication number: 20200219212Abstract: A method and system are provided for managing and facilitating the provision of a variety of real estate related services via an IOS/Android application with internet/website administration. Specifically, licensed real estate agents purchase and download the iOS/Android platform application and sign up to be verified users of the system. Based on information provided by the agent, the system verifies and authorizes the agents to use the system. Authorized agents can then submit requests for real-estate related services to be completed for pay, such as hosting open houses, meeting contractors, appraisers, or other service providers at a property, ordering gifts and/or delivering gifts to real estate clients. Other verified users, either real estate agents or other trusted individuals, can bid to complete posted tasks. The system will collect funds from the job posting agent and provide payment to the job completion agent.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2020Publication date: July 9, 2020Inventors: DeShawn Steven Robinson, Jesse David Logan

Patent number: 10639544Abstract: An interactive computer game is described which works in conjunction with a number of physical modules that a user can connect together in different ways to form a coherent physical whole object. The game receives data from the object via a wireless link, the data identifying at least which modules form part of the object and updates game play based on the data received. At some point within the game play, the game presents an objective or goal to the user which the user can only achieve by interacting with the physical object formed from the modules. In an embodiment, this interaction comprises re-arranging the modules or swapping modules to form an object with a different visual appearance, moving all or part of the object and/or interacting with a sensor on a module in the object. The game may receive further data from the object during the user interaction.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2018Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: James William Scott, Haiyan Zhang, Nicolas Villar, Greg Saul, Alexandra Keeley Bunting, Lee Jason Schuneman, Philip Robert Harrison, Jonathan Steven Robinson, Sabina Lopez-Moreno, Simone Rita Thomas, Patrizio Spadoni, Alex Hall, Tariq Adaci, Levi Naess, Sebastien Vandenberghe, Alma Coyolxauhqui Salinas Lopez, Simon Jay Carter

Patent number: 9699139Abstract: A client device (6) may be connected to a network (2) through a private network and one of several connection servers (10, 11, 12, 13) associated with a router (1). In such a configuration a server (5) external to the private network cannot provide a complete routing address for data to be transmitted to the device (6), as it does not have visibility of the control processors (10, 11, 12, 13). To allow such connection to be made, when a connection request for a target client device (6) is transmitted from an external server (5) to the router (1), the router retrieves connection history of the target device (6) from each of the connection servers, and the router 1 then attempts communication with the client device 6 through the connection server (10) reporting the most recent connection.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2010Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: BRITISH TELECOMMUNICATIONS public limited companyInventors: Trevor Mensah, Steven Robinson
