Patent number: 12000302Abstract: An aircraft engine repair tool for installing and/or removing a mid turbine frame from a gas turbine engine is provided. The tool includes a stabilizer configured to support a shaft via a load path different from a load path provided by the mid turbine frame rotatably supporting the shaft about a rotation axis. The tool includes a holder attachable to the mid turbine frame, and a guide movably engageable with the shaft and attachable to the holder. The guide guides movement of the holder and of the mid turbine frame relative to the shaft along the rotation axis, and prevents movement of the holder and the mid turbine frame relative to the shaft transverse to the rotation axis when the mid turbine frame is released from the support structure and attached to the holder, and when the holder is attached to the guide.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2023Date of Patent: June 4, 2024Assignee: PRATT & WHITNEY CANADA CORPInventors: Carlo Porco, Geoffrey Henriksen, Jason Wedemire, Anthony Mathias, Michael Hunze, Louis Lavoie, Marven Paynter, Dennis Wilkinson

Patent number: 11994591Abstract: Sensors, including time-of-flight sensors, may be used to detect objects in an environment. In an example, a vehicle may include a time-of-flight sensor that images objects around the vehicle, e.g., so the vehicle can navigate relative to the objects. The sensor may generate first image data at a first configuration and second image data at a second configuration. An estimated depth of an object may be determined from the first image data, and an actual depth of the object may be determined from the second image data, based on the estimated depth. In examples, the first and second configurations have different modulation frequencies such that a nominal maximum depth in the first configuration is greater than the nominal maximum depth in the second configuration.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2020Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: Zoox, Inc.Inventors: Subasingha Shaminda Subasingha, Yongzhe Chen, Mehran Ferdowsi, Samuel Holladay, Turhan Karadeniz, Robert Nicholas Moor, Joseph Patrick Warga, Harrison Thomas Waschura, Silas Kogure Wilkinson

Publication number: 20240171062Abstract: An adaptive electrical power distribution panel receives electrical power from at least an alternative power source other than a utility electric grid, and selectively outputs power to a plurality of branch circuits, appliances, or devices. An internal or remote controller monitors conditions. In response to the monitored conditions, the controller algorithmically divides the plurality of branch circuits, appliances, or devices into a first group to receive power from the alternative power source and a second group to not receive power from the alternative power source, and breaks electrical connections between the alternative power source and the second group. The monitored conditions may include operating parameters the grid; an instantaneous or average individual current flow; and a charge state of storage batteries. The division into groups may also be in response to stored information, such as a priority of, or history of current usage by, each branch circuit, appliance, or device.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2024Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventor: Paul Wilkinson Dent

Patent number: 11988775Abstract: Sensors, including time-of-flight sensors, may be used to detect objects in an environment. In an example, a vehicle may include a time-of-flight sensor that images objects around the vehicle, e.g., so the vehicle can navigate relative to the objects. Sensor data generated by the time-of-flight sensor can be impacted by glare. In some examples, an emitter system for illuminating a field of view can be dynamically altered to provide different illumination intensities at different regions in the field of view. For instance, locations at which a highly-reflective object or other object that is likely to cause glare may be illuminated at a lower illumination intensity, e.g., to reduce the likelihood of pixel saturation in measured data associated with the object.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2019Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: Zoox, Inc.Inventors: Harrison Thomas Waschura, Turhan Karadeniz, Ryan McMichael, Robert Nicholas Moor, Denis Nikitin, Subasingha Shaminda Subasingha, Joseph Patrick Warga, Silas Kogure Wilkinson

Patent number: 11989960Abstract: A method for selecting a final model for detecting cells of interest in image datasets includes dividing a curated image dataset into a training set, a validation set, and a testing set where each image in the curated image dataset has been labeled as positive or negative for a cell of interest. The method trains each model of an ensemble of neural networks using the training and validation sets. Next, each model of the ensemble is tested using the testing set and the predictions of the ensemble are combined. The combined prediction is compared to the label and the method determines whether the combined prediction satisfies a pre-determined level of detection (LOD). If so, the method outputs the ensemble as a final ensemble. If not, the method modifies a hyperparameter of at least one of the models of the ensemble until the combined prediction satisfies the pre-determined LOD.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2020Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: BlueRock Therapeutics LPInventors: Dan Charles Wilkinson, Jr., Benjamin Adam Burnett

Publication number: 20240154927Abstract: Techniques for a framework associated with a group-based communication platform for enabling applications to scale events to be distributable to various users over a communication platform are described. For example, a group-based communication platform may receive a message from a first application to send to a second application. The group-based communication platform may identify a topic and an event associated with the message. The group-based communication platform may then send the message to a queue associated with the second application, wherein the queue is associated with the topic and a user of the second application. The group-based communication platform may then cause presentation of the message to the user. In some examples messages may be sent bidirectionally, such that a message may be sent from the second application to the first application.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2022Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Mitchell McNeill, Monica Carrillo Wilkinson, Neil Brady
