Publication number: 20240095895Abstract: Systems and methods integrate different portions of a design review, such as files from a variety of different sources, into an interaction environment for review and interaction by a number of reviewing parties. The reviewing parties interact through an interface that is different from a native software of the files. An automated design review may be performed to evaluate a common rendering, formed from the files, for one or more conflicts, including interferences or version errors.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Ryan Albright, Jordan Levy, William Andrew Mecham, William Ryan Weese, Benjamin Goska, Aaron Richard Carkin, Michael Thompson

Publication number: 20230261960Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for identifying faulty links in a virtualized computing environment. Network path latency information is received for one or more network paths in the networked computing environment. Based on the network path latency information, a probable presence of a faulty component is determined. In response to the determination, physical links for a network path associated with the probable faulty component are identified. Information indicative of likely sources of the probable faulty component is received from multiple hosts of the networked computing environment. Based on the identified physical links and information, a faulty component is determined.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2023Publication date: August 17, 2023Inventors: Shachar RAINDEL, Jitendra D.

Publication number: 20230148563Abstract: A container of pet food and an apparatus for preparing the pet food are disclosed. The apparatus includes a scanner for reading a pet food identifier on the container. The scanner is adapted to read the pet food identifier and provide it to a controller. The controller is adapted to obtain food preparation parameters from an external database and to cause the apparatus to then prepare the pet food according thereto. The containers has an identically-shaped periphery and the apparatus is adapted to receive that periphery such that each container is properly positioned regardless of the container's volume.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2023Publication date: May 18, 2023Inventors: William Levy, Scott Eller

Patent number: 11363799Abstract: An apparatus engageable with a container of pet food for preparing the pet food includes a water source, a water pump, and a water heater. The water pump causes a first amount of water to flow to the heater where the first amount is heated and then causes the heated first amount to flow into the pet food whereby the pet food is heated to a first temperature and moistened to a first moistness level. A timer monitors a first steeping period after the first amount has flowed into the pet food, then the water pump causes a second amount of water to flow to the heater. The second amount then flows into the pet food. The second amount is heated such that the pet food obtains a second temperature cooler than the first temperature and moistened to a second moistness level moister than the first moisture level.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2018Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Inventors: William Levy, Scott Eller

Patent number: 9390584Abstract: An automatic verification system for automatically verifying a winner of an on-line game is disclosed. The verification system (a server/memory connected to the Internet) contains information about subscriber players and contains accounts that are used for betting on outcomes of skill games. The subscribers access the system via the Internet to set up an on-line game with other subscribers. The players then compete against each other normally via the game (e.g., Halo™ network server. The verification system then automatically receives the final game information from the server or console(s) via an e-mail, or by accessing published results of the game, or by accessing the players' published career summaries. Based on that automatically generated data, the verification system automatically determines the winner and awards the winner money or points.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2014Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Inventor: William Levy

Patent number: 8761940Abstract: The present teachings provide a system for modifying insulin therapy support parameters such as warning limit data and time block data on a hand-held diabetes management device. The system can include a graphical user interface module that creates a graphical user interface having a plurality of bar structures positionable on or between a first line that indicates an upper limit and a second line that illustrates a lower limit. Each of the bar structures can have a first side that indicates a start time of a time window opposite a second side that indicates an end time of the time window and a third side that indicates a lower target value for a blood glucose level opposite a fourth side that indicates an upper target value for the blood glucose level. The bar structures, the first line and the second line can be adjustable by a user input.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2010Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc.Inventors: James R.
