Patent number: 12271986Abstract: Disclosed is a system and associated methods for generating an autonomous bot that replicates speech characteristics, visual expressions, and actions of a professional in order to further relationships established by the professional in meetings that the professional is unavailable for. The system monitors meetings involving the professional at different stages of a workflow, and classifies the workflow stage associated with each meeting. The system models content, speech characteristics, and visual expressions expressed by the professional at each workflow stage based on commonality that is detected in a different set of meetings classified to a corresponding workflow stage. The modeling is used to generate an autonomous bot as a surrogate for the professional in a meeting that the professional is unavailable for.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2024Date of Patent: April 8, 2025Assignee: PEAKSPAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, LLCInventors: Vikas Kumar, Philip Alexandrov, Evan Kessler, Philip Dur

Patent number: 12273783Abstract: Systems and methods may facilitate initial establishment and/or handover of an air-to-ground (ATG) communication link between an aircraft and a ground-based cellular communication network (e.g., a 5G network). The systems and methods may be particularly applicable for an aircraft having a user equipment (UE) antenna that uses narrow beamforming to connect to a cell of a base station (gNB). The UE identifies candidate cells based upon the location of the UE and locations and orientations of cells in the network, identifies a cell having a higher likelihood of connection success compare to other cells, and directs a beam to the chosen cell. The systems and methods may enable the UE to create neighbor lists in real time based upon the UE location, and may prevent blind searching normally associated with narrow beamforming methods.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2022Date of Patent: April 8, 2025Assignee: GOGO BUSINESS AVIATION LLCInventors: Heinz A.

Patent number: 12272917Abstract: An I/O connector assembly configured for making a cabled connection to an interior portion of a printed circuit board for at least some signals passing through the I/O connector. The I/O connector assembly may be assembled by mounting a cage to a printed circuit board. A receptacle connector, including cables extending from a rear of the connector, may be inserted through an opening in the top or rear of the cage. The receptacle connector may be positioned in the cage by at least one retention member on the cage. A plug, mating to the receptacle connector, also may be positioned by a retention member on the cage. Positioning both the plug and receptacle relative to the cage reduces the tolerance stackup of the assembly and enables the connectors to be designed with shorter wipe length, which enables higher frequency operation.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2023Date of Patent: April 8, 2025Assignee: FCI USA LLCInventors: Jordan Winey, Arkady Y.
