  • Patent number: 11139673
    Abstract: A vehicle includes an engine having a throttle body, a battery, e.g., a 12-volt battery, and a battery-charging system electrically connected to the battery and configured to convert mechanical motion of the engine into electricity to charge the battery. A controller of the vehicle is programmed to, in response to an opening of the throttle body being less than an opening threshold and a state of charge of the battery (battery SOC) being less than a first charge threshold, set the battery-charging system to output a first power, wherein the charge threshold is based on a measured capacity of the battery and a measured key-off load. The controller is further programmed to, in response to the opening being less than the opening threshold and the battery SOC exceeding the first charge threshold but being less than a second charge threshold, set the battery-charging system to output a second power that is less than the first power.

  • Patent number: 11136813
    Abstract: A defense mobile device for securing a door during shelter-in-place situations. The device includes wheels rendering it mobile and stops that, when actuated, hold the device stationary. A panel has a ballistic core that resists bullets, a front face, an opening, and a cover positioned over the opening to overlay and enclose a door knob protruding through the opening. The front face forms, or has affixed to it, a writing surface. The panel pivots between a plurality of angled positions to facilitate writing and an upright position flat against the door. A locking rod, rotatably connected to the panel, pushes and pulls the panel between its angled positions and its upright position. A lever-locking mechanism or a twist-lock mechanism secures the device in place against or within a door frame and against the door.

  • Patent number: 11138804
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for intelligent smoothing of 3D alternative reality applications for secondary 2D viewing. A computing device receives a first data set corresponding to a first position of an alternative reality viewing device. The computing device generates a 3D virtual environment for display on the alternative reality viewing device using the first data set, and a 2D rendering of the virtual environment for display on a display device using the first data set. The computing device receives a second data set corresponding to a second position of the alternative reality viewing device after movement of the alternative reality viewing device. The computing device determines whether a difference between the first data set and the second data set is above a threshold. The computing device updates the 2D rendering of the virtual environment on the display device using the second data set, when the difference is above the threshold value.

  • Patent number: 11138615
    Abstract: Location history data can be used to identify attributes for a known geographic location of a business listing record for a business. As an example, location history data is received from each of a plurality of client computing devices. For each device, the location history data identifies an arrival and departure times for the known geographic location as well as prior and next visit information. The location history data is used as input into a classifier in order to identify a set of attributes for the geographic location and corresponding likelihood values for each of the attributes of the set of attributes. A subset of the set of attributes is determined such that the attributes describe aspects of the known geographic location based on the likelihood values. This subset is provided to a client computing device in response to a request for information about the geographic location.

  • Patent number: 11139018
    Abstract: Apparatuses and techniques are described for reducing read time in a memory device. A source voltage signal, Vcelsrc, and a body voltage signal, Vp-well, of a source region and a p-well, respectively, of a substrate of a NAND string are controlled to reduce the channel resistance. Vcelsrc can be temporarily reduced, e.g., provided with a negative voltage kick, while Vp-well is non-decreasing during a read operation. The negative voltage kick decreases a body bias of the NAND string in its channel to reduce the channel resistance and increase the current. The negative voltage kick can be initiated when a bit line clamp transistor is made conductive to allow a current to flow in the NAND string. The magnitude and duration of the negative voltage kick can be adjusted based on various factors.
