Patent number: 10602359Abstract: Techniques are described for cross-device authorization using a wireless network connection. Computing device(s) may broadcast an identification signal indicating that the device is authorized to access a remote service, and is therefore available to provide an authorization token to a receiving device. The receiving device may determine one of the broadcasting device(s) to use for cross-device authorization. The receiving device may send a request, to the determined broadcasting device, for an authorization token to access the remote service. The broadcasting device may receive the request and transmit a message to a server device indicating that an authorization token is to be provided to the receiving device. Alternatively, the authorization token may be sent directly from the broadcasting device to the receiving device (e.g., over the wireless communication network). On receiving the authorization token, the receiving device may use it to access the remote service.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2019Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Brandon Scott Kotara, Cale Riley Spratt, Adrian Borunda, Jeffrey Joseph Szcinski, Richard Tanner

Patent number: 10598816Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include systems and methods of correcting induction logging data for relative dip. Initial induction logging data is measured at a plurality of frequencies. One example embodiment includes displaying dip corrected data for a plurality of different relative dip angles, which may further be displayed with a qualitative indicator displayed over many depth samples for selecting or validating a correct relative dip angle. The data may be iteratively processed using an automated relative dip correction algorithm and analyzed by the user to obtain and apply the best relative dip correction angle to induction logging data. Once dip corrected, the induction logging data can be used with resistivity methodologies generally designed for instances where no dip is present in the formation under analysis.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2014Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: James Michael Witkowsky, John Andrew Quirein, Yi Zhou, Ferhat Turker Celepcikay, Luis Emilio San Martin

Patent number: 10601768Abstract: Automated steady state traffic management is provided for a distributed platform through immediate or real-time simulation of the capacity and performance impacts associated with shifting different load increments to different Points-of-presence (PoPs) of the distributed platform and by automatic and dynamic traffic management reconfiguration in response to an optimal set of changes identified from the simulation. A system produces data models to track the current distributed platform state and detect deviates from the steady state. Using the data models and scoring functions, the system scores the impact that different shifts of load to different destinations have on the overall distributed platform. The scoring reveals the optimal set of traffic management configuration changes that restore the steady state with the least capacity and performance impact.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2017Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: Verizon Digital Media Services Inc.Inventors: Marcel Eric Schechner Flores, Colin Rasor

Patent number: 10599946Abstract: A system and method for identifying real time change in a scene of an unknown environment using an unmanned vehicle. In the context of unmanned vehicle navigation, it is critical to calculate the saliency map in real time and employ them in scene understanding. This will reduce the search space and ensure that the process is quicker. A domain specific ontology is created and a saliency model is developed. The saliency model detects key domain specific regions of interest in two consecutive images. The regions of interest is used for registration and change detection. The system is detecting the change by using visual saliency as an abstract feature that is developed in the environment. Probability of change is derived using the salient maps of the two images.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2018Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: Tata Consultancy Services LimitedInventors: Jayavardhana Rama Gubbi Lakshminarasimha, Karthikeyan Vaiapury, Mariswamy Girish Chandra, Balamuralidhar Purushothaman, Shailesh Shankar Deshpande

Patent number: 10599639Abstract: Methods and systems described herein may include processing a change data capture stream in parallel and optimizing the write operations contained in the change data capture stream such that the write operations may be written to a change table in parallel. Processing the change data capture stream may include decoding the transaction data contained in the change data capture stream in parallel. After the transaction data in the change data capture stream has been decoded, the transaction data may be analyzed to identify write operations that write to the same row. Write operations that write to the same row may be merged into a single write operation. The merging of write operations may be performed until each write operation writes to a different row. The write operations may then be written to the change table in parallel.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2019Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Behdad Forghani, Aniketh Bothra, Abhijit Chitnis, Aditya Relangi
