Publication number: 20260120525Abstract: A notification system for use in a materials handling vehicle includes a display and a processor. The display has a screen that displays a graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI includes a first panel displaying live vehicle data associated with a first vehicle function, wherein the first panel can be controlled to toggle between a prioritized state and a non-prioritized state, and a second panel displaying live vehicle data associated with a second vehicle function, wherein the second panel can be controlled to toggle between a prioritized state and a non-prioritized state. The processor is communicably coupled to the display to control the GUI. The processor is programmed to detect an event associated with the first panel or the second panel and to apply the prioritized state or the non-prioritized state to the first panel or the second panel based on the detecting of the associated event.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2025Publication date: April 30, 2026Inventors: Claire Spicer, Trisha Luthman, Paul Magee, Justin Montan, Aaron Williams, Joshua Robinson, Jess Gilland, Tom Luan, Milan Pema

Publication number: 20260112259Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying a condition associated with an individual in a home environment are provided. Sensors associated with the home environment detect data, which is captured and analyzed by a local or remote processor to identify the condition. In some instances, the sensors are configured to capture data indicative of electricity use by devices associated with the home environment, including, e.g., which devices are using electricity, what date/time electricity is used by each device, how long each device uses electricity, and/or the power source for the electricity used by each device. The processor analyzes the captured data to identify any abnormalities or anomalies, and, based upon any identified abnormalities or anomalies, the processor determines a condition (e.g., a medical condition) associated with an individual in the home environment. The processor generates and transmits a notification indicating the condition associated with the individual to a caregiver of the individual.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2025Publication date: April 23, 2026Inventors: Aaron Williams, Joseph Robert Brannan, Christopher N.

Patent number: 12529302Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods of monitoring a well that includes a production tubing installed in the well and supported by a wellhead with an annulus between the production tubing and a well casing. While the production tubing remains installed in the well, a valve of the wellhead is opened to provide access to the annulus through a side port of the wellhead. A cable guide is inserted through the valve, the cable guide including a conduit for inserting a sensing cable through the cable guide. A sensing cable is inserted through the conduit of the cable guide and into the annulus through the side port. One or more parameters of the well are measured using the sensing cable and signals representative of the parameters are transmitted along the sensing cable. The signals from the sensing cable are obtained and processed using a computing system to determine the parameters.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2023Date of Patent: January 20, 2026Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: William Roadarmel, Cole Aaron Grandjean, Justin Michael Yip, Mikko K.

Publication number: 20260011044Abstract: The following relates generally to providing virtual reality (VR) alerts to a driver of an autonomous vehicle. For example, a vehicle may be driving autonomously while the driver is watching a VR movie (e.g., on a pair of VR goggles); the driver may then receive a VR alert recommending that the driver take control of the vehicle (e.g., switch the vehicle from autonomous to manual mode). The following also relates to generating a VR feed for presenting real-time road conditions so that a user may preview a road segment. The following also relates to generating a VR feed corresponding to an event (e.g., a vehicle collision, a crime, a weather event, and/or a natural disaster).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2025Publication date: January 8, 2026Inventors: Aaron Williams, Joseph Robert Brannan, John Donovan, Brian N.

Publication number: 20250388226Abstract: Vehicles may have autonomous capabilities that permit the vehicle to navigate according to varying levels of participation by a human operator. A human operator may be associated with a driving capability profile and the environment surrounding a vehicle may be associated with an environmental risk profile. A vehicle, or another party in communication with a vehicle, may determine whether, based on the human operator's driving capability profile and the environmental risk profile, it is likely that the vehicle will be navigated more safely if there is a change to the vehicle's autonomous capabilities and a corresponding change to the human operator's driving responsibilities. If it is determined that a change in autonomous vehicle capability is likely to increase safe navigation of the vehicle, an insurer may offer an insurance premium cost reduction if the human operator agrees to the proposed change in autonomous capabilities.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2025Publication date: December 25, 2025Inventors: Brian Mark Fields, Leo Nelson Chan, Kristopher Keith Gaudin, Aaron Williams
