Patent number: 11554718Abstract: For driver assistance for a combination (8) with a motor vehicle (9) and a trailer (10), a first camera image (19) and a second camera image (20) are generated. A combined image (21) is generated by means of a computing unit (13) by superimposing the camera images (19, 20) such that the second camera image (20) covers a subsection of the first camera image (19), wherein a hitch angle (14) of the combination (8) is determined by means of the computing unit (13). State data of the combination (8) are determined by means of a sensor system (17) and it is determined whether the combination (8) moves forward or backward. The hitch angle (14) is determined based on the state data, if the combination (8) moves forward and based on a change of time-dependent image data, if the combination moves backward. A position of the subsection is determined depending on the hitch angle (14).Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2020Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: Connaught Electronics Ltd.Inventors: Naveen Kuruba, Alan Murphy, Alan Hanniffy

Patent number: 11034196Abstract: A method of locating a wheel-mounted electronic device, such as a tire pressure monitoring device. A wireless signal is transmitted from an interrogation device from each of a plurality of interrogation locations. The signals are received by the wheel-mounted device and received signal strength is measured for each interrogation location. The wheel-mounted device then transmits, in respect of each interrogation location, a wireless signal indicating the measured signal strength. These signals are received by the interrogation device which determines from them a location of the wheel-mounted device with respect to a wheel.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2018Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: SCHRADER ELECTRONICS LIMITEDInventors: William David Stewart, Alan Murphy, Stephen Robb

Patent number: 10485752Abstract: A skin defense system and a skin rejuvenation and defense system. The skin rejuvenation and defense system includes a skin rejuvenation application and a skin defense application that work together synergistically to rejuvenate and defend the skin from environmental insults that can accelerate the aging process and deprive the skin of its vitality. The skin rejuvenation application invigorates, oxygenates, and detoxifies the skin. After the skin has been opened up and made receptive by the skin rejuvenation application, the skin defense application absorbs into the skin to deeply moisturize and revitalize the skin. In addition to moisturizers, emollients, and similar ingredients that improve health and appearance of the skin, the skin defense application includes ingredients that can, for instance, reverse and protect the skin from damage caused by pollutants (e.g., pollutants up to 2.5 micrometers) and pre- and pro-biotics that promote the growth and development of beneficial skin flora.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2018Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: Maple Mountain Group, Inc.Inventors: Holly Stone Stout, Keith Alan Murphy

Patent number: 9444620Abstract: A method, computer readable medium, and apparatus for secure application delivery includes forming at a traffic management device a session identifier in response to a first request from a client device for access to a network application. The session identifier is encrypted for sending to the client device using a session variable formed by hashing at least one physical identifier associated uniquely with the client device in response to the first request. In a second request from the client device to access the network application, the encrypted session identifier is decrypted using an updated value of the session variable. The access to the network application is provided when the decrypted session identifier matches the formed session identifier, and denied when the decrypted session identifier does not match the formed session identifier.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2010Date of Patent: September 13, 2016Assignee: F5 Networks, Inc.Inventors: Alan Murphy, Ido Breger
