Publication number: 20240082744Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of amusement rides, and particularly the field of flying theatres. The present invention improves on previous flying theaters in that it provides guests greater motion, and additional types of motion accomplished in unique ways, while being more cost effective than existing flying theaters. The performance parameters of the theater give it the unique ability to not only smoothly replicate the motion of a light flying experience but also simulate motions that are more aggressive than in existing flying theater rides. Guests experience turbulence and more exciting experiences that would otherwise be sacrificed due to limitations in the range of motion or quality of experience of existing rides that would take the rider out of the experience.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2022Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Alex Yamich, Charles W. Fawcett, III, Nathan Andrew Jones, Darren Ulmer

Patent number: 11911611Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for measuring an impedance of one or more target cells before and after an electroporation protocol has been applied to the one or more target cells. The result of the impedance measurement provides a feedback control that can be implemented during and/or after the electroporation protocol to customize the electrical treatment for a particular target cell or cellular tissue.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: University of South FloridaInventors: Mark Jeffrey Jaroszeski, Timothy Fawcett, Richard Jason Connolly, Andrew M. Hoff, Reginald Morley Atkins, Douglas Walter Brown, Richard A. Gilbert

Patent number: 11561995Abstract: A server may support an aggregation service for a multitenant system. The service may support a method for data processing that includes determining that a plurality of tenants of a multitenant database system correspond to a common entity, where each tenant is associated with a respective instance of a cloud platform that services data from a corresponding database instance. The method may further include provisioning a new database instance for the common entity, generating a connector that is configured to access data of the corresponding database instance, generating a schema for the new database instance that aggregates the data of each database instance accessed by the connector, and instantiating a new cloud platform instance that is configured to access the schema of the new database instance, where the new cloud platform instance is configured to serve data queried from the schema of the new database instance via a client application.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2021Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Dan Mehlman, Andrew Fawcett

Publication number: 20210326321Abstract: Various embodiments concern custom adapters for platforms that enable synchronization with an external service. More specifically, the adapters can be used to read external data from a database associated with the external service, and then continually reference the external data in order to provide a live view of the external data. Thus, the custom adapters enable real-time, live data integration without data replication. The custom adapters also allow the external data to be dynamically mapped to data object(s) that are used to create the interface. Therefore, a user may be able to modify the external data using the interface and an interface associated with the external service.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2021Publication date: October 21, 2021Applicant: FinancialForce.com, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Fawcett, Maria Augustina Garcia Peralta

Patent number: 7299686Abstract: A device for determining soil compaction includes a control member fitted with one or more sensors that measure the response of the control member during co-action between the control member and a soil surface. In one embodiment, this response can be flexure as characterized by a measurable parameter such as strain. A measurement module in communication with the sensor or sensors determines a soil modulus for the soil based on the strain measurement from the sensor or sensors. In one arrangement, the control member includes one set of sensors that measure radial strain and another set of sensors that measures hoop strain. The device can also include a load sensor for measuring the load applied to the control member. In one embodiment the measurement module includes a processor that determines soil modulus based the strain measurements and the measured load.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2005Date of Patent: November 27, 2007Assignee: The Texas A&M University SystemInventors: Jean-Louis Briaud, Patrick Briaud, Yanfeng Li, Andrew Fawcett, Matthew L.
