Patent number: 11493378Abstract: A fuel level measurement system and method for liquified natural gas (LNG) powered machines is disclosed. An engine control module (ECM) receives fuel line pressure levels at a first time (e.g., a key-off event) and, again, at a second time (e.g., a key-on event). The ECM predicts an expected change in pressure from the key-off event to the key-on event based on various factors. If the change in pressure detected is greater than a threshold level different from the predicted change in pressure, the ECM determines a fill event and resets a current fuel level. The ECM tracks mass flow commands used to provide fuel to the engine to determine the consumption of fuel from the fuel tank and to determine a new current fuel level based on the amount of fuel consumed. The current fuel level is displayed on a fuel gauge.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2020Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Joshua Thomas Perko, Michael Joseph Campagna, Matthew Jordan Engfehr, Balasubramanian Ramachandran

Patent number: 10958502Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for auto-discovery of port-to-port connectivity through correlative analysis on performance metrics. Statistical data corresponding to each port of routers and transport devices may be collected. The collected data may be processed such that missing data may be patched and time frames may be aligned. Statistical analysis may be performed on the collected data. Such statistical analysis may comprise generating a waveform based on the data and determining, e.g., correlations in the data. If the analyzed data of one port matches analyzed data of another port, the two ports may be determined to be connected to one another. A match may be based on meeting various criteria and/or thresholds.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2019Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventors: Balasubramanian Ramachandran, Eric Frishman, Mannan Venkatesan

Patent number: 10922661Abstract: A calendar sharing invitation is received, and a receiver of the information is identified. The calendar sharing information is sent to the receiver, and the sharer's calendar data is synchronized to a computing system corresponding to the receiver. The sharer's calendar data is synchronized to a pre-accept memory, where it is hidden from the receiver until the receiver provides an input indicating that the receiver accepts the calendar sharing invitation. The sharer's calendar data is then exposed to the receiver for interaction by the receiver.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2017Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Szymon Madejczyk, Balasubramanian Ramachandran, Jaskaran Singh
