Patents by Inventor Benjamin Lichtner

Benjamin Lichtner has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20250343438
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus are disclosed for electrical power grid visualization. A computer-implemented method includes: obtaining power grid data including different temporal and spatially dependent characteristics of a power grid, the characteristics including a first characteristic, a second characteristic, and a third characteristic; and generating a graphical user interface (GUI) representing a visualization of the power grid data. The GUI includes a line-diagram representation of power lines in the power grid overlaid on a map of a geographic region in which the power grid is located, the line-diagram including a plurality of line segments, wherein attributes of each line segment represent the power grid data at a particular spatial location of the power grid.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 11442849
    Abstract: Mobile devices executing applications utilize data services worldwide, with issues involving the transfer of data on the network impacting the operation and user experience of those applications. Network data is acquired from a mobile computing device during communication and processed to determine occurrence of a burst which is representative of elements in the network data that are determined to be causally related. Bursts are analyzed, and those associated with poor performance are presented in a user interface. The user interface provides impact information about the effect the burst had on operation of the application. The user interface may provide suggestions to mitigate the poor performance. If no problem is determined by the system, but the user believes a problem to have occurred, user input is collected and used to trigger a workflow to analyze the burst. Subsequent results of this analysis are returned to the user via the user interface.
