Patent number: 8560250Abstract: A system for transferring data includes an analyte test instrument (ATI) adapted to store data, a wirelessly enabled data management device (DMD) for comprehensively analyzing data, and an adaptor removably connected to the ATI for transferring data stored on the ATI to the DMD. The adaptor includes a data communication device capable of removable connection with the ATI, a microprocessor electrically connected to the data communication device, a wireless controller electrically connected to the microprocessor and a wireless transceiver electrically connected to the wireless controller. In use, data transfer is executed between the ATI and the DMD by electrically and mechanically connecting the adaptor to the ATI. Data stored on the ATI is then automatically downloaded into adaptor memory. Upon completion of the download, the user activates an externally accessible input device on the adaptor which, in turn, wirelessly transmits data from the adaptor memory to the DMD.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2010Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Abbott LaboratoriesInventors: Brian Edmond Connolly, Chad Harold Mace, Marc R.

Patent number: 8533187Abstract: Aspects of the invention relate generally to ranking geographic locations based on perceived user interest. More specifically, a database of three-dimensional models of buildings or other architectural features may be used to determine the level of user interest in a particular location and accordingly rank, for example, geographic locations or web or map search results with local intent. For example, various signals such as the number of models created by users for a particular location, the number of clicks or requests for the models of the particular location, the number of POIs contained within or associated with the models associated with the particular geographic location, number of categories associated with a model associated with the geographic location, number of embedded views or views of the models associated with the particular location on other web sites, and the age of the models associated with the particular geographic location.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2010Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Brian Edmond Brewington, Brian Gammon Brown, James Anthony Guggemos, Dale Hawkins, Bryce Stout

Publication number: 20120162225Abstract: Aspects of the invention relate generally determining user interests and providing relevant information based on user interaction with 3D models. More specifically, a when a user interacts with a 3D model of an object, for example on a map or from a database of models, the user's view of the object along with the location of the interaction (or where the user clicked on the object) may be transmitted to a server. In response, based on the view and location of the click, the server identifies relevant content and transmits it to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2010Publication date: June 28, 2012Applicant: Google Inc.Inventors: Po-Feng Paul Yang, Brian Edmond Brewington, Charles Chapin, James Anthony Guggemos, Dale Hawkins, Mark Limber, Mihai Mudure, Bryce Stout, Xinyu Tang

Patent number: 7461247Abstract: A system for meeting demanding boot time requirements, such as those timing requirement mandated by vehicle telematics systems, is described. Current computer systems use expensive hardware like coprocessors to service requests, such as input/output requests, that have timing requirements which are less than the time required to load the operating system into memory. Instead, a mini-driver may be initialized early in the boot process before the operating system is loaded, to service these requests. For example, the mini-driver may buffer incoming data, and/or reply to incoming messages. After the operating system has loaded, a second device driver may be initialized, and the mini-driver may be transitioned to the second driver.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2005Date of Patent: December 2, 2008Assignee: QNX Software Systems GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Peter van der Veen, Sheridan Ethier, Brian Stecher, Brian Edmond

Publication number: 20070125056Abstract: A multifunction electric tractor with an implement is disclosed. The tractor includes a tractor frame. The tractor frame includes a front end and a rear end. An implement is connected to the frame and has a moving part. A sensor is adapted to monitor a motion-related property of the moving part. A signal generator is in communication with the sensor. The signal generator generates motion data signals indicative of a current status of the motion-related property. A controller is in communication with the signal generator. The controller generates a response affecting the operation of the tractor based at least in part on the motion data signals.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2006Publication date: June 7, 2007Inventor: Brian Edmond
