Patent number: 11360310Abstract: An augmented-reality system is combined with a surveying system to make measurement and/or layout at a construction site more efficient. A reflector can be mounted to a wearable device having an augmented-reality system. A total station can be used to track a reflector, and truth can be transferred to the wearable device while an obstruction is between the total station and the reflector. Further, a target can be used to orient a local map of a wearable device to an environment based on a distance between the target and the wearable device.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2020Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: Trimble Inc.Inventors: Jordan Lawver, Steven Ostrowski, David Burczyk, Bryan Williams, Benedict J G Atkins, Martin Holmgren

Patent number: 10983901Abstract: Techniques are described for “fuzz testing” serverless software applications (for example, software applications implemented by a serverless compute service provided by a service provider network). Fuzz testing is an automated testing technique involving a fuzzer client application (or simply “fuzzer”) providing invalid, unexpected, or random data as inputs to a software application that is the target of the testing to discover software bugs and other runtime issues during execution of the software. To fuzz test a serverless application, a fuzzer continuously sends inputs to the serverless application and, when a runtime error is detected (for example, by monitoring log data generated by the serverless application), a copy of the serverless application can be invoked with the suspected error-inducing input to verify that the input indeed causes the error without interrupting the fuzzer's testing of the original serverless application.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2018Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Craig Wilfred Pearce, Bryan Williams, Khai Tran

Patent number: 10977379Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques implemented partly by a service provider to monitor a cloud-based service by generating and placing canary records in storage locations along with real records to identify improper access events of the records or other data. The service provider may detect an access event where records in a storage location were accessed, and determine whether a canary record was accessed. If a canary record was accessed, the service provider may determine that the access event was potentially performed by a malicious entity because authorized users generally may not have reason to access a canary record when utilizing their cloud-based service. The service provider may generate canary records that are difficult to identify by a malicious entity, and may position canary records in the storage locations to help ensure that the canary records are accessed by a malicious entity during an improper access event.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2018Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Bryan Williams, Khai Tran
