Patent number: 11793190Abstract: This disclosure provides a method of detecting and deterring a target animal from a target area. A target area is positioned within the field of vision of a video camera connected to a computer processing system. An animal identification computer program using convolution neural networks and deep learning computer programs and camera images rapidly detects a target animal. The animal identification computer program is trained to identify target animals accurately using a learning algorithm and related machine learning technology. The time to deploy a deterrent against a target animal from the instant of detection is 2 seconds or less so that little or no time is available to the target animal to damage the target area.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2022Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Animal Deterrent Solutions, LLCInventor: Charles Hartman King

Patent number: 9386083Abstract: A managed services platform. An applications management server is provided for managing relationships with application service providers and others over a wide area network such as the Internet. The applications management server interfaces with a master database server and the servers of one or more application service providers, or other entities, to facilitate selection and deselection of applications, services, and capabilities that may be available for use by the information technology network of a company.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2015Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: ZVELO, INC.Inventors: Robert Charles Hartman, John Elton Dietrich, II, Jeffrey James Finn, Rodney Dean Holm

Patent number: 7467252Abstract: An I/O bus architecture is configurable so that I/O bandwidth may be re-allocated from one I/O slot or device to another. A first intermediate bus couples a system bus interface device to a first I/O bus interface device. A second intermediate bus couples the system bus interface device to a switching device. The switching device functions to couple the second intermediate bus either to the first or to the second I/O bus interface device responsive to a steering signal. The steering signal may be configured to indicate whether or not an I/O device is coupled to the second I/O bus interface device. If so, then the second intermediate bus is coupled to the second I/O bus interface device; but if not, it is coupled to the first I/O bus interface device so that the first I/O bus interface device may utilize the extra I/O bandwidth not being used by the second I/O bus interface device.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2003Date of Patent: December 16, 2008Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Charles Hartman, Raphael Gay
