Patent number: 11947603Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include computerized methods, systems, and devices, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating terms of a search query based on a user's spoken utterances, identifying multiple cross-platform messages based on the generated terms, and to generating, via a presentation device, a single interface that enables the user to interact with identified messages. Based on a spoken utterance, the disclosed embodiments may determine user-specified search terms and/or criteria, and based on the user-specified search terms and/or criteria, may obtain cross-platform message data that corresponds to the search query. The communications device may generate one or more interface elements that describe corresponding ones of the cross-platform messages, which may be presented within a unified graphical user interface or voice-user interface by a communications device.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2023Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Vinh Quoc Ly, Ahmet Onur Tekdas, Timo Mertens, Okan Kolak, Charles Randell Sievert, Christine Nguyen, Jin Lu

Publication number: 20240098943Abstract: An electronic assembly may include a chassis having electronic module mounting positions and respective electronic modules received in each electronic module mounting position. A respective retainer may be coupled between the chassis and each electronic module. Each retainer may include a retainer body coupled to the chassis, and a liquid coupling body carried by the retainer body and movable between retracted and extended positions permitting insertion and removal of the electronic module. The liquid coupling body may have a retainer liquid outlet and a retainer liquid inlet configured to engage a module liquid inlet and module liquid outlet, respectively, when moved from the retracted position to the extended position.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Voi NGUYEN, Charles WEIRICK

Publication number: 20240083584Abstract: A rail assembly includes assembly includes a fixed carriage and a clamping system. The fixed carriage defines a receiving area and a rail at least partially supported within the receiving area. The rail is slidable along an axis relative to the receiving area. The clamping system applies a clamping force on the rail within the receiving area. A movable assembly may be supported on the rail such that the movable assembly is movable along the axis relative to the fixed carriage.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2021Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Charles Michael Parker, Foek Nguyen Le, Amen Omoragbon

Publication number: 20240082044Abstract: A portable urine collection system (200) may include a urine collection device, a conduit (217) in fluid communication with the urine collection device (212), a urine collection container (214) having an interior region, a pump (216), and a container support (202). The pump is in fluid communication with the urine collection container and is configured to pull a vacuum on the interior region of the urine collection container effective to draw urine from the urine collection device through the conduit into the urine collection container. The container support is configured to detachably secure to a wheelchair and support at least the urine collection container.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2022Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Hoang Nguyen, Charles Shermer, Katherine Van Orden, Camie L. Meller, Eric Alan Fallows, Eric Portante, Hersh Patel, Melody Kuroda, Melissa Young Joyner, Dana Ahmad Abdelal, Vinayaka Kulkarni, Audrey Earnshaw, Patrick Hudson Chancy

Patent number: 11826823Abstract: The invention is a system for the in-situ monitoring of additive manufacturing. The system, without pre-calibration of a test sample, utilizes ultrasonic waves to conduct a layer-by-layer analysis of a three-dimensional component as it is being developed on a build plate. Resonant frequencies for each layer is measured and the difference between the resonant frequencies of consecutive layers are calculated to define a baseline frequency. Similarities or differences in baseline frequencies are used to validate the integrity of the layers of the component, and also to determine if structural inconsistencies exists. Based on these determinations, the system decides whether to continue printing or to halt printing.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2021Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Charles Nguyen, Scott Ziv
