Patent number: 11972469Abstract: A system for categorizing, visualizing, and recommending Cannabis products based on objective data of the chemical composition of products is described. This system allows Cannabis products to be visualized and compared based on their chemical composition, even by laypeople with little or no knowledge of the underlying objective data. A recommendation system is built upon this which can recommend products for consumption, including a user interface for receiving user input, which includes at least one of demographic data, desired level of psychoactivity, or prior experience with the product, a merchant interface for receiving merchant input, including at least one of general data descriptive of the regulated product, lab data descriptive of the regulated products chemical composition, and user data descriptive of subjective effects of the regulated product on a user; and a decision engine making a recommendation of product according to correlation of the lab data with the user data.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Leafly Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Nickolas Jikomes, Marc Brandon Hensley, Jason Makuch, Andrew MacRae, Nathan Lauer, Matthew Bollen, Stephanie Smith, Camille Lim, Michael Wityk, Adam Hilborn, Sam Starr, Christian Ramsey, Renata Le Duartes, III, Santiago Seira, Anna Zeng

Publication number: 20240122341Abstract: An apparatus for use with a rack of lockers is disclosed. The apparatus includes a key-facilitation server configured to cooperate with a locker server, and also configured to receive a key-access request. The locker server is associated with a rack of lockers including a first compartment configured to allow storage of secondary equipment, a second compartment having an open locker slot configured to maintain storage of equipment, and a locker divider separating the first compartment from the second compartment. The key-access request is configured to indicate a user request configured to request usage of an access key to be usable by the locker server. The locker server is configured to receive a locker-access request to indicate access of a selected locker is user requested. The locker server is configured to use the access key to facilitate secured user access of the selected locker associated with the rack of lockers.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Cory Finney, Christian Nitu, Nick Ramsey, Jordan Darrington, Jonathan White, Matt Hoenecke

Patent number: 11222547Abstract: A system for intelligent non-disruptive airspace integration of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) is disclosed. The system includes an onboard positioning system and altimeter that determine a current position and altitude of the UAS. Under normal conditions, the UAS remains in inert mode: a transceiver listens for and decodes transmissions from nearby aircraft and ground-based traffic and control facilities. If certain conditions are met (e.g., proximate aircraft, altitude ceilings, controlled or restricted airspaces) the system may declare an alert mode. When in alert mode, the transceiver broadcasts position and identifier information of the UAS to alert neighboring aircraft to its presence. Intelligent transmission strategies regulate the power level or rate of alert-mode transmissions to reduce spectrum congestion due to high UAS density. Alert-mode transmissions continue until the underlying conditions change and inert mode is resumed.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2021Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: UAVIONICS CORPORATIONInventors: Christian Ramsey, Paul Beard

Patent number: 10733894Abstract: A direct-broadcast remote identification (RID) device attachable to an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) encodes identifier signals based on a unique identifier of the UAS and position data, e.g., the current and originating (launch) positions of the UAS, and transmits encoded data signals receivable and decodable by specially configured receiver devices in range. The encoded identifier signals may be transmitted at low power via radio-control frequencies, whitespace frequencies, ISM frequencies, DME frequencies, or ADS-B frequencies as needed. The receiver devices may decode identifier signals to display the relative positions of, and information about, nearby UAS even in internet-denied areas (standalone mode). The receiver devices may retrieve additional data, such as operator information and flight plans, from remote databases by establishing wireless connections when said connections are available (connected mode).Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2018Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: UAVIONIX CORPORATIONInventors: Paul Beard, Christian Ramsey

Publication number: 20170372617Abstract: A registration authority (RA) server registers unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and their owners/operators (O/O). A UAV is maintained in a flight lock state until a flight plan request from the O/O is approved by the RA, which sends an key-signed approval to unlock the UAV's flight lock. The RA server evaluates a UAV's proposed flight plan based on the attributes of the O/O and UAV, the location and time of the requested flight plan, and a set of flight rules and exclusion zones that are developed in view of privacy assurance, security assurance, flight safety assurance, and ground safety assurance. The flight plan key-signed approval supplied to the UAV by the RA server specifies an inclusion zone that corresponds to a flight plan trajectory to be followed. Once in flight, the UAV maintains real-time knowledge of its position and time to ensure its flight remains within the approved inclusion zone.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2017Publication date: December 28, 2017Inventors: Ronald BRUNO, James Mathew KELLER, Christian RAMSEY

Patent number: 7366984Abstract: The names of contacts are stored as characters. Each character may include one or more phonic codes that are encoded into the character. A smart filter decodes the character into its constituent sounds. An input string is received that includes phonic codes. An application matches the decoded constituent sounds with the specified phonetic codes from the input string in accordance with rules of the spoken language and character boundaries to determine a contact to display.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2005Date of Patent: April 29, 2008Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Daryn E.
