Patent number: 11904889Abstract: Velocity adjustments based on roadway scene comprehension may include controlling an ego vehicle traveling in a first lane, wherein the first lane comprises a lane of travel for the ego vehicle of a multilane roadway including at least the first lane and a second lane; capturing object ranges by the ego vehicle using at least a first sensor corresponding to a first sensor type; identifying a first vehicle operating in the second lane from the first sensor; determining a first velocity of the first vehicle; generating a first lane flow rate for the second lane from one or more captured object velocities, wherein the lane flow rate of the second lane is based on at least the first velocity of the first vehicle and a traffic density estimation; determining whether to modify an ego vehicle velocity based on the first lane flow rate; and in response to determining whether to modify the ego vehicle velocity, generating instructions for the ego vehicle's velocity.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2023Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: GHOST AUTONOMY INC.Inventors: Christopher R. Lumb, Prannay Khosla, Matthew D. Markel, John Hayes

Patent number: 9710333Abstract: A system for storing encrypted compressed data comprises a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to determine whether an encrypted compressed segment has been previously stored. The encrypted compressed segment was determined by breaking a data stream, a data block, or a data file into one or more segments and compressing and then encrypting each of the one or more segments. The processor is further configured to store the encrypted compressed segment in the event that the encrypted compressed segment has not been previously stored. The memory is coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2016Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventor: Christopher R. Lumb

Patent number: 9350549Abstract: Making a target file impractical to be retrieved comprises decrypting a directory manager file using a first directory manager file key. The directory manager file includes an encryption key for a segment that is used when reconstructing a target file. The directory manager file is modified by deleting a reference to the target file. The reference includes a file encryption key. Retrieving the target file is made impractical by the deletion of the reference to the target file in the directory manager file. The modified directory manager file is encrypted using a second directory manager file key.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2015Date of Patent: May 24, 2016Assignee: EMC CorporationInventor: Christopher R.
