Patent number: 12183202Abstract: A parking availability predictor system provides a prediction of parking availability that meets a user's specified needs. When the user submits a query for parking availability, he can include desired parking criteria such as location, handicapped status, and desired time to begin parking. The system consults a parking occupancy model which gathers current and historical information about parking occupancy, including parking durations and durations of vacancies between occupancies. The model processes the gathered information into a statistical predictor of parking occupancy and vacancy. The system uses the predictor to predict when parking that meets the user's needs will become available. That prediction, including user-suitable parking locations along with the expected start of their vacancies, is then sent to the user in answer to his query.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2024Date of Patent: December 31, 2024Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Nikhil Dama, Laura Frisbie Evans, Christopher Ryan Haberland, Ting Lu, Simon Phillip Stolarczyk, Kristopher Thomas Williams

Patent number: 12175422Abstract: Examples provides on-hand inventory accuracy using radio frequency identification (RFID) tag data and expected populations of items for a plurality of sub-locations within a scan area. The system calculates a dynamic expected population of items value for each sub-location using item level data and modular display data for an item assortment assigned to a modular display within each sub-location. If the items detected by the RFID tag data match the expected population of items with a minimum confidence level, the system provides user feedback in the form of status indicators and/or accuracy indicators on a user interface. The feedback can also include audio feedback. If a discrepancy is detected, the system requests a rescan of each sub-location having a detected discrepancy. The system disallows update of on-hand inventory data using the RFID tag data if the discrepancy remains unresolved after the second scan and/or requests a manual verification.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2022Date of Patent: December 24, 2024Assignee: Walmart Apollo, LLCInventors: Sara Vaught, Hoang-Anh Au, Christopher Ryan Heeney, Marc Fletter, Jeffrey S.

Publication number: 20240375250Abstract: A tool includes an elongate shaft having a proximal end and a distal end, a handle disposed on the proximal end of the elongate shaft, a hook secured to the distal end of the elongate shaft, a housing slidably secured around the elongate shaft between the proximal and distal ends of the shaft, and a clutch-lock mechanism integrated into the housing and including a manually actuatable trigger. The clutch-lock mechanism passively grips the elongate shaft to prevent the housing from sliding toward the proximal end of the elongate shaft. However, manual actuation of the trigger releases the clutch-lock mechanism to allow the housing to slide toward the proximal end of the elongate shaft. The tool may be used to manipulate a grating panel.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2024Publication date: November 14, 2024Inventor: CHRISTOPHER RYAN LEE

Patent number: 12134991Abstract: A gaseous fuel supply to an engine at a wellbore can be monitored using a monitoring system. The monitoring system can include a sensor apparatus having sensors configured to monitor the fuel supply of the engine. The fuel supply can be transported within a fuel supply line of a wellsite. The monitoring system can divert a portion of the fuel supply of the engine from the fuel supply line to a fuel sampling line. The monitoring system can analyze the portion of the fuel supply using the sensor apparatus to determine a fuel property measurement of the fuel supply. Additionally, the monitoring system can determine that the fuel property measurement is outside of a predefined range associated with a target performance level of the engine. In response, the monitoring system can perform a mitigation operation to cause the fuel supply to enable the target performance level of the engine.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2023Date of Patent: November 5, 2024Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Brenden Chenoweth, Timothy Holiman Hunter, Christopher Ryan Almon, Austin Carl Schaffner, Billy D.

Patent number: 12134998Abstract: A reserve fuel system can be used to supplement fuel provided to an engine of wellsite equipment. For example, a fuel supply line can transport gaseous fuel at a wellsite to an engine of an equipment coupled to the fuel supply line. A reserve fuel tank can store gaseous fuel diverted from the fuel supply line. The reserve fuel tank can include a first valve coupling a first end of the reserve fuel tank to the fuel supply line to divert the gaseous fuel and a second valve coupling a second end of the reserve fuel tank to the engine. The second valve can be in a closed position to prevent the stored gaseous fuel from transferring to the engine or an open position to transfer the stored gaseous fuel to the engine. A control system can adjust the second valve based on a pressure of the fuel supply line.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2023Date of Patent: November 5, 2024Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Brenden Chenoweth, Timothy Holiman Hunter, Christopher Ryan Almon, Austin Carl Schaffner, Billy D.

Patent number: 12133194Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for enabling accurate estimation of a location of a water vessel. In an embodiment, a rescue system transmits a Short Message Service (SMS) message to a user device on the water vessel, the SMS message comprising a selectable option that, when selected, causes a location of the user device to be shared. Based on a selection by a user of the user device of the selectable option, the system receives a plurality of location coordinates from the user device at a plurality of respective times, each respective location coordinate describing a respective location of the user device at its respective time. The system computes an estimated location of the water vessel based on the plurality of location coordinates and an elapsed time between a current time and a time at which a last-received location coordinate was received. The system transmits the estimated location to a responder device.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2023Date of Patent: October 29, 2024Assignee: i911 International, Inc.Inventor: Christopher Ryan Bennett
