Publication number: 20190213492Abstract: A system and a method of predicting outcome of a sporting event are disclosed. The method comprises receiving a predicted outcome of a sporting event from at least one team. Each team comprises a plurality of individuals. Each of the individuals predicts the outcome of the sporting event. The method further comprises aggregating the predicted outcome received from each individual in a team to determine a team consensus prediction for the outcome of the sporting event. The method further comprises capturing an eventual outcome of the sporting event. The method further comprises comparing the eventual outcome with the team consensus predictions to identify and reward a team and the individuals predicting the eventual outcome.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2018Publication date: July 11, 2019Inventor: Conor O.

Patent number: 10062249Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining, at a controller of a device of a premises management system having a head unit and a backplate, at least a partial removal of the head unit from the backplate based on a position of a removal switch that detects connectivity between the head unit and the backplate. When the controller determines that the position of the removal switch is in an open position, an orientation of the head unit may be continuously determined based on an output signal from an accelerometer coupled to the head unit. A tampering signal is output based on the open position of the backplate removal switch and the determined orientation of the head unit.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2017Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Yash Modi, Conor O'Neill, Shao-Po Ma

Patent number: 10001907Abstract: A computing device can automatically generate a flow diagram showing statuses that objects in a system can possess, and the possible transitions between these statuses. Using snapshots of database data, the device can determine how the statuses of these objects have changed over time. The device can analyze the data to suggest which database fields likely represent object status. The device can render the flow diagram to illustrate system states at different selected times. Each rendered flow diagram can indicate, for the selected time point, the quantity of objects that possessed each status at that time, and, for a selected time interval, the quantity of objects that changed from each status to each other status during that time interval. The statuses can be represented in the flow diagram as status bubbles having sizes that are based on the quantities of objects having those bubble's statuses at the selected time point.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2014Date of Patent: June 19, 2018Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Richard Stephen Grieve, Martin Hogg, Simon Leaver Lord, Conor O'Neill, James Steadman, Adam Chesney, Suman Karmakar, Stephen Vangasse

Patent number: 8839722Abstract: An integrated self-supporting and deformation-resistant modular driver's cabin structure for mounting to the front end of a rail vehicle body and for providing a driver space and a windshield opening, is composed of a composite sandwich structure with a single, common, continuous outer skin layer, a single, common, continuous inner skin layer and an internal structure wholly covered with and bonded to the inner and outer skin layers, the internal structure comprising a plurality of core elements. The driver's cabin structure comprises at least: side pillars each having a lower end and an upper end, and an undercarriage structure at the lower end of each of the side pillars. The fiber-reinforced sandwich located in the side pillars is provided with several layers of fibers oriented to provide a high bending stiffness. The fiber-reinforced sandwich of the undercarriage structure is such to transfer static and crash loads without flexural buckling.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2011Date of Patent: September 23, 2014Assignee: Bombardier Transportation GmbHInventors: Jan Prockat, Conor O'Neill, Joseph Carruthers, Mark Robinson

Patent number: 8692694Abstract: A method of detecting and recovering from stuck keys on an electronic device keyboard comprises receiving one or more messages by a processor based upon a predetermined periodic scan rate and each message corresponding to a pressed key, determining one of the pressed keys is a stuck key based upon the received one or more messages corresponding to a pressed key, sending a mock key-up message from the processor to a keyboard controller in response to the determined stuck key, operating the keyboard controller at a changed scan rate in response to the mock key-up message, detecting the electronic device keyboard is in a released key state by the processor; and operating the keyboard controller at the predetermined periodic scan rate in response to the detected released key state. The processor can include two components, such as a keyboard processor and a keyboard controller.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2009Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Conor O'Neill, Christopher James Grant
