Patent number: 12243498Abstract: An electrophoretic display comprising a fluid including a first species of particles and a charge control agent disposed between first and second electrodes. When a first addressing impulse have an electrical polarity is applied to the medium, the first species of particles move in one direction relative to the electric field, but when a second addressing impulse, larger than the first addressing impulse but having the same electrical polarity, is applied to the medium, the first species of particles move in the opposed direction relative to the electric field.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2021Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: E Ink CorporationInventors: Stephen J.

Publication number: 20250050837Abstract: In system and methods for loss mitigation, accident data associated with a vehicle accident involving a driver may be collected. The accident data may be analyzed, and a likely severity of the vehicle accident may be determined based upon the analysis of the accident data. A communication related to emergency assistance or an emergency assistance recommendation may be generated based upon the determined likely severity of the vehicle accident, and transmitted, via wireless communication, from one or more remote servers to a mobile device associated with the driver A wireless communication from the driver indicating approval or modification of the emergency assistance or emergency assistance recommendation may be received. A third party may be notified, via a communication sent from the remote server(s), of requested emergency assistance as approved or modified by the driver. An estimated insurance claim may also be generated based upon vehicle accident likely severity.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2024Publication date: February 13, 2025Inventors: Thomas Michael Potter, Mark E. Clauss, Dustin Ryan Carter, Douglas A. Graff, Megan Michal Baumann, Atlanta Bonnom, Craig Benjamin Cope, Jennifer Luella Lawyer, Curtis Simpson, Nathan W. Baumann

Patent number: 12217431Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a panoptic segmentation mask for an input image. The methods include receiving the input image comprising a plurality of pixels, generating a semantic mask and an instance mask from the input image, and combining the semantic mask and the instance mask to generate a panoptic mask for the input image. The semantic mask includes a single-channel mask that associates each pixel in the input image with a corresponding one of a plurality of labels. The instance mask includes a plurality of masks, where each of the plurality of masks identifies an instance of a countable object in the input image, and is associated with an indication of whether that instance of the countable object is hidden behind another object in the input image.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2022Date of Patent: February 4, 2025Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Guy Hotson, Nicolas Cebron, John Ryan Peterson, Marius Seritan, Craig Bryan

Publication number: 20240179181Abstract: A system and method for authorization policy evaluation. Authorization policies are authored in a general-purpose authorization language. An evaluation engine is used in a provider network by application developers to manage access within their applications based on fine-grained permissions. The policy language combines elements of role-based and attributed-based access control within an intuitive syntax and efficient evaluation strategy. The policy syntax separates role-based expressions of a policy from attribute-based expressions of the policy.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2022Publication date: May 30, 2024Inventors: Emina TORLAK, Darin MCADAMS, Neha RUNGTA, Michael W. HICKS, Craig Ryan DISSELKOEN, Aaron Joseph ELINE, John Holman KASTNER, Kyle HEADLEY, Anwar MAMAT, Richard Matthew MCCUTCHEN, Andrew Marshall WELLS, Kesha Hanne HIETALA, Shaobo HE, Mark Edward STALZER, Julian LOVELOCK

Publication number: 20210309268Abstract: System and methods are provided for warning a worker of a rail vehicle, or an operator of the rail vehicle of the worker. The system includes a worker device, a vehicle device, and a central server. The devices and server operate on one or a combination of actual or simulated satellite navigational signals, and beacon signals to determine the position of the devices, to generate a warning. The position determination may prioritize beacon signals over satellite navigation signals. The position determination may involve correcting a calculated position based on a measured power level of the beacon signal received from the beacon transmitter, an elapsed time since a previous beacon signal was last received by the device from the beacon transmitter, an elapsed time since a previous satellite navigation signal was received by the device, or an accuracy of the position of the device based on the satellite navigation signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2021Publication date: October 7, 2021Inventors: Douglas Grant Fisher, Robert Donovan, Craig Ryan van der Veen, Carl William Lorimer

Patent number: 10922414Abstract: Devices, systems, methods, and computer program products for managing network access control with a build system are disclosed. The build system controls network filtering at retail stores based on identifiers of Point of Sale devices connected to the store's LAN (Local Area Network). This filtering places only authorized devices on a virtual LAN within the LAN that is reserved for POS terminals. The network access control is managed by a process built into the build system.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2018Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: Target Brands, Inc.Inventors: Andrew James Wipf, David Pankratz, Joseph Eckberg, Kevin Newland, Adam Joseph Nawrocki, Craig Ryan Janssen, Dylan Essing

Publication number: 20060100956Abstract: The present invention provides for a method of updating an internet search engine database with the results of a user's selection of specific web page listings from the general web page listing provided to the user as a result of his initial keyword search entry. By updating the database with the selections of many different users, the database can be updated to prioritize those web listings that have been selected the most with respect to a given keyword, and thereby presenting first the most popular web page listings in a subsequent search using the same keyword search entry.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2005Publication date: May 11, 2006Inventors: Grant Ryan, Shaun Ryan, Craig Ryan, Wayne Munro, Del Robinson

Publication number: 20020161461Abstract: A computer aided game apparatus is disclosed for tracking location and distance on a golf course, recommending club selection, recording golfer performance statistics, receiving notification via a pager, and playing infomercials during the course of a golf game. The apparatus has a processor connected to a memory which is suitably supports a geographic information system (GIS), a player performance database, and an infomercial database. The apparatus has a global positioning receiver which operates in conjunction with the GIS for indicating the current position of the golfer. The GPS receiver is connected to the processor which in turn drives a convenient, intuitive touch screen display. The apparatus has a pager which allows for direct contact with the golfer. To support data networking, the microprocessor is also connected to one or more interface ports, including an infra-red port, a parallel port, a serial port, and a PCMCIA port.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2001Publication date: October 31, 2002Inventors: Lawrence Patrick Lobb, Brandon Scott Lobb, Craig Ryan Spradling

Patent number: 5412672Abstract: Optical wave-guides, e.g. fibres, for use as photonic amplifiers have a path region partly or, preferably, wholly composed as a silica/germania glass with 0.1 to 5000 ppm mole of Er.sup.3+ as a lasing additive and alumina to adjust the bandwidth, the Ge:Al mole ratio being more than 2.8, e.g. 1:0.001 to 0.25. It is surprising that low amounts of alumina have a useful and significant effect on the lasing bandwidth whereby frequency division multiplex is facilitated.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 1993Date of Patent: May 2, 1995Assignee: British Telecommunications public limited companyInventors: Benjamin J. Ainslie, Susan P. Craig-Ryan
