Publication number: 20240100905Abstract: An electric vehicle having a heat exchanger formed in an aerodynamic airfoil shape comprising one or more body panels disposed along an outer surface of the vehicle having one or more fluidic chambers or micro-channels. The heat exchanger is adapted to provide effective and highly efficient heat transfer, and also to provide substantially reduced or negligible contribution to the aerodynamic drag. The heat exchanger includes a supplemental heat exchange system wherein at least a portion of the heat exchange capacity is provided by an inner heat exchange surface of the heat exchanger exposed to an interstitial space within the vehicle. Airflow is forced, via a fan for example, from an aerodynamically-efficient inlet, over the inner heat exchange surface, and exhausted through an aerodynamically-efficient outlet, thereby providing a supplemental heat exchange system including substantially reduced or negligible contribution to the aerodynamic drag.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: APTERA MOTORS CORP.Inventors: Daniel MORRIS, Steve FAMBRO, Eric BYERS, Chris ANTHONY, Jason HILL, John KLOPP, III

Publication number: 20240094710Abstract: The present disclosure describes computer systems and computer-implemented methods for use in an agricultural operation. Vehicle location information for at least one agricultural vehicle is received, and the vehicle location information is used to determine a vehicle path. Vehicle state information is received from the vehicle and is used to determine whether the vehicle is in a working or non-working state. The vehicle path is then rendered on a map display, with the map display visually distinguishing between sections of the vehicle path traversed while the vehicle is in the working state and sections of the vehicle path traversed while the vehicle is in the non-working state.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Christopher HUNSAKER, Kendal HUNSAKER, Dave KING, Evan ORME, Jason HILL, Daniel PIQUET, Jonathan NELSON

Patent number: 11937032Abstract: A system for remotely retrieving sensed conditions at one or more building components. The building components are remote or numerous so that a wireless collection of the sensed conditions provides a significant benefit to a builder or building operator. A remote transceiver sends a wireless signal to a building component. The building component includes an onboard transceiver. At least some of the energy from the transmitted wireless signal is received by the onboard transceiver, sent to a storage device, and stored therein. The stored energy is used to operate a sensor for sensing an onboard condition. The onboard condition is then wirelessly transmitted by the onboard transceiver back to the remote transceiver to be displayed.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: BLACK & DECKER INC.Inventors: Daniel J.

Publication number: 20230243630Abstract: A concealed amalgamated neutralizer device covertly combines neutralizer material of inert materials such as calcium carbonate or silicates with common energetic material for the prevention of malicious use of the energetic material. The concealed amalgamated neutralizer device may vary in shape, size, and color and is therefore adaptable to varying methods of containment. The neutralizer material mimics the energetic material without detection. Upon disassembly of the concealed amalgamated neutralizer device, the neutralizer material is mixed with and neutralizes the energetic material rendering the energetic material useless. A container is provided which has a bottom section having an interior surface including a plurality of integrally formed recesses that are filled with the energetic material which allow manipulation of flash direction and intensity upon detonation.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2023Publication date: August 3, 2023Applicant: I P Creations LimitedInventors: Benjamin John Green, Daniel Hill Meeker

Publication number: 20220316616Abstract: A valve body structure is provided and includes a main pipe, a secondary pipe and a liquid storage tank, where the liquid storage tank stores a second liquid from the secondary pipe and controls whether the second liquid in the liquid storage tank flows into the main pipe by a solenoid valve, so that the second liquid is mixed with a first liquid in the main pipe. Therefore, the valve body structure can mix liquids without combining other components and has a lower cost and a smaller volume. As such, the issue of the remaining residual liquid when combined with other components for control, which reduces the control accuracy and even causes the problem of mixed pollution, can be avoided.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2022Publication date: October 6, 2022Inventors: Daniel Hill, Yi-Hsuan Chang

Patent number: 11126785Abstract: An optimal combination of content items may be determined and served to increase the likelihood of a predefined user interaction. A user can request content which may include an entity (such as a web page, document, advertisement, and the like) that has multiple components through which content items may be provided. For example, a web page may include multiple slots where content items may be displayed on the web page. Each component may be associated with multiple possible content items, resulting in many combinations of layouts for an entity. A content server may determine which layout to provide using a content selection model that is weighted based on a likelihood of groupings of content items resulting in a user interaction that satisfies a success condition (e.g., selecting a hyperlink, selecting a content item, initiating a transaction, etc.).Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2017Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Houssam Nassif, Daniel Hill, Tao Hu, Anand Mahadeva Iyer, Jian Liu, Yi Liu, Sriram Srinivasan, Vishwanathan Swaminathan

Patent number: 10785111Abstract: A method for monitoring tunneled Internet Protocol (IP) traffic in a communication network includes monitoring tunnel signaling flows to determine relationships between tunnels and subscriber sessions for each established tunnel. A first tunnel signaling state is stored in a data repository for each established tunnel. The first tunnel signaling state is indicative of the determined relationship between the tunnel and corresponding subscriber sessions. A second tunnel signaling state is validated based on the stored first tunnel signaling state to identify incorrect association between a monitored tunnel and corresponding subscriber session, in response to detecting a monitoring gap.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2017Date of Patent: September 22, 2020Assignee: NetScout Systems, IncInventors: Daniel Hill, Vignesh Janakiraman

Patent number: 10754912Abstract: Representative embodiments disclose mechanisms to improve the perceived responsiveness of a search engine. As a user types a query prefix into a browser or other interface to the search engine, the search engine returns query completion suggestions to the browser. The query completion suggestions, user history, user favorites and/or other information are presented to a trained machine learning model on the client device to predict a desired location that the user is attempting to navigate to. When the confidence level of the predicted location surpasses a threshold, content from the desired location is preloaded into a hidden tab in the browser. When the user submits a query, the browser submits feedback to a system responsible for updating and refining the machine learning model. Updated machine learning model coefficients can be received by the browser from the system to make predictions more accurate.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2018Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Nathan Novielli, Yan Zhong, Paul Baecke, Sean Lyndersay, David Sheldon, Malik Mehdi Pradhan, Dheeraj Mehta, Daniel Hill
