Publication number: 20240134085Abstract: Geophysical anomalies in an area or region can be detected, characterized, or otherwise mapped using a combination of environmental and geophysical sensor data acquired using a vehicle, which may be a remotely operated or autonomously controlled unmanned vehicle. Anomalies are detected by processing the environmental sensor data and geophysical sensor data using artificial intelligence algorithms, programs, or models. As an example, the artificial intelligence algorithms, programs, or models can include machine learning algorithms, programs, or models. The environmental sensor data are processed to generate control parameters for controlling the acquisition and/or processing of the geophysical sensor data optimized for environmental conditions in the area.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2021Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Daniel P.

Publication number: 20240094823Abstract: A gesture-based wake process for an AR system is described herein. The AR system places a hand-tracking input pipeline of the AR system in a suspended mode. A camera component of the hand-tracking input pipeline detects a possible visual wake command being made by a user of the AR system. On the basis of detecting the possible visual wake command, the AR system wakes the hand-tracking input pipeline and places the camera component in a fully operational mode. If the AR system, using the hand-tracking input pipeline, verifies the possible visual wake command as an actual wake command, the AR system initiates execution of an AR application.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Daniel Colascione, Matthew Hanover, Sergei Korolev, Michael David Marr, Scott Myers, James Powderly

Patent number: 10929907Abstract: Providing an automation platform for the Internet-of-Things (IoT) includes receiving a request to access a marketplace to build a desired mashup of IoT-enabled Nodes for the automation platform, where the marketplace allows a search for and purchase of the IoT-enabled nodes, where a node is network-enabled device, sensor, or service, and where the automation platform allows performing automated tasks using the IoT-enabled nodes based on events for triggering evaluation, statuses for use in conditional statements, and actions for when a set of conditions are satisfied. A search term is received for the desired mashup and a presentation of a list of automation platform blueprints, nodes, services, and end points that match the search term is initiated. An end point is selected from the initiated presentation and a node builder tool is accessed that permits systematic configuration of a node for the selected end point for compatibility with the automation platform.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2018Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: PetroCloud LLCInventors: John Daniel Myers, Jr., Lance White, Luis Manuel Eduardo Lobo Borobia, Nicholas Roy Erickson, Keaton Quinn Foster, William Rhet Wylie, Eric Olazaba, Adam Christopher Mao, Mudrekh Shaukat Goderya

Patent number: 10805279Abstract: A hardware module for an embedded system comprises a network adapter, a memory and a processing device. The memory stores a shared key and a key identifier (ID) associated with the shared key. The processing device is to connect to a local area network (LAN) using the network adapter. The processing device is further to receive a first notification from a computing device that is also connected to the LAN and determine whether the computing device has access to a copy of the shared key based on the key identifier (ID). Responsive to determining that the computing device has access to the copy of the shared key, the processing device is to use the shared key to generate a session key for a session with the computing device. The processing device may then encrypt communications to the computing device using the session key.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2018Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: Ayla Networks, Inc.Inventors: Jigar Vora, Marko Kiiskila, Daniel Myers, Joseph R.
