Publication number: 20230234565Abstract: A vehicle operable by an unrestrained or uncontained rider and including a controller programmed to identify a trigger for an autonomous vehicle response. A sensor of the vehicle is in communication with the controller and operable to detect a predefined condition as the trigger. A rider sensor system in communication with the controller includes one or both of: a rider cognition sensor, and a rider physical sensor to detect physical engagement between rider and vehicle. On the condition of the controller determining from the rider sensor system that there is positive rider engagement, the controller is programmed to instruct a first level of autonomous vehicle response to the one or more actuators to effect a change in the operation of the vehicle in response to identification of the trigger. In the absence of positive rider engagement determined by the controller, the first level of autonomous vehicle response is prohibited.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2022Publication date: July 27, 2023Inventors: Brian Ginther, Cindy Ann Miller, Matthew David Rasmussen

Patent number: 11518376Abstract: A saddle-ride vehicle includes a forward travel sensor a brake that decelerates the vehicle by actuation of a rider-operable brake control. A controller identifies a trigger for an autonomous braking event for the brake. A rider sensor system is in electrical communication with the controller and includes one or both of: a rider cognition sensor operable to detect parameters of rider cognition and report rider cognition status to the controller, and a rider physical sensor operable to detect parameters of a physical engagement between a rider and the vehicle and report rider physical engagement status to the controller. The controller is programmed to perform one or both of the following in response to the identification of the autonomous braking event trigger: checking for a positive cognitive engagement of the rider with the rider cognition sensor, and checking for a positive physical engagement of the rider with the rider physical sensor.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2020Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: Harley-Davidson Motor Company Group, LLCInventors: Brian Ginther, Cindy Ann Miller, Matthew David Rasmussen

Patent number: 9571595Abstract: To employ presence-based history information in conjunction with a notebook application, presence information for one or more users associated with a notebook application is determined from a variety of presence services. One or more interactions of the users are tracked in conjunction with a location within the notebook to record history information associated with the one or more users. The history information may be presented to the users through a user interface in conjunction with a location within the notebook application or through a separate user interface. The presented history information may include the recorded history information and statistical information based on the recorded history information. The users may interact with the user interface to employ the presented presence-based history information in conjunction with contents of the notebook application. For example, replay of user interactions in conjunction with a location within the notebook application may be enabled.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2013Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Nicole Steinbok, Daniel Escapa, David Tse, Thomas Wionzek, Olya Veselova, David Rasmussen

Publication number: 20160371431Abstract: Recent developments in cost-effective DNA sequencing allows for individualized genomic screening of a subject for genetic sequence variants. Training a pathogenicity prediction model using semi-supervised training methods produces a better model for predicting the pathogenicity of a test genetic sequence variant. Provided herein are methods for predicting the pathogenicity of a test genetic sequence variant by utilizing a training data set comprising labeled benign genetic sequence variants unlabeled genetic sequence variants, the unlabeled genetic sequence variants comprising a mixture of benign genetic sequence variants and pathogenic genetic sequence variants. The genetic sequences are annotated with one or more features and a machine learning model is trained in a semi-supervised process based on the training data.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2016Publication date: December 22, 2016Inventors: Imran Saeedul HAQUE, Eric Andrew EVANS, Sharad Mandyam VIKRAM, Matthew David RASMUSSEN

Patent number: 9438687Abstract: To employ presence information in conjunction with a notebook application, presence information is determined for one or more users associated with a notebook application. The presence information may be obtained from a variety of sources, such as a communication application, a social or professional network, and a presence module of the notebook application. Once determined, the presence information is presented to the users through a user interface in conjunction with a location within the notebook application or through a separate user interface. The notebook application may further track the presence information for the users interacting with the notebook application. The users may then be enabled to interact with the user interface to use the presented presence information in conjunction with content maintained by the notebook application.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2013Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Nicole Steinbok, Daniel Escapa, David Tse, Thomas Wionzek, Olya Veselova, David Rasmussen
