Patent number: 11860758Abstract: A system is described that obtains first performance data collected during execution of a first application at a first group of computing devices, determines, based on the first performance data, at least one metric for quantifying performance of the first application, and compares the at least one metric to a corresponding benchmark derived from second performance data collected during execution of one or more second applications at a second group of computing devices. Each of the one or more second applications being different than the first application. The system determines whether the at least one metric is within a threshold amount of the corresponding benchmark, and further determines, determines, based at least in part on the at least one metric is not within the threshold amount of the corresponding benchmark, a fix to the first application and outputs, for presentation at a developer device, an indication of the fix.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2018Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Fergus Gerard Hurley, Dino Derek Hughes, Olivier Benoit Gaillard, David Renaud Ghislain Chapelier, Johannes Tonollo, Simon James MacMullen, Yevhen Anisimov, Ioannis Ilkos, Benjamin Miles

Patent number: 9457386Abstract: A food and beverage dispenser for dispensing food and beverage products may have a clean in place (CIP) system that functions with minimal to no operator interface and disassembly. The dispenser may include one or more product barrels and an ingredient supply refrigerator. A nozzle cap containing a cleaning/sanitizing agent may be placed on a dispensing valve of the dispenser, and a CIP connector may be connected to a BIB connector after disconnecting the BIB connector from a BIB package. The CIP connector completes a CIP circuit that places the product barrel in fluid circulation with a water source and optionally another sanitizer source to help clean the dispenser in place. A heater may be included in the CIP circuit to heat the circulating fluid. A microcontroller or other computer processor may control the CIP process.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2015Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: FBD Partnership, LPInventors: Matthew Grayson Gates, Jimmy Irving Frank, David A. Renaud

Publication number: 20140168507Abstract: The present invention describes embodiments of a camera module (100, 100a, 100b) with enhanced heat dissipation. Heat generated from an image sensor (40) is conducted through a circuit substrate (150), a lens holder (130) disposed on a front face of the circuit substrate (150), an overmolded cover (174, 176, 178) and a cable connection (190). Further heat is conducted away through support members (136) of the camera module. In addition, heat is convected from ribs (134) formed on an external surface of the lens holder (130).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2013Publication date: June 19, 2014Inventor: David Renaud

Patent number: 5685458Abstract: An apparatus permits a drink dispensing system to dispense more than one non-carbonated beverage. The drink dispensing system includes a housing supporting dispensing valves, a syrup source communicating through syrup lines, and a water source communicating through a water line. The apparatus includes first and second interfaces mounted onto the housing. A bridge connects the first interface with the second interface to permit the water line to service dispensing valves mounted on both the first and second interfaces. The bridge includes a telescoping feature that facilitates variable spacing between the first and second interfaces.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 1996Date of Patent: November 11, 1997Assignee: The Coca-Cola CompanyInventors: Samuel Durham, David A. Renaud, Theresa M. Jackson, Paul A. Phillips, W. David Vinson

Patent number: 5415326Abstract: A beverage dispensing nozzle which dispenses beverages at a high volume flow comprises a housing which includes a body and cap having an opening therein connected to the top of the body, a conduit in the lower portion of the body, a diffuser residing over the conduit, and a diffuser plate positioned about the diffuser. The nozzle connects to a standard electric valve which communicates with both a beverage syrup source and a mixing fluid source. The diffuser includes a passageway which communicates with the beverage syrup source to deliver beverage syrup into a mixing chamber defined by the interior of the conduit. The exterior surface of the diffuser and the interior surfaces of the body and cap define a first channel which communicates with the mixing fluid source. The exterior surface of the conduit and the interior surface of the body define a second channel.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 1994Date of Patent: May 16, 1995Assignee: Lancer CorporationInventors: Samuel Durham, Weldon E. Griffin, David A. Renaud
