Publication number: 20240411707Abstract: A plug-and-play Hub that provides an intermediary between an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and peripheral electronic devices. The Hub has a power and data interface to the UAV and peripheral ports that allow the peripheral electronic devices to connect to the Hub. The peripheral ports provide power to the peripheral electronic devices and also allow data communication between the Hub and the peripheral electronic devices. The Hub may detect when a peripheral electronic device has been plugged into a peripheral port and access communication protocol information and voltage level information by way of the peripheral port. A Hub voltage converter receives power from the UAV and converts the UAV power source voltage to a voltage level that is suitable for the various peripheral electronic devices. The Hub has a data hub that mediates data communication between the UAV and the various peripheral electronic devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2024Publication date: December 12, 2024Applicant: Performance Drone Works LLCInventors: Philip Herlihy, Adam Daigler Wetzel, Dylan Thomas Hamm

Patent number: 12069042Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein enable improved security as well as more scalable and reliable job execution by utilizing granular security boundaries and certificate-based authentication for all communication within cloud-based platforms. To manage a cloud-based platform, a system receives a plurality of jobs and associated certificates at a first security boundary that are to be executed at various resource units within a second security boundary. The system then authenticates each certificate before transmitting each job to its respective resource unit for execution. In addition, the system is further configured to monitor active certificates for compromise and accordingly isolate various security boundaries in the event of a security breach. By isolating portions of the cloud-based platform within security boundaries, the system can mitigate the impact of security breaches. Furthermore, certificate-based authentication addresses performance constraints to enable more efficient and scalable job execution.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2021Date of Patent: August 20, 2024Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Nidhi Verma, Roberta Cannerozzi, Brian Gregory O'Connor, Darius Snapkauskas, Le Chang, Harpreet Singh Miglani, Phillip Isaac Beish, Dylan Thomas Nunley

Publication number: 20240197515Abstract: A involuntary movement dampening device is described that can reduce extremity pain and/or dampen involuntary movement of an extremity. For example, the device can include a first coupling extension including a first extension and a first coupling feature that can secure to a first part of an extremity of a user. The device can include a second coupling extension including a second extension and a second coupling feature that can secure to a second part of the extremity of the user.

Patent number: 11868846Abstract: A comparative rejection sampling technique selects a bound set of possible execution run results for a process to be simulated, such as a quantum circuit, for each possible execution run result a modeled probability of a state associated with the possible execution run result is determined. For example a tensor network algorithm may be used to determine quantum state probabilities for each quantum state execution result included in the bound set. Based on the determined probabilities one of the possible execution run results is selected from the set of possible execution run results as an accepted simulated execution run result for a run of the process being simulated.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2020Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Dylan Thomas Shields
