Patent number: 11923949Abstract: Disclosed are passive reflector radio communications systems, such as for UHF frequencies or greater than UHF frequencies, and related deployment systems and devices that provide underground communications. Embodiments of the system include reflector elements to provide passive radio communications, structural frameworks to support and orient the reflector elements, methods for calculating reflector size, shape, and position corresponding to a desired wavelength, and deployment methods and devices to install the communication system at a desired location. The passive reflectors can be placed in a folded or otherwise compact mode, for transport into underground tunnels. Once at the desired installation location, the system can be installed, with the reflectors positioned appropriately for the radio frequencies used at the location.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Applied Minds, LLCInventors: Charles L.

Publication number: 20240031254Abstract: In an embodiment, a method is performed by a middleware computing platform and includes maintaining an active user pool comprising a plurality of servicing users. The method also includes exposing a service request interface to a plurality of user-to-user service platforms. The plurality of user-to-user platforms provide independent computing environments that separately execute user-to-user service workflows for requesting users. The method further includes receiving, via the service request interface, a plurality of service requests each from one of the plurality of user-to-user service platforms. In addition, the method includes automatically assigning one or more of the plurality of service requests to a target servicing user of the plurality of servicing users based at least in part on information associated with the service request and availability of the target servicing user. The method also includes exposing a service provider interface to the target servicing user.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Daniel Paul HUNTER, Edward Blake MITCHELL, Michelle DAVEY

Publication number: 20230245729Abstract: A system, device, and method for predicting a docked position of a target ligand in a binding site of a biomolecule is disclosed. The prediction makes use of a template ligand-biomolecule complex structure in order to predict a target ligand-biomolecule complex structure. The system and device contain modules allowing for the prediction of a target-ligand biomolecule complex structure. A preparation module can receive information identifying a target ligand and a template ligand-biomolecule structure. A pharmacophore matcher module can identify common pharmacophores between the template ligand and the target ligand. A docking module can predict a docked ligand position of the target ligand by overlapping the pharmacophore models of the target ligand and template ligand while the template ligand is in the binding site of the biomolecule. A biomolecule modification module can modify the biomolecule to reduce clashes between the docked target ligand and the biomolecule.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2023Publication date: August 3, 2023Inventor: Edward Blake Miller

Patent number: 9118603Abstract: An apparatus and method for managing a user's ability to access content on the Internet involves a reporting and control server, an Internet Access Control (IAC) device, the IAC device including at least one light to indicate when at least one disallowed event has occurred, and a reset component which, for the at least one light to be reset, must be coupled to the IAC device. The method involves receiving a web address, determining whether a requested Domain Name System (DNS) server is an acceptable DNS server, determining whether an IP address provided by the acceptable DNS server is a redirect IP address and, if so, indicating an objectionable content event has occurred by changing a state of at least one light on the IAC device, sending information so that a reporting and control server can transmit a reset, receiving the reset, and resetting the at least one light.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2013Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Inventor: Edward Blake Miller
