Patent number: 11935292Abstract: In a method or system in which an imaging element views navigation elements for e.g. navigation, the navigating elements may not be positioned optimally. Positions may exist in which the same angles exist from the imaging element to the same or similar navigating elements, whereby the positions are not unique. Navigation elements may then be repositioned, added or removed to make the positions unique.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Carnegie Robotics, LLCInventors: David Ian Robinson, Troy Edward Tancraitor, David Larose

Patent number: 11830022Abstract: A method that includes receiving a string from a remote station, the string associated with an interaction event between a user and the remote station, is provided. The method includes verifying that the string includes a content validation for a user account in a network service, mapping at least a portion of the string to a ticker symbol associated with an entry in a database and transmitting, to the user, a message indicating that a fractional value associated with the ticker symbol has been added to the user account in the network service. A system configured to execute the above method is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2022Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Stash Financial, Inc.Inventors: Clifford Hazelton, Adam Finley, Michael Barany, Kyle Schustak, Brandon Krieg, Edward Robinson, Evan Weiss

Publication number: 20230358454Abstract: An HVAC system includes a compressor, condenser, and evaporator. A sensor measures a value associated with the refrigerant in the condenser or the evaporator, and a controller is communicatively coupled to the compressor and the sensor. The controller determines, based on an operational history the compressor, that pre-requisite criteria are satisfied for entering a sensor validation mode. After determining the pre-requisite criteria are satisfied, an initial sensor measurement value is determined. Following determining the initial sensor measurement value, the compressor is operated according to a sensor-validation mode. Following operating the compressor according to the sensor-validation mode for at least a minimum time, a current sensor measurement value is determined. The controller determines whether validation criteria are satisfied for the current sensor value. In response to determining that the validation criteria are satisfied, the controller determines that the sensor is validated.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventors: Rakesh Goel, Siddarth Rajan, Edward Robinson, Patric Ananda Balan Thobias
