Patent number: 11341382Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for evaluation of a print verification system. One embodiment is a print system that includes a printer, a virtual printer, a print verification system, and a print server. The print server is configured to initiate an evaluation of the print verification system by providing a defective version of a print job to one of the printer and the virtual printer and providing a non-defective version of the print job to the other one of the printer and the virtual printer. The print server verifies functionality of the print verification system based on whether the print verification system detects the defects via comparison of the printed output of the print job by the printer against the bitmap image output of the print job by the virtual printer.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2021Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Phillip Eugene Miller, II, Carl Michael Dennison

Publication number: 20220129071Abstract: The disclosures relates to systems and methods for using a trained alignment neural network along with a trained latent representation model to achieve accurate alignment between complex neural signals arising from co-variation across neuron populations over time and their intended motor control that can be invariant for a much longer period without supervised recalibrations. In one implementation, the method may include receiving neural data for a period of time from one or more sensors. The method may further include transforming the neural data to generate aligned variables using a trained alignment network. The method may also include processing the aligned variables through a trained latent model to determine a latent spatiotemporal representation of one or more brain state variables for the period of time and decoding the latent spatiotemporal representation into a brain state for the period of time.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2021Publication date: April 28, 2022Inventors: Chethan Pandarinath, Mohammadreza Keshtkaran, Yahia Hassan Ali, Lahiru Neth Wimalasena, Andrew Robert Sedler, Lee Eugene Miller, Josephine Jane Wallner, Xuan Ma, Ali Farshchian, Brianna Marie Karpowicz

Patent number: 8858309Abstract: A louver for directing airflow in a refrigerated display case, and a refrigerated display case employing a louver. In some embodiments, the louver includes a plurality of fins positioned to define a plurality of channels therebetween through which airflow can be directed substantially in a first direction. Each fin can be elongated in a second direction substantially orthogonal to the first direction to define a length. Each fin can include an inlet end and an outlet end in a cross-section taken along the length. The louver can further include a curved inlet profile defined by the inlet ends of the plurality of fins.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2009Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: Hussman CorporationInventors: Michael Donald Grassmuck, Garrick Neal McFarland, Scott Eugene Miller

Patent number: 8700409Abstract: Subject matter described herein relates to providing to a mobile device a version of content (e.g., music, video, text message, live call, etc.) that is consistent with a user's filter setting. That is, a user is allowed to specify content elements (e.g., words or images) that are proscribed from being presented on the mobile device, and the user's preferences are stored by a mobile telecommunications network. When the network receives content to be provided to the mobile device, the network edits the content in real time to prevent proscribed elements from being presented on the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2010Date of Patent: April 15, 2014Assignee: Sprint Communications Company L.P.Inventors: Carl J. Persson, Jeremy Richard Breau, Eric Eugene Miller, Sei Yen Ng

Publication number: 20130087334Abstract: A temperature activated actuator installed on a tubular to actuate an adjacent device may include one or more shape-memory alloy elements. The elements may be coupled between a first portion and a second portion of a device, or the elements may be coupled between the tubular and a portion of the device. The elements are activated by raising the temperature to a transition temperature to cause metallurgical phase transformation, causing the elements to shrink and displace at least a portion of the device. The actuator may be used, for example, to actuate a centralizer from a run-in mode to a deployed mode or, alternately, to actuate a packing member from a run-in mode to an isolating mode. A nickel-titanium alloy, for example, may be used as the shape-memory alloy material from which the shape-memory element is made.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2012Publication date: April 11, 2013Applicant: FRANK'S INTERNATIONAL, INC.Inventors: Jean Buytaert, Eugene Miller

Patent number: 8330564Abstract: An electrical switching device including a base terminal that extends substantially in an axial direction and has a base contact. The switching device also includes a movable terminal that extends substantially in the axial direction and has a mating contact. The movable and base terminals extend generally parallel to each other and are separated by a field spacing. The movable terminal is selectively movable to and from the base terminal to electrically connect the base and mating contacts at a contact interface. The switching device also includes a magnetic shield that is located between the movable and base terminals within the field spacing. The movable terminal experiences a separation force when current flows through the base and movable terminals in opposite directions. The magnetic shield is configured to reduce the separation force experienced by the movable terminal to facilitate maintaining the contact interface between the base and mating contacts.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2010Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignee: Tyco Electronics CorporationInventor: Mitchell Eugene Miller
