Patent number: 9824336Abstract: A method to identify and manage recyclable materials. The method includes the steps of: (i) identifying, using a mobile device, a recyclable material based on a detected oscillation frequency of an oscillator associated with the recyclable material; (ii) communicating, using the mobile device, information about the recyclable material to a controller, the information comprising an identification of the recyclable material and a location of the recyclable material; and (iii) creating, by the controller, scheduling instructions for the identified recyclable material.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2016Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Gabriel P. Borges, Claude Falbriard, Grant D. Miller, Nader M. Nassar

Patent number: 9719224Abstract: In a vehicle skid recovery system skid recovery can be accelerated when an automotive vehicle begins to skid as a result of ice accumulation on the road surface. The system can control operation of ice removers (e.g., blades or heaters), which are mounted within the wheel wells forward of the wheel, based on information received from the vehicle's outside temperature sensor and anti-lock braking system (ABS). When the temperature sensor indicates that the outside temperature is below a predetermined temperature and when the anti-lock braking system is activated as a result of detected skid, a controller activates the ice remover in one or more of the wheel wells and, thereby cause the ice remover to remove ice from the road surface forward of the corresponding wheel. Clearing the ice allows the vehicle's tires to gain traction on the road surface and, thereby stops the skid.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2015Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorproationInventors: Gabriel P. Borges, Scott R. Crowther, Abraham G. Guerra, Grant D. Miller, Nader M. Nassar, Tamer M. Nassar

Patent number: 9712601Abstract: A computer system and associated method and software where communications between the cloud and a sensor device (for example, a temperature sensor) pass through and are processed by a middleware appliance. The middleware appliance creates data structures called cloud event data objects (cEDOs). A cEDO may include, for example: event data, device data, sensor data, geo key data, payload key data and data value pairs.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2013Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Gabriel P.
