Publication number: 20240081281Abstract: An automatic animal feeding system is provided. Embodiments of the automatic animal feeding system include an automatic food dispenser and a food canister storing food pods. The automatic food dispenser couples to the food canister, receives a food pod form the food canister, removes a cover or lid from the food pod, presents the opened food pod for pet consumption, disposes of the food pod into a disposal compartment that is sealed off from the ambient air, and implements other steps of an automatic feeding process. Aspects of the automatic feeding process can be efficiently implemented, for example, by actuating two motors based on data received from sensors of the automatic animal feeding system. Accordingly, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a compact, control-efficient, self-cleaning automatic animal feeding system that can continuously personalize feeding patterns or feed a pet with little to no human intervention over a period of time.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Peter FRANKLIN, Jeffrey PON, Matthew FIRLIK, Eric LIU, George TURVEY, Charles PUTLAND

Publication number: 20230393546Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for robotics planning. One of the methods comprises obtaining, for each of multiple skills to be performed by one or more robots in an operating environment, a skill footprint and a segmentation subset of the skill footprint that identifies one or more entities in the operating environment for performing the skill and that specifies requested permissions for the one or more entities; initiating execution of the skill; while the skill is executing, receiving a read or write request that references an entity that does not occur in the segmentation subset of the skill footprint; and in response, denying the read or write request that references the entity that does not occur in the segmentation subset of the skill footprint.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2022Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Stoyan Gaydarov, George Franklin Lu

Patent number: 11487561Abstract: According to an embodiment, a system and method are provided for constructing an accurate view of memory and events on a simulation platform. The system memory view can be used with a debug and analysis tool to provide post-processing debug, including searching forward and backward in capture time of the stored memory view to analyze the events of the simulation. The memory is constructed by capturing and storing each memory execution transaction, bus transaction, and register transaction during simulation. Changes in simulation platform hardware state may also be captured and stored in a hardware state database, including switches between process threads detected during the simulation that may update a simulator register. The captured events provide observability into the OS processes, the hardware, and the embedded software of the simulation platform.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2014Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: CADENCE DESIGN SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Andrew Wilmot, Neeti Khullar Bhatnagar, Qizhang Chao, George Franklin Frazier

Patent number: 10802852Abstract: According to an embodiment, a system and method are provided for supporting interactive debugging of embedded software (ESW) on a simulation platform. A processor model within the simulated system will support a register and memory tracing sub-module. Simulator and emulator breakpoints will be used with the modeled objects within the tracing sub-module. For example, a simulator breakpoint may be set for the task or function that buffers the trace information so it can be written to a file. A database of register and memory values which represent the complete history of register and memory value changes during a simulation can be created from trace information and can be accessed to non-intrusively obtain any processor register or memory value during simulation. The processor register and memory values of the database can also be accessed to symbolically show the behavior of ESW concurrently with hardware behavior in the simulation.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2015Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: CADENCE DESIGN SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Andrew R. Wilmot, Neeti Khullar Bhatnagar, Qizhang Chao, George Franklin Frazier, Yevgen Ryazanov

Publication number: 20200038542Abstract: A method is revealed that teaches that a UV or near-UV lighting source inside a lighting fixture can be used to fulfil two functions; (1) First, to disinfect room air of bioaerosols and remove certain air-borne chemicals; and then (2) To excite white or other color phosphor compounds, so that the final output of the lighting fixture is that of visible non-UV light. The method results in a minimal increase in operating energy costs over that of a standard LED light fixture, but with the added benefit of providing air disinfection and purification.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2018Publication date: February 6, 2020Applicant: Skizukesa Technologies LLCInventors: Philip George Franklin, Jeffery Jay Collins
