Publication number: 20230111327Abstract: The disclosed embodiments generally provide visual and/or audio cues to a user to guide the user to a vehicle pickup-drop-off (PuDo) location, such as an autonomous vehicle (AV) PuDo. The user’s current location is determined based on information from the user’s mobile device. A path is determined from the user’s current location to the designated PuDo location, and instructions (e.g., turn-by-turn directions) to reach the designated PuDo are displayed on the user’s mobile device, for example, using an augmented reality (AR) interface on their mobile device that is updated in real-time. Disclosed embodiments also allow vehicles to authenticate the identity of a user before allowing entry of the user into the vehicle based on a sequence of hand gestures performed by the user that are detected by exterior sensors (e.g., camera, LiDAR) of the vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2021Publication date: April 13, 2023Inventors: Felice Ling, Tristan Dwyer, Linh Hong Pham, Christopher Konopka

Publication number: 20230096773Abstract: Among other things, techniques are described for preventing and mitigating fire risks on a vehicle. For example, multiple sensor inputs are provided to a predictive model which determines fire scenarios. A first fire risk data and second fire risk data are received from the sensors, and data indicative of fire prevention and fire mitigation is received. At least one fire prevention measure applicable to the first imminent fire risk condition and the second imminent fire risk condition is determined. The first fire risk data and the second fire risk data are compared to the fire mitigation thresholds. At least one fire mitigation measure applicable to the first imminent fire risk condition and the second imminent fire risk condition is determined. The at least one fire prevention measure or the at least one fire mitigation measure is activated.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2022Publication date: March 30, 2023Inventors: Linh Hong Pham, Christopher Konopka

Patent number: 11074101Abstract: Embodiments include method, systems and computer program products for switching between interrupt context input/output I/O processing versus thread context I/O processing. The method includes receiving, by a processor of a plurality of processors, an interrupt. A device driver for an I/O adapter determines that the dispatch latency for an associated kernel thread is greater than a first predetermined threshold. An adapter switches to an interrupt context mode. The adapter processes an I/O on the processor associated with the received interrupt to completion.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2018Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Mathew Accapadi, Chad Collie, Vani D. Ramagiri, Lloyd Phillips, Anil Kalavakolanu, Teresa Hong Pham

Publication number: 20120329014Abstract: An interactive computer based essay system that prompts students, step-by-step, field-by-field, to write a completed essay is disclosed. The system breaks down the essay-writing process into simple steps using unique processes and algorithms. It also integrates several external elements to ensure student success with writing. The essay system follows three key steps: 1) Follow the instructions based on the three key algorithms: “ABCD Algorithm”, “Advanced TEEEEC Algorithm”, and “Thesis Algorithm”; 2) Write an essay; and 3) Coach provides feedback. The platform allows for progress tracking so that customers know how students are performing with the system at all times. Parents and instructors, therefore, have the ability to gauge and guide improvement, as well as identify critical areas of focus for the student. Coaches are readily available to provide feedback.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2011Publication date: December 27, 2012Inventor: Vu Hong Pham

Publication number: 20120082973Abstract: The present invention discloses an interactive virtual classroom for scripted self-directed learning and education. While self-directed learning is often unidirectional or bidirectional, this application features a multi-directional learning approach. The multidirectional approach involves interaction with virtual classmates that are programmed with artificial intelligence (AI). Interaction can be between the instructor and the user student, the user student and the AI students, the instructor and the AI students, between the AI students. The content provided within the classroom is scripted and customized depending on what is being taught. An interactive virtual classroom allowing for self-directed scripted learning is disclosed. While self-directed learning is often unidirectional or bidirectional, this application features a multidirectional learning approach. The multidirectional approach involves interaction with virtual classmates that are programmed with artificial intelligence (AI).Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2010Publication date: April 5, 2012Inventor: Vu Hong Pham

Patent number: 7879534Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a detection device which involves providing a substrate having a layer of electrically conductive material and a first layer of photosensitive material. Next, the substrate is subjected to a first level photolithography treatment to produce an electrical conductor containing conductive fingers with spaces between them. Finally, biological probes are attached to the conductive fingers under conditions effective to form a gap between the biological probes on the spaced apart conductive fingers, whereby a target molecule, if present in a sample, can bind to a pair of the biological probes on the spaced apart conductive fingers to bridge the gap between the biological probes, allowing detection of the target molecule.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2002Date of Patent: February 1, 2011Assignee: Integrated Nano-Technologies LLCInventors: Hong-An Pham, Dennis M. Connolly
