Publication number: 20230385736Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards identifying and decreasing operational pain and increasing system efficiency through health monitoring and management. This may be accomplished through measuring, monitoring, reducing meaningful incident behavior across an organization and using it to inform necessary changes in the organizational operations to improve efficiency, or the like. Ergonomic data or metrics collected by a resource management engine may be used to intelligently inform management decisions to increase human well-being across the organization's workforce to optimize overall system performance. Accordingly, resource management engines may identify areas in organizations that need improvement or repair. In some embodiments, resource management engines may be arranged to participate in a continuous feedback loop that may provide continuous overall system optimization.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventors: Ophir Ronen, Justin David Kearns, Shawn Christopher Motley, Thomas Dziedzic, Owen Howard Wilson

Patent number: 11777621Abstract: User equipment (UE) can include a spectrum analyzer to monitor characteristics of transmission channels. The user equipment can monitor a 600 MHz spectrum and associated channels, for example, to determine if the spectrum is free of interference or is currently occupied. The UE can analyze a received signal strength indication (RSSI), a reference signal received power (RSRP), a reference signal received quality (RSRQ), and signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), for example, to distinguish between types of interference if a channel is occupied. User equipment (UE) can aggregate data and report such data to a network device further aggregate the data and to generate reports. Network components can be deployed or optimized based at least in part on network metrics provided by individual UEs or aggregated data provided by a plurality of UEs. In some instances, the UE can be a mobile phone of a customer to gather metrics in a distributed manner.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2021Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Jong Sung Yoon, Jie Hui, Daniel Howard Wilson, Thomas P.

Publication number: 20210304093Abstract: Implementations of this disclosure are directed towards the computer-implemented determination of interrupt events from a plurality of notification events generated by one or more of a plurality of computer systems. Interrupt events are associated with notifications designed to immediately alert a responder. A health score is generated as a weighted sum of one or more health sub-scores that are generated using one or more health sub-score models that take as input more health metrics representative of data associated with one or more interrupt events. The health sub-scores are representative of an impact relating to the management of operations of the plurality of computer systems and the weights used in the weighted score are representative of an estimation of the relative impact of the generated health sub-scores. The health sub-score models may be automatically modified according to an automated analysis of historic operational outcome metrics and historic scores.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2021Publication date: September 30, 2021Inventors: Ophir Ronen, Justin David Kearns, Shawn Christopher Motley, Thomas Dziedzic, Owen Howard Wilson

Patent number: 10827168Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for capturing radio frequency (RF) signal over the air, processing spectrum power data, and uploading data to a central data repository for analysis and reporting. Captured RF signals are filtered and amplified via a front-end module of a probe that includes a filter and a low noise amplifier (LNA). Output signals can be decoded into digital TV metadata and image captures via a TV tuner and spectrum power, and then analyzed via a software defined radio (SDR). Digital TV metadata and images, as well as SDR data, can be uploaded and collected at a server. The server processes collected spectrum data from SDR into spectrum reports. The server can also analyze collected digital TV metadata to identify with increased accuracy RF sources originating from transmitting TV facilities.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2018Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Antoine T.

Patent number: 10410159Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards embodiments for monitoring or predicting user health with respect their use of connected computers, such as, mobile phones, tablets, or the like. Activities associated with a user and a computing device may be monitored to determine activity events. One or more sub-scores may be provided in real time based on metrics provided as input to sub-score models such that the metrics are associated with the activity events. A health score associated with a probability of an occurrence of adverse user outcomes may be provided based on a health model that uses the sub-scores. An analysis engine may compare the health score to other health scores to predict in real time the adverse outcomes. The analysis engine may recommend one or more actions to decrease the probability of the occurrence of the adverse outcomes based on the result.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2018Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: PagerDuty, Inc.Inventors: Ophir Ronen, Justin David Kearns, Shawn Christopher Motley, Thomas Dziedzic, Owen Howard Wilson

Publication number: 20190212021Abstract: Ridge vents configured to cover an open ridge of a roof and allow a flow of air to exit from the open ridge through the ridge vents are provided. The ridge vents include a center portion having a length and a plurality of grooves. Left and right portions are connected to the center portion. The center portion is configured to flex along it's length, thereby forming a ridge vent angle between the left and right portions.
