Publication number: 20240367612Abstract: Methods and systems for a vehicle are provided. The method includes receiving identification data of an object outside of the vehicle from an identification recognition unit, acquiring authorization data associated with an occupant in the vehicle, determining the object is authorized to pick up the occupant based on the identification data and the authorization data, and unlocking a door of the vehicle in response to determining that the object is authorized to pick up the occupant.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2023Publication date: November 7, 2024Applicants: Toyota Motor North America, Inc., Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Cindy Kim, Imad Zahid, Allen Danklefsen, Daniel Holman, Dany Benjamin, Ian Evans, Felipe Salles, Eric Bursch, Melody Ayeli

Publication number: 20150211413Abstract: It may be necessary to eliminate soot from combustion engine emissions in order to comply with regulatory requirements. It may be desirable to avoid the need for a separate aftertreatment apparatus in order to eliminate soot from combustion engine emissions. A compression ignition engine may be configured to result in combustion having a peak value of equivalence ratio of less than 4.0 at the lift off length of the flame. This may result in particulate emissions of fewer than 1012 particles per kWh.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2013Publication date: July 30, 2015Applicant: Perkins Engines Company LimitedInventors: Ian Evans, David Heaton, Timothy Bazyn, Christopher Gehrke, Darren Ellis, Glen Martin

Patent number: 8179889Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems are provided for allowing a single machine, such as a server, to co-host multi-SIP Archive (SAR) applications offering SIP servlet based products. The concept of a Root Application Router is introduced that is adapted to coordinate other Sub-Application Routers rather than individual SARs. These other Sub-Application Routers are fully fledged Application Routers in their own right, but are unaware of the controlling Root Application Router.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2009Date of Patent: May 15, 2012Assignee: Avaya Inc.Inventors: Phillip Chan, Gilles Compienne, Ian Evans, Gethin Liddell, Owen Williams

Patent number: 8095611Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems are provided for enhancing the functionality of a communication device, such as a communication endpoint. This provides the ability to enhance less intelligent SIP endpoints with required features to support a richer user experience. Furthermore, the endpoint enhancer may be dynamically pluggable onto an existing network device. This provided pluggability allows a network administrator to add a new SEE template to the network without disrupting the network operation or the operation of previously existing SEEs.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2009Date of Patent: January 10, 2012Assignee: Avaya Inc.Inventors: Peter Barrett, Chris Boulton, Gordon R. Brunson, Ian Evans, Joel M. Ezell, Gethin Liddell, Harsh V. Mendiratta, David Shutt

Publication number: 20110147329Abstract: The invention relates to a high-efficiency load transportation system for use in the building construction industry. The system utilises a hoisting apparatus (18) installed in an upper story of a building (14) and at least one retractable loading platform (20) removably installable on an underlying storey such that it may extend beyond an edge of the floor of the underlying storey. An arm (24) of the hoisting apparatus may extend beyond a distal end of a retracted underlying loading platform to allow the unimpeded vertical lifting and/or lowering of loads beyond the platform. The hoisting apparatus is used to position each loading platforms on its underlying and reposition each loading platform thereafter. Such an arrangement yields significant reductions in load in/load out times and associated costs. The system also reduces the carbon footprint of the building project by reducing traditional tower crane usage.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2009Publication date: June 23, 2011Inventors: Ian Evans, Jonathan Harbron, John Fuller

Patent number: 3991565Abstract: A method of inhibiting combustion of some of the surfaces of a solid propellant charge for or in a rocket motor comprising bonding to said surfaces an elastomeric compound resistant to permeation by combustible components of the charge, and bonding a combustion inhibiting cellulosic derivative to the elastomeric compound, the cellulosic derivative being spaced from said surfaces by the elastomeric compound. The invention also relates to a rocket motor provided with a solid propellant charge inhibited in accordance with the method.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 1969Date of Patent: November 16, 1976Assignee: Imperial Metal Industries (Kynoch) LimitedInventors: Stuart Gordon, Geoffrey Ian Evans, Philip Graham Jones
