Patent number: 11891083Abstract: A system for context-based adaptive virtual experience control in a vehicle is provided. The system includes an output device configured for providing a sensory output to a user of the vehicle and a computerized virtual experience control module configured for controlling the output device based upon a virtual experience mode. The system further includes a computerized context-based adaptive control module configured for monitoring contextual data related to one of the user of the vehicle or operation of the vehicle, monitoring feedback from the user related to one of favor or disfavor related to the virtual experience mode, and utilizing the contextual data and the feedback from the user to selectively, automatically command activation of the virtual experience mode.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2021Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: GM Global Technology Operations LLCInventors: Alaa M.

Publication number: 20230300706Abstract: Multiple mobile cellular network (MCN) communication systems can be networked together to form a network of MCN communication systems (NOM). Each MCN communication system within the NOM can operate as an independent cellular network to provide communications between user equipment within a covered area. When a UE in one MCN of the NOM moves into a different MCN of the NOM, the corresponding MCN communication systems can handover the UE. The UE can also be handed over between MCN communication systems when the MCN communication systems move.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2023Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: Pamela Schemagin, Vincent Charles Graffagnino, Jouko Rytilahti, Ian Gibbs, James McGovern, John Green, Kyle Collins

Patent number: 8382164Abstract: In apparatus for and a method of inserting a series of contents (1) into a series of containers (3), identifying magnetic indicia are printed on each one of the series of contents before insertion in the containers. After insertion and sealing of the containers the contents cannot be visually inspected without breaking the seals. The indicia are magnetically read by a reader (7) through the material of the sealed containers (3) and visible indicia corresponding to the identifying magnetic indicator retrieved from store (6), and applied to the exterior of the containers by a printer (5). The apparatus and method are applicable to automatic mailing systems where it is necessary to ensure that the correct addresses corresponding to a previously inserted series of letters in a series of respective envelopes are printed later on the exteriors of the envelopes. Instead of magnetically based systems, infra-red radio isotope or radio frequency identification based systems may also be used.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2006Date of Patent: February 26, 2013Inventors: Ian Gibb, Allan Harle

Patent number: 8127382Abstract: A portable compact pillow system includes a travel carrier having a first half and a second half and also including a latching feature to secure the first half to the second half in a manner defining a hollow interior. A pillow is removably secured in a portion of the hollow interior defined by the first half, and a resilient member is secured in a portion of the hollow interior defined by the second half. The first half and the second half are attached one to the other on at least one side with a hinge such that the first half is separable from the second half and is pivotal about the hinge for substantially three-hundred-sixty degrees. The first half in its pivoted position is securable to the second half with the latching feature.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2009Date of Patent: March 6, 2012Inventors: Jennifer Plascencia, Ian Gibbs

Patent number: 5464476Abstract: A plasma processing device is described which is modular and can be scaled up by assembly together with similar devices to provide a capability for large area processing. The device includes a housing which contains an array of RF coils and into which a process gas is fed. The article to be processed is disposed close to the housing and egress of the process gas from the housing to the process region is resisted so as to maintain a positive pressure differential between the housing and the process region.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 1994Date of Patent: November 7, 1995Assignee: Central Research Laboratories LimitedInventors: Ian Gibb, Philip Allen, Andrew Barnes

Patent number: 5381064Abstract: A plurality of stepper motors, each of which comprises a stator assembly and a rotor, are axially aligned to form with a control system an encoder for use in a printing apparatus. The rotors constitute print wheels which support different print characters. The stator assembly of each motor only extends above a part of the circumference of the associated rotor. This enables the axial extent of the print wheels to be reduced, A sensor arrangement is provided to enable the home position of each wheel to be determined. In operation, the control system receives desired print character information and rotates the associated rotor to the correct position for printing to take place. Once all rotors have been rotated to their desired position for printing, printing can then take place. The arrangement enables the printing process to run faster than previously.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 1993Date of Patent: January 10, 1995Assignee: Macon Management & Design LimitedInventors: Richard I.
