Patent number: 11780186Abstract: Methods for fabricating inflatable devices made from air- or gas-holding fabrics. Specific embodiments relate to seam tapes, films, structural components or accessories welded to one or more fabric panels. Specifically disclosed is a fabrication system and method that reduces potential damage due to overheating seam areas. This disclosure has been found particularly useful with improved lightweight fabrics that would otherwise be susceptible to damage during welding processes.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2019Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: AIR CRUISERS COMPANY, LLCInventors: Thomas W.

Patent number: 10622752Abstract: An enclosure for an electronic device includes a housing having wall defining a cavity that is configured to receive an electronic assembly therein. The wall includes a plurality of housing steps formed in an interior surface. A cap includes a side surface extending around a perimeter of the cap with a plurality of cap steps formed in the side surface. The cap is positioned at an entrance to the cavity such that the plurality of housing steps align with the plurality of cap steps and welded in place. Flash from the weld is captured in a flash trap so that no weld flash is visible on the exterior surface of the enclosure.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2018Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Peter A.

Patent number: 10321460Abstract: An Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) access point receives and processes beamforming feedback data from User Equipment (UE) to form a beamforming feedback loop, transmits a beamformed radio signal to the UE, and determines if the beamforming feedback loop is experiencing a beamforming lag condition, and if so, switches to a closed-loop spatial multiplexing transmit protocol. The OFDM access point receives and processes closed-loop spatial multiplexing feedback data from the UE to form a closed-loop spatial multiplexing feedback loop, transmits a closed-loop spatial multiplexed radio signal to the UE, and determines if the closed-loop spatial multiplexing feedback loop is experiencing a spatial multiplexing lag condition, and if so, switches to an open-loop spatial multiplexing transmit protocol.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2015Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: Sprint Communications Company L.P.Inventors: Nagi A.

Publication number: 20180061256Abstract: An automated lesson generation learning system extracts text-based content from a digital media file. The system parses the extracted content to identify key words to use with prompts in the lesson. The system also may automatically generate a clip from the digital media file, so that the clip is the portion of the file in which the sentence is spoken. The system then automatically generates and outputs a lesson containing the prompt, and optionally the clip. The system may process a user's spoken response to the prompt to determine whether the user correctly pronounced the response.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2017Publication date: March 1, 2018Inventors: Michael E. Elchik, Dafyd Jones, Robert J. Pawlowski, JR., Jaime G. Carbonell, Jeremy Hesidenz, Sean Hile, Cathy Wilson

Patent number: 9762460Abstract: A system management tool provides a comprehensive summary of operational information of a storage system. For example, the system management tool presents a digital dashboard (“dashboard”) in a graphical user interface. The system management tool also presents, via the dashboard, views that correspond to different dimensions of the storage system. In response to expansion of a selected view, the system management tool can automatically collapse the other views into a non-expanded views or move the other views to visible areas remaining after expansion of the selected view. Thus, all of the views remain continuously visible via the dashboard despite the modification to the appearance of the selected view.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2015Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: NetApp, Inc.Inventors: Brian J. Pawlowski, Daniel Nghia Truong, Brian M. Hackworth, Jing Shi, Mrinmoy Majumdar

Publication number: 20170124093Abstract: A method and system for matching users of a network, such as a language learning network, employs user profile data to determine point match scores and/or compatibility match scores between users of the network. A point match score is a measure of strength for a single interest that two users share. A compatibility match score is an aggregate measure of similarity of multiple interests that two users share. When a first user asks the system to propose another user or users for interaction, the system uses the point match scores, compatibility match scores, or both to determine which additional users to recommend to the first user. The system may present the first user with a profile for each recommended user. The first user may select one of the recommended users and engage in interaction, such as language skills learning or practice, with that user via an interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2017Publication date: May 4, 2017Inventors: Jaime G. Carbonell, Michael E. Elchik, Jason Simmons, Adel Assaad, Robert J. Pawlowski, JR.

Patent number: 9563720Abstract: A method and system for matching users of a network, such as a language learning network, employs user profile data to determine point match scores and/or compatibility match scores between users of the network such as a social network. A point match score is a measure of strength for a single interest that two users share. A compatibility match score is an aggregate measure of similarity of multiple interests that two users share. When a first user asks the system to propose another user or users for interaction, the system uses the point match scores, compatibility match scores, or both to determine which additional users to recommend to the first user. The system may present the first user with a profile for each recommended user. The first user may select one of the recommended users and engage in interaction, such as language skills learning or practice, with that user via a text, audio and/or video interface.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2014Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: WESPEKE, INC.Inventors: Jaime G.

Patent number: 8287030Abstract: The disclosure comprises a pair of inflatable substantially inelastic lobes. A single lobe can be mounted on each of the rear trailer doors of a standard tractor-trailer unit. Each lobe can be inflated or deployed to provide an aerodynamic substantially planar contour extending rearwardly of the rear end of the vehicle. The aerodynamic shape of the lobes with stable and substantially planar external surfaces for air to pass over can be created by a series of internal cords and flag sets extending substantially horizontally and vertically in an array from one side of the lobe to the other side of each lobe. When the lobes are deflated, the trailer doors can be opened and latched to the side of the trailer in a conventional manner.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2008Date of Patent: October 16, 2012Assignee: Airodynamic Trailer Systems, LLCInventors: Patrick E. Ryan, J. Barry Ryan, James C. Ryan, William J. Ryan, Paul J. Pawlowski, Kenneth Chaloupek, Peter Huggins, Steven Fenske, Mohammad Kassemi

Publication number: 20090093794Abstract: A tube assembly includes a head component that may be weighted. The tube assembly is formed by welding a head tube to a main tube using a die heated by radiofrequency energy. A head lumen in fluid communication with the main tube and seal between the head lumen and a chamber of the head component are formed generally simultaneously when the head tube is welded to the main tube. At another step, weights or filler members are inserted into the chamber. A rounded tip of the tube assembly is formed by forcing a distal end of the head tube into a die that is heated by radiofrequency energy. Outlet openings in fluid communication with the head lumen are formed in the head tube using a punch device. An inlet adaptor of the tube assembly is welded to main tube using a die that is heated by radiofrequency energy.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2007Publication date: April 9, 2009Applicant: TYCO HEALTHCARE GROUP LPInventors: Daniel Holtz, Rafal J.
