Patent number: 11920512Abstract: A hydrogen fueled powerplant including an internal combustion engine that drives a motor-generator, and has a two-stage turbocharger, for an aircraft. A control system controls the operation of the motor-generator to maintain the engine at a speed selected based on controlling the engine equivalence ratio. The control system controls an afterburner, an intercooler and an aftercooler to maximize powerplant efficiency. The afterburner also adds power to the turbochargers during high-altitude restarts. The turbochargers also include motor-generators that extract excess power from the exhaust.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Aero Vironment, Inc.Inventors: Alexander Nelson Brooks, James Gallagher Daley

Publication number: 20240007528Abstract: Implementations relate to automatic sharing of images with designated users over a communication network. In some implementations, a method includes causing display of images in a user interface on a first device, each of the images depicting a different person. The images are obtained from a library of images associated with a first user. A selection of a particular image of the images is received based on user input, and a person identifier is determined indicating a particular person depicted in the selected image. The person identifier is designated as a person sharing criterion. A first image not included in the images is obtained and programmatically analyzed to determine that the first image depicts a person that matches the person sharing criterion, and an access permission is updated to grant access to the first image to a second user of a second device over a communication network.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Frank DACHILLE, Anil SABHARWAL, Kedar KANITKAR, James GALLAGHER, Timothy NOVIKOFF, David LIEB

Publication number: 20230028553Abstract: In an industrial control system (ICS), latent vectors are generated to represent identity or behaviors of host devices coupled to the ICS. A computing system captures communications transmitted by a host device across a network associated with the ICS. A set of values are extracted from one or more respective fields in the communication, then applied to a trained neural network. Values of a first set of fields are applied at an input layer of the trained neural network, while values of a second set of fields are applied at an output layer of the neural network. Based on the application of the neural network to the values extracted from the communication, the computing system generates a latent vector.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2022Publication date: January 26, 2023Inventors: Brian Michael Kelley, Indrasis Chakraborty, Brian James Gallagher, Daniel Matthew Merl

Patent number: 11146520Abstract: Implementations relate to sharing images and image albums over a communication network. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method includes determining that a shared album data structure is accessible by a device and includes references to album images. The device determines one or more suggested images from a collection of stored images associated with a user, based on determining sharing scores for the stored images. The sharing scores are based on comparing one or more characteristics of the stored images to one or more corresponding characteristics of the album images. The method includes causing display of the one or more suggested images by the device, receiving a selection of at least one selected image of the suggested images based on received user input, and causing an update of the shared album data structure with the at least one selected image to be accessible over a communication network by recipient users.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2019Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: Google LLCInventors: David Lieb, James Gallagher, Kedar Jayant Kanitkar, Teresa Ko, Loren Puchalla Fiore, Jason Chang, Nan Wang, Jingyu Cui, Shengyang Dai
