Patent number: 11975737Abstract: This provides locations for mounting controllers and processing components that effectively employ the roof within a frame covered by a cowling so as to avoid exposure to weather and the environment. The roof is also employed to provide a sensor bar that extends across the vehicle width for a distance that does not interfere with normal vehicle function or generate potential overhangs, which can inadvertently engage objects or vehicles. The bar is sufficient in size and shape so as to allow mounting of a plurality of types of sensors on its top surface and/or recessed within front or rear edges. Such sensors can include visual light cameras for machine vison processes and/or LIDAR of various types and cooperage areas/fields of view—some of which can be recessed within a hollow region of the bar. Additional sensors can be mounted on the truck cab and/or chassis, including visual-light cameras and radars.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Outrider Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Gary Michael Seminara, James Christopher McKenna, Michael Patrick Cutter, Jonathan Record, Dale Dee Rowley, Keith Massie, Alexander Fink, Critt Coburn, Gary Mckinney, Lawrence S.

Publication number: 20230265436Abstract: The invention relates to therapeutic compositions for disorders associated with haploinsufficiency. The invention provides antisense oligonucleotides useful for treating neurodevelopmental disorders associated with mutations in the SYNGAP gene. The invention provides compositions that include synthetic antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) that promote expression of the SynGAP protein by one or any combination of (i) preventing one or more miRNAs from interfering with production of the SynGAP protein; (ii) binding to the 5?-UTR of the SYNGAP1 transcript and augmenting translation of the Syngap protein; and (iii) promoting RNAseH cleavage of antisense long non-coding RNAs that are anticorrelated with SYNGAP expression. When the composition is delivered to a patient with SYNGAP haploinsufficiency, the ASOs promote expression of the SynGAP protein.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2022Publication date: August 24, 2023Inventors: Graham T. Dempsey, Caitlin Lewarch, Matt Mccabe, James Fink, David Gerber, Luis Williams

Publication number: 20230212567Abstract: The invention relates to therapeutic compositions for disorders associated with haploinsufficiency. The invention provides antisense oligonucleotides useful for treating early-onset epileptic encephalopathy by promoting expression of Syntaxin-binding protein 1 (STXBP1). The invention provides compositions that include synthetic antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) that prevent certain miRNAs from interfering with production of the STXBP1 protein or bind to the 5?-UTR of the STXBP1 transcript and augment translation of the STXBP1 protein. When the composition is delivered to a patient with STXBP1 haploinsufficiency, the ASOs prevent miRNA from downregulating synthesis of STXBP1 protein.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2022Publication date: July 6, 2023Inventors: Graham T. Dempsey, Caitlin Lewarch, Matt Mccabe, James Fink, Luis Williams, David Gerber, Sudhir Agrawal

Publication number: 20220259601Abstract: The invention provides compositions useful to knock down overexpression of UBE3A and treat conditions associated with Dup15q syndrome. The compositions include antisense oligonucleotides, preferably short oligonucleotides that are complementary to, and hybridize to, UBE3A transcripts in vivo. The ASOs prevent or inhibit successful translation of UBE3A mRNA into protein. Specifically, preferred embodiments include anti-UBE3A gapmers—oligos that include a central DNA portion flanked by RNA wings. When the gapmer hybridizes to UBE3A pre-mRNA or mRNA, the duplex hybrid recruits RNaseH, which cleaves, or digests, the UBE3A pre-mRNA or mRNA, preventing expression of the UBE3A protein. Because the ASOs prevent expression of the UBE3A protein, treatment with a composition including ASOs of the disclosure may be effective to knock down overexpression of UBE3A.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2022Publication date: August 18, 2022Inventors: James Fink, Luis Williams, Caitlin Lewarch, David Gerber, Duncan Brown, Sudhir Agrawal, Graham T.

Patent number: 11394739Abstract: Techniques for configurable event-based compute instance security assessments are described. A security assessment service receives one or more configuration messages, sent on behalf of a user, indicating a request to perform a security assessment of one or more computing resources managed by a service provider system responsive to any of one or more events being determined to have occurred. The security assessment is to include attempting to identify security vulnerabilities of the one or more computing resources. The security assessment service determines that an event of the one or more events has occurred subsequent to event data being reported that is indicative of the event, and performs the security assessment of the one or more computing resources responsive to the determining that the event has occurred.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2020Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Vladimir Veselov, Adrian-Radu Grajdeanu, James Fink, Robert Eric Fitzgerald

Patent number: 8645406Abstract: A fallback query mechanism that serves as a way to recover from query conditions (or criteria) that break due to excessively large result sets relative to a preset threshold. The fallback query mechanism detects when a query has failed to execute because the query requested more items from the database (or list) than allowed by the threshold, rewrites the query to examine no more than the threshold number of most recently created items that match one of the indexed filter criteria specified in a view, and then applies one or more of the other filter criteria. The mechanism then reruns the query and displays the results to the user.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2008Date of Patent: February 4, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Lincoln DeMaris, Anthony Lawrence Jackson, Dustin Friesenhahn, Nathan James Fink

Patent number: 7854449Abstract: The present invention is a composite laminated sheet material suitable for structures such as containment sumps. The laminated material comprises a fabric-backed thermoplastic layer upon which thermoset plastic is applied to the fabric side. The thermoplastic layer is formed by contacting a layer of fabric onto a layer of molten thermoplastic such that the liquid thermoplastic permeates a portion of the fabric layer to form a mechanical bond with the fabric layer when the thermoplastic layer cools and hardens. Thermoset plastic, such as fibreglass resin, is sprayed onto the fabric side of the thermoplastic layer to allow the liquid resin to permeate the fabric layer. Once the resin cures and hardens, the fabric layer is mechanically bonded to the cured thermoset plastic layer to effectively bond the thermoplastic layer to the thermoset plastic layer.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2006Date of Patent: December 21, 2010Assignee: ZCL Composites Inc.Inventors: Richard Raymond Scragg, Ronald James Fink, Etienne Vezina
