James Humble has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 12100515
    Abstract: Techniques that facilitate altering a targeted brain therapeutic are provided. In one example, a system determines parameter data associated with a circuit model of a biological brain. The system also simulates the circuit model based on the parameter data to generate treatment data associated with the biological brain.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 11, 2019
    Date of Patent: September 24, 2024
    Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION
    Inventors: James Humble, James R. Kozloski
  • Patent number: 11499627
    Abstract: Techniques related to vehicle operation. A processor determines that at least one condition is met related to a vehicle. In response to the at least one condition being met, the processor generates a natural language output having a query. The processor determines that an affirmative response to the query is received and causes a downshift of a transmission of the vehicle in response to the affirmative response.

  • Patent number: 11313426
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a disc brake caliper body comprising a mounting side bracket and a non-mounting side bracket extending along a circumferential direction of the body, each bracket being configured to hold at least one brake pad. In order to provide improved cooling efficiency while maintaining the required stability of the brake caliper, the caliper body further comprises at least one cooling duct formed by additive manufacturing, at least one cooling duct being an integral part of the caliper body.

  • Patent number: 11133026
    Abstract: A natural language processing system for analyzing speech includes a computer processing device configured to receive recorded speech of a person. The computer processing device constructs a baseline speech model of the person, the baseline speech model of the person including a property of speech based on a personal attribute of the person, compares current recorded speech of the person to the baseline speech model of the person to determine a deviation of the property of speech therebetween, and determines if the deviation of the property of speech meets a threshold of the property of speech that is defined for a disorder.

  • Patent number: 11093904
    Abstract: A time-management planning method, system, and computer program product, includes determining at least one of a cognitive state and a contextual state of a user, compiling a specification of a cognitive goal associated with accomplishing a scheduled task for a period of time, and performing a planning action, via a time management software platform, to adjust the scheduled task based on the specification of the cognitive goal and the at least one of the cognitive state and the contextual state of the user.

  • Patent number: 10776480
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, computer program product, and system are provided. The method includes generating, by a password management system using a set of Hardware Random Number Generators (HRNGs), at least one salt based on statistics of a set of random numbers with given distributions generated by the set of HRNGs. The method further includes forming, by a processor, a hashed password based on the at least one salt.
