Patent number: 11969788Abstract: A method of manufacturing an antenna assembly includes additively manufacturing an element that is a monolithic structure and that includes (i) a ground plane including one or more aperture slots, (ii) a patch antenna above the ground plane, and (iii) a sacrificial support feature to support the patch antenna above the ground plane. The method further includes applying a dielectric material between the ground plane and the patch antenna. In an example, applying the dielectric material between the ground plane and the patch antenna includes providing a dielectric foam between the ground plane and the patch antenna, where the dielectric foam at least in part supports the patch antenna above the ground plane. The method further includes removing at least a section of the sacrificial support feature, such that any remnant of the support feature does not physically couple the ground plane to the patch antenna.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2023Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc.Inventors: Jean L.

Patent number: 11954565Abstract: A technology is described for automating deployment of a machine learning model. An example method may include receiving, via a graphical user interface, credentials for connecting to a data store containing a plurality of datasets and connecting to the data store using the credentials. A selection of a target metric to predict using the machine learning model can be received, via the graphical user interface, and datasets included in the plurality of datasets that correlate to the target metric can be identified by analyzing the datasets to identify an association between the target metric and data contained within the datasets. The datasets can be input to the machine learning model to train the machine learning model to generate predictions of the target metric, and the machine learning model can be deployed to computing resources in a service provider environment to generate predictions associated with the target metric.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2019Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: QLIKTECH INTERNATIONAL ABInventors: Killian B.

Publication number: 20230382628Abstract: A paint container for use with a reusable dispensing apparatus, and the reusable dispensing apparatus are provided to dispense paint under pressure. The paint container includes a housing defining an interior space that is devoid of an internal valve, and a combination comprising a propellant combined with paint within the interior space. A container cap is installed on the housing to enclose the propellant combined with the paint within the interior space at an elevated pressure, and defines a channel that cooperates with a portion of the housing. A compressible gasket is disposed within the channel and compressed between the container cap and the portion of the housing to form a seal that interferes with an escape of the propellant combined with the paint between the container cap and the housing. A releasable fastener engages releasably couples the reusable dispensing apparatus to the container cap.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventors: James J.

Publication number: 20230132918Abstract: A fluid storage system includes a container defining an interior space that lacks an internal valve. A product and a propellant are stored under pressure within the interior space. A container cap includes a membrane that encloses a space defined by a coupling element, which includes a releasable fastener that releasably couples a fluid dispensing apparatus to the container. The container cap also includes a dip tube comprising a proximate end that extends at least partially into the space defined by the coupling element, and a distal end that protrudes from the space in a direction generally away from the container cap, into the interior space defined by the container. The dip tube defines an interior passage extending between the proximate end and the distal end through which the product is to be expelled from the container by the propellant.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2021Publication date: May 4, 2023Inventors: Richard D. Hudson, James J. Johnson, Thomas W. Williams

Patent number: 11600124Abstract: In one aspect, a server computer is configured to facilitate operation of a movable barrier operator using voice commands. The server computer includes a processor configured to receive a request for a first rolling voice identifier from a communication apparatus in response to receipt of a voice command of a user requesting a state change of a movable barrier. The processor is configured to send the first rolling voice identifier to the communication apparatus causing the communication apparatus to provide a first physical stimulus to the user based at least in part on the first rolling voice identifier and user account information. The processor is configured to receive a communication indicative of a user voice response to the first physical stimulus and determine whether to instruct the movable barrier operator to change a state of the movable barrier based on the user voice response to the first physical stimulus.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2021Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: The Chamberlain Group LLCInventors: Casparus Cate, James J.

Publication number: 20210233336Abstract: The systems and methods provided herein use a rolling voice identifier in a multi-factor authentication system to avoid the security problems present in prior voice activated control systems. By implementing a rolling voice identifier in an access control platform, users may no longer need to be concerned with being overheard or recorded when providing voice authentication commands to an access control platform because the rolling voice identifier that the user will be prompted to speak will be specific to the particular instance of control of an access control platform. An access control platform is a platform that controls operation of a movable barrier by, for example, controlling the state of a movable barrier using a remote control. An access control platform may cause a movable barrier to become opened, closed, locked, or unlocked to permit or prevent access to a physical space by a physical object.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2021Publication date: July 29, 2021Inventors: Casparus Cate, James J.
