Patent number: 11971782Abstract: Systems and methods for a controller including controller memory and logic are presented herein. The logic is configured to control access to a persistent storage media and, in response to one or more commands, the logic determines an intermediate parity value based on a first parity calculation, and using the intermediate parity value determines a final parity value based on the intermediate parity value and a second parity calculation. Determining the intermediate parity value includes sending a uni-directional command to read an old data value from an address indicated in the uni-directional command, perform an exclusive-or operation on the old data value and a new data value indicated in the uni-directional command to determine the intermediate parity value and store, in the persistent storage media, the intermediate parity value at a location associated to an index indicated in the uni-directional command.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2020Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: SK Hynix NAND Product Solutions Corp.Inventors: Sanjeev Trika, Gregory Tucker, James Harris, Jonathan Hughes, Piotr Wysocki, Gang Cao, Qihua Dai, Benjamin Walker, Ziye Yang, Xiaodong Liu, Changpeng Liu, Jackson Ellis

Patent number: 11928738Abstract: Systems and methods relating to improving the experience of gig-economy workers are disclosed, with particular reference to gig-economy work involving vehicle use. During or after performance of gig-economy work, data automatically collected may be used to generate and present recommendations or education points to gig-economy workers. Such recommendations may include targeted alerts to notify gig-economy workers of high-demand situations or to coordinate between gig-economy workers and gig-economy customers. Alerts may be generated based upon current excess demand for gig-economy services, as well as gig-economy worker availability and preferences. For example, alerts may be generated in response to detecting emergency conditions in an area in order to mobilize a large number of gig-economy transportation service providers.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANYInventors: Hannah Estes, Audrey Schwartz, Michael DiBenedetto, James P.

Patent number: 11872765Abstract: An example of an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes an input device to receive design data. The design data includes information about a geometry and load characteristics of an object. The apparatus further includes a structural design engine to generate print data to print the object on a three-dimensional printer based on the design data. The apparatus also includes a fluid design engine to generate fluidic data. The fluidic data represents a fluid channel within the object. In addition, the apparatus includes an output engine to generate an output file based on the print data and the fluidic data.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2019Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: David James Tucker, David Woodlock, Jun Zeng, Michelle Lynn Bockman

Patent number: 11789770Abstract: A system for creating surrogate models is provided. The system includes a user computing device including a user interface, a database, and a processor. The processor is configured to receive, from the user computing device, a workflow request, determine at least one application in the database required to complete the workflow request, retrieve, from the database, the at least one application and meta-data associated with the at least one application, and determine that a user has proper tenancies to use the at least one application. The processor is further configured to execute, using the at least one application on an external computing device, a workflow associated with the workflow request based at least in part on the meta-data, generate, based on execution of the workflow request, new meta-data associated with the at least one application, and transmit the new meta-data to the database.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2020Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: James Albert Tallman, Eric James Tucker, Vincent Michael Russo, Andrew Louis Gallo, Jr., Richard Brownell Arthur, Jeffrey Michael Iannotti, Peter Matthew Schmid, Adam Franklin Stevenson, David Charles Harry Ward, Douglas Evan King
