Patent number: 11067718Abstract: Described are systems, methods, and apparatus that gathers environment condition data from different sensors at various locations within an area, aggregates the environment condition data to produce aggregated environment condition scores for the area and provides the aggregated environment condition scores to different locations within the area. While sensor data from a single sensor/device, such as a camera may provide low quality environment information, by collecting and aggregating information from multiple sensors and/or locations in the area, highly accurate aggregated environment condition scores for environment conditions may be realized. The aggregated environment condition scores may be provided to various locations within the area as representative of the environment condition at that point in time within the area, regardless of whether those locations have sensors.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2018Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Charles Edwin Ashton Brett, Aniruddha Basak, Zeya Chen, Sara Parker Hillenmeyer, Lizhen Peng, Yunfeng Jiang, William Evan Welbourne, Jay Patel, Sven Eberhardt

Patent number: 11062397Abstract: Systems and methods provide for an automated system for analyzing damage to insured property. An enhanced claims processing server may analyze damage associated with the insured item using photos/video transmitted to the server from a mobile device for analysis at the server in real time. Depending on network conditions, the mobile device may transfer images to the server in high definition or low definition. The server may send notifications to the mobile device to remind a user of the mobile device to capture and transfer images to the server. The server may analyze images to provide feedback to the insured user (e.g., insurance estimates).Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2019Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: Allstate Insurance CompanyInventors: Jay A.

Patent number: 10580407Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for utilizing global models to generate local models for electronic devices in an environment, and techniques for utilizing the global models and/or the local models to provide notifications that are based on anomalies detected within the environment. For instance, a remote system may receive an identifier associated with an electronic device and identify a global model using the identifier. The remote system may then receive data indicating state changes of the electronic device and use the data and the global model to generate a local model associated with the electronic device. Using the global model and/or local model, the remote system can identify anomalies associated with the electronic device and, in response to identifying an anomaly, notify the user. The remote system can further cause the electronic device to change states after receiving a request from the user.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2017Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Vinay Kotikalapudi Sriram, William Evan Welbourne, Jay Patel, Sven Eberhardt

Patent number: 10504190Abstract: Methods and apparatus provide for an automated system for analyzing damage to insured property. A server may receive images of a scene (e.g., a room, house, apartment, etc.) from a user at a mobile device. The server may analyze the images to create a holistic view of the scene. The server and/or mobile device may be able to generate dimensions of the scene and compare those dimensions to the dimensions of a damaged property at the scene to determine the extent of damage to the property. The server may also be able to detect gaps between images as it creates the holistic view of the scene.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2018Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: Allstate Insurance CompanyInventors: Jay A.

Patent number: 10324642Abstract: A peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) solid state drive (SSD) accelerator, having a PCIe card and separate a flash daughter-card, is provided. By including flash memory devices on a separate daughter-card, the flash memory devices are thermally decoupled from the hotter devices on the main PCIe providing additional thermal operating margins for the entire design. Furthermore, as flash memory devices are the most likely part of the subsystem to wear out over time due, including flash memory devices on a separate daughter-card allows the flash memory devices to become a field replaceable unit that can be easily replaced. EEPROMs may be included on the flash daughter-card to record the current wear state of the NAND flash devices. Knowing the wear history of the flash memory device allows the seller to replace the flash daughter-card of a customer with a daughter-card having a similar wear state.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2014Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: SANMINA CORPORATIONInventors: Paul Sweere, Jay Patel, Irfan Syed

Patent number: 9830188Abstract: This disclosure is directed to methods and systems for calculating statistical quantities of computational resources used by distributed data sources in a computing environment. In one aspect, a master node receives a query regarding use of computational resources used by distributed data sources of a computing environment. The data sources generate metric data that represents use of the computational resources and distribute the metric data to two or more worker nodes. The master node directs each worker node to generate worker-node data that represents the metric data received by each of the worker nodes and each worker node sends worker-node data to the master node. The master node receives the worker-node data and calculates a master-data structure based on the worker-node data, which may be used to estimate percentiles of the metric data in response to the query.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2014Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Junwei Li, Jay A.
