Patent number: 11874807Abstract: A cloud-native global file system is augmented to include a file exporter (or, more generally, a file export tool) that facilitates an enterprise customer's use of a cloud-native tool that would otherwise be unable to operate against the global file system's underlying file system representation. In a typical use case, the file exporter is configured to extract in a native object format and to an unencrypted target (e.g., an S3 bucket, an Azure storage account, and the like) all or a portion of a volume's data from the underlying file system representation. In this manner, the exporter creates a copy of the data set that the enterprise user can then leverage against the desired cloud-native tool or other cloud services that are not under the management or control of the global file system service provider.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2022Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: Nasuni CorporationInventors: Russell Andrew Neufeld, Max Picard Perry, John Adam Carter

Publication number: 20230419726Abstract: An interactive portrait system includes a camera configured to capture imagery of an environment and a controller. The controller is configured to analyze the imagery to identify a guest in the environment, instruct an output device to provide an initial output to attempt to interact with the guest, and analyze the imagery to identify a behavior of the guest during the initial output, after the initial output, or both. The controller is also configured to evaluate the behavior of the guest using one or more artificial intelligence algorithms to determine whether the guest responded to the initial output. The controller is further configured to, in response to determining that the guest responded to the initial output, instruct the output device to provide an additional output to continue to attempt to interact with the guest.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Robert Michael Jordan, Anthony Melo, Angelo Pagliuca, Brandon David Burmette, John Adams, Jacob David Allinson, Eric To Chan, Mark James Traynor

Publication number: 20230370365Abstract: A first router generates session establishment metrics for use in network path selection. For example, a plurality of routers connect a client device to a network service instance hosted by a server. A first router is connected to the network service instance via first and second paths. The first router receives session performance requirements for a session between the client device and the network service instance. The first router forwards, along the first path, network traffic for the session by modifying a first packet of the session to include a session identifier for the session. The first router determines that session establishment metrics for the session do not satisfy the session performance requirements. In response, the first router forwards, along the second path, the network traffic for the session by modifying a second packet of the session to include the session identifier for the session.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2023Publication date: November 16, 2023Inventors: Michael Baj, Patrick J.

Patent number: 11738382Abstract: The principles of the present invention further provide both a shaped metal container and its preforms that exhibit a rounded grain structure characteristic created by an annealing process and a method for making a shaped metal container. The process of making said metal container results in a quicker process time and uses less metals (at least 10% metal weight savings), thus allowing for a decrease in the costs of making such shaped metal containers. A shaped metal container may include work hardened rolled sheet-metal defining a sidewall, an opening, and a base, where at least one section along the sidewall has grains with an average aspect ratio less than about 4 to 1.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2020Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignees: The Coca-Cola Company, Ardagh MP Group Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Philippe Niec, Marc Lemiale, John Adams, Yuping Lin

Patent number: 11724345Abstract: A system and method for drilling a hole in a vehicle structure and installing a fastener in the hole. A drill plate having openings and associated machine-readable elements is positioned on the structure. A drill gun is positioned in a particular opening and reads hole information from the associated element, and a computer determines whether the drill gun is properly set-up to drill the hole. A fastener insertion gun is positioned in the particular opening and reads fastener information from the element, and the computer determines whether the hole has been drilled and, if so, whether the fastener insertion gun is properly set-up to insert the fastener. A fastener delivery subsystem stores, tracks, and delivers fasteners to the fastener insertion gun. A system computer monitors the drilling of every hole, the insertion of every fastener, and the overall operation of the fastener delivery subsystem.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2022Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: Spirit AeroSystems, Inc.Inventors: Matthew R.

Patent number: 11720223Abstract: A wearable display system can automatically recognize a physical remote or a device that the remote serves using computer vision techniques. The wearable system can generate a virtual remote with a virtual control panel viewable and interactable by user of the wearable system. The virtual remote can emulate the functionality of the physical remote. The user can select a virtual remote for interaction, for example, by looking or pointing at the parent device or its remote control, or by selecting from a menu of known devices. The virtual remote may include a virtual button, which is associated with a volume in the physical space. The wearable system can detect that a virtual button is actuated by determining whether a portion of the user's body (e.g., the user's finger) has penetrated the volume associated with the virtual button.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2021Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: MAGIC LEAP, INC.Inventors: Adrian Kaehler, John Adam Croston

Publication number: 20230221453Abstract: Embodiments provide for a method that utilizes the azimuthally spaced receivers of a sonic logging tool. Signals from monopole and dipole sources are reflected from the geologic interfaces and recorded by arrays of receivers of the same tool. For the incident P-waves from the monopole source, phase arrival times for the azimuthal receivers are compensated for stacking using properties of wave propagation in the borehole, and for the incident SH-waves from the dipole source, signs of waveforms for the receivers are changed for specified azimuths.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2021Publication date: July 13, 2023Inventors: Nobuyasu Hirabayashi, Yevgeniy Karpekin, Nicholas Norman Bennett, John Adam Donald, Asbjoern Lund Johansen, Takeshi Endo

Patent number: 11591139Abstract: A lid for an insulated container comprises a flexible gasket configured to facilitate a seal between the lid and an inner wall of the insulated container, and further configured to expand into an interior compartment of the insulated container responsive to a vacuum developing in the interior compartment. A diaphragm chamber is situated opposite the flexible gasket from the interior compartment when the lid is fully engaged with the insulated container. One or more air channels couple the diaphragm chamber to an exterior of the lid. The development of a vacuum in the interior compartment of the insulated container draws a force on the flexible gasket, thereby reducing pressure in the diaphragm chamber. The negative pressure in diaphragm chamber is back-filled with external air, which enters the lid via the air channels. The lid may then be removed without excessive vacuum forces.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2020Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: KLEAN KANTEEN, INC.Inventors: Richard John Adams, Jr., Joshua James Birkle, James M. Osgood

Patent number: 11527064Abstract: 2D and 3D data of a scene are linked by associating points in the 3D data with corresponding points in multiple different 2D images within the 2D data. Labels assigned to points in either data can be propagated to the other data. Labels propagated to a point in the 3D data are aggregated, and the labels ranked highest are kept and propagated back to the 2D images. 3D data including labels produced in this manner allow partially obscured objects in certain views to be more accurately identified. Thus, an object can be manipulated in all 2D views of the 2D data in which the object is at least partially visible, in order to digitally remove, alter, or replace it.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2021Date of Patent: December 13, 2022Assignee: REscan, Inc.Inventors: John Adam Croston, Teja Yerramsetty, Botond Bognar, Donald L Alvarez
