Patent number: 11940558Abstract: Described herein are examples of evaluating electromagnetic energy reflection data of security scans. In embodiments, a method to evaluate electromagnetic energy reflection data determines whether electronic information of a security scan contains an anomaly, and identifies an anomaly location in the electronic information corresponding to the anomaly. The method determines a subset of the electronic information corresponding to the anomaly location, determines anomaly attributes using the subset of the electronic information, and evaluates the anomaly attributes using a database of reference items by comparing anomaly attributes to respective reference characteristics of reference items or identity information. When a comparison meets the respective match criterion for the given reference item, the method assigns to the anomaly the respective identifier as an anomaly identifier.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: The Government of the United States of America, represented by the Secretary of Homeland SecurityInventors: Melissa Conley, John Fortune, Michael Chandarlis, William Garrett, Brian Lewis

Publication number: 20240080004Abstract: Described are circuits and techniques to increase the efficiency of radio-frequency (rf) amplifiers including rf power amplifiers (PAs) through “supply modulation” (also referred to as “drain modulation” or “collector modulation”), in which supply voltages provided to rf amplifiers is adjusted dynamically (“modulated”) over time depending upon the rf signal being synthesized. For the largest efficiency improvements, a supply voltage can be adjusted among discrete voltage levels or continuously on a short time scale. The supply voltages (or voltage levels) provided to an rf amplifier may also be adapted to accommodate longer-term changes in desired rf envelope such as associated with adapting transmitter output strength to minimize errors in data transfer, for rf “traffic” variations.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicant: Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: James Garrett, Sri Harsh Pakala, Brendan Metzner, Ivan Duzevik, David J.

Publication number: 20220254114Abstract: A shared reality system is described here that defines a platform-agnostic format for three-dimensional objects for use with AR and VR and projects these objects into VR and AR worlds that can be seen by multiple users at the same time. Each user can see the same object and the object may contain shared information that an operator of the system wants everyone to see, such as scores, advertisements, offers, or status information. Rather than having separate individual experiences, each user sees the same virtual objects as if they were present in the real world. The format used for displaying the AR and VR content is compatible with a wide variety of device types, so that content creators can focus on their content and ignore platform differences. Thus, the shared reality system makes it easy for content creators to create shared reality experiences across a wide variety of devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2022Publication date: August 11, 2022Inventors: John Garrett Frederick, Bhavin Tarunbhai Machchhar, Sanjay Gordhanbhai Changani

Patent number: 10193770Abstract: Data files are supplied to a plurality of requesting stations (102 to 106) by accessing serving devices (109 to 116). A plurality of requests are received for one or more data files at a traffic management system (101) from requesting stations via an external network (107). A specific server is selected at the traffic management system and a request is issued to the selected server over a local network for the requested file. The requested file is accepted at the traffic management system from the selected server over the local network and the requested file is sent from the traffic management system to the requesting station over external network. The response of selected servers is monitored (302) when responding to issued requests thereby generating monitored responses. The monitored responses are compared (303) against an operational criterion to identify sub-standard operations.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2009Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignee: PULSE SECURE, LLCInventors: Crispin Edward Harold Flowerday, Owen John Garrett, Ben Ross Mansell, Julian Trowan John Midgley

Patent number: 9540843Abstract: A rotatable lock pin that inhibits forced entry into a container through a closure by securing the lock pin to the container. A lock pin has a pin cylinder with a curvature of rotation that engages with a rotation facilitator. The path of the curvature of rotation and the engagement of the rotation facilitator therewith causes the lock pin to rotate in a pre-determined fashion, so that structures on the lock pin can engage or attach to some part of the container to secure the position of the lock pin and hold the closure door in place. Lock pins of the subject invention utilized with safes can inhibit forced entry through the door by side punching or prying of the door.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2015Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: SHADE RIVER OUTFITTERS, INC.Inventor: Nicholas John Garrett

Patent number: 9538856Abstract: A multi-needle quilting machine is provided with a tape or ribbon guide that is operated by a method by which a narrow strip is fed against a facing layer of a wide multi-layered material as it is fed into the quilting machine. In the quilting machine, series of chain stitches are sewn, at least one of which joins the tape and layers of the multi-layered material together with the same thread in a quilting process, thereby applying the tape to the quilted product in a single quilting operation without the need for a post-quilting tape application step. The tape may form a decorative strip or have unsewn sections that serve as handles for a mattress when the quilted product is formed into a mattress cover.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2015Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: L&P Property Management CompanyInventors: Terrance L.
