Patent number: 11941550Abstract: The present systems, devices, and methods relate to managing shared vehicle access. Vehicle access can be provided to a candidate user based on whether the user is included in a list of at least one user associated with a respective virtual key. Virtual keys can be created, or lists of at least one user can be updated to include the candidate user, to in turn provide vehicle access. Virtual keys can be stored in a plurality of virtual key slots, with vehicle access being provided based on a virtual key stored in an active key slot. Status reports can be sent to a reservation management device, for updating virtual keys or lists of at least one user.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2023Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Geotab Inc.Inventors: Thomas James Wallis, Benjamin John Gordon Gaffney

Publication number: 20240085374Abstract: A photoionization sensor assembly includes a housing defining a chamber with a first end and an opposing second end and being permeable to the analyte gas and non-analyte gases. A radiation source is structured to emit photons into the chamber. A first, second and third electrode are positioned in the chamber. The photons ionize the analyte gas, are insufficient to ionize the non-analyte gases, and causing ejection of photoelectrons from the third electrode. A controller is structured to receive a measurement of a total pressure and electrically bias the electrodes to collect the photoelectrons on the first and second electrodes in a ratio dependent on the total pressure. The controller is structured to determine the ratio of photoelectrons that are collected on the first and second electrodes at the total pressure and determine an amount of electrical current due to ionization by correcting the measured current using the determined ratio.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2022Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Shawn M. Briglin, Michael F. Vollero, John Gordon Wiley

Patent number: 11919757Abstract: The present invention discloses a scissor jack comprising four arms hingedly arranged to provide two opposite elbows between a base and a load support. A pair of trunnions are provided with an outer trunnion at one outer elbow and a threaded trunnion at another outer elbow opposite to the one outer elbow connected through a threaded shaft. The inner third trunnion is connected to two rods to form a yoke. The yoke is configured to slideably pass through the outer trunnion of the one outer elbow to extend beyond the one outer elbow. A pair of levers are provided which are configured to be secured to the inner third trunnion. The scissor jack further comprises springs or any other retaining mechanism attached to a pair of levers, to ensure that the pair of levers return to their original location or position when the scissor jack is lowered.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2019Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Inventor: Derek John Gordon

Publication number: 20240047178Abstract: A plasma generation device for generating a plasma comprises a support having a first side and an opposing second side. The support is comprised of a ceramic matrix and a split-ring conductor is embedded in the ceramic matrix. A hermetically sealed via extends from the split-ring conductor to the second side of the support and connects to an electrical supply. A ground plane is formed on the second side of the support. A plasma is generated proximate to the first side of the support, and the support seals to a wall of the chamber such that the first side is exposed to the one or more gases inside the chamber and the second side is isolated from the plasma and the one or more gases inside of the chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2021Publication date: February 8, 2024Applicant: INFICON, Inc.Inventors: Shawn Briglin, Michael Vollero, John Gordon Wiley, Mario Weder

Patent number: 11856883Abstract: A vegetative health mapping system which creates two- or three-dimensional maps and associates moisture content, soil density, ambient light, surface temperature, and/or additional indications of vegetative health with the map. Moisture content is inferred using radar return signals of near-field and/or far-field radar. By tuning various parameters of the one or more radar (e.g. frequency, focus, power), additional data may be associated with the map from subterranean features (such as rocks, soil density, sprinklers, etc.). Additional sensors (camera(s), lidar, IMU, GPS, etc.) may be fused with radar returns to generate maps having associated moisture content, surface temperature, ambient light levels, additional indications of vegetative health (as may be determined by machine learned algorithms), etc. Such vegetative health maps may be provided to a user who, in turn, may indicate additional areas for the vegetative health device to scan or otherwise used to recommend and/or perform treatments.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2021Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Scythe Robotics, Inc.Inventors: John Gordon Morrison, Davis Thorp Foster, Isaac Heath Roberts

Publication number: 20230380340Abstract: Systems and techniques for detecting a difference in orientation between a lawn mower and a surface on which the mower is mowing, or between portions of such surface, based on one or more of sensor data or map data are discussed. The difference in orientation may then be used to control the lawn mower by, for example, raising a deck height or idling a blade speed, though other actuations are contemplated. In some examples, an amount the deck height is raised may be based on the difference in orientation. Based on a subsequent difference detected being at or below a threshold difference, the mower may return to previous operating conditions including, but not limited to, returning a blade speed to a previous blade speed and/or returning the deck height to a previous deck height, among other controls. Such techniques may prevent undercutting turf due to such differences.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventors: Davis Thorp Foster, Robert Johnstone McCutcheon, IV, John Gordon Morrison, Isaac Heath Roberts

Publication number: 20230373438Abstract: To utilize a shared vehicle, a user can request access to the vehicle, which results in the generation of a virtual key. The virtual key is provided to a plurality of different devices, such as a vehicle device at the vehicle, and a user device in the possession of the user. Access to the vehicle can be granted and maintained by verification of the virtual key against data from an identification device at the vehicle, or from the user device. In this way, multiple options for vehicle access are available to the user, which increases flexibility and user-friendliness.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2023Publication date: November 23, 2023Inventors: Benjamin John Gordon Gaffney, Thomas James Wallis

Publication number: 20230367610Abstract: Various techniques are provided to implement fast boot for programmable logic devices (PLDs). In one example, a method includes performing a read operation on a non-volatile memory to obtain a first value. The method further includes comparing the value to a predetermined value to obtain a comparison result. The method further includes determining whether a boot image stored on the non-volatile memory is to be read based at least on the first comparison result. The method further includes performing, based on the determining, a read operation on the boot image to obtain data associated with booting of a device. The method further includes booting the device based at least on the data.
