Publication number: 20240096199Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for facilitating disabling an alarm in response to particular types of activity-indicative data. More specifically, activity-indicative data (e.g., measurements obtained by an electronic device) can be detected prior to a preset alarm time. Upon determining, based on the activity-indicative data, that a wakefulness condition is satisfied, the alarm can be disabled such that the alarm stimuli is not to be presented at the preset alarm time.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Bharath Narasimha Rao, Kevin Will Chen, Reed E. Olsen, Umamahesh Srinivas, Kevin M. Lynch, John-Peter E. Cafaro

Publication number: 20240070331Abstract: Systems, methods, and software for filtering components, such as hardware components, compatible with computer-modeled structures are presented. A compatible components system provides selection methods that present components compatible with computer-aided design (CAD) models designed in computer modeling software. The system executes methods designed to filter components made available to designers using attribute information of the features and attribute information of the components. Designers may interact with the compatibility methods numerous times, narrowing components through a series or number of filtering steps until a desired compatible component is easily selected. The computer modeling software may include graphical user interfaces for selecting component source locations, filtering types of components presented by the system, and adding components to CAD models.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: Desprez, LLCInventors: James L. Jacobs, II, John E. Cronin, Justin R. Kunz, Steven M. Lynch

Patent number: 10426381Abstract: Switchable grounded terminal loads are built into, or otherwise coupled to, connectors on motherboards and control devices. The terminal loads are coupled to the bus termination at the connector when the connector is “stuffed” (connected to a mating connector). The switchable grounded terminal loads replace dummy connectors in preventing empty “unstuffed” connectors from increasing error risks on active channels.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2017Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: INTEL CORPORATIONInventors: Yunhui Chu, Charles C. Phares, John M. Lynch
