Publication number: 20240080352Abstract: A server operates between a customer and a subscriber to store data associated with the customer and data comprising media content associated with the subscriber. The server is configured to receive from the customer a request for content associated with products or services provided by the subscriber. The request is triggered by scanning a code by a user device operated by the customer. The request causes the server to retrieve customer information from data storage operated by the server. Based on the retrieved customer information and the request for content from the customer, the server retrieves personalized data associated with the subscriber. The personalized data comprises the media content associated with the subscriber that is tailored based on customer preferences stored in the server.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Andrea J. Hansen Sorensen, Ben Whitaker, John Waite, Adam Thomas, Nora Kitchen, Dallas James

Patent number: 11294001Abstract: An optical fiber-mounted field sensor for measuring an electric or magnetic field includes an optical fiber configured to receive light from a laser source, a polarizer, a polarization manipulator, electro-optical material or magneto-optical material adjacent to the polarization manipulator, and a high reflection coating. The polarizer is adjacent to an output of the fiber, while the polarization manipulator is adjacent to the polarizer and opposite of the optical fiber. The electro-optical material or magneto-optical material is adjacent to the polarization manipulator, and the high reflection coating is adjacent to the electro-optical material or magneto-optical material. An optical mainframe for sending and receiving optical beams to and from the optical fiber-mounted field sensor is also described.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2020Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: Advanced Fiber Sensors, Inc.Inventors: Kyoung Yang, John Whitaker

Patent number: 10951212Abstract: There is disclosed a self-timed processor. The self-timed processor includes a plurality of functional blocks comprising null convention logic. Each of the functional blocks outputs one or more multi-rail data values. A global acknowledge tree generates a global acknowledge signal provided to all of the plurality of functional blocks. The global acknowledge signal switches to a first state when all of the multi-rail data values output from the plurality of functional blocks are in respective valid states, and the global acknowledge signal switches to a second state when all of the multi-rail data values output from the plurality of functional blocks are in a null state.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2019Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: Eta Compute, Inc.Inventors: Chao Xu, Gopal Raghavan, Ben Wiley Melton, Vidura Manu Wijayasekara, Bryan Garnett Cope, David Cureton Baker, John Whitaker Havlicek

Publication number: 20160378920Abstract: A system and method for integrating clinical trial data housed in disparate systems. The integration system listens for a clinical trial event broadcasted by any one of the disparate systems. The clinical trial events are the same or similarly defined among the disparate systems. The integration system receives notice of a clinical trial event from one of the disparate systems and then sends a query to the disparate systems requesting metadata corresponding with the clinical trial event. The metadata is comprised of attributes of the clinical trial event and the values of such metadata may differ among the disparate systems. The responsive metadata is stored in an unstructured format and can be displayed in substantially real-time via a graphical user interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2016Publication date: December 29, 2016Inventors: Nate Thompson, Jonathan Shough, Sean Parris, John Whitaker, Tuananh Nguyen, Nataraj Prakash, John Randal Jones, David Rubenstein

Patent number: 9255372Abstract: A half-barrel intake screen is disclosed. The half-barrel intake screen comprises a frame including a first end, a second end, and a bottom coupled between the first end and the second end. Further, a contiguous screen segment couples between the first end and the second end of the frame. However, the screen segment couples to the frame independently of a concrete body having an outlet. In other words, the intake screen does not include a concrete body having an outlet.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2013Date of Patent: February 9, 2016Assignee: HENDRICK SCREEN COMPANYInventor: John Whitaker

Patent number: 9234294Abstract: A method of making property modulated composite materials includes depositing a first layer of material having a first microstructure/nanostructure on a substrate followed by depositing a second layer of material having a second microstructure/nanostructure that differs from the first layer. Multiple first and second layers can be deposited to form a composite material that includes a plurality of adjacent first and second layers. By controlling the microstructure/nanostructure of the layers, the material properties of the composite material formed by this method can be tailored for a specific use. The microstructures/nanostructures of the composite materials may be defined by one or more of grain size, grain boundary geometry, crystal orientation, and a defect density.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2009Date of Patent: January 12, 2016Assignee: Modumetal, Inc.Inventors: John Whitaker, Zhi Liang Bao

Publication number: 20070089993Abstract: An electrochemical printing system (100, 200) and method are disclosed having a printer head (130, 230) that expels a small jet of electrolyte (112) towards a conductive substrate (92) to facilitate electrodeposition or removal of material from the substrate. In an embodiment of the invention the printer head includes a plurality of individually addressable electrodes (220), each electrode having a channel therethrough and wherein the electrodes are much larger than the electrolyte jet outlet. The printer head includes means for inhibiting cross talk between electrodes. For example, the printer head may include a plenum (241) and a nonconductive cross-talk inhibition layer (245) upstream of the electrodes. A resolution defining layer (270) having small apertures (271) is provided at the distal end of the printer head.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2004Publication date: April 26, 2007Applicant: UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTONInventors: Daniel Schwartz, John Whitaker
