Patent number: 12246734Abstract: Techniques are discussed herein for detecting and managing faults occurring within various vehicle systems, to enable the vehicle to respond safely and appropriately to the faults. In examples, a constraint generator may receive sensor data associated with the operation of a vehicle in an environment. The constraint generator may perturb the sensor data to mimic particular sensor faults, and execute simulations to determine performance degradations of the vehicle systems associated with the particular sensor faults. Based on the performance degradations associated with sensor faults, the constraint generator may determine the appropriate constraints with limitations on the operation of the vehicle, and communicate the constraint parameters to the appropriate vehicle systems accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2023Date of Patent: March 11, 2025Assignee: Zoox, Inc.Inventors: Timothy Henry Jung, Janakan Chandrakumar, Collin MacGregor, Joshua Paul Munic, Matthew Ambrose Romlewski, Aaron Rosekind, Sandra Ruiz, Nehemia Girma Terefe, Nathaniel John Villaume, Darrin Sammons Willis, He Yi

Patent number: 12238177Abstract: The present disclosure provides an electronic inspection method and system comprising user endpoints, end-link servers belonging to a tenant, and a mid-link server. The mid-link server connects the user endpoints with an end-link server through tunnels. The mid-link server models an interaction in the tunnels using a model of an application layer. The mid-link server receives communication from the user endpoints through the tunnels, differentiates between a data object, and stores the data object based on a plurality of policies and context developed. The mid-link analyzes the model and the data object in the tunnels and determines the context according to a policy. The mid-link server performs the electronic inspection between a plurality of end-link servers and a plurality of user endpoints by inspecting the data object from the plurality of tunnels.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2024Date of Patent: February 25, 2025Assignee: Netskope, Inc.Inventors: James S. Robinson, Vadon Willis, John Khotsyphom

Patent number: 11404228Abstract: An electrical switch responds to acoustic inputs. A microphone integrated into the electrical switch generates electrical signals in response to the acoustic inputs. A network interface integrated into the electrical switch provides addressable communication with controllers, computers, and other networked devices. The electrical switch may thus be installed or retrofitted into the electrical wiring of all homes and businesses. Users may thus speak voice commands, which are received by the electrical switch and sent for voice control of appliances and other automation tasks.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2020Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventor: John Willis

Patent number: 10954061Abstract: A card cassette device of a card dispensing apparatus ensures elimination of measures for illegally opening a card outlet from the outside in a non-mounted state and makes it possible to open the card outlet according to the necessity in a mounted state, raising security level. A movable shutter for opening and closing a card outlet has a stopper member engaging hole and a lock member engaging hole. A stopper member is engaged with the stopper member engaging hole by a stopper member moving device, thereby fixing the shutter in its closed state in the non-mounted state. A lock member is engaged with the lock member engaging hole by a lock member moving device, thereby canceling the closed state of the shutter and locking the shutter in its open state in the mounted state.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2018Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: ASAHI SEIKO CO., LTD.Inventors: Alex Massey, Marcus John Willis

Patent number: 10239786Abstract: The invention relates to geopolymer compositions, geopolymers and methods for their production and use. The geopolymers may be used as aggregates, and those aggregates may be used in concrete manufacture. The geopolymer composition comprises fly ash or a fly ash substitute, an aluminum phyllosilicate, an alkaline component and water, wherein the water is present at an amount of about 6% to about 10% by weight of the composition. The geopolymers are made by forming a geopolymer composition as described above, compacting the mixture by applying pressure of about 50 to about 90 kgf/cm2; and curing the compacted mixture to form the geopolymer.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2015Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: POLYAGG PTY LTDInventor: Nicholas John Willis
