Publication number: 20240029563Abstract: Disclosed is a parking sensor device for determining occupancy of a parking space. The parking sensor device has a magnetometer sensor configured to detect a magnetic field, and a radar sensor configured to perform at least one radar scan to detect presence of an object. In accordance with an embodiment of the disclosure, the parking sensor device has control circuitry configured to determine occupancy of the parking space based on the magnetic field and the at least one radar scan. Utilizing this particular combination of sensor input can help to improve accuracy and reliability of determining occupancy of the parking space, especially when compared to existing approaches that utilize a single sensor such as a magnetometer sensor. The parking sensor device also has an output for conveying occupancy of the parking space.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Jeff CLEMMER, Chris SNYDER, Brandon DAVIES, Jonathan SWOBODA

Publication number: 20220417224Abstract: Disclosed is a method for execution by a computing device. The method involves establishing a communication channel for communicating with a client device using link-layer encryption, and attempting to authenticate the client device using authentication-layer encryption on top of the link-layer encryption. The method also involves receiving a command from the client device over the communication channel, and if the client device has been authenticated, executing the command. Notably, the link-layer encryption offers some degree of security because network traffic over the communication channel is encrypted, but does not offer adequate protection from all cyber attacks. However, the authentication-layer encryption adds an additional layer of security on top of the link-layer encryption, which can help to avoid or mitigate cyber attacks.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2022Publication date: December 29, 2022Inventors: Jonathan SWOBODA, Alan SUNG, Won HUH

Patent number: 8689204Abstract: There are described tools and methodologies for building Read Only Memory (ROM) mask software images and the corresponding data/code patching software images. One method is for creating ROM mask content having patch references included therein whereby patch reference errors are detected and corrected. A software patch for a ROM mask with existing patch references may then automatically be created.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2009Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Conrad Kreek, Sean Simmons, Jacob Burkholder, Tran Phat, Jonathan Swoboda

Patent number: 7930138Abstract: A handheld computing device comprises a data processor configured to allocate a set of measurements of a wireless signal amongst partitions of a hierarchical multi-level partition space. Each level has a plurality of the partitions. Each partition has a respective numerical range, and the value of each allocated measurement is within one of the ranges. One of the measurements allocated to one of the partitions has a desired rank. This partition encompasses the range of all the partitions in the immediately lower level. Each partition in the immediately lower level has a desired resolution for the allocated measurements. The data processor sums the number of measurements allocated to each respective partition in the immediately lower level until the desired rank is obtained. The numerical range of the partition in this lower level that is associated with the desired rank comprises an estimate of a characteristic of the wireless signal.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2009Date of Patent: April 19, 2011Assignee: Research In Motion LimitedInventors: Phat Tran, Xing Qian, Sean Simmons, Jonathan Swoboda

Publication number: 20100290987Abstract: The invention relates to methods and products for modulating glycosylation of proteins. The invention is useful for identifying therapeutic compounds to treat glycosylation-associated disorders such as neurodegeneration, diabetes, including complications of diabetes such as insulin resistance, nephropathy, microvascular damage, and endothelial dysfunction. The invention is also useful for identifying therapeutic compounds to treat de-glycosylation-associated disorders such as ischemic damage and traumatic injury. The invention also relates in part to assays that are useful for identifying and testing candidate compounds for modulating glycosylation of proteins and also relates in part to compounds to treat glycosylation-associated diseases and disorders.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2008Publication date: November 18, 2010Inventors: Benjamin Gross, Suzanne Kahne Walker, Jonathan Swoboda

Patent number: 7526406Abstract: A method of estimating an electrical characteristic of an electrical signal involves allocating measurements amongst numerically sequential primary partitions. Each measurement is associated with a characteristic of an electrical signal. Each primary partition has a respective primary numerical range, and the value of each measurement is numerically within one of the primary numerical ranges. The measurements associated with one of the primary partitions are then allocated amongst numerically sequential secondary partitions. One of the measurements that is associated with the one primary partition has a desired rank. The secondary partitions are disposed numerically within the primary numerical range of the one primary partition. Each secondary partition has a respective secondary numerical range, and the value of each measurement that is associated with each secondary partition is within one of the secondary numerical ranges.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2007Date of Patent: April 28, 2009Assignee: Research In Motion LimitedInventors: Phat Tran, Xing Qian, Sean Simmons, Jonathan Swoboda
