Publication number: 20240132096Abstract: A vehicle includes a system for generating, monitoring, and correcting an alert for an occupant of the vehicle. The system further includes multiple on-board input devices for generating a visual alert signal, an audio alert signal, and a haptic alert signal for an associated one of the visual notification, the audio notification, and the haptic notification received from notification devices. The system further includes a computer having one or more processors and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium (CRM) storing instructions. The processor is programmed to determine a priority level of the alert, compare the priority level to a predetermined priority level threshold, and generate a reporting activation signal in response to the processor determining that the priority level is below the predetermined priority level threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2022Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Steven Landry, Joseph F.

Patent number: 11546282Abstract: A system and method for postponing an electronic message displayed for a user of a computing device. Postponement options are displayed for the user. Display of the electronic message at the computing device is inhibited based on received user input. One option enables a user to repeat the most recently selected postponement option. Another option postpones the electronic message until the computing device is at a user-designated location. Some postponement options are generated according to context of the electronic message, such as the content of the electronic message, the date or time when the user requested the postponement, or prior history of user-selected postponements. Some options are based on a sampling of postponement options selected by a plurality of users.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2020Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Vijay Umapathy, Xander Pollock, Ryan Proch, Taylor Kourim, Liam Asher Segel-Brown, Ryan James Fioravanti, Michael Christopher Joseph Landry, Shalini Agarwal

Patent number: 10645046Abstract: A method postpones an electronic message displayed for a user of a computing device. The user provides input to postpone the electronic message. Postponement options are displayed for the user. The user selects one of the options. Display of the message at the computing device is inhibited accordingly. One option enables a user to repeat the most recently selected postponement option. Another option postpones the message until the computing device is at a user-designated location. Another option inhibits display of the message at the computing device, but enables display of the message at another user-specified second computing device. Some postponement options are generated according to context of the electronic message, such as the content of the electronic message, the date or time when the user requested the postponement, or prior history of user-selected postponements. Some options are based on a sampling of postponement options selected by a plurality of users.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2014Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Vijay Umapathy, Xander Pollock, Ryan Proch, Taylor Kourim, Liam Asher Segel-Brown, Ryan James Fioravanti, Michael Christopher Joseph Landry, Shalini Agarwal

Patent number: 8827627Abstract: Apparatus for the moving and spreading of loose materials, such as dirt. A frame attaches to the three point hitch on a tractor. A bucket is rotatably attached to the frame, and a blade is attached to the frame and positioned within the bucket so as to substantially span the height and width of the bucket interior. In a first position, the bottom wall of the bucket is positioned substantially horizontally. The tractor moves so as to insert the open mouth of the bucket into a quantity of loose material, then raises the bucket and moves to a desired location. The bucket is lowered so that drag members on the bucket contact the ground; forward movement of the tractor causes the bucket to rotate, creating an opening between the bucket and the blade and causing the loose material to flow out of the bucket onto the ground.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2011Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Inventors: Ronnie Joseph Landry, Chase Michael Landry

Patent number: 6725852Abstract: An ammunition magazine for dispensing uniformly-sized spherical projectiles such as paintballs into a gun adapted to shoot said projectiles has a generally oblong, closed container having a channel defined in its bottom from a distal axial end to an outlet port located in a lowermost, median portion of the container. The proximal portion of the container floor defines a slanted platform which extends above and beyond the outer port so that projectiles are urged by the platform toward the distal end of the channel from where they roll under the platform and into the outlet port. A helicoidal stirring arm projects from a distal area of the platform obliquely over the exposed part of the channel. The steering arm is driven by an electrical motor controlled by a switch conveniently mounted on the side of the magazine. The arm spins in a ball-uplifting direction to break any jamming of the balls above the channel.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2003Date of Patent: April 27, 2004Assignee: JT USA, Inc.Inventors: Michael J.

Publication number: 20020145742Abstract: A system and method for providing a multimedia laboratory notebook that adheres to standard, scientific documentation procedures. The system includes a database for storing experiment records, a server and input devices. The experiment records are a combination of text, graphics, digital images and other media. The database stores all experiment records permanently, such that modifications to existing database records results in the creation of a new, discrete database record containing the modified experiment record. The initial experiment record is the parent record, and each modified version is linked to the previous parent record. The experiment records are associated with a deliverable, and access to the experiment record is controlled according to access to the deliverable.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2001Publication date: October 10, 2002Inventors: Donna Koenig, Ernest Brody, Paul Beshah, Glenn Ward, Joseph Landry

Patent number: 4015130Abstract: A method and apparatus for monitoring optical radiation which, in a preferred embodiment, takes the form of a biologically weighted ultraviolet radiant energy monitor which provides a direct indication of the hazards to humans from the ultraviolet radiant energy emanating from the optical radiation source being monitored. The source of radiation is first spectrally dispersed by passage through a suitable prism or diffraction grating. Portions of the spectrally dispersed radiation are mechanically masked in accordance with a predetermined biological weighting. The subsequent weighted output from the mechanical mask is then fed to a suitable detector. In the various embodiments of the ultraviolet hazard monitor, a quartz prism or diffraction grating spectrograph is utilized to spectrally disperse the incident radiation spatially and a plate coated with sodium salicylate or other suitable converter is placed in the exit plane of the spectrograph.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 1975Date of Patent: March 29, 1977Assignee: The United States of AmericaInventors: Robert Joseph Landry, Robert G. Bostrom, Richard W. Peterson
