Patent number: 11924344Abstract: A method for accessing customer data includes receiving an access request requesting access to customer data stored on a storage abstraction. The access request includes a justification that specifies a purpose/reason for requesting access to the customer data. The method also includes validating the justification, and after validating the justification, transmitting the justification to an external key management service associated with a customer of the customer data. The external key management service is configured to grant or deny access to the customer data based on the justification. The method also includes receiving an approved access token from the external key management service when the external key management service grants access to the customer data and accessing the customer data stored on the storage abstraction using the approved access token received from the external key management service.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2023Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Joseph Valente, Nicole Jones, David Lee

Publication number: 20160101691Abstract: A disconnecting driveline component can include a shaft coupled to one of a pair of output members of a differential. A clutch input can be coupled for rotation with one of a ring gear and the one of the output members. A clutch output can be coupled for rotation with one of a differential case and the shaft. A collar can be axially-slidable between a first position, where the collar couples the clutch input and the clutch output to transmit rotational power therebetween, and a second position where the collar is rotatably decoupled from one of the clutch input and the clutch output. A pilot input can be non-rotatably coupled to the clutch input. A pilot output can be fixed to the clutch output. An electromagnet can draw the pilot input into frictional engagement with the pilot output when the collar is in the second position.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2014Publication date: April 14, 2016Inventor: Paul Joseph Valente

Patent number: 8986148Abstract: A disconnectable driveline arrangement for an all-wheel drive vehicle includes a power take-off unit having a disconnect mechanism, a rear drive module having a torque transfer device providing a disconnect function, a speed synchronization function and a torque biasing function, and a control system for controlling actuation of the disconnect mechanism and the torque transfer device. The power take-off unit and the rear drive module can each be equipped with a two-speed range shift unit which, under the control of the control system, permits establishment of high and low speed drive connections.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2013Date of Patent: March 24, 2015Assignee: American Axle & Manufacturing, Inc.Inventors: James Preston Downs, Paul Joseph Valente
