Patent number: 11226201Abstract: Provided are apparatus and methods for generating a representation of a physical environment, comprising: a mobile sensor platform (MSP) including sensors that output sensor signals relating to parameters such as range, gravity, direction of the Earth's magnetic field, and angular velocity. The MSP is adapted to be moved through the environment. The sensor signals are processed and observations of axes in the environment are generated for a sequence of time steps, the orientation of the MSP is estimated for each of the time steps, observed axes are identified at each orientation, and similar axes are associated. The orientations, the axes in the environment, and the directions of gravity and the Earth's magnetic field are linked such that each observation is predicted based on the estimates of the orientations. An estimate of the orientations is optimized and an output of the representation of the physical environment is generated based on the optimized orientation estimates.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2016Date of Patent: January 18, 2022Assignee: Queen's University at KingstonInventors: Marc Gallant, Joshua Marshall

Patent number: 10948607Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus and method for augmenting the 3 dimensional position information obtained from the NAVSTAR satellite-based global positioning system (“GPS”) system. Such systems can be impacted by physical obstacles that prevent the receipt of the satellite signals or as a result of sun spot activity that introduces noise into the signals thus causing them to become intermittently unavailable and/or making them less accurate in the course of normal operation. Therefore, an improved positioning solution that can operate under such poor GPS operational conditions is needed. The apparatus and method of the invention augments GPS with dead reckoning techniques when GPS signals are unavailable or inaccurate. The apparatus and method of the invention demonstrates highest value when applied to blasthole drill positioning applications in open-pit mines.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2019Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: Peck Tech Consulting Ltd.Inventors: Sandy Pyke, Nicholas Jamie Lavigne, Joshua Marshall, Jonathan Peck, Andrew Scott

Patent number: 10676190Abstract: An autorotating unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has a data acquisition system and a rotor assembly including a hub that couples the rotor assembly to the UAV. Although not limited thereto, the UAV is suitable for collecting data about the inside of a cavity. The data acquisition system includes a processor and one or more sensors that obtain data about motion of the UAV and at least one parameter of the cavity as the UAV descends though the cavity. Features of the cavity may be mapped by generating a 3D point cloud from the data. The cavity may be natural or man-made, such as a mine.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2018Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: Queen's University at KingstonInventors: Jordan Mitchell, Joshua Marshall

Patent number: 10391287Abstract: A shunt catheter system and method of use thereof. The system generally includes an open-ended ventricular catheter with drainage apertures and safety flap valves, a reservoir with inline filter, and a peritoneal catheter. After insertion, for example into the ventricles of the brain, cerebrospinal fluid would pass into the ventricular catheter, through the inline filter in the reservoir, and into the peritoneal catheter, subsequently exiting the shunt catheter system. During insertion of the ventricular catheter, a catheter stylet or wire/string and plug stylet can be positioned therein to occlude the open end. The ventricular catheter may be positioned perpendicular to the peritoneal catheter and can be coupled to one another through the reservoir and inline filter or valve.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2016Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: University of South FloridaInventor: Joshua Marshall Beckman

Patent number: 9945668Abstract: Provided are methods and products for rapid, reliable, and accurate monitoring and detecting of convergence in mining and civil engineering applications. A sensor, such as a scanning laser device, is moved through a tunnel, either automatically, autonomously, or with manual guidance. The sensor is configured to acquire 3D point clouds of all or a portion of a tunnel, at selected times. The 3D point cloud data is used to compute a set of indicators, which are local descriptors of the environment along the tunnel. The indicators are then amalgamated to estimate the probability that convergence has occurred in a given region. In one embodiment, the indicators are fused together using a Bayes network.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2017Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: Queen's University at KingstonInventors: Robert Lindsay Vanderbeck, Joshua A.

Patent number: 9124423Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for iterative data secret-sharing transformation and reconversion. In one aspect, data secret-sharing transformation and reconversion is provided in which each bit of an input stream of bits of data is split, on a bit by bit basis, into a pair of secret-sharing bits, and the secret-sharing bits of each pair of secret-sharing bits are separated into separate streams of secret-sharing bits. In this manner, one secret-sharing bit of each pair of secret-sharing bits may be placed in one stream of secret-sharing bits and the other secret-sharing bit of each pair may be placed in another stream of secret-sharing bits different from the one stream of secret-sharing bits. Confidentiality of the original input stream may be protected in the event one but not both streams of secret-sharing bits is obtained by unauthorized personnel.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2010Date of Patent: September 1, 2015Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Paul A.

Patent number: 8850434Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for constraining auto live migration of virtual machines using group tags, access control lists, and time constraints. A system assigns a hypervisor a group tag denoting membership in a group and assigns a virtual machine an affinity group tag that denotes a placement requirement on hypervisors. The affinity group tag can be positive, requiring a match, or negative, requiring a non-match. The system migrates the virtual machine to the hypervisor according to compatibility between the group tag and the affinity group tag. Limitations of virtual machine placement and live migration due to group tags can be overridden in the system by a forced migration triggered by a human or qualifying event. Additionally, an access control list can be added to group membership of hypervisors and a time dimension can be added to a group tag or an access control list.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2012Date of Patent: September 30, 2014Assignee: Adaptive Computing Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Joshua Marshall Butikofer, Douglas Reed Wightman

Patent number: 8825603Abstract: A data transfer application implemented in a computational device receives a request to copy a plurality of storage volumes that form a consistency group. A determination is made that a first storage volume of the plurality of storage volumes is more likely to be written into than a second storage volume of the plurality of storage volumes, in response to receiving the request to copy the plurality of storage volumes. The first storage volume is copied before copying the second storage volume, in response to determining that the first storage volume is more likely to be written into than the second storage volume.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2010Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Theodore Timothy Harris, Jr., Paul Anthony Jennas, II, Jason L.
