Patent number: 9529334Abstract: Described examples include a millimeter wave atomic clock apparatus, chip scale vapor cell, and fabrication method in which a low pressure dipolar molecule gas is provided in a sealed cavity with a conductive interior surface forming a waveguide. Non-conductive apertures provide electromagnetic entrance to, and exit from, the cavity. Conductive coupling structures formed on an outer surface of the vapor cell near the respective non-conductive apertures couple an electromagnetic field to the interior of the cavity for interrogating the vapor cell using a transceiver circuit at a frequency that maximizes the rotational transition absorption of the dipolar molecule gas in the cavity to provide a reference clock signal for atomic clock or other applications.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2015Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATEDInventors: Juan Alejandro Herbsommer, Benjamin S. Cook, Phillip Nadeau, Simon Joshua Jacobs, Django Earl Trombley

Patent number: 9531823Abstract: Processes are disclosed for generating share recommendations for sharing content based at least in part on associated metadata of the content (e.g., geo-location of the content, the date/time of the content, subject matter of the content, etc.). A quick share system may track an individual's share history, including people with whom the individual has shared content, the date/time the content was shared, the geo-location of the individual when the content was shared, etc. Share recommendations indicating one or more suggested people with whom the individual may wish to share content may be generated for the individual, based at least in part on some of a current time/date, the individual's current location, the content metadata, the individual's share history. Share recommendations may also be based in part on an event associated with the content, user feedback data for shared content, and content analysis such as image analysis for digital images.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2013Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan Edward Suchland, Mihir Kumar Choudhary, Joshua Jacob Slimp, Daniel Hafner Cavalcanti, Scott Michael Denman, Ario Jafarzadeh

Patent number: 9505439Abstract: A method of varying vehicle width on a single platform includes providing a plurality of vehicles, where each vehicle includes a side sill extending longitudinally along a lower portion of a vehicle body. The side sill defines a door opening interface on each opposing side of the vehicle body. Each of the plurality of vehicles also includes a floor panel extending laterally across a width of each vehicle. The floor panel is joined at a lateral edge to the side sill. The method also includes maintaining a common lateral position of the joint between the floor panel and the side sill across each of the plurality of vehicles. The method further includes positioning the door opening interface at first lateral position corresponding to a first one of the plurality of vehicles and at a second lateral position corresponding to a second one of the plurality of vehicles.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2015Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Vladimir Vladimirovich Bogachuk, Monica Blair, Maria J.

Patent number: 9032522Abstract: The various technologies presented herein relate to the determination of unexpected and/or malicious activity occurring between components communicatively coupled across a backplane. Control data, etc., can be intercepted at a backplane where the backplane facilitates communication between a controller and at least one device in an automation process. During interception of the control data, etc., a copy of the control data can be made, e.g., the original control data can be replicated to generate a copy of the original control data. The original control data can continue on to its destination, while the control data copy can be forwarded to an analyzer system to determine whether the control data contains a data anomaly. The content of the copy of the control data can be compared with a previously captured baseline data content, where the baseline data can be captured for a same operational state as the subsequently captured control data.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2013Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Assignee: Sandia CorporationInventors: John Mulder, Moses Daniel Schwartz, Michael Berg, Jonathan Roger Van Houten, Jorge Mario Urrea, Michael Aaron King, Abraham Anthony Clements, Jason Trent, Jennifer M.

Patent number: 8541860Abstract: Device and method for an antireflective coating to improve image quality in an image display system. A preferred embodiment comprises a first high refractive index layer overlying a reflective surface of an integrated circuit, a first low refractive index layer overlying the first high refractive index layer, a second high refractive index layer overlying the first low refractive index layer, and a second low refractive index layer overlying the second high refractive index layer. The alternating layers of high refractive index material and low refractive index material form an optical trap, allowing light to readily pass through in one direction, but not so easily in a reverse direction. The dual alternating layer topology improves the antireflective properties of the antireflective layer and permits a wide range of adjustments for manipulating reflectivity and color point.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2011Date of Patent: September 24, 2013Assignee: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventors: Simon Joshua Jacobs, Duane Scott Dewald, Leigh A.
