Patent number: 12240353Abstract: A technique provides power-limiting regenerative braking to a utility vehicle. The technique involves detecting that the utility vehicle is moving in a forward direction at a first speed. The technique further involves applying a first regenerative braking power level to the utility vehicle in response to detecting that the utility vehicle is moving in the forward direction at the first speed. The technique further involves detecting that the utility vehicle is moving in the forward direction at a second speed which is less than the first speed. The technique further involves applying a second regenerative braking power level to the utility vehicle in response to detecting that the utility vehicle is moving in the forward direction at the second speed. The second regenerative braking power level is lower than the first regenerative braking power level.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2023Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: Textron Innovations Inc.Inventors: Russell William King, Kevin Douglas Grove

Patent number: 12244693Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium for retrieving information from a server. Methods can include a server receiving a set of client-encrypted queries. The server identifies a set of server-encrypted decryption keys and transmits the set to the client device. The server receives a set of client-server-encrypted decryption keys that includes the set of server-encrypted decryption keys encrypted by the client device. The server also receives a set of client-encrypted/client-derived decryption keys that were derived by the client device. The server generates matching a map that specifies matches between the set of client-server-encrypted decryption keys and the set of client-encrypted/client-derived decryption keys. The server filters the set of client-encrypted queries using the map to create a set of filtered client-encrypted queries and generates a set of query results.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2021Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Eli Simon Fox-Epstein, Craig William Wright, Kevin Wei Li Yeo, Mariana Raykova, Karn Seth

Publication number: 20250067235Abstract: A combined mass airflow sensor and hydrocarbon trap is provided for absorbing evaporative hydrocarbon emissions from an air intake duct of an internal combustion engine. The combined mass airflow sensor and hydrocarbon trap comprises a duct that supports a hydrocarbon absorbing sheet in an unfolded configuration within a housing. The duct communicates an airstream from an air filter to the air intake duct during operation of the internal combustion engine. An opening in the housing receives a mass airflow sensor into the duct, such that the mass airflow sensor is disposed within the airstream. Guide vanes extending across the duct reduce air turbulence within the airstream passing by the mass airflow sensor. Ports disposed along the duct allow the evaporative hydrocarbon emissions to be drawn into the interior and arrested by the hydrocarbon absorbing sheet when the internal combustion engine is not operating.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2024Publication date: February 27, 2025Applicant: K&N Engineering, Inc.Inventors: Kevin McClelland, Steve Williams

Publication number: 20250071251Abstract: A system and a method for locating and visualizing camera images in relation to a large-scale manufacturing product with repetitive structures are disclosed. The system includes a trackable camera device, a tracking subsystem, and an image overlay module. The trackable camera device can capture images of surface features of the large-scale product. The tracking subsystem is configured to generate a tracking record that contains the position and location of the trackable camera device over time. The image overlay module is configured to precisely overlay the captured images on a three-dimensional model of the large-scale product based on where the trackable camera device was tracked when each image was captured. A method is disclosed for using the components of the system to overlay the captured images, and a method of auditing the large-scale product by comparing a region of interest to previously captured images overlaid on a respective three-dimensional model.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2023Publication date: February 27, 2025Inventors: Kevin Matthies, Bharath Rao, John Baumfalk-Lee, Mark Haynes, Matthew William McKenna

Patent number: 12235043Abstract: The present disclosure provides, among other things, methods of drying porcine thyroid gland material and manufacturing DTE comprising vacuum drying porcine thyroid gland material in a way such that the temperature of the porcine thyroid gland material is maintained above a threshold temperature. Since applying vacuum, or reducing pressure, has a cooling effect on the porcine thyroid gland material, maintaining the porcine thyroid gland material above a threshold temperature can be achieved by gradually reducing pressure while simultaneously increasing the heat applied to the porcine thyroid gland material during the period of gradual pressure change. Such methods are advantageous in reducing bioburden (killing and impeding the growth of microorganisms) while maintaining therapeutic levels of thyroid hormones, as compared to certain methods of drying porcine thyroid gland material and/or manufacturing DTE known in the art.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2024Date of Patent: February 25, 2025Assignee: ALI Pharmaceutical Manufacturing, LLCInventors: Ryan Cole, Austin Soejoto, Matthew Costanzo, Andrew Perea, Nathan Wecker, Daniel Baumann, Benjamin Wademan, Shedrick Williams, Kevin Tang

Patent number: 12216797Abstract: Systems and methods are described for managing personal data on a client computer, in which personal data associated with the client computer is identified by a policy management module. An analysis may be performed for the client computer by a server using fake personal data. To identify applications which may attempt to access the personal data, the fake personal data is tracked for access on the client computer. A policy is then created that disallows access of the personal data by any applications identified by the analysis of the client computer as accessing the fake personal data. The policy is then assigned to the client computer.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2024Date of Patent: February 4, 2025Assignee: Lookout, Inc.Inventors: Timothy Micheal Wyatt, Kevin Patrick Mahaffey, David Luke Richardson, Brian James Buck, Marc William Rogers

Patent number: 12211691Abstract: Dry development of resists can be useful, for example, to form a patterning mask in the context of high-resolution patterning. Dry development may be advantageously accomplished by a method of processing a semiconductor substrate including providing in a process chamber a photopatterned resist on a substrate layer on a semiconductor substrate, and dry developing the photopatterned resist by removing either an exposed portion or an unexposed portion of the resist by a dry development process comprising exposure to a chemical compound to form a resist mask. The resist may be an EUV-sensitive organo-metal oxide or organo-metal-containing thin film EUV resist.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2019Date of Patent: January 28, 2025Assignee: Lam Research CorporationInventors: Boris Volosskiy, Timothy William Weidman, Samantha SiamHwa Tan, Chenghao Wu, Kevin Gu

Patent number: 12170573Abstract: In one embodiment, a device may transmit, via a network to an application, a series of sensor measurements captured by the device, each sensor measurement having an associated timestamp based on a clock of the device. The device may receive, from the application, an indication that at least a portion of the series of sensor measurement were not received by the application. The device may determine, for those sensor measurements not received by the application, timestamp differences between their timestamps and a current time of the clock of the apparatus, after receiving the indication.
