Patent number: 11933087Abstract: A storage console includes a housing with a storage chamber, two closure members connected to the housing, an actuator movably arranged in the housing and a latch mechanism rotatably connected to the housing. The two closure members can be rotated to open or close the storage chamber. The latch mechanism includes two latch members and a synchronizer connected between the two latch members. The movement of the actuator actuates the two latch members to rotate to a lock position in which the two latch members engage with the two closure members or a release position in which the two latch members are separated from the two closure members. The two closure members of the storage console can be opened synchronously by use of the actuator and closed independently of each other.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Mona Li, Wei Xu, Leo Chen, Kevin Shen

Patent number: 11533233Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for developing spanning trees at devices that are interconnected in a rendering network. According to the techniques, a change in connectivity between two devices in the rendering network may be detected at a first one of the devices, information representing a cost of connectivity may be stored in a data record at the first device. A spanning tree may then be calculated from a candidate set of communication links that interconnect the devices of the rendering network according to cost information representing those communication links. A device may exchange information, such as information regarding the rendering network, to another device of the rendering network according to communication links identified for the spanning tree. The data record may be of a conflict-free replicated data type.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2020Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Johannes P. Schmidt, Kevin Shen

Patent number: 11490155Abstract: Control techniques are disclosed for devices that are members of ad hoc rendering networks. A first network device may receive a data record representing state of the network. The data record may contain data identifying device(s) that are members of the network, any grouping(s) of the device(s) defined for the network, and a play state of the device(s). When the first network device receives the data record, it may store the data record locally at the first player device. The first player device may determine whether the data record possesses a command altering a play state of a device. If so and if the command is addressed to the first player device, the first player device may execute the command at the first player device. The data record may be relayed among all devices in the ad hoc rendering network, and each device may perform this same process. In this manner, state updates propagate to all devices that are members of the rendering network, and all such devices store state data of all other devices.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2021Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Johannes Schmidt, Kevin Shen, David Saracino, Simon Goldrei

Patent number: 11363041Abstract: A method selectively installs a particular signature on a particular gateway based on the type of signature and the type of computer asset that is protected by that particular gateway. A system and/or analyst receives multiple signatures, where different signatures from the multiple signatures are specific for different types of computer assets. The system and/or analyst identifies and extracts a particular signature, from the multiple signatures, that will protect, if implemented on the appropriate gateway, a particular computer asset. The system and/or analyst identifies the appropriate gateway that protects the particular computer asset, and installs only the extracted particular signature from the multiple signatures on that appropriate gateway.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2020Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Adam Paquin, Peyton Duncan, Kevin Shen, Johathan Bees, Srinivas Babu Tummalapenta

Patent number: 11252267Abstract: A system can include one or more content distribution sites to provide content to one or more content satellite offices for delivery toward a set of destination devices for display. A content distribution site, of the one or more content distribution sites, can include one or more streamer devices. The one or more streamer devices can be associated with a single spoofed Internet protocol (IP) address. The spoofed IP address can facilitate failover among the one or more streamer devices. The one or more streamer devices can be configured to provide the content toward the set of destination devices using multicast with forward error correction (FEC). A content satellite office, of the one or more content satellite offices, can be configured to subscribe to a multicast group associated with the one or more streamer devices. The multicast group can be associated with the spoofed IP address to facilitate the failover among the one or more streamer devices.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2021Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Kevin Shen, Suri B.
