Patent number: 9928555Abstract: Activity feeds let users know about what is happening, and stay connected, with their friends and games. Users are able to discover new and exciting stories, games and friends. The information presented for a particular user is the most relevant information for that user. Relevancy is used to determine the priority of how items/feed stories are presented for a user. Feed stories are shown for a particular user's friends. The most popular trending stories are shown to all users based on relevancy rules. Most popular trending stories are determined based on the ones that have the most comments and likes. The activity feeds relating to a particular type are able to be condensed and presented to the users. Custom actions for the particular type of condensed activity feeds are identical. Condensed activity feeds are displayed using a predefined format “condensed title.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2014Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignees: Sony Corporation, Sony Interactive Entertainment LLCInventors: Stephen Yong, Khoi-Nguyen Duc Do, Dustin Huy Pham, Isaias Formacio-Serna

Patent number: 9806967Abstract: A packet reception state monitoring unit calculates a target stored data number as a target number of audio packets stored in a memory based on the variation in the reception intervals of audio packets, and a reproduction control unit controls the audio reproduction speed in accordance with the difference between the target stored data number and a memory-stored data number. When the memory-stored data number is smaller than the target stored data number, reproduction control is performed in a low-speed reproduction mode at a lower speed than a regular reproduction speed. When the memory-stored data number is larger than the target stored data number, reproduction control is performed in a high-speed reproduction mode at a higher speed than the regular reproduction speed. A reproduction speed changing process is performed, with hysteresis being given to transitions of the difference between the memory-stored data number and the target stored data number.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2014Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignees: Sony Corporation, Sony Interactive Entertainment America LLCInventors: Takanori Minamino, Khoi Nguyen

Publication number: 20170256956Abstract: A multi-level rectifier is presented that is suitable for use at high frequencies, including into MHz range such as in the 6.78 MHz band used for wireless power transfer. Depending on the amplitude of the input waveform, the rectifier can be operated in different modes. For lower input levels, the rectifier acts as a voltage doubler. For higher input levels, the impedance of the rectifier can be varied based on the input level. The rectifier is a synchronous rectifier with a front section and a back section, where the impedance is varied by changing the phase of the control signal of the back section relative to that of the front section.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2016Publication date: September 7, 2017Inventors: Linda Stacey IRISH, William Henry VON NOVAK, III, Arvind GOVINDARAJ, Khoi NGUYEN

Patent number: 9648548Abstract: A wireless mesh network is configured. Each node is configured to function as either a gateway node or a relay node. To configure itself as a gateway node, an access node selects an SSID for each of its wireless interfaces that indicates it is an access node. When a relay access node is configuring itself, it scans for the SSIDs of available networks. The SSIDs of the mesh network are selected to indicate the number of other access points between a given access node and a direct wired connection (which is zero in the case of a gateway node.) The relay access node connects to the network having an SSID that indicates the fewest number of hops between itself and a direct wired connection. The SSID that is broadcast by the relay access node indicates the number of other access points between itself and a direct wired connection.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2015Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: Sprint Spectrum L.P.Inventors: Seng Gan, Khoi Nguyen, Aaron Hinkle, Michael F.

Patent number: 9148817Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for routing signaling traffic. One embodiment takes the form of a method that involves a networking device determining that a level of signaling traffic intended for a group of one or more destinations is greater than a threshold level, and responsive to the signaling traffic being greater than the threshold level, the networking device lowering a priority assigned to signaling traffic intended for the group of one or more destinations. The networking device may output the signaling traffic intended for the group of one or more destinations with the lowered priority.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2013Date of Patent: September 29, 2015Assignee: Sprint Spectrum L.P.Inventors: Khoi Nguyen, Seng Gan

Patent number: 9129510Abstract: Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for monitoring an operating condition of an electrical component, such as electrical switchgear. In one example, temperatures associated with an electrical conductor connection within the electrical component may be evaluated against one or more expected temperatures curves derived from a linear regression model to determine whether the electrical conductor connection has failed or is starting to fail. In another example, temperature readings may be monitored to determine whether a temperature reading at one location is out of sync with temperature readings at other locations. An electrical conductor connection associated with a location of the out of sync temperature may be determined as faulty. In another example, a Euclidean distance model and/or a correlation coefficient model may be used to identify a faulty electrical conductor connection. In this way, failure and/or potential failure of the electrical component may be predicted.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2012Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: ABB TECHNOLOGY AGInventors: Wei Huang, Khoi Nguyen, Douglas A.

Publication number: 20130182829Abstract: Alignment systems and associated methods of using such systems to help aim an x-ray source at an x-ray detector are described in this application. The alignment systems can contain an electromagnetic radiation transmitter (or receiver) that is associated with the x-ray detector and an electromagnetic radiation receiver (or transmitter) that is associated with the x-ray source. Electromagnetic radiation produced by the electromagnetic radiation transmitter can be detected by the receiver and used to align the x-ray source and the x-ray detector in the x-ray device. In some configurations, the electromagnetic radiation transmitter contains a radio-frequency (RF) antenna (or antenna array) that is attached in a fixed position relative to the x-ray detector and the electromagnetic radiation receiver also contains an RF antenna (or antenna array) that is in a fixed position relative to the x-ray detector. Other embodiments are described.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2013Publication date: July 18, 2013Applicant: Aribex, Inc.Inventors: Khoi Nguyen, John McMullen

Publication number: 20090270989Abstract: Spinal implants are disclosed that can be used for annular repair, facet unloading, disc height preservation, disc decompression, or for sealing a portal through which a nucleus implant was placed. In some embodiments, an implant is placed within the intervertebral disc space, primarily within the region of the annulus fibrosus. In some embodiments, the implant is expandable. In some embodiments, the implant has a sealing tail structure comprising a tail flange and a linkage. In some embodiments, the sealing tail structure limits the extrusion or expulsion of disc material, either annulus fibrosus or nucleus, into the posterior region of the spine where it could impinge on nerves. In some embodiments, the tail structure is retained in place within the annulus fibrosus by means of an anchor. In some embodiments, the anchor is constructed from multiple components.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2008Publication date: October 29, 2009Applicant: Magellan Spine Technologies, Inc.Inventors: E.
