Patent number: 11920814Abstract: A method of controlling an agricultural facility for housing a plurality of animals includes the step of regulating the environment within the agricultural facility with an automated building operational system. An automated thermal event controller is operationally coupled with the automated building operational system and generates a thermal event signal in response to a thermal event in progress, whereby the automated thermal event controller, upon receipt of the thermal event signal indicating that the thermal event is in progress, activates an alarm state. In the alarm state, the automated thermal event controller: sends an alarm signal to a system administrator; places the automated building operational system in a safety-mode condition for a first predetermined time interval; and places the automated building operational system in a normal-mode operational condition after the first predetermined time interval and if a confirmatory signal is not yet then received from the system administrator.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: PRISM CONTROLS INC.Inventors: Sean Patrick Ryan, Kyle E.

Patent number: 11908318Abstract: Various technologies described herein pertain to generating a bid for turn priority at an intersection. An autonomous vehicle determines that the autonomous vehicle and a second autonomous vehicle are proximate to an intersection. The autonomous vehicle generates a first bid that is indicative of a first importance that the autonomous vehicle traverses the intersection. The first bid is based upon characteristics of a trip of a passenger riding in the autonomous vehicle. The autonomous vehicle transmits the first bid to a networked computing system, wherein the networked computing system determines a turn order based upon the first bid and a second bid generated by the second autonomous vehicle. The networked computing system transmits the turn order to the autonomous vehicle, wherein the autonomous vehicle operates based upon the turn order.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2022Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: GM CRUISE HOLDINGS LLCInventor: Kyle John Morris

Publication number: 20230409627Abstract: A computing system that can receive an object search request from a user indicating a request to search for a specific object in an area traversed by one or more autonomous vehicle. The object search request can include a set of physical characteristics of the specific object. The computing system can then transmit a signal to an autonomous vehicle indicating a request for the autonomous vehicle to search for the specific object. The signal can cause the autonomous vehicle to transmit an image, selected based on a physical characteristic of the object, to the computing system. The computing system can then generate a score indicative of a difference between one or more physical characteristic of the object in the image and the specific object. The computing system can then selectively transmit the image to a mobile device operated by the user based on the score.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Kyle John Morris, Guozhen La, Haven Lau, Sam Tran, Zhi Yuan Sherwin Lau

Publication number: 20230205655Abstract: This document describes apparatuses and techniques for enabling a user to authorize access to early boot debugging of hardware issues in a computing system. In general, responsive to a user consenting to early boot debugging, a debug reenable signal is set in nonvolatile storage. Upon reinitialization of the computing system and receipt of an early debugging request, if the debug reenable signal is detected and the early debugging request is authenticated, an early boot debugging system is enabled. The user consent to early boot debugging may circumvent the setting of a fuse that otherwise would prevent performance of early boot debugging.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2023Publication date: June 29, 2023Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Kyle John Rupnow, Gopi Krishna Tummala, Kang Yang, Ivan Hugh Mclean, Baranidharan Muthukumaran, Edwin Jose
