Patent number: 11961332Abstract: One or more electronic device may use motion and/or activity sensors to estimate a user's 6 minute walking distance. In particular, because users typically walk at less than their maximum output and in imperfect conditions, control circuitry within the device(s) may rely on walks of shorter distances to estimate the 6 minute walking distance. For example, the control circuitry may gather activity information for the user, such as heart rate, calories burned, and step count, and analyze a distance component and a speed component for periods in which the user has walked. Individual 6 minute walk distance estimates may be generated based on each of the activity information, distance component, and speed component. The distance and speed estimates may be corrected for walking behaviors that deviate from an ideal testing environment, and may then be fused with the activity estimate to generate a final 6 minute walk distance estimate.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: William R. Powers, III, Maryam Etezadi-Amoli, Britni A. Crocker, Allison L. Gilmore, Edith M. Arnold, Hung A. Pham, Irida Mance, Sumayah F. Rahman, Katherine Niehaus, Kyle A. Reed, Maxsim L. Gibiansky, Karthik Jayaraman Raghuram, Adeeti V. Ullal

Publication number: 20240080251Abstract: A test and measurement instrument includes an acquisition memory and a processor structured to store a stream of sampled incoming data samples in the acquisition memory. As the memory fills, the instrument automatically decimates either the data samples already stored in the acquisition memory, the incoming data samples, or both. The instrument may also store two copies of the incoming data samples, one at an increased decimation rate. The two copies are tied together with a timestamp or using other methods. The more highly decimated copy may be used to produce a video output of the stored data samples, saving the instrument from generating the video output from the larger sized sample.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventor: Shane L. Arnold

Patent number: 10938689Abstract: In general, certain embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques or mechanisms for automatically filtering network messages in an aviation network for an aircraft based on a current system context. According to various embodiments, a method is provided comprising receiving a network message transmitted from a source avionic device to a destination avionic device via one or more network packets within the aviation network. A current system context, indicating an aggregate status of avionic devices within the aviation network, is determined based on monitoring the avionic devices. The network message is analyzed by identifying a plurality of attributes corresponding to header and data fields of the one or more network packets corresponding to the network message. The acceptability of the network message within the current system context is determined based on one or more filter rules that specify what attributes are allowed within a particular system context.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2018Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: John E.

Publication number: 20200385751Abstract: The subject invention relates to a novel gene referred to herein as DSM-2. This gene was identified in Streptomyces coelicolor A3. The DSM-2 protein is distantly related to PAT and BAR. The subject invention also provides plant-optimized genes encoding DSM-2 proteins. DSM-2 can be used as a transgenic trait to impart tolerance in plants and plant cells to the herbicides glufosinate and bialaphos. One preferred use of the subject genes are as selectable markers. The use of this gene as a selectable marker in a bacterial system can increase efficiency for plant transformations. Use of DSM-2 as the sole selection marker eliminates the need for an additional medicinal antibiotic marker (such as ampicillin resistance) during cloning. Various other uses are also possible according to the subject invention.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2020Publication date: December 10, 2020Applicant: Dow AgroSciences LLCInventors: Justin M Lira, Terry Wright, Andrew E. Robinson, Sean Russell, Donald J Merlo, Steven Webb, Nicole L Arnold, Kelley E Smith

Patent number: 10721259Abstract: In general, certain embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods and systems for automatic generation of filter rules based on functional network flows for e-Enabled aviation systems. According to various embodiments, a method is provided comprising capturing network packets corresponding to a functional network flow transmitted within a networked aviation system, and parsing the network packets in order to extract one or more network messages corresponding to the functional network flow. The network message is examined in order to identify and classify a plurality of attributes corresponding to the header and data fields of the network packets. A table corresponding to the network messages is automatically generated, which includes one or more filter rules. In some embodiments, the table may be used to determine which communications are authorized during a particular context of the networked aviation system. The method further comprises validating the one or more filter rules.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2016Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: John E.

Publication number: 20200034832Abstract: A device receives clear text data for long-term tokenization and an indication to discontinue long-term tokenization of the clear text data. The device implements a tokenization continuity mode based on receiving the indication to discontinue long-term tokenization of the clear text data. Implementing the tokenization continuity mode can include obtaining an identifier for use during the tokenization continuity mode, generating a temporary token associated with the clear text data, and storing the temporary token and the clear text data. The temporary token includes the identifier. The device receives an indication to terminate the tokenization continuity mode, generates a long-term token associated with the clear text data based on receiving the indication to terminate the tokenization continuity mode, and replaces the temporary token with the long-term token.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2018Publication date: January 30, 2020Inventors: John L.
