Patent number: 10608769Abstract: A boundary of a wireless network is monitored for incoming wireless signals that may interfere with an ability of a first wireless computing device to connect to the wireless network within the boundary of the wireless network. For an incoming wireless signal determined to interfere with the ability of the first wireless computing device to connect to the wireless network within the boundary of the wireless network, a directional opposing outgoing wireless signal is emitted to counteract the incoming wireless signal and to stop the incoming wireless signal from further interfering with the ability of the first wireless computing device to connect to the wireless network within the boundary of the wireless network.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2019Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ira L. Allen, Lambert S. Berentsen, Gregory J. Boss

Patent number: 10351000Abstract: In one or more embodiments of the present invention, one or more processors receive a fuel sensor reading from a fuel sensor on a vehicle. The processor(s) receive an environmental state of a route being taken by the vehicle to a destination and a biometric sensor reading that describes a biometric state of a driver of the vehicle. The processor(s) determine whether the remaining fuel will be sufficient for the vehicle to reach the destination subject to the constraints of the environmental state of the route being taken by the vehicle and the biometric state of the driver of the vehicle, and then modify an appearance of a fuel gauge on the vehicle based on whether the remaining fuel will be sufficient for the vehicle to reach the destination.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2016Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Lambert S. Berentsen, Gregory J. Boss, James R. Kozloski, Kevin C. McConnell

Patent number: 9900750Abstract: Communicating with isolated mobile devices in indoor positioning systems is provided. Information is received from a first mobile device connected to both a first network of a designated environment and a second mobile device that is not connected to the first network. The information includes one or more identifiers of the second mobile device. An estimated location of the second mobile device is determined based, at least in part, on the information received from the first mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2017Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Lambert S. Berentsen, Gregory J. Boss, Rick A. Hamilton, II, James R. Kozloski
