Patent number: 10360614Abstract: Technology is described for providing assessments of resource deployments in a computing service environment. A group of related resources may be identified in a computing service environment. The group of related resources may be associated with a single customer. A rating for the group of related resources may be determined based in part on design characteristics of the group of related resources and runtime behavior of the group of related resources. A resource configuration recommendation may be provided based on the rating. The resource configuration recommendation may include alternative resource configurations to improve the rating for the group of related resources.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2015Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Erin Nicole Rifkin, Philip Fitzsimons, Michael Lee Garza, Paul Horvath, Thomas Boyd Johnston, Johnathon Paul Anthony Meichtry, Attila Narin, Paul Nau, Lawrence Mark Pizette, Max Moon Ramsay, David Arthur Stanford, Jr., Saurabh Dwivedi

Publication number: 20180239581Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include methods, systems and computer program products for generating at least one control parameter for controlling a signal processor that processes audio signals. A point set is defined, wherein the point set may assume a plurality of topological configurations. Each topological configuration comprises at least one region, each of the at least one region associated with at least one or more topological attributes. A mapping is defined from each of the plurality of topological configurations to a respective plurality of parameters, wherein the mapping is performed based upon the topological attributes of said topological configuration. A user input is received wherein the user input expresses a transformation of the point set from a first topological configuration a second topological configuration. An updated set of topological attributes is determined based upon the second topological configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 20, 2018Publication date: August 23, 2018Inventors: Lawrence Mark Guterman, Jonathan L.

Patent number: 9180393Abstract: A liquid filter with a composite medium that has a nanoweb adjacent to and optionally bonded to a microporous membrane. The membrane is characterized by an LRV value of 3.7 at a rated particle size, and the nanoweb has a fractional filtration efficiency of greater than 0.1 at the rated particle size of the membrane. The nanoweb also has a thickness efficiency ratio of greater than 0.0002 at that efficiency. The nanoweb acts to provide depth filtration to the membrane, prefilters particles and extends the lifetime of the membrane.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2010Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: E I DU PONT DE NEMOURS AND COMPANYInventors: Guanghui Chen, Henricus Jacobus Cornelis Gommeren, Lawrence Mark Knorr

Patent number: 8625835Abstract: The present invention provides for the embodiments for a combined apparel and conductive extension wire assembly to bridge connectivity between a portable audio listening devices and transducers that emit audio sounds. The combined garment and extension wire assembly comprises of a garment (such as a shirt, jacket, cap, etc.) having an electrical wire with a connector on one end positioned within the interior of a garment pocket for conductive connectivity to the audio output of a portable listening device held within said pocket. The extension wire assembly shall channel through the interior of the garment through passageways or within garment seams, extending to garment apertures wherein a left and right channel wire shall respectively pass through and exit the apparel fabric having each wire ending with a connector enabling further conductive connectivity respectively to left and right channel transducers emitting audio sounds.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2012Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Inventor: Lawrence Mark Gotlieb

Patent number: 8512226Abstract: A sexual aid device and method for inserting and occupying space within a human female's vagina to provide a sensation of increased fullness to the female and a sensation of increased tightness and friction to a penis of a human male during sexual intercourse, thereby enhancing sexual arousal of both the female and the male. The sexual aid can be a member having a bulbous end for insertion and a tapered end for externally grasping and manipulating the member. The tapered end may include a hooked protrusion for providing anal stimulation to the female. The member may contain one or more vibrating devices. The member may further include a generally planar surface featuring a trough and can include two arced terminuses oriented in opposing directions. An internal pellet-rotating device may be installed within the tapered end of the member to produce mechanical friction in and around the vagina.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2007Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: Blue Dreams Co. Ltd.Inventor: Lawrence Mark

Patent number: 8050921Abstract: A system and method according to the present invention automates call monitoring activities to evaluate and directly improve agent-customer interactions. Rather than listening to an entire call or monitoring only a small fraction of all the calls made in the contact center, the system performs highly accurate, automated evaluations of all customer interactions. By automating the time-consuming aspect of monitoring calls, the system empowers contact center operators to address quality issues, more accurately measure, coach and reward agents, and identify business-critical trends.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2009Date of Patent: November 1, 2011Assignee: Siemens Enterprise Communications, Inc.Inventors: Lawrence Mark, Geoffrey J.
