Patent number: 10161924Abstract: Sensor systems including an interferometer system are disclosed herein. In a general embodiment, the sensor system includes an optical fiber that is embedded into a sample, where the optical fiber has a reflective tip. The optical fiber is optically coupled to a sensor and a detector of the laser interferometer system. The sensor system further includes a computing device or circuit that is configured to receive electrical signals generated by the detector. The laser source is configured to emit light, which is coupled into the optical fiber. The light travels through the optical fiber until the light reaches the reflective tip, where it is reflected back through the optical fiber. The detector is impacted by the reflected light, and generates an electrical signal based upon the reflected light. The computing device generates a value that is indicative of a behavior of the sample based upon the electrical signal.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2015Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: National Technology & Engineering Solutions of Sandia, LLCInventors: Marcus Alexander Chavez, Timothy T.

Patent number: 10149097Abstract: A geofence management system obtains location data for points of interest. The geofence management system determines, at the option of the user, the location of a user mobile computing device relative to specific points of interest and alerts the user when the user nears the points of interest. The geofence management system, however, determines relationships among the identified points of interest, and associates or “clusters” the points of interest together based on the determined relationships. Rather than establishing separate geofences for multiple points of interest, and then alerting the user each time the user's mobile device enters each geofence boundary, the geofence management system establishes a single geofence boundary for the associated points of interest. When the user's mobile device enters the clustered geofence boundary, the geofence management system notifies the user device to alert the user of the entrance event. The user then receives the clustered, geofence-based alert.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2017Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Xiaohang Wang, Farhan Shamsi, Yakov Okshtein, David Singleton, Debra Lin Repenning, Lixin Zhang, Marcus Alexander Foster
