Patent number: 12464331Abstract: A wireless device detection system includes sensors to receive temporary identifiers transmitted between a base station and a mobile wireless device. A cumulative distribution function for survival probability is generated based on delta times between multiple access events for each temporary identifier. In response to a new access event, a corresponding temporary identifier is added to a streaming list and assigned a survival probability value, based on the cumulative distribution function, to a latest access event for each temporary identifier contained in the streaming list. Temporary identifiers that have a survival probability value less than a threshold value are removed from the streaming list. The number of temporary identifiers contained in the streaming list are compared to a number of devices known to be present. The probability that a device corresponding to each of the temporary identifiers contained in the streaming list is present is determined.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2023Date of Patent: November 4, 2025Assignee: Ubiety Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Mark Hoffmann

Patent number: 11856646Abstract: A wireless device detection system can include processors, memory devices, and sensors to receive temporary identifiers transmitted between a base station and a mobile wireless device. The memory devices include instructions that cause the processors to build a cumulative distribution function for survival probability based on delta times between multiple access events for each of multiple temporary identifiers received from the sensors. In response to a new access event, the processors add a corresponding temporary identifier to a streaming list and assign a survival probability value, based on the cumulative distribution function, to a latest access event for each temporary identifier contained in the streaming list.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2022Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: Ubiety Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Mark Hoffmann

Patent number: 11190929Abstract: A wireless device identification system including one or more sensors each having at least one software defined radio to receive signals transmitted between one or more wireless devices and a mobile wireless device, one or more processors, and one or more memory devices. The one or more memory devices having stored thereon instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to capture cellular information, Wi-Fi information, Bluetooth information, and local network information from the received signals. The instructions can include correlating the captured information to the mobile wireless device by creating a weighted edge relationship graph having a plurality of nodes, including a node corresponding to each of the cellular information, the Wi-Fi information, the Bluetooth information, and the local network information, and determining an association strength between each node of the relationship graph.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2020Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: Ubiety Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Aaron Richard Espy, Keith Puckett, Brian Sykes, Mark Hoffmann, Michael Cox

Publication number: 20140090300Abstract: A door actuator assembly comprising a base plate mounted to a container. The container includes a distribution orifice and a trap door mounted to the container that moves selectively between a closed position covering the distribution orifice, and an open position not fully covering the distribution orifice. The assembly includes a hook member mounted to the base plate including a hook. The hook engages with the trap door. The trap door moves linearly when the hook member moves. The assembly includes a hook actuator assembly mounted to the base plate, including a hook actuation arm coupled to the hook member. The hook actuation arm extends and retracts, moving the hook member linearly along the base plate when the hook actuation arm extends and retracts, causing the hook member to move the trap door selectively between the closed position and the open position.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2013Publication date: April 3, 2014Inventor: Mark Hoffmann

Patent number: 5500806Abstract: A voltage regulator controller including three types of data logs which are operator selectable and configurable. An operator can enable data logging to occur at specific times and intervals. The voltage regulator controller includes a real time clock/calendar and interval timer to support this function. In a preferred embodiment, the controller includes an event log, a snapshot interval log and a minimum/maximum metered parameter log. Advantageously, the event log can be programmed to monitor configuration changes made from the voltage regulator controller's front panel or from a remote device. The voltage regulator controller also includes a memory card interface which enables the log contents to be uploaded to a removable PCMCIA standard memory card.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 1993Date of Patent: March 19, 1996Assignee: Siemens Energy & Automation, Inc.Inventors: Michael A.
