Patent number: 11972442Abstract: Techniques and embodiments are described herein for detecting and mitigating fraudulent activity within user experience (UX) test applications. In some embodiments, a system applies a set of rules and/or machine learning (ML) models to each respondent of an online survey or UX test. Different ML models may be trained to learn domain-specific patterns indicative of fraudulent activity. The system may then select the ML models based on attributes of the UX test and/or respondent. The selected rules and/or ML models may generate a probabilistic score representing a likelihood that the respondent is currently engaging in or will engage in fraudulent activity with respect to a UX test. If the score exceeds a threshold, then the system may take action to mitigate the fraudulent activity, such as triggering the removal of the user from an accepted respondent pool, halting further engagement between the respondent and the UX test, and generating alerts.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2023Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Wevo, Inc.Inventors: Dustin Garvey, Shannon Walsh, Frank Chiang, Janet Muto, Nitzan Shaer, Hannah Sieber, Charlie Hoang, Alexa Stewart, Keith Horvath, Marshall McCready, Laurie Delaney, Jon Andrews

Publication number: 20240018740Abstract: This invention related to a coupler for securing an attachment to an earth working machine. The coupler comprises a coupler body that presents a receptacle having a capture region. A pin of an attachment can move into and out of the capture region. A retainer can capture the pin in the capture region but the retainer can be moved by a hydraulically driven driver to a position to allow release the pin from the capture region. A trigger that the pin will strike when the pin moves into or out of the capture region, decouples the driver from the retainer and the retainer is then allowed to be biased back to its retaining position by a spring.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 28, 2023Publication date: January 18, 2024Applicant: WEDGELOCK EQUIPMENT LIMITEDInventors: Andre Richard ANDERSON, Marshall Andrew Stewart HANLON, Garth Colin KEIGHLEY, Andrew James Phillip RIDER, Michael Hugh James RIDER

Patent number: 10940814Abstract: The present invention relates to a dispenser module for converting preexisting analog systems into a customizable digital system. According to an illustrative embodiment of the present disclosure, a user can utilize preexisting analog equipment to operate and control a dispenser module. A squib is electrically connected to a logic circuit such that the normal “firing” of the original payload at that location will cause a change in the state of the electrical circuit. Because there are multiple payload allocations within one module, this allows electrical communication with individual/select payload devices by an operator. Payloads in the module can be quickly swapped in and out without making any changes to the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2019Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Marshall Andrew Mullins, Charles Robert Upton, Mark Alan Anderson, Timothy Bradley, Eric Alan Hillenbrand

Patent number: 8200711Abstract: A project directory structure of an application or service is mapped to a package directory structure. A package is built for the application or service by copying files from the project directory structure to the package directory structure in accordance with the mapping. An event trigger is detected, wherein the event trigger is one of a new file, a modified file, or a deleted file in the project directory structure. An updated package is built for the application or service by performing an appropriate one of copying the new file to the package directory structure, replacing an existing file in the package directory structure with the modified file, or deleting a file in the package directory structure that corresponds to the deleted file in the project directory structure.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2011Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Assignee: Red Hat, Inc.Inventor: Marshall Andrew Culpepper

Patent number: 4006047Abstract: A method for the metallization of a nonconductive surface with gold, nickel or copper whereby on a nonconductive, relatively low temperature surface (such as a polyester or a polyolefin) a thermosensitive coordination complex of palladium (or platinum) is deposited from a solvent; the complex has the general formula LmPdXn wherein L is a ligand or unsaturated organic radical, X is a halide, alkyl group or a bidentate ligand and m is an integer from 1 to 4 and n is from 0 to 3; bis-benzonitrile palladium dichloride complex is an appropriate illustration; the palladium complex is applied in a thin film from a suitable nonaqueous solution solvent such as xylene, toluene or a chlorobenzene onto the surface of the nonconductive material and that thin film is thermally decomposed, such as by an infrared irradiation; the method in the preferred embodiment can be practiced without the necessity of surface etching or similar chemical conditioning of the polyester, polyamide, polyvinyl chloride, or polyolefin substrateType: GrantFiled: November 8, 1974Date of Patent: February 1, 1977Assignee: AMP IncorporatedInventors: Charles Roscoe Brummett, Ray Ned Shaak, Daniel Marshall Andrews

Patent number: 3964084Abstract: A Schottky barrier contact includes a thin layer of high carrier concentration impurities ion implanted over the contact surface of the semiconductor. This reduces the electronic barrier height, increases the tunneling component, and thus reduces the forward-bias turn-on voltage of the diode. The implanted layer has a carrier concentration at least ten times that of the semiconductor substrate, and a thickness smaller than the width of the inherent depletion region resulting from the internally generated electric field at the metal-semiconductor interface. An implanted layer of the opposite conductivity type raises the barrier height.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 1974Date of Patent: June 15, 1976Assignee: Bell Telephone Laboratories, IncorporatedInventors: John Marshall Andrews, Jr., Robert Morgan Ryder, Simon Min Sze
