Publication number: 20240186129Abstract: A night vision system, a microchannel plate (MCP), and a planetary deposition system and methodology are provided for selectively depositing an electrode contact metal on one side of MCP channel openings. MCPs can be secured to a face of a platter that rotates about its central platter axis. The rotating platter can be tilted on a fixture surrounding an evaporative source of contact metal. A mask with a variable size mask opening is arranged between the rotating platter and the evaporative source. While the mask orbits around the evaporative source with the rotating platter, the mask does not rotate along its own axis as does the rotating platter. Depending on the opening of the non-rotating mask, and the tilt angle of the rotating platter, the respective circumferential distance around and the depth into the shaded first side of the channel opening is controlled.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2024Publication date: June 6, 2024Inventors: Stephen Carroll, William J. Baney, Cooper Gray Temple, Matthew Robert Curtis

Patent number: 11948786Abstract: A night vision system, a microchannel plate (MCP), and a planetary deposition system and methodology are provided for selectively depositing an electrode contact metal on one side of MCP channel openings. One or more MCPs can be releasably secured to a face of a platter that rotates about its central platter axis. The rotating platter can be tilted on a rotating ring fixture surrounding an evaporative source of contact metal. Therefore, the rotating platter further rotates so that it orbits around the evaporative source of contact metal. A mask with a variable size mask opening is arranged between the rotating platter and the evaporative source. While the mask orbits around the evaporative source with the rotating platter, the mask does not rotate along its own axis as does the rotating platter.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Elbit Systems of America, LLCInventors: Stephen Carroll, William J.

Patent number: 11928526Abstract: Techniques for standardizing a catalog of data and for using the standardized data to implement various APIs are disclosed. Non-standardized data is received. This data includes information describing items, customer information, and unstructured review data. The non-standardized data is converted to a standardized format, resulting in the generation of standardized data. The standardized data includes a hierarchy of defined categories. Each category is associated with a set of attribute types. The standardized data also includes anonymized profiles. The unstructured review data is also provided structure. A data model is generated based on the standardized data.

Patent number: 11852753Abstract: A sensor (e.g., an optical sensor) is disposed in an enclosure that separates it from an external environment. The enclosure includes an aperture comprising a transparent material. A laminate comprising a plurality of transparent films is coupled to the aperture such that the sensor has a field of view of the external environment through the transparent material of the aperture and the plurality of transparent films. The laminate includes an exposed transparent film that is exposed to the external environment and that is removable to expose an underlying film in the laminate when dirt, debris, or other obscuring material has collected on it. A laminate module that includes the laminate, a laminate sensor, and a peeling mechanism may be removably mounted on the aperture. The laminate sensor can sense the number of transparent films remaining in the laminate. The peeling mechanism can peel away individual transparent films in the laminate.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2019Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: Waymo LLCInventors: William Grossman, Troy Scott Storz, Matthew Carroll

Patent number: 11055371Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to using smart data filters to create multi-threaded profiles. A computing platform may generate a multi-threaded profile corresponding to a user. Thereafter, the computing platform may receive, via the communication interface and from a user device, external event information corresponding to the multi-threaded profile. Then, the computing platform may determine, based on the external event information, a filter bank corresponding to a first thread of the multi-threaded profile. Subsequently, the computing platform may determine, based on the external event information and the filter bank, a time to live parameter corresponding to the external event information. Next, the computing platform may retrieve, from a multi-threaded profile server and based on the multi-threaded profile and the filter bank, first thread information corresponding to the first thread of the multi-threaded profile.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2017Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Manu Kurian, Matthew Carroll

Patent number: 10838798Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to error resolution processing systems with improved error prediction features and enhanced resolution techniques. A computing platform may receive error log files identifying error codes corresponding to error occurrences on one or more different virtual machine host platforms. The computing platform may aggregate the error codes corresponding to the error occurrences to generate an error lattice. Using the error lattice, the computing platform may predict an error outcome. Based on the predicted error outcome, the computing platform may determine a system configuration update to be applied to the one or more virtual machine host platforms. The computing platform may direct a dynamic resource management computing platform to distribute relevant portions of the system configuration update to each of the one or more virtual machine host platforms. This may cause the one or more virtual machine host platforms to implement the system configuration update.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2018Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Manu Kurian, Sriram Ramachandran, Matthew Carroll

Patent number: 10540947Abstract: Embodiments of a capo and fretting component are described. In certain embodiments, the fretting component is threaded onto a crossbar configured to overlie the instrument strings when in use and to pivot with respect to the crossbar so as to contact and press the strings against a fret on the instrument neck. The fretting component is offset with respect to the attachment mechanism of the capo, allowing the attachment mechanism to be offset on the neck of the instrument from where it would normally be positioned to achieve a comparable fretting effect.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2017Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: William Marsh Rice UniversityInventors: Daniel Curtis Blacker, Matthew Carroll, John Vinson Jaggers
