Publication number: 20250225471Abstract: Delivery system and method for securely delivering a package including housings or storage units positioned at a wall, door, or a roof of a structure. The delivery system includes a hatch operatively connected to the storage units. The delivery system includes sensors configured to detect presence of a package in the storage units. The delivery system includes a controller operatively connected to the storage units, the hatch, and the sensors. The controller detects the presence of a delivery device that is configured to carry the packages for delivery into the storage units. The delivery device includes a drone, or an electronic device operated by a delivery agent. The controller verifies the delivery device and opens the hatch to provide access for the delivery device to place the package in the storage units. The controller notifies and authenticates a user to provide access to retrieve the packages from the storage units.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2025Publication date: July 10, 2025Inventor: Matthew Warner

Publication number: 20250200502Abstract: A delivery system and method of securely delivering a package is disclosed. The delivery system includes housings positioned at a wall or door of a structure. Each housing is separated by a function. The housings are used for receiving food and groceries, and packages. Each housing is unlocked separately by a specific security code or Quick Response (QR) code scan via a keypad. When a delivery provider approaches, the delivery system prompts to type in the security code issued at the time of a shipment order. The security code entered is authenticated to allow access to the appropriate housing for delivery drop-off. The delivery system ensures only authorized delivery providers gain access to deliver the packages and/or food and groceries. The delivery system includes an image capturing unit for capturing images and providing a real-time knowledge of when the delivery is made to the owner or intended recipient.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2024Publication date: June 19, 2025Inventor: Matthew Warner

Publication number: 20240346764Abstract: A method for modelling a thermal environment of an electronic device is provided. The method includes obtaining a volumetric mesh representation of a region of three-dimensional space including the electronic device and a surrounding medium. A computational model for modelling the thermal environment of the region of space is determined based on the mesh representation and a set of thermal parameters for the plurality of mesh cells, and the computational model is evaluated to determine the thermal environment in each mesh cell of the mesh representation. The computational model includes an embedding of a boundary condition independent reduced order model of at least one component of the electronic device into a model of the surrounding medium.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2024Publication date: October 17, 2024Inventors: Jin Liu, Mahmood Alkhenaizi, Byron Blackmore, Robin Bornoff, Matthew Warner

Publication number: 20230169233Abstract: A method, executed by at least one processor of a computer, of generating a heatsink configuration meeting a predetermined performance constraint is disclosed. The method includes establishing an initial heatsink configuration having a heatsink base including at least one layer formed of a plurality of tessellated rods and setting a thermal evaluation parameter. An initial thermal simulation of a heat source positioned proximate the heatsink base is performed to determine the initial thermal performance of the heatsink. Based on the initial thermal simulation, three revised heatsink configurations are examined, and simulations are carried out to generate first, second, and third revised thermal performances. These are compared with an initial thermal performance, and the heatsink configuration showing the greatest improvement in thermal performance compared with the initial thermal performance is selected.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2020Publication date: June 1, 2023Inventors: Robin Bornoff, John Parry, Matthew Warner
