Patent number: 11981201Abstract: A drive mechanism that connects to a rotary drive component for transferring rotary motion to another component. The drive mechanism may be a conversion assembly to facilitate a connection to an existing rotary drive component and transfer the rotary motion to another component. The drive mechanism may include a drive shaft, a housing with a rotary bearing and seal, an enclosure and a drive pulley or other transfer component. The drive shaft may include a cap and flange to connect to a rotary drum and extend to a drive pulley in an enclosure.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2022Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: TSI Products, Inc.Inventors: Stephen William O'Brien, Todd Michael Coleman, Christopher Delmont Corfman, Charles J. Martis, Kerry Wayne Whitaker

Patent number: 11960832Abstract: Machine learning, artificial intelligence, and other computer-implemented methods are used to identify various semantically important chunks in documents, automatically label them with appropriate datatypes and semantic roles, and use this enhanced information to assist authors and to support downstream processes. Chunk locations, datatypes, and semantic roles can often be automatically determined from what is here called “context”, to wit, the combination of their formatting, structure, and content; those of adjacent or nearby content; overall patterns of occurrence in a document, and similarities of all these things across documents (mainly but not exclusively among documents in the same document set).Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Docugami, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Paul Begun, Steven DeRose, Taqi Jaffri, Luis Marti Orosa, Michael B. Palmer, Jean Paoli, Christina Pavlopoulou, Elena Pricoiu, Swagatika Sarangi, Marcin Sawicki, Manar Shehadeh, Michael Taron, Bhaven Toprani, Zubin Rustom Wadia, David Watson, Eric White, Joshua Yongshin Fan, Kush Gupta, Andrew Minh Hoang, Zhanlin Liu, Jerome George Paliakkara, Zhaofeng Wu, Yue Zhang, Xiaoquan Zhou

Patent number: 11934961Abstract: A mobile device with a route prediction engine is provided that can predict current/future destinations or routes to destinations for the user, and can relay prediction information to the user. The engine includes a machine-learning engine that facilitates the formulation of predicted future destinations and/or future routes to destinations based on user-specific data. The user-specific data includes data about (1) previous destinations traveled, (2) previous routes taken, (3) locations of calendared events, (4) locations of events for which the user has electronic tickets, and/or (5) addresses parsed from e-mails and/or messages. The prediction engine relies on one or more of user-specific data stored on the device and data stored outside of the device by external devices/servers.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Christine B. McGavran, Bradford A. Moore, Gregory D. Bolsinga, Michael P. Dal Santo, Lukas Marti, Seejo K. Pylappan, Marcel van Os

Publication number: 20230196836Abstract: The technology provides a computing device having a human presence sensor module. An image sensor of the human presence sensor module captures imagery, and the imagery is not disseminated outside of the human presence sensor module to another part of the computing device. One or more machine learning models, each trained to identify whether one or more persons are present in the imagery, are retrieved from memory within the human presence sensor module. The imagery received from the image sensor is processed using the one or more machine learning models to determine whether one or more persons are present in the imagery. Upon detection that one or more persons are present in the imagery, the human presence sensor module issues a signal to an operating system of the computing device so that the computing device can respond to that presence by performing one or more actions.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 11, 2022Publication date: June 22, 2023Inventors: Megha Malpani, Jon Napper, Alan Green, Aneesha Govil, Stuart Langley, Ken Hoetmer, Christopher Igo, Fei Wu, Jakub Mlynarczyk, Evan Benn, Edward O'Callaghan, Andrew McRae, David Lattimore, Dan Callaghan, Eddy Chen, Boris Lee, Tim Callahan, Guoxing Zhao, Rachael Morgan, Michael Martis, Sitar Harel, Ryosuke Matsumoto

Patent number: 11343599Abstract: An optical network includes an arrangement of optical nodes. An optical node of the arrangement, and corresponding method, perform optical connectivity discovery and negotiation-less optical fiber continuity verification in the optical network. An overall topology of optical connectivity provisioned for the arrangement is discovered by the optical node based on messages received from a management network communicatively coupling the optical nodes to each other. The optical node synchronizes, temporally and sequentially, with the other optical nodes based on the messages received, assigns fiber of the overall topology, based on a verification sequencing method, to verification slots of a verification sequence, and verifies continuity of fiber according to the verification slots of the verification sequence.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2021Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: XIEON NETWORKS S.a.r.l.Inventors: Michael Marti, Rafael da Costa Miranda, Nuno Miguel Pires da Costa Pereira

Patent number: 10007675Abstract: A method of maintaining a database for a plurality of vehicles includes obtaining first sensor data from a vehicle sensor and comparing the first sensor data to data in the database. If the first sensor data does not match the database data, it is determined whether data from a single vehicle sensor or from a plurality of vehicle sensors is required to update the database. The database is updated if consistent data from a required number of vehicle sensors is available. A loss of database integrity is identified if data from a plurality of vehicle sensors is required to update the database but is not available. Anomalous driving is identified if data from a plurality of vehicle sensors is required to update the database and is available, and if the first sensor data is not confirmed by data from other vehicle sensors.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2007Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Lukas Michael Marti, Jorge Sans Sangorrin

Patent number: 7879748Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for manufacturing a catalyst composition. In one embodiment, a method for manufacturing a catalyst can comprise: forming a catalyst composition from a catalyst precursor and a volatile compound, disposing the catalyst composition on a substrate to form a supported composition, treating the supported composition with electromagnetic radiation, and removing at least a portion of the volatile compound to form the catalyst. In another embodiment, the method for manufacturing a catalyst can comprise: forming a catalyst composition comprising a volatile compound and a catalyst precursor, disposing the catalyst composition onto a substrate, and drying the catalyst composition at a temperature greater than or equal to a dew point of the volatile compound and less than or equal to a decomposition temperature of the catalyst precursor.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2006Date of Patent: February 1, 2011Assignee: Umicore AG & Co.
