Patent number: 9665817Abstract: A computer-implemented technique can receive, at a computing device, a uniform resource locator (URL) for a web page and an image. A number of pixels corresponding to a desired resolution for encoding the image is determined and the image is converted to a modified image having the desired resolution. The technique can then generate a two-dimensional barcode by: (i) generating first data representative of the modified image, (ii) appending the first data to either an end of the URL to obtain a first modified URL or after a terminator bit of the two-dimensional barcode, (iii) generating second data representative of the second modified URL or the URL, and (iv) generating third data representative of an error correction code (ECC) based on the first data and the second data, wherein the two-dimensional barcode is generated based on the first data, the second data, and the third data.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2015Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: David K.

Patent number: 9551790Abstract: A method including placing first and second measurement devices proximate first and second aircraft doors, respectively, and determining a first position of the second measurement device relative to a second position of the first measurement device. The method includes placing first and second pluralities of reflective devices inside the aircraft proximate the first and second doors, respectively. The method includes measuring first and second distances from the first and second measurement devices to the first and second pluralities of reflective devices, respectively, and measuring second distances from the second measurement device to the second plurality of reflective devices. Based on a determined position of the second measurement device and further based on the first distances and second distances, third distances are determined between each of the first and second pluralities of reflective devices. The third distances provide a measurement baseline for points on a fuselage and wings.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2014Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANYInventors: Bobby Joe Marsh, Michael Anthony Lazar, Kinson D.

Patent number: 9286887Abstract: A method and apparatus derive a dynamic grammar composed of a subset of a plurality of data elements that are each associated with one of a plurality of reference identifiers. The present invention generates a set of selection identifiers on the basis of a user-provided first input identifier and determines which of these selection identifiers are present in a set of pre-stored reference identifiers. The present invention creates a dynamic grammar that includes those data elements that are associated with those reference identifiers that are matched to any of the selection identifiers. Based on a user-provided second identifier and on the data elements of the dynamic grammar, the present invention selects one of the reference identifiers in the dynamic grammar.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2014Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property II, L.P.Inventors: Deborah W.

Publication number: 20140250048Abstract: A relational event history is determined based on a data set, the relational event history. Data is populated in a probability model based on the relational event history, where the probability model is formulated as a series of conditional probabilities that correspond to a set of sequential decisions by an actor for each relational event, where the set of sequential decisions includes at least two decisions as to recipients of a relational event, where the probability model includes one or more statistical parameters and corresponding statistics that relate to one or more of senders, modes, topics, or recipients of relational events. A baseline communications behavior for the relational event history is determined based on the populated probability model, the baseline including a first set of values for the one or more statistical parameters, and departures within the relational event history from the baseline communications behavior are determined.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2014Publication date: September 4, 2014Applicant: RedOwl Analytics, Inc.Inventors: Josh Lospinoso, Guy Louis Filippelli, Michael Marcus Gruen
