Publication number: 20240037508Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for optimizing benefits plan options offered by an organization through balancing derived population preferences with organizational preferences by analyzing historical selections made by individuals. Census data dividing members of an organization into census divisions may be applied to machine learning algorithm(s) to derive estimated selection preferences of the members. Using selection preferences, costs of various product offering scenarios and overall member satisfaction estimates of the scenarios may be calculated. Product offering scenarios meeting member preference criteria and organizational budget criteria may be presented for review.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Applicant: AON GLOBAL OPERATIONS SE, SINGAPORE BRANCHInventors: Michael MORROW, Salina SHAH, Todor PENEV, Andy RALLIS, Kartick SUBRAMANIAN

Patent number: 11864539Abstract: An aquaculture system can include stacked growth trays. Animals, such as shrimp, can be transferred between the growth trays for different stages of growth. Waste water can be removed from the growth trays and can be processed by a water treatment system. Treated water can be returned to the growth trays. A valve in a first configuration can permit water to circulate through the growth tray, while impeding the animals from exiting the growth tray. In a second configuration, the valve can permit the animals to exit the growth tray, such as for transition to a subsequent growth tray. A sweeper system can be used for cleaning and/or mixing the water in the growth tray, and/or for pushing the animals out of the growth tray during a transition.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2020Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Grand Shrimp, LLCInventors: Johan Perslow, Andrew Komor, Michael Morrow

Patent number: 11593117Abstract: Various aspects disclosed herein relate to combining instructions to load data from or store data in memory while processing instructions in a computer processor. More particularly, at least one pattern of multiple memory access instructions that reference a common base register and do not fully utilize an available bus width may be identified in a processor pipeline. In response to determining that the multiple memory access instructions target adjacent memory or non-contiguous memory that can fit on a single cache line, the multiple memory access instructions may be replaced within the processor pipeline with one equivalent memory access instruction that utilizes more of the available bus width than either of the replaced memory access instructions.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2018Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: Qualcomm IncorporatedInventors: Harsh Thakker, Thomas Philip Speier, Rodney Wayne Smith, Kevin Jaget, James Norris Dieffenderfer, Michael Morrow, Pritha Ghoshal, Yusuf Cagatay Tekmen, Brian Stempel, Sang Hoon Lee, Manish Garg

Patent number: 11167720Abstract: A seatbelt buckle assembly is configured for attachment to a vehicle seat frame in a manner that permits a strap of the assembly to pass through narrow openings or gaps of the seat frame before a fastener is used for the attachment. A collar having a flange and a sleeve can be used to retain other buckle assembly components to the strap without the aid of the fastener. The assembly is particularly useful with fold-flat seats where the seatbelt buckle must fold together with the seat back and then be returned to a use position when the seat is unfolded.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2019Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: FAURECIA AUTOMOTIVE SEATING, LLCInventors: Michael Morrow, Emmanuel Pellerin

Publication number: 20210244200Abstract: A structure or apparatus for attaching accessories or monitor arms to the post of an monitor or display stand. The apparatus included a collar or collet for selectively attaching to a post of the stand, the collet or collar includes a plurality of slots or keyways or receivers about its circumference, the collar or collet including a retainer to selectively allow access to the slots to allow accessories to the placed in the slots or secured in the slots. The plurality of slots allows the accessories to be placed in different orientations or positions with respect to one another. The accessories have profile portions that are complimentary to the receivers.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2021Publication date: August 12, 2021Inventors: Roger Landon Webb, Antonio Jose Fernandes da Costa, Brent Ralph Marchant, Alex Joseph Frank, Travis Jordan Rogers, Christopher Michael Morrow, Cristoval Adrian Gutierrez, Tai Hoon K.
