Publication number: 20240046804Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for utilizing non-RAM memory to implement calculating a first wind metric over a geographic area. wherein the first wind metric reflects total wind velocity vector differences. The method further calculates a second wind metric over the geographic area, wherein the second wind metric reflects a horizontal wind gradient near obstacles. The method further generates a first data set of the first wind metric and a second data set of the second wind metric and combines the first data set and the second data set into a combined data set representing a combination of the first wind metric and the second wind metric. The combined data set represents wind hazards in an urban environment with buildings and is used to identify or generate low altitude flighted vehicle navigation paths for urban flighted vehicles, such as drones or air taxis.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2022Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventors: MIKE ROBINSON, Victor E. Klimenko

Patent number: 9509650Abstract: Electronic message management with conversation participation status is enabled. Accordingly, time may be saved and lost productivity due to overload of messages may be reduced. Electronic conversations may be associated with a set of participants. Each participant may have a varying and/or changing level of interest in the conversation. Each participant may specify a conversation participation status and the conversation participation status and/or user status of each participant may be communicated and/or presented to each of the other participants. Messaging clients may change presentation of conversations and/or electronic messages for a participant based on the participant's specified conversation participation status. Participants sending messages may specify message status specific for each participant to alter treatment of message that would be based on participant status and/or conversation participation status when message is received by each participant.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2014Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: BetterEmailing, LLCInventors: Ganesh Puranik, Mike Robinson

Patent number: 8755747Abstract: Techniques to control shared antenna architectures for multiple co-located radio modules are disclosed. The shared antenna architecture may include a combiner and at least one bypass switch for enabling simultaneous operations or mutually-exclusive operations of multiple transceivers. Dynamic gain control is employed to accommodate different front-end losses associated with a variety of signal paths that are achievable using the switch and combiner. Such dynamic gain control can include selecting from multiple sets of amplifier gain values that are tailored to meet the needs of the particular applications that are active at a particular time. Gain values can be chosen based upon received gain information including characteristics including a desired path loss, an application demand, a radio module type, a path configuration, and a mode of operation. By providing dynamic selection of gain values based on application demands, range and throughput of the transceivers can be attained.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2011Date of Patent: June 17, 2014Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Mike Robinson, James Beninghaus
