Publication number: 20240129259Abstract: A durability assessment system may receive a request, from a computing system, for a durability index describing an entity. The durability assessment system may determine the durability index based on information about the resource usage by the entity, such as a resource availability score or a resource allocation score. The durability assessment system may compare the obtained resource availability score and resource allocation score to ranges associated with a set of durability indices. Based on the comparison, the durability assessment system may determine a durability index for the entity. The durability index may indicate an ability of the entity to return accessed resources. In some cases, the durability assessment system may provide the durability index to an allocation computing system that is configured to determine whether to grant access to resources based on the durability index.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Todd Duncan HOOVER, Brandi Nicole RECKER, William Charles GATES, Sean Patrick MCKEOWN, Matthew Richard JACKSON, Dinesh Hiro WADHWANI

Patent number: 11816269Abstract: Systems, methods, devices and non-transitory, computer-readable storage mediums are disclosed for gesture recognition for a wearable multimedia device using real-time data streams. In an embodiment, a method comprises: detecting a trigger event from one or more real-time data streams running on a wearable multimedia device; taking one or more data snapshots of the one or more real-time data streams; inferring user intent from the one or more data snapshots; and selecting a service or preparing content for the user based on the inferred user intent. In an embodiment, a hand and finger pointing direction is determined from a depth image, a 2D bounding box for the hand/finger is projected into a 2D image space and compared to bounding boxes for identified/labeled objects in the 2D image space to identify an object that the hand is holding or the finger is pointing toward.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2021Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: Humane, Inc.Inventors: Imran A.

Publication number: 20230339620Abstract: A method is provided for operating an aircraft having a first propulsion unit and a second propulsion unit. During this method a propulsion unit-inoperative event is identified where the first propulsion unit is inoperative and the second propulsion unit is operative. A trimmed parameter for the second propulsion unit is converted to an actual parameter for the second propulsion unit. The actual parameter is monitored over a period of time the second propulsion unit operates during the propulsion unit-inoperative event. An action is performed in response to determining that the second propulsion unit has operated for at least a time threshold with the actual parameter being equal to or greater than a parameter threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2022Publication date: October 26, 2023Inventors: Patrick Gates, Melanie Papillon

Patent number: 11522866Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a program for recovering access to a service associated with an account. The program provides a login credential to log into the account to receive the associated service. Next, the program receives an access continuation parameter (ACP) after logging into the account. The program then accesses the service and receives a rejection of a subsequent access to the service. The program then provides the ACP in lieu of the login credential to continue to receive the service.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2021Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Ivan Krstic, James Wilson, Eric Daniel Friedman, Selvarajan Subramaniam, Patrice O.

Patent number: 10837312Abstract: A braking system for the low pressure spool of a gas turbine engine includes a braking assembly connected to the low pressure spool and reversibly configurable between an actuated state and an unactuated state. The braking assembly in the unactuated state allows rotation of the low pressure spool without interference. The braking assembly in the actuated state applies a force opposing the rotation of the low pressure spool. A method of controlling the speed of rotation of a low pressure spool and a method of controlling the speed of rotation of low and high pressure spools are also discussed.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2015Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: PRATT & WHITNEY CANADA CORP.Inventors: Patrick Gates, Olivier Bibor

Patent number: 10063557Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a program for recovering access to an account. The program receives an access recovery parameter (ARP) after providing a first credential to log into an account and providing a notification of a second credential necessary for accessing another resource. The program then receives a request to modify the first credential and receives the second credential. Next, after authenticating the second credential, the program uses the ARP to modify the first credential without providing the first credential.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2015Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Ivan Krstic, James Wilson, Eric Daniel Friedman, Selvarajan Subramaniam, Patrice O.

Patent number: 9838474Abstract: The described embodiments distribute and synchronize objects in a network. More specifically, the described embodiments distribute copies of objects locally (i.e., store copies of objects in local address spaces). By storing a copy of a given object in a local address space, the object's methods may be executed locally, which can help to avoid excessive network traffic associated with remotely executing the object's methods. However, executing an object's methods locally can result in the state of the object (i.e., data associated with the object, etc.) becoming out of sync with other copies of the object in the network. To avoid issues associated with unsynchronized copies of the object in the network, the described embodiments use a policy that specifies conditions under which objects are to be synchronized.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2016Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Patrick Gates, Craig Federighi, Eric Noyau

Patent number: 9654551Abstract: An invitation service performs a series of transactions to enable P2P communication between two or more mobile data processing devices. Prior to attempting to establish a P2P network communication channel, the invitation service may first collect network information for each of the mobile devices and use the network information to determine if a direct P2P network communication channel is feasible. If a direct connection is feasible, then the invitation service provides for direct P2P communication, pushing the necessary network information to each of the mobile devices. If a direct connection is infeasible, or an attempted direct connection fails, then the invitation service may identify network information associated with a relay service. The network information may then be used by any pair of mobile devices to establish a connection through the relay service. The invitation service can perform its functions without maintaining per-connection state information for the mobile devices.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2013Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Andrew H. Vyrros, Jeremy Matthew Werner, Patrick Gates

Patent number: 9577976Abstract: Registering a client computing device for online communication sessions. A registration server receives a message that has a push token that is unique to the client computing device and a phone number of the client computing device from an SMS (Short Message Service) transit device, which received an SMS message having the push token from the client computing device and determined the phone number of the client computing device from that SMS message. The registration server associates the push token and the phone number and stores it in a registration data store, which is used for inviting users for online communication sessions.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2014Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Arun Mathias, Justin Santamaria, Justin Wood, Joe Abuan, Jeremy Brown, Patrick Gates, Matthew Klahn, Andrew H.
