Patent number: 11965490Abstract: An energy storage system and method that enables gravity-based energy storage to have a significantly larger capacity in a single shaft for given capital cost and thus an improved cost per unit energy for large scale energy storage as well as enabling continuity of power input and output at an external connection point across the extent of the system's energy capacity comprises a multi-weight storage system having at least two weights, two transporters each with a transporter linkage that can be coupled to and decoupled from the respective weight and for transporting the weight along a pre-defined path defining a vertical displacement and defining a respective path volume, a second linkage path volume defined by the area of the second linkage decoupled from a weight and developed or swept along a respective pre-defined vertically displaced path, wherein the second linkage path volume does not overlap with the first path volume.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2020Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Inventors: Miles Franklin, Peter Fraenkel

Publication number: 20240081281Abstract: An automatic animal feeding system is provided. Embodiments of the automatic animal feeding system include an automatic food dispenser and a food canister storing food pods. The automatic food dispenser couples to the food canister, receives a food pod form the food canister, removes a cover or lid from the food pod, presents the opened food pod for pet consumption, disposes of the food pod into a disposal compartment that is sealed off from the ambient air, and implements other steps of an automatic feeding process. Aspects of the automatic feeding process can be efficiently implemented, for example, by actuating two motors based on data received from sensors of the automatic animal feeding system. Accordingly, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a compact, control-efficient, self-cleaning automatic animal feeding system that can continuously personalize feeding patterns or feed a pet with little to no human intervention over a period of time.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Peter FRANKLIN, Jeffrey PON, Matthew FIRLIK, Eric LIU, George TURVEY, Charles PUTLAND

Publication number: 20210366577Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure include implementing a ML-enabled cellular disease model for validating an intervention, identifying patient populations that are likely responders to an intervention, and developing a therapeutic structure-activity relationship screen. To generate a cellular disease model, data is combined from human genetic cohorts, from the literature, and from general-purpose cellular or tissue-level genomic data to unravel the set of factors (e.g., genetic, environmental, cellular factors) that give rise to a particular disease. In vitro cells are engineered using the set of factors to generate training data for training machine learning models that are useful for implementing cellular disease models.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2021Publication date: November 25, 2021Inventors: Daphne Koller, Ajamete Kaykas, Eilon Sharon, Cecilia Giovanna Silvia Cotta-Ramusino, Peter Franklin Palmedo, JR., Mohammad Muneeb Sultan, Panagiotis Dimitrios Stanitsas, Francesco Paolo Casale, Adam Joseph Riesselman, Lorn Kategaya, Max R.
