Publication number: 20250217352Abstract: Implementations claimed and described herein provide systems and methods for responding to a query associated with a product or service. The systems and methods use a machine learning model to generate a recommendation and a user interface. The recommendation is transmitted to a user device for display via the user interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2024Publication date: July 3, 2025Inventors: Marvin LU, Peter BOUCHARD, Katherine Rose SWINDLER, Morgan MOSKY, Reuel Neil JOSE, Umamaheshwar R. UPPADA, Raja Sekhar THIRUVATHURU, Thomas CROSSE

Publication number: 20250104090Abstract: Implementations described herein provide systems, methods, and devices for greenhouse gas monitoring and control. The systems, methods, and devices include a device detection system which identifies device identifier(s) corresponding to device(s) associated with a user. The device(s) include at least one of an electric vehicle, a home device, a power system device, or a power system device. Upon detecting the device(s), a user behavior analyzer receives energy consumption-related data from the device(s) resulting from energy consumption behavior of the user. The system determines, based on the energy consumption-related data, one or more behavior metrics of the user. A reduction integration generator identifies an energy consumption reduction integration corresponding to the one or more behavior metrics (e.g.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2023Publication date: March 27, 2025Inventors: Howard Hayes, Timothy W.

Patent number: 8321378Abstract: Methods and apparatus for managing information related to backup storage activities of data storage systems. In a computer system having one or more independent backup data storage systems coupled to each other and each serving one or more clients, a user may obtain information related to backup activities of any of the backup storage systems from a single location. Through a user interface associated with any of the backup storage systems, or through a stand alone user interface, a user may manage (e.g., organize, display, print) information related to backup activities of any or all of the backup storage systems. System administrators can design and store a variety of report formats that may be utilized by any user to display or print various parameters associated with backup activities in a particular manner. Report formats may be edited by users, and displayed parameters may be dynamically updated to provide for active monitoring of one or more backup storage systems.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2008Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: EMC CorporationInventors: Jeffrey Phillips, David Allen, Brett Serkez, Peter Bouchard

Patent number: 8132273Abstract: A toilet fill valve having a mechanism for preventing leakage from a tank of the toilet between flush cycles. The mechanism includes links that are normally locked to prevent the fill valve from opening. The links are operatively connected to a handle of the toilet such that the links are unlocked and allow the fill valve to open only when the handle of the toilet is purposely operated to initiate a flush cycle. Otherwise, the links do not allow the fill valve to open even if water leaks from the tank and causes a float of the fill valve to be lowered.Type: GrantFiled: February 29, 2008Date of Patent: March 13, 2012Assignee: Watts Water Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Peter Bouchard

Patent number: 7810034Abstract: A backup reporting framework Graphical User Interface (GUI) comprises a combination of components that make it possible to display a Reporting GUI to the customer on the customer's desktop. The framework includes three main components, a server component, a wag-server middleware component, and a monitor server middleware component. The Server Component handles all the operations necessary to start the GUI or Command Line Interface (CLI) interaction with the Middleware Components. The WAG Server Middleware component provides a mechanism for the client application to interact with the server. The WAG Server component gives the client side applications access to data resident on the server and allow for command and control from the client side. The monitor server middleware component also provides a mechanism for the client application to interact with the server. It gives the client side application access to data resident on the server and allows for command and control from the client side.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2008Date of Patent: October 5, 2010Assignee: EMC CorporationInventors: Anthony J. Franceschelli, Jr., Jeffrey S. Phillips, Peter Bouchard, Serena Doyle
