Patent number: 11953911Abstract: A vehicle has a plurality of control apparatuses, a user input, a geographic position component, an object detection apparatus, memory, and a display. A processor is also included and is programmed to receive the destination information, identify a route, and determine the current geographic location of the vehicle. The processor is also programmed to identify an object and object type based on object information received from the object detection apparatus and to determine at least one warning characteristic of the identified object based on at least one of: the object type, a detected proximity of the detected object to the vehicle, the location of the detected object relative to predetermined peripheral areas of the vehicle, the current geographic location of the vehicle, and the route. The processor is also configured to select and display on the display an object warning image based on the at least one warning characteristic.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2020Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Waymo LLCInventors: Robertus Christianus Elisabeth Mariet, Manuel Christian Clement, Philip Nemec, Brian Douglas Cullinane

Publication number: 20240070646Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for generating a virtual card number (VCN) associated with a credit card having a primary account number (PAN). The algorithm used matches the last 4 digits of the VCN to the last 4 digits of the PAN. By matching the last 4 digits of the VCN to the PAN, customer confusion is avoided, and VCNs may be more widely deployed, reducing the number of PAN reissuances that occur. The implementation of this feature is possible using the specific technique disclosed herein that uses multiple, rotating bank identification numbers (BIN) to expand the universe of available PANs to scales that can support a working implementation. The approach further describes accepting both a PAN card verification value (CVV) and a VCN CVV to authorize transactions. The approach also allows the synchronizing of expiration dates between a VCN and a PAN to further ease the burden of administering VCNs.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Paul Y. Moreton, Philip J. SPIEGEL, Lawrence DOUGLAS, John Oliva GILLING, Chris MARCONI

Patent number: 8343177Abstract: Trephine apparatus has an outer casing with means defining a substantially cylindrical passage, or aperture, opening at a substantially circular lower end element, and an inner, substantially cylindrical tube having a bore opening at a substantially circular lower end element, the lower end element of the inner tube being upwardly spaced, or recessed, from the lower end element of the outer casing within the passage. A substantially cylindrical trephine blade is mounted within the bore of the inner tube by means that is so constructed as to enable raising and lowering of the blade relative to the end elements of the outer casing and the inner tube. At least a lower end element of the outer casing, or a base portion including it, is made of a non-opaque material, enabling edge-on viewing of the basal element of the inner tube and the blade, such as by use of a microscope, without parallax between the blade and the basal element of the inner tube.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2009Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Inventor: Philip Douglas Weston

Patent number: 8165028Abstract: A communication system having a wireless trunk for connecting multiple phone lines over wireless communication links to a cellular network comprises a central telephone switch, such as a private branch exchange or key system, connected through one or more trunk lines to a wireless access communication unit. The wireless access communication unit preferably comprises a separate subscriber interface for each trunk line from the central telephone switch. The wireless access communication unit collects data from each of the subscriber interfaces, formats the data into a format compatible with an over-the-air protocol, and transmits the information over one or more wireless channels to a cellular base station. The wireless access communication unit thereby connects calls received from the central telephone switch's trunk lines over a wireless trunk to a network.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 1997Date of Patent: April 24, 2012Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Albert H.
