Patent number: 11788103Abstract: The disclosure relates to the combination of a primary fermentation that converts gas to acetate with a secondary fermentation that converts acetate to a target product. Preferably, the gas contains carbon dioxide, such that the disclosure enables the fixation of carbon dioxide into useful products. The fermentations may be any combination of aerobic and anaerobic, batch and continuous. The fermenting microorganisms may typically be bacterial or fungal.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2020Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: LanzaTech, Inc.Inventors: Sean Dennis Simpson, Allan Haiming Gao, Robert John Conrado, James Daniel Winkler, Alexander Paul Mueller, Steven Brown, Loan Phuong Tran, Michael Koepke, Christophe Daniel Mihalcea

Patent number: 11579236Abstract: Systems and methods provide for improving the accuracy of a location system. The location system can capture partial phase vector data from one or more access points (APs). The location system can capture associated data associated with the partial phase vector data across multiple dimensions, such as identity data of the APs and client devices generating the partial phase vector data and frequency band data, location data, a time and date, and other data associated with the partial phase vector data. The location system can determine correlation data across the multiple dimensions using the first partial phase vector data and the associated data. The location system can a cause of the partial phase vector data based on the correlation data. The location system can perform one or more remediation actions based on the cause of the partial phase vector data.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2019Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Xu Zhang, Abhishek Mukherji, Huy Phuong Tran, Vinay S. Raghuram, Matthew Aaron Silverman

Patent number: 11143738Abstract: An access point includes first and second radios that operate in accordance with first and second wireless protocols, respectively. The access point performs a method including receiving a first protocol packet of the first wireless protocol and a second protocol packet of the second wireless protocol transmitted by a wireless device over a communication channel, and measuring a first received power of the first protocol packet and a second received power of the second protocol packet at the access point. The method further includes determining whether reception times of the first protocol packet and the second protocol packet are within a coherence time for the communication channel and, when the reception times are within the coherence time, combining the first received power and the second received power into a multiprotocol received power. The method also includes determining a location of the wireless device based on the multiprotocol received power.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2020Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Sivadeep R. Kalavakuru, Matthew Aaron Silverman, Xiaohua Fang, Rahul Dasgupta, Huy Phuong Tran, Abhishek Bhattacharyya

Publication number: 20210244841Abstract: A droplet bandpass filter and method of modifying droplet size distribution of a population of droplets suspended in a gas. Droplets suspended in a gas are flowed through a bandpass filter having a tortuous pathway which comprises at least one impactor region located at a position adjacent to a flow direction change. Larger droplets impact at the impactor region while smaller droplets remain suspended in the gas and flow in the first output direction. Other flow restrictors may advantageously be included in the tortuous pathway. The filter is particularly useful in delivering sterilant aerosols (e.g. peroxides) with reduced populations of large droplets.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2019Publication date: August 12, 2021Applicant: Saban Ventures PTY LimitedInventors: Stephen Lea, Phuong Tran

Patent number: 11074710Abstract: In one embodiment, a service obtains spatial information regarding a physical area. The service estimates locations of a device within the physical area over time, based on wireless signals sent by the device. The service generates a set of images based on the spatial information regarding the physical area and on the estimated locations of the device within the physical area over time. The service updates an estimated location of the device by inputting the generated set of images to a machine learning model trained to minimize a location estimation error.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2019Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Huy Phuong Tran, Xu Zhang, Santosh Ghanshyam Pandey, Hugo Latapie, Abhishek Mukherji, Enzo Fenoglio

Patent number: 10932087Abstract: An enterprise system configures access point devices at an enterprise location to communicate with a location determination system. The location determination system receives wireless signal attributes of user computing devices broadcasting Wi-Fi signal data at the enterprise location from one or more access point devices. For a particular time window, the location determination system determines aggregated features of received wireless signal data across all access point devices, and classifies each of the user computing devices as moving or stationary by applying the wireless signal data to a model. For each of the user computing devices determined to be moving, the location determination system calculates a respective position of the user computing device based on the wireless signal data. For each of the user computing devices determined to be stationary, the location determination system does not calculate a respective position of the respective user computing device.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2019Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Huy Phuong Tran, Abhishek Mukherji, Rong Peng, Oscar Bejarano Chavez, Santosh Ghanshyam Pandey

Patent number: 10932139Abstract: A plurality of access points located within a building structure may provide various location-based services, such as navigation, to mobile devices within the building structure. To more accurately determine the location of the plurality of access points, a floorplan of the interior of the building structure may be obtained. A plurality of images of the interior of the building structure is then obtained. At least one of the images includes an image of at least one of the plurality of access points. A plurality of reference points may also be located within the building structure and obtained. Based on the plurality of images, reference points, and the floorplan, a composite image of the interior of the structure is generated. Based on the composite image, the location of each of the plurality of access points is determined.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2018Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Huy Phuong Tran, Abhishek Mukherji, Edmund Cameron Duhaime, Rong Peng, Santosh Ghanshyam Pandey, Jacob Earl Fussell
