Publication number: 20240134350Abstract: Methods and systems for managing the operation of data processing systems are disclosed. A data processing system may include a computing device that may provide computer implemented services. To provide the computer implemented services, hardware components of the data processing system may need to operate in predetermined manners. To manage the operation of the hardware components, the data processing system may heat them when their temperatures fall outside of thermal operating ranges. The data processing system may implement a distributed management framework for managing the operation of a thermal management subsystem tasked with maintaining the temperatures of the hardware components through heating.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2022Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: DONALD W. GERHART, ALARIC JOAQUIM NARCISSIUS SILVEIRA, ERIC MICHAEL TUNKS, BALAMURUGAN GNANASAMBANDAM, CURTIS RAY GENZ, RANDY ALTON FRAZIER, JEFFREY LEIGHTON KENNEDY

Publication number: 20230251064Abstract: A net-shape ballistic panel is formed by a process of arranging a fiber bundle on a substrate to form a layer, the layer following a shape of the ballistic panel, securing the fiber bundle to the substrate with a plurality of stitches to form a preform layer, arranging additional layers of fiber bundles on the preform layer, each layer of the additional layers following the shape of the ballistic panel, and each fiber bundle being secured with a plurality of stitches to each layer of the additional layers to form a plurality of preform layers. A resin is then impregnated into the preform layers and subsequently cured using a process such as compression molding. The resulting ballistic panel is relatively thin while exhibiting an excellent ballistic rating (e.g., V50).Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2022Publication date: August 10, 2023Applicants: Ford Global Technologies, LLC, J. & P.

Patent number: 11457311Abstract: A method for determining a displacement offset of a voice coil of a speaker, comprising: providing a drive signal comprised of a program content signal and a test signal to the voice coil of the speaker; determining at least one value representative of an impedance of the voice coil according to a voice coil voltage and a voice coil current, wherein the voice coil voltage and the voice coil current result from, at least, the test signal; determining whether the at least one value indicates that an offset displacement of the voice coil exceeds a predetermined offset distance; and reducing a magnitude of the drive signal provided to the voice coil if the at least one value indicates that the offset displacement of the voice coil exceeds the predetermined offset threshold.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2021Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: Bose CorporationInventor: Randy Michael Carbo

Patent number: 10632278Abstract: An earphone includes a loudspeaker, a microphone, a housing supporting the loudspeaker and microphone, and an ear tip surrounding the housing and configured to acoustically couple both the loudspeaker and the microphone to an ear canal of a user, and to acoustically close the entrance to the user's ear canal. A processor receives input audio signals from the microphone, detects peaks having a frequency of around 1 Hz in the input audio signals, based on the detected peaks, computes an instantaneous heart rate, measures a frequency of an oscillation within the instantaneous heart rate, and based on the frequency of the oscillation, computes a rate of respiration.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2017Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: Bose CorporationInventors: Romain Kirszenblat, Lifun Lin, Mikhail Ioffe, Tegan Ayers, Randy Michael Carbo

Patent number: 10212526Abstract: An acoustic pressure reducer acoustically couples to and provides acoustic impedance to attenuate the acoustic box pressure of an acoustic system, such as a loudspeaker system. The pressure reducer may also allow an ambient pressure of the acoustic system to equalize with an ambient pressure of an external environment and the ambient pressure of the acoustic pressure reducer at a certain rate. The attenuation may allow for inexpensive acoustic sensors to be utilized within the pressure reducer to measure one or more acoustic properties of an attenuated acoustic pressure within the pressure reducer. An unattenuated acoustic pressure value of the acoustic system may be estimated using a known transfer function of the pressure reducer and the attenuated acoustic pressure values measured within. A controller coupled to the acoustic system may adjust one or more operating characteristics in response to estimating the unattenuated acoustic pressure.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2017Date of Patent: February 19, 2019Assignee: BOSE CORPORATIONInventors: John Harlan Wendell, Randy Michael Carbo, Eric Carl Mitchell

Patent number: 10089879Abstract: Systems and methods provide for tracking objects around a vehicle, analyzing the potential threat of the tracked objects, and implementing a threat response based on the analysis in order to keep occupants of the vehicle safe. Embodiments include a boundary detection system comprising a memory configured to store threat identification information, and a sensor unit configured to sense the object outside the vehicle and obtain sensor information based on the sensed object. The boundary detection system further includes a processor in communication with the memory and sensor unit, the controller configured to receive the sensor information, and control a threat response based on the sensor information and the threat identification information.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2017Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Brad Ignaczak, Cynthia M.
