Patent number: 10223394Abstract: With respect to reconciling data between a source system and one or more destination systems, a source agent obtains data from the source system. A destination agent obtains data from the destination system. The source and destination agents generate digests of the data obtained from the source and destination systems, respectively. The digests are provided to a consistency service for storage. The digests of the data stored at the source system are stored in a first tree data structure, such as a variant of a Merckle tree. The digests of the data stored at the destination system are stored in a second tree data structure, which might also be a variant of a Merckle tree. A comparison of the trees may be made in order to determine the consistency level of the data stored at the source system and the destination systems.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2015Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Raymond Henry Kelm, Eric Lee Oliver

Publication number: 20120053726Abstract: A brick laying system where an operator such as a mason works proximate a moveable platform having a robotic arm assembly, a mortar applicator with a mortar transfer device, and a brick transfer device to build structures. The robotically assisted brick laying system may also contain a stabilizer having a disturbance sensing and a disturbance correcting component that provides compensation for disturbances caused by load shifting, movement of the platform, wind, operator movement, and the like. In addition, the robotically assisted brick laying system has a sensing and positioning component for controlling placement of the moveable platform and robotic arm assembly. The interoperability of the system with a mason or skilled operator removes much of the manual labor component of brick laying, allowing the mason more time to focus on craftsmanship and quality, thus improving the end product and the overall working conditions of the mason.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2011Publication date: March 1, 2012Inventors: Scott Lawrence Peters, Nathan Podkaminer, Stephen Jeffrey Rock, Raymond Henry Puffer, JR., Michael Robert Kleinigger, Justin Daniel Gullotta, Thomas Charles Coller

Publication number: 20110166986Abstract: A financial institution may determine a first mortgage opportunity for a banking center within a market from market-level data. The market-level data for a market geographical area is obtained for customers originating a first mortgage within a predetermined time period and is typically anonymous while providing a credit score and indicator whether the associated customer is a customer of the financial institution and has conducted a transaction within a predetermined time duration. The market geographical area typically contains a plurality of financial centers for the financial institution. The market-level data is then filtered in order to determine a total mortgage opportunity for the financial institution. From information about the financial centers, the total mortgage opportunity is apportioned among the financial centers in the market. Resources may then be allocated to a financial center based on the estimated mortgage opportunity for the financial center.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2010Publication date: July 7, 2011Applicant: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Gregory Lynn Graham, Todd Raymond Henry

Patent number: 7858874Abstract: A solar roofing system includes components that can be made to mimic traditional tabbed asphalt roofing shingles in size, shape, and performance. Additionally, the shingles also include photovoltaic devices embedded in the shingle tabs. Shingles are installed in a traditional manner using traditional tools and fasteners in offset and overlapping rows. Electrical connectivity among tabs is made by contact between top and bottom surfaces of shingles without the need for additional wiring or hardware. The system includes multiple shingle shapes including a variation that can be cut apart into separate tabs. This solar roofing system can be integrated with non-photovoltaic components to fit irregularities found in a variety of roof surfaces. The system, once installed, creates a redundancy of electrical connectivity throughout a roof surface to allow for interruptions and irregularities in the roof surface and to allow for highly reliable output performance.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2009Date of Patent: December 28, 2010Inventors: Raymond Henry Ruskin, Homan B.
