Patent number: 11970038Abstract: Particular embodiments may enable configuring settings of a vehicle in a designated mode. A signal to perform a vehicle leveling process using an electronically controlled suspension of a vehicle may be received. A roll angle and a pitch angle of the vehicle as parked may be assessed based on data received from a position sensor built into the vehicle. Signals to adjust an electronically controlled suspension of the vehicle to reduce the roll angle or the pitch angle so that the vehicle is level as parked may be sent based on the assessed roll angle and pitch angle exceeding a threshold value. Data may be transmitted to present information related to the vehicle leveling process in a graphical user interface.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Rivian IP Holdings, LLCInventors: Thomas Rocroi, Nathaniel Isaac Gallinger, Erik Robert Glaser, Jeffrey Park, Andrea Marie Best, Wassym Bensaid

Patent number: 10929403Abstract: Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to a dynamic data threading (“DDT”) system. According one aspect of the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, the DDT system can query a source of a plurality of disparate sources and receive results from the source. The DDT system can determine, based upon the results, whether a further query is needed. The DDT system, in response to determining that the further query is needed, the DDT system can query a further source of the plurality of disparate sources based, at least in part, upon the results received from the source, and can receive further results from the further source.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2017Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Muralidhar Siddabathula, Sreelatha Bandla, David Lu, Kenneth Williams, Robert Best, Jr.

Patent number: 10652720Abstract: Security systems are warned of earthquakes, tornadoes, and other natural disasters. When an early warning system detects a natural disaster, the early warning system alerts a central server. The early warning system alerts the central server to the natural event and its associated geographic area. The central server may then consult a database and determine the security systems operating in a vicinity of the geographic area experiencing the natural event. The central server may thus warn the security systems of the natural event. The security systems may then implement pre-programmed procedures to protect life and property during earthquakes, tornadoes, and other natural disasters.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2018Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Robert Best, Ted Fick, Hendrik Hofman, Timothy Plattner, Balaji Puli

Patent number: 8995285Abstract: A method includes retrieving a first data set from a switch within a network, the first data set including a set of switch records. Among the switch records included in the first data set is a first switch record associated with and including a field identifying a first trunk group from a set of trunk groups included within the switch. A second data set is retrieved from a configuration management system configured to facilitate an operation associated with the network. The second data set includes a plurality of configuration records, which includes a first configuration record associated with and including a field identifying the first trunk group. When the field included in the first configuration record differs from the field included in the first switch record a report is produced.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2009Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property II, L.P.Inventors: Paritosh Bajpay, Robert Best, Hossein Eslambolchi, Richard Glozzy, John McCanuel, Richard Simon

Patent number: 8661110Abstract: A method includes issuing a retrieval instruction, such as a database query, to retrieve from a database system a datum associated with a network circuit established outside of the United States. Upon receiving the datum from the database system, it is determined, based on the datum retrieved, whether the network circuit is incurring a charge. It is further determined, based on the datum retrieved, an amount of revenue generated by the network circuit. When the amount of revenue generated by the network circuit is below a predetermined threshold, a termination instruction to terminate a service associated with the network circuit is issued.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2012Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property II, L.P.Inventors: Paritosh Bajpay, Robert Best, Romelle Bond, Hossein Eslambolchi, Richard Glozzy, Alan Hughes, John McCanuel
