Patent number: 11934740Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatus for associating electronic devices together based on received audio commands are described. Methods for associating an audio-controlled device with a physically separate display screen device such that information responses can then be provided in both audio and graphic formats using the two devices in conjunction with each other are described. The audio-controlled device can receive audio commands that can be analyzed to determine the author, which can then be used to further streamline the association operation.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2019Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Justin-Josef Angel, Eric Alan Breitbard, Sean Robert Ryan, Robert Steven Murdock, Michael Douglas McQueen, Ryan Charles Chase, Colin Neil Swann

Patent number: 11639506Abstract: The present invention relates to materials and methods for the production of ethanol. More particularly, the present invention provides genetically modified strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae having enhanced tolerance for ionic liquid (IL) toxicity. Also provided are methods of using such genetically engineered yeast strains for improved IL-mediated hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass for industrial-scale production of various fuels, chemical feedstocks, and synthetic polymers.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2016Date of Patent: May 2, 2023Assignee: Wisconsin Alumni Research FoundationInventors: Jeff Scott Piotrowski, Scott Bottoms, Quinn Dickinson, Robert Chase Landick

Publication number: 20210374785Abstract: An online system receives financial account information for a user, such as debit card information, from a merchant system with which the user places an order. From the financial account information, the online system selects a virtual credit card providing one or more rewards, such as cashback, to the user. Based on characteristics of the order by the user, the online system identifies one or more offers, such as discounts or rebates, applicable to the order. The online system provides the virtual credit card information to the merchant system and stores the virtual credit card information, as well as information describing one or more identified offers for the order in association with the user and the virtual credit card, in an account maintained for the user. Rewards may be stored in the user's account at the online system for application when using the virtual credit card associated with the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2021Publication date: December 2, 2021Inventor: Robert Chase Harmer

Publication number: 20210103918Abstract: A merchant system offers various products for sale to users. The merchant system receives a set of application programming interface (API) calls from an online system allowing the merchant system to provide a user with a virtual credit card when the user is purchasing products via the merchant system. The merchant system provides one or more conditions to the online system and provides information describing an order by a user via the merchant system. By applying a machine learned model to characteristics of the users and characteristics of one or more orders by the merchant system, the online system determines an amount for the virtual credit card. When the user's order satisfies the conditions, the online system issues the virtual credit card and transmits information describing the virtual credit card to the merchant system, which the virtual credit card information to the user while the user completes the order.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2020Publication date: April 8, 2021Inventors: Robert Chase Harmer, Gregory Prokter

Patent number: 9981190Abstract: Techniques are described for performing telemetry based interactive content generation for online services. For example, telemetry data can be obtained from individual users of the online service and/or from multiple users of the online service (e.g., and processed to generate aggregate telemetry data). Other types of data can also be obtained, including service management data. Service management data can be generated from the users of the online service and can comprise user density information for virtual areas of the online service. Using telemetry data (e.g., user-specific telemetry data and/or aggregate telemetry data), service management data, and/or other types of data related to the online service, new interactive experiences can by dynamically created for the users of the online service.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2015Date of Patent: May 29, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Alex Liu, Sebastian Grinke, Robert Chase Jones, Kenneth A. Lobb, James Yarrow

Patent number: 8925100Abstract: A data protection system selectively deletes data from an electronic device when the device is reported as lost or stolen, or when another data protection triggering event occurs. Different data files may, for example, be treated differently depending on when such files were created. For example, data files that were created while the computing device was known to be in the owner's possession may be deleted, while data files created after the electronic device left the owner's possession may be left intact (since they may have been created by an innocent user). Data files created between these two points in time may be quarantined so that they later be restored, if appropriate.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2013Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: Absolute Software CorporationInventor: Robert Chase
