Publication number: 20250099796Abstract: Disclosed is a system for detecting a water leak, the system including: a sensor that can generate sensor signals and a computer system that can receive and process the sensor signals to detect a water leak. In response to detecting the leak, the computer system can send a state change command to a valve control device, which can be configured to change a state of a solenoid valve according to the state change command. In response to detecting the leak, the computer system can transmit information to a mobile device over a communication network, the information including (i) an indication of the state change command and/or (ii) an indication that the water leak was detected. The mobile device can present the transmitted information in a graphical user interface (GUI), present a selectable option, and receive a user selection of the selectable option, which causes an action to be performed.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2024Publication date: March 27, 2025Inventors: Joseph Schmitt, Michael Kramer, Ronak Desai, Randall Kurtz

Publication number: 20230261972Abstract: In one embodiment, a method comprises determining, by a first networking device, that a first subflow of a multipath transmission control protocol (MPTCP) connection has been established between a first internet protocol (IP) address of a first computing device and an IP address of a second computing device, wherein the first computing device is multihomed to the first networking device and a second networking device. The method also includes determining, by the first or second networking device, a request to establish a second subflow of the MPTCP connection between a second IP address of the first computing and the IP address of the second computing device. In addition, the method includes advertising, by the first networking device, a primary IP address (PIP) of the first networking device for the first subflow and advertising, by the second networking device, a PIP of the second networking device for the second subflow.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2022Publication date: August 17, 2023Inventors: Ronak Desai, Yibin Yang, Rajagopalan Janakiraman

Patent number: 11615490Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for identifying issues in a building. In one aspect, a method includes receiving information describing an issue with a building, accessing data that identifies (i) a plurality of components that are included in the building and (ii) features of the plurality of components, identifying one or more candidate components that have at least a threshold likelihood of being a cause of the issue, and performing some action in response to remedy the issue. For example, the method can include selecting a candidate service provider from among a plurality of service providers based on a comparison of (i) the one or more candidate components and (ii) information identifying technical qualifications for the plurality of service providers, transmitting a service request for the issue to the candidate service provider, receiving a response from the candidate service provider, and scheduling, based on the response, a service appointment.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2021Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: LGHORIZON, LLCInventors: Thomas Lerick, Ronak Desai, Michael Kramer, Joseph Schmitt
