Patent number: 11250408Abstract: The present disclosure provides intelligent lighting control systems for adjusting a user interface on a mobile electronic device. A user input requested via the user interface to change a lighting state of one or more light emitting elements in a luminaire connected to a lighting control system communicably coupled to a server system is detected. A transaction identification (ID) code is generated on the mobile electronic device. A display of an icon displayed in the user interface is changed. The icon depicts a status of the one or more light emitting elements. The transaction identification code and a request to change the lighting state to be transmitted from the mobile electronic device to the server system. A change notification received by the server system is analyzed to determine if it includes the transaction ID code. The display state of the icon is either changed on maintained based on the analysis.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2018Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: Savant Systems, Inc.Inventors: Casey Scott Marshall, David Creighton Mott

Patent number: 9211891Abstract: In many vehicular control contexts, a vehicle may monitor the vehicle input control from a driver to detect warning conditions that entail a warning to the user and/or an automatic mitigating action (e.g., detecting hard braking that causes brake lockup, and automatically activating anti-lock braking). Warning and mitigation techniques may address the instant driving conditions, but may not the user driving behavior that caused the condition (e.g., a driving style of the user that resulted in hard braking, such as excessive speed for current driving conditions). Presented herein are techniques for monitoring the user driving behavior of the user in various driving contexts, and presenting driving suggestions of alternative driving behaviors providing advantages over the current user driving behavior of the user. The presentation of the alternative driving behaviors to the user may facilitate changes in user driving behavior that improve the safety, efficiency, and/or comfort of the driving experience.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2013Date of Patent: December 15, 2015Assignee: INRIX Inc.Inventors: Christopher L. Scofield, Scott Marshall Sedlik

Patent number: 9034562Abstract: Improved fidelity to an integrated circuit pattern design in a semiconductor structure ultimately produced is achieved by modeling material removal and deposition processes in regard to materials, reactant, feature size, feature density, process parameters and the like as well as the effects of such parameters on etch and material deposition bias due to microloading and RIE lag (including inverse RIE lag) and using the models to work backward through the intended manufacturing method steps, including hard mask pattern decomposition, to morphologically develop feature patterns for use in most or all process steps which will result in the desired feature sizes and shapes at the completion of the overall process. Modeling of processes may be simplified through use of process assist features to locally adjust rates of material deposition and removal.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2013Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Derren Neylon Dunn, Ioana Graur, Scott Marshall Mansfield

Patent number: 8912924Abstract: Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for authorizing an action using vehicle identification information (e.g., supplied by a vehicle) and user identification information (e.g., supplied by a mobile device associated with a user of the vehicle). Such an action may relate to, among other things, refueling the vehicle, parking the vehicle, using a fee-based road segment, and/or other vehicle-centric actions, for example. Moreover, in one embodiment, as part of the authorization, a payment transaction may be initiated by an authorization system configured to authorize the action.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2012Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: INRIX, Inc.Inventors: Christopher L.
