Patent number: 11913580Abstract: A quick connect structure having a fitting connector, a connector, and U-shaped positioning snap pin. The fitting connector has a connector part, a fitting connector body part coupled to the connector part, and a fitting part coupled to the fitting connector. The connector part, the fitting connector body part, and the fitting part define a fitting hole extending therethrough, and the fitting part defines positioning groove, a longitudinal snap hole, and a side snap opening in communication with the longitudinal snap hole. The connector has a connection end, a connector body part coupled to the connection end, and a positioning bump. The connection end and the connector body part define a duct hole extending therethrough, the connection end defines a positioning snap groove, and the fitting connector is configured to accept the connection end in the fitting hole.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2023Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Inventors: Chao-Chi Chen, Shen-En Chiang

Publication number: 20220413433Abstract: A holographic calling system can capture and encode holographic data at a sender-side of a holographic calling pipeline and decode and present the holographic data as a 3D representation of a sender at a receiver-side of the holographic calling pipeline. The holographic calling pipeline can include stages to capture audio, color images, and depth images; densify the depth images to have a depth value for each pixel while generating parts masks and a body model; use the masks to segment the images into parts needed for hologram generation; convert depth images into a 3D mesh; paint the 3D mesh with color data; perform torso disocclusion; perform face reconstruction; and perform audio synchronization. In various implementations, different of these stages can be performed sender-side or receiver side. The holographic calling pipeline also includes sender-side compression, transmission over a communication channel, and receiver-side decompression and hologram output.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2021Publication date: December 29, 2022Inventors: Albert PARRA POZO, Joseph VIRSKUS, Ganesh VENKATESH, Kai LI, Shen-Chi CHEN, Amit KUMAR, Rakesh RANJAN, Brian Keith CABRAL, Samuel Alan JOHNSON, Wei YE, Michael Alexander SNOWER, Yash PATEL

Patent number: 10860411Abstract: A method implemented by a network element (NE) in a distributed system, the method comprising tracing an execution of a program in the distributed system to produce a record of the execution of the program, wherein the record indicates states of shared resources at various times during the execution of the program, identifying a vulnerable operation that occurred during the program execution based on the record, wherein the record indicates that a first shared resource of the shared resources is in a flawed state after a node that caused the first shared resource to be in the flawed state crashed, and determining that the vulnerable operation results in a time of fault (TOF) bug based on performing a fault-tolerance mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2018Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: Futurewei Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Haopeng Liu, Xu Wang, Guangpu Li, Shan Lu, Feng Ye, Chen Tian, Shen Chi Chen

Patent number: 10749954Abstract: A device comprises a non-transitory memory storage comprising instructions, a network interface, and one or more processors in communication with the memory storage and the network interface. The one or more processors execute the instructions to receive, via the network interface, a write request from a client device; send, via the network interface, the received write request to a set of follower devices; receive, via the network interface, a first acknowledgment from a majority of the follower devices of the set of follower devices that the write request was processed; send, via the network interface, the received write request to a set of peer devices; receive, via the network interface, second acknowledgments from a majority of the set of peer devices that the write request was processed; and send an acknowledgment of the write request to the client device in response to the receipt of the first acknowledgments and the second acknowledgments.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2016Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: Futurewei Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Shen Chi Chen, Liya Chen, Chen Tian, Zongfang Lin, Robert Lasater

Patent number: 10599552Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for distributed concurrency (DC) bug detection. The method includes identifying a plurality of nodes in a distributed computing cluster; identifying a plurality of messages to be transmitted during execution of an application by the distributed computing cluster; determining a set of orderings of the plurality of messages for DC bug detection, the set of orderings determined based upon the plurality of nodes and the plurality of messages; removing a subset of the orderings from the set of orderings based upon one or more of a state symmetry algorithm, a disjoint-update independence algorithm, or a zero-crash-impact reordering algorithm; and performing DC bug detection testing using the set of orderings after the subset of the orderings is removed from the set of orderings.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2018Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Inventors: Jeffrey Lukman, Huan Ke, Haryadi Gunawi, Feng Ye, Chen Tian, Shen Chi Chen

Patent number: 10532667Abstract: A two-way distribution, charging, and vending system permits a subscriber to exchange one or more partially or completely discharged portable electric energy storage devices for a comparable number of charged portable electric energy storage devices. The two-way distribution, charging, and vending system includes a number of charging modules, each with a dedicated power converter, communicably coupled to at least one two-way distribution system controller and to a power distribution grid. Upon receipt of a discharged portable electric energy storage device, the at least one two-way distribution system controller validates a manufacturer identifier and a subscriber identifier stored in a nontransitory storage media carried by the discharged portable electric energy storage device. Responsive to a successful authentication and validation, the at least one two-way distribution system controller dispenses a charged portable electric energy storage device to the subscriber.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2018Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignee: Gogoro Inc.Inventors: Jung-Hsiu Chen, Shen-Chi Chen, Yu-Lin Wu, Chien-Ming Huang, TsungTing Chan, Feng Kai Yang

Patent number: 10529151Abstract: A network of collection, charging and distribution machines collect, charge and distribute portable electrical energy storage devices (e.g., batteries, supercapacitors or ultracapacitors). Locations of collection, charging and distribution machines having available charged portable electrical energy storage devices are communicated to or acquired by a mobile device of a user, or displayed on a collection, charging and distribution machine. The locations are indicated on a graphical user interface on a map on a user's mobile device relative to the user's current location. The user may use their mobile device select particular locations on the map to reserve an available portable electrical energy storage device. The system nay also warn the user that the user is near an edge of the pre-determined area having portable electrical energy storage device collection, charging and distribution machines. Reservations may also be made automatically based on information regarding a potential route of a user.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2017Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: Gogoro Inc.Inventors: Hok-Sum Horace Luke, Yi-Tsung Wu, Jung-Hsiu Chen, Yulin Wu, Chien Ming Huang, TsungTing Chan, Shen-Chi Chen, Feng Kai Yang
