Patent number: 11978014Abstract: Examples provide a tag manager component that identifies a plurality of stationary RFID tags located within a three-dimensional space outside an item display area based on an analysis of RFID tag data associated with the plurality of RFID tag readers. A zone detection component analyzes item data associated with a plurality of items corresponding to the plurality of stationary RFID tags and location data associated with the three-dimensional space using a set of per-item criteria. The set of per-item criteria includes a per-item minimum threshold number of items per unit of three-dimensional space and/or a minimum threshold stationary time-period. A verification component analyzes sensor data and/or transaction data to verify whether the three-dimensional space is a termination zone. If the three-dimensional space is a termination zone, an inventory manager component removes the plurality of items from perpetual inventory.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Walmart Apollo, LLCInventors: Jeremy Tingler, Steven Lewis

Patent number: 11724802Abstract: A conversion system for a tiltrotor aircraft may be configured to control tilting of a pylon assembly relative to a wing of the aircraft. The system may include a means for generating asymmetric thrust with a propulsion rotor carried by the pylon assembly to generate a first torque on the pylon assembly in a first direction. The system may include a brake mechanism to selectively resist the first torque on the pylon assembly by applying a second torque to the pylon assembly in a second direction opposite the first direction. The rotor (via asymmetric thrust generated by the rotor) and the brake mechanism are coordinated to work against each other to control the tilt rate and angle of the pylon assembly during conversion between flight modes of the tiltrotor aircraft. Other aspects of the present technology include methods of tilting rotors of tiltrotor aircraft using asymmetric thrust and brake mechanisms.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2021Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: AVX AIRCRAFT COMPANYInventors: Stan Messinger, Clayton Messinger, George Steven Lewis

Patent number: 11687872Abstract: Systems, methods, and processor-readable storage media for remote controlling of electronic shelf labels. An example method includes receiving, at a computing device, store layout data of a retail store and product data. The product data identifies at least one product and a price of the product. The method causes an optical emitter to emit an optical signal to at least one electronic shelf label based at least in part on the store layout data, the product data, and a predetermined rule. The optical signal bears the product data and is configured to cause the electronic shelf label to change displayable information to reflect new product data. The electronic shelf label can also send feedback to the optical emitter to inform that the optical signal was successfully received.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2018Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: Walmart Apollo, LLCInventors: Steven Lewis, Matthew Biermann, Nicholaus A.
