Publication number: 20250067055Abstract: An ember and flame resistant resettable automatic soffit vent includes a tray with ventilation openings formed in its floor. A mesh screen resides on the floor of the tray spanning the ventilation openings. A flat slide resides atop the screen and also has ventilation openings that match those of the tray. The slide has an open position wherein its ventilation openings align with those of the tray to allow airflow through the vent and a closed position wherein its ventilation openings are misaligned with the ventilation openings of the tray to close off airflow through the vent. The vent can be manually moved between its open and closed positions and one or more tension springs and a thermal link assembly cooperate to move the slide to its closed position if the vent is exposed to a high temperature cause by a fire very near a home.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2024Publication date: February 27, 2025Inventors: Brannon Scott Thompson, Steven Vonderlehr Boehling

Patent number: 12229303Abstract: Systems and methods for processing erasure requests are provided, namely requests from users to have their user data erased from a system. The system maintains user data in multiple components which may not be in communication with each other. With the provided system, certain entities, referred to herein as erasure control entities, are informed of details of received erasure requests, and are given the opportunity to provide input on whether they should be executed or note. For example, one erasure control entity, such as a credit card server, may not want an erasure request executed for a user with a large outstanding debt, while another erasure control entity, such as a legal component, may be unaware of this and may not be concerned with the erasure request being executed. The system and method ensure that erasure requests are not executed in situations that are premature or inappropriate.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2020Date of Patent: February 18, 2025Assignee: SHOPIFY INC.Inventors: Steven Scott, Jason White, Reid Van Melle

Patent number: 12210541Abstract: A database system is described that includes components for storing time-series data and executing custom, user-defined computational expressions in substantially real-time such that the results can be provided to a user device for display in an interactive user interface. For example, the database system may process stored time-series data in response to requests from a user device. The request may include a start time, an end time, a period, and/or a computational expression. The database system may retrieve the time-series data identified by the computational expression and, for each period, perform the arithmetic operation(s) identified by the computational expression on data values corresponding to times within the start time and the end time. Once all new data values have been generated, the database system may transmit the new data values to the user device for display in the interactive user interface.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2023Date of Patent: January 28, 2025Assignee: Palantir Technologies Inc.Inventors: David Tobin, Dylan Scott, Orcun Simsek, Steven Fackler, Wilson Wong

Patent number: 12203921Abstract: Methods and apparatus for long read, label-free, optical nanopore long chain molecule sequencing. In general, the present disclosure describes a novel sequencing technology based on the integration of nanochannels to deliver single long-chain molecules with widely spaced (>wavelength), ˜1-nm aperture “tortuous” nanopores that slow translocation sufficiently to provide massively parallel, single base resolution using optical techniques. A novel, directed self-assembly nanofabrication scheme using simple colloidal nanoparticles is used to form the nanopore arrays atop nanochannels that unfold the long chain molecules. At the surface of the nanoparticle array, strongly localized electromagnetic fields in engineered plasmonic/polaritonic structures allow for single base resolution using optical techniques.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2023Date of Patent: January 21, 2025Inventors: Steven R.

Publication number: 20250011643Abstract: A method of the invention prepares a hydrocarbon-bearing formation for stimulation. A bottom hole assembly comprising a plug and a perforation tool connected to a wireline is lowered into a wellbore having a casing. An acidic composition is injected into the wellbore; wherein a spacer separates the acidic composition from said bottom hole assembly, but the acidic composition is in direct contact with both the wireline and casing. The spacer may be existing water in the wellbore or water injected into the wellbore. The plug is positioned downhole beyond a location where a first perforation area is to be made in the casing. The perforation tool is activated creating the first perforation area. The acid then contacts the first perforation area and cementitious debris generated from the casing being perforated. The perforation tool is next moved up-hole to a second location and the casing is again perforated to create a second perforation area.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2024Publication date: January 9, 2025Inventors: Tom McLoughlin, Steven Scott Mann, Clay Purdy, Markus Weissenberger

Patent number: 12192079Abstract: A method and apparatus in which a data stream is received that includes constant bit rate (CBR) carrier streams, at least one of which comprises frames, a cumulative phase offset report (CPOR) and a client rate report (CRR). A counter accumulating a PHY-scaled stream clock (IPSCk) is sampled at a nominal sampling period (Tps) to obtain a cumulative PHY-scaled count (CPSC). A PHY-scaled stream phase offset (PSPO) is calculated that indicates phase difference between PHY-scaled stream nominal bit count (LPSD) and an incoming PHY-scaled count delta (IPSD). The data stream is demultiplexed to obtain CBR carrier streams. Respective CBR carrier streams include a previous network node CPOR (CPOR-P) and a previous network node CPO (CPO-P). A CPO is calculated that is a function of CPO-P and PSPO. CPO-P is replaced with the calculated CPO. The CBR carrier streams are multiplexed into intermediate-network-node data streams that are transmitted from the intermediate-network-node.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2023Date of Patent: January 7, 2025Assignee: Microchip Technology Inc.Inventors: Scott Muma, Winston Mok, Steven Scott Gorshe
