Publication number: 20210150421Abstract: A dynamic queue management system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a memory storing a software code. The hardware processor executes the software code to receive queue enrollment data identifying a first guest and a first attraction, determine whether the first guest is enrolled in a second queue for a second attraction, and assign the first guest to one of multiple groups seeking admission to the first attraction based on whether the first guest is enrolled in the second queue. The software code further obtains a current occupancy state of the first attraction, determines an attendance period corresponding to an average duration of attendance at the first attraction by previous guests, and identifies one of the groups for admission to the first attraction based on the number of guests in the group, the current occupancy state of the first attraction, and the attendance period of the attraction.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2019Publication date: May 20, 2021Inventors: Seth Abbe, Michael Nightingale, Todd Graham, Alexander Logan Meyer, Joshua Caleb Umstead, Robert Todd Ogrin, Paul David Fisher, Zulekha Banu Flexwala, Jason Daniel Smith, Brandon J.

Patent number: 9400498Abstract: An unmanned systems operator control system includes a hand held controller with a set of switches and control enumeration software specially configured to report a superset of virtual switches based on the physical switches. A core unit includes a first unmanned system control application subscribing to a first switch subset of the superset and outputting commands controlling a first unmanned system based on activation of the set of switches. A second unmanned system control application subscribes to a second switch subset of the superset and outputs commands controlling a second unmanned system based on activation of the set of switches. A mode switching subsystem is configured, in a first state, to map the set of switches to the first switch subset and, in a second state, to map the set of switches to the second switch subset.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2015Date of Patent: July 26, 2016Assignee: Foster-MIller, Inc.Inventors: Kurt Bruck, Boian Bentchev, Julie Shapiro, Todd Graham, Daniel Deguire

Publication number: 20160132892Abstract: Method, system, and programs for estimating customer satisfaction associated with a customer are disclosed. In one example, a plurality of time series is obtained. Each time series comprises observations for one of a plurality of events associated with the customer. Each observation for each of the events is made with respect to a time period. A plurality of individual measures is estimated. Each of the individual measures is associated with one of the plurality of events. Each individual measure is estimated based on a time series including a plurality of observations associated with the event. Information is received indicative of a number of events selected from the plurality of events. An aggregated measure is computed indicative of a degree of satisfaction of the customer based on individual measures associated with the number of events.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2014Publication date: May 12, 2016Inventors: Borong Zhou, Todd Graham, Don MacLennan

Patent number: 9115249Abstract: The present disclosure relates to processes and methods of generating hydrogen via the dehydrocoupling of amine boranes using ligand-stabilized homogenous metal catalysts. The amine-borane is shown by the formula (I), R1R2N—BHR3R4. A process is also shown for the preparation of a linear, branched or cyclic polymer which comprises a repeating unit of the formula (II), —[R1R2N—BR3R4]-n, by reacting HR1R2N—BHR3R4 in the presence of at least one ligand-stabilized metal catalyst.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2009Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: Kanata Chemical Technologies Inc.Inventors: Kamaluddin Abdur-Rashid, Todd Graham, Chi-Wing Tsang, Xuanhua Chen, Rongwei Guo, Wenli Jia
