Publication number: 20250036092Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed relating to the installation of building systems, such as security systems, using machine learning models, such as generative artificial intelligence models. For example, a method can include receiving a prompt indicating inputs from a user that represent components of a building system to be installed. The method can include applying the prompt to a machine learning model comprising at least one transformer, the machine learning model trained using one or more natural language prompts and example system installation data to cause the machine learning model to generate a target layout and installation for the building system. The method can further include presenting the layout for the system using at least one of a display device or an audio output device.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2024Publication date: January 30, 2025Inventors: Anand Sastry, Gregory Walter Hill, Rajmy Sayavong, Karthik Challa, Ilse Tse

Patent number: 10958582Abstract: A method of operating a data network may include establishing a data path through the data network between a routing gateway and service provider equipment providing a data service. Moreover, the data service may be provided for use at the routing gateway over the data path during a data session. A request may be received from the service provider equipment where the request defines a data flow characteristic for the data path between the routing gateway and the service provider equipment providing the data service. The data flow characteristic may then be transmitted to a network element along the data path between the routing gateway and the service provider equipment. A request from service provider equipment can include an allowed bandwidth or prioritization. Related methods, data networks, data service providers, routing gateways, and computer program products are also discussed.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2019Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Maria Adamczyk, Thomas Arnold Anschutz, Alan Ryan Blackburn, Jeffrey Patrick Cassanova, Sammie Walter Hill, Scott Crandall Holt, Nicholas Steven Huslak, Arnold Chester McQuaide, Jr., Edgar Vaughan Shrum, Jr., Scott Traynham Stillman, Steven Allan Wright, Li Zhang

Patent number: 9355357Abstract: A value corresponding to an adjustable control element is received. Predicted data is computed from seasonal data, where the computing is according to applying preservation of peaks in the seasonal data and applying time distance biasing in which more recent data points in the seasonal data are weighted higher than less recent data points. Relative weighting of the peak preservation and the time distance biasing is based on the received value corresponding to the adjustable control element.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2011Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignee: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LPInventors: Ming C.

Patent number: 9004538Abstract: A motor vehicle mud flap is a plate-like body having a suspension section, a quadrant section, and an extension section. The suspension section is adapted for attachment to a mud flap bracket for suspension of the mud flap therefrom. The quadrant section is coupled with the suspension section and has an array of elongate through-openings. The extension section is coupled with the quadrant section and has an array of elongate through-openings. The array of elongate through-openings is defined by alternating recesses and ribs in parallel and longitudinal disposition. Each recess is configured as a pair of opposed elongate shallow recesses fluidly coupled by an elongate through-opening having a width less than the width of each recess. Water and air can flow through the recesses, and debris larger than the width of the through-openings is deflected by the mud flap.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2013Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: Fleet Engineers, Inc.Inventors: Wesley K. Eklund, Thomas Gerst, Gary Roberts, Walter Hill

Patent number: 8174970Abstract: A method of operating a data network may include establishing a data path through the data network between a routing gateway for a subscriber of the data network and a service provider providing a data service. Moreover, the data service may be provided for use at the routing gateway over the data path during a data session. A request may be received from the service provider wherein the request defines a data flow characteristic for the data path between the routing gateway and the service provider providing the data service during the data session. The data flow characteristic may then be transmitted to a node along the data path between the routing gateway and the service provider for enforcement of the data flow characteristic for the data path at the node. More particularly, the data session may be a point-to-point protocol data session. Related methods, data networks, data service providers, routing gateways, and computer program products are also discussed.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2004Date of Patent: May 8, 2012Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Maria Adamczyk, Thomas Arnold Anschutz, Alan Ryan Blackburn, Jeffrey Patrick Cassanova, Sammie Walter Hill, Scott Crandall Holt, Nicholas Steven Huslak, Arnold Chester McQuaide, Jr., Edgar Vaughan Shrum, Jr., Scott Traynham Stillman, Steven Allen Wright, Li Zhang
