Patent number: 12262786Abstract: Systems and methods of manufacturing a shoe outsole are provided wherein at least a portion of the resulting shoe outsole includes embedded particles. An example method includes applying adhesive to at least one region of the shoe outsole, depositing selected particles onto the adhesive to provide the shoe outsole with a first coat of particles, and at least partially curing the adhesive. The method continues by applying additional adhesive over the first coat of particles, depositing additional particles onto the adhesive to provide the shoe outsole with a second coat of particles, and at least partially curing the subsequent application of adhesive.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2023Date of Patent: April 1, 2025Assignee: The Topline CorporationInventor: Paul William Daniels

Publication number: 20250069086Abstract: A method for enhancing agent-customer interactions in a digital engagement service is provided. The method includes receiving a customer's communication request and initiating an asynchronous process to generate a customer profile summary using a customer identifier. This involves querying a customer data platform (CDP) for customer traits and event data, and creating a prompt for a large language model (LLM) to produce a concise customer profile summary. The summary, stored in a data store, is presented to an available agent through a user interface alongside an invitation to accept the incoming communication request. This streamlined approach equips agents with relevant customer insights promptly, improving service quality and response times.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2024Publication date: February 27, 2025Inventors: Athanasios Dimitrios Sotiriou, Rakesh Bhatia, William Daniels, Kevin King, Aymen Naim, Ruma Nair, Kanish Manuja, Norman Shaukat

Patent number: 11817173Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein that implement and utilize temporal state machines and other temporal computational/memory circuits. For example, a temporal state machine is provided that comprises a temporal computational unit comprising at least one circuit to perform a time-domain operation, and a temporal memory unit. Both the temporal computational unit and temporal memory unit can operate using solely, or partially, time-encoded wavefronts. The computation unit accesses time-encoded wavefronts from the memory and can output and write time-encoded wavefronts back to the memory.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2021Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignees: UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, COLLEGE PARK, GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AS REPRESENTED BY THE SECRETARY OF COMMERCEInventors: Advait Madhavan, Matthew William Daniels, Mark David Stiles

Patent number: 11499278Abstract: A method of resurfacing a length of roadway or other paved surface having markers thereon includes covering the markers with respective marker covers, applying a coating material to the road and the marker covers, then removing the covers. The marker covers mask the markers from the coating material. An inside dimension of the marker covers should approximate the widest outside dimension of the markers. The inside height of the marker cover can be higher than the height the marker extends over the surface. The cover should rest on the surface and not on the marker, for preferred masking and stability. The weight and shape of the covers should permit them to stay in place despite various disrupting forces. After coating, the covers can be removed or crushed in place.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2020Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: REAGENT CHEMICAL & RESEARCH, INC.Inventor: William Daniels
