Patent number: 11966724Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for automatically building automations from desktop recordings using program synthesis. The problem of building automations for desktop applications can be lifted to a generalized concept of automations that operate on worlds whose “world state” can change asynchronously to the actions of the automation. Advantageously, in contrast with synthesis systems that take input-output demonstrations to synthesize a function that maps between them, the method presented here can synthesize from time-series traces of actions to automations that generalizes each step.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: XXV Inc.Inventors: Saurabh Srivastava, Helgi K. Sigurbjarnarson, Henele I. Adams, Corianna Jacoby, Arthur Tilley, William Stern, Timothy Hayes, Audrey Shang

Patent number: 11954776Abstract: A unified platform obtains, stores, and shares search results based on user profiles or groups with a common interest. User profiles or group profiles may be used to identify categories containing objects related to a common interest, and the objects may be selected for placement in a graphical user interface from which they may be purchased by or for the user. The objects may preferably be virtual objects stored in a virtual locker or other virtual display unit. Users are able to conduct web-based searches for products or services from different websites and store dimensional representations of virtual products or services in a unified platform.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: IMAPLAYER, LLCInventors: William Geivett, Christopher Hayes

Publication number: 20230384037Abstract: A heat exchanger is characterized by having two or more fluid flow circuits, each formed by multiple small cross-section “micro-tubes” contained within a surrounding metal structure, or “metal matrix.” Its function is to efficiently transfer heat from one fluid to another in a highly compact assembly. Most any metal or metal alloy can be considered for the micro-tubes. The micro-tubes, while typically arranged in alternating layers of alternating flow circuits, may be organized in any number of arrangements including co-linear and at cross angles to provide for co-flow, counter flow and cross flow. The metal matrix, is provided in one embodiment by a metal or metal alloy powder consolidated in a hot isostatic pressing (HIP) process. This process also joins the tubes together and to the matrix itself, producing a monolithic structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventors: William A. Hayes, Bradley J. Anderson

Patent number: 11554707Abstract: An objective of the present invention is to provide users with a kayak transporting apparatus to assist the users in the transportation of a kayak with minimum effort and strain to the users' body. The present invention provides a kayak carrier for a vehicle that can be adjusted to fit various sizes and shapes of kayak. The present invention is a low-profile apparatus compared to other kayak transporting apparatuses. The kayak transporting apparatus is also intended to be easily stored away as the kayak transporting apparatus is light-weight and the components of the apparatus are detachable from each other. Further, the present invention is a hitch attachment for the rear of a vehicle which facilitates the backing of a vehicle compared to a trailer ball attachment of other kayak transporting apparatuses. Thus, the present invention is a light weight, compact, versatile apparatus for transporting kayaks efficiently.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2020Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Inventor: John William Hayes
