Patent number: 11947348Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) controller may have control elements configured to receive inputs from a user. A cover may be coupled to the controller. The cover may be movable between a closed position in which the control elements are covered and an open position in which the control elements are exposed. An antenna may be integrated in the cover. The antenna may be electrically connected to circuitry in the controller for communicating with a UAV. In some implementations, a conductive plane and/or an insulating plane may be integrated in the cover. In some implementations, a heatsink, a fan, and/or a support mechanism may be arranged on an under portion of the controller. In some implementations, a circuit board including a cutout may be arranged inside the controller.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Skydio, Inc.Inventors: Benjamin Scott Thompson, Christopher Brian Grasberger, Patrick Allen Lowe, Asher Mendel Robbins-Rothman, Yevgeniy Kozlenko, Logan Sweet, Blair Williams, Joseph Anthony Enke

Publication number: 20230354788Abstract: An aquarium system includes a tank, a motion sensor, and a light source. The motion sensor is adapted to sense motion within a predetermined distance from the tank. The light source has a controllable intensity projecting light into the tank. The intensity varies responsive to motion sensed by the motion sensor. When the motion sensor senses movement, the light is on at 100% intensity. After some period of no-motion, such as about 60 seconds, the lighting slowly dims to around 20% of full brightness. When it senses movement again, the lighting slowly ramps up to 100% intensity.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventors: Stanley James Owens, Joseph Michael Flora, Chad William Robbins

Patent number: 11127091Abstract: Embodiments of systems, methods, and computer-readable media for auditing electronic freight bills are disclosed. For example, one embodiment of the present invention is a method including the steps of receiving a first data source comprising a first set of data; receiving a second data source comprising a second set of data; generating a record comprising at least a portion of the first data set and at least a portion of the second data set; and conducting an audit of the record. In another embodiment, a computer-readable media comprises code for carrying out such a method.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2019Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Inventors: Phillip Marlowe, William Robbins

Patent number: 10769685Abstract: One illustrative method includes receiving a first data set associated with a shipping manifest from a first shipping entity. The method also includes receiving a second data set associated with a user preference. The method additionally includes generating a shipping matrix based on the first data set and the second data set. The method also includes receiving a third data set associated with an invoice and including a first shipping cost. The method additionally includes determining a particular row of the shipping matrix based on the third data set. The method also includes determining a second shipping cost based on data from the particular row of the shipping matrix. The method further includes determining if the first shipping cost is within a predefined tolerance range of the second shipping cost.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2016Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Inventors: Phillip Marlowe, William Robbins

Publication number: 20200238227Abstract: Self-assembled porous block copolymer materials with a complex block copolymer architecture, methods of preparing, uses for separation and detection, and devices for using as such. The porous materials contain at least one of macro, meso, or micro pores, at least some of which are isoporous, and include at least one block copolymer with at least two chemically distinct blocks, which further comprises a complex architecture such as: multiple distinct monomers in or between blocks, branching, crosslinking, or ring architectures.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2018Publication date: July 30, 2020Applicant: TeraPore Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Rachel Mika Dorin, Spencer William Robbins

Patent number: 10715562Abstract: An architecture that can facilitate initiation of an automatic synchronization operation based upon presence information in connection with a wireless communications network is provided. For example, when certain mobile devices register with a particular network entity (e.g., a femtocell) that services a particular target location (e.g., place of residence), then such registration can be leveraged to indicate presence at the target location. Accordingly, synchronization between the mobile device and other devices can be automatically initiated, without requiring input or effort by a user, or even that the user remembers to perform the synchronization operation. Moreover, the synchronization operation can be wireless, so connection cables need not be maintained or employed.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2019Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: William Robbins, Judson Flynn, Randolph Wohlert
