US Patent:

20210041578, Feb 11, 2021

Filed:

Feb 28, 2020

Appl. No.:

16/804789

Inventors:

John Rankin - Columbus OH, US

International Classification:

G01S 19/51
G06T 7/292

Abstract:

Systems and methods for determining the proximity and attraction between a stationary object and a number of moving objects are provided. First and second location measurement of each of the moving objects are taken and applied to a measurable coordinate system centered around the stationary object. The converted location measurements are transformed into a proximity/attraction value (“PAV”). Where the PAV is less than one, the object is moving away from the stationary object. Where the PAV is greater than one, the object is moving towards the stationary object.

Appl. No.:

16/804767

Inventors:

John Rankin - Columbus OH, US

International Classification:

G06Q 30/02

Abstract:

Systems and methods for indirect advertising are disclosed. A real target is identified. Locations visited by the real target are identified. Secondary targets known to visit at least one of the identified locations are identified. A message designed to influence the real target is pushed to the secondary targets such that the real target may be influenced through word-of-mouth interaction with the secondary targets and led to believe that a larger phenomenon is occurring.

Filed:

Apr 16, 2020

Appl. No.:

16/850165

Inventors:

John Rankin - Columbus OH, US

International Classification:

G01N 29/44
G01N 29/07

Abstract:

Systems and methods are disclosed for non-invasive detection of chemicals within objects. An object comprised of cellulose material is placed inside an examination chamber, which is sealed. A first measurement of the speed of sound waves traveling through the chamber is taken to establish a baseline. The chamber is heated to liberate any stored chemicals within the object and a second measurement is taken. An expected difference is compared to an actual difference in measurements to determine if hidden chemicals are present.

Appl. No.:

16/850211

Inventors:

John Rankin - Columbus OH, US

International Classification:

G06F 12/1009
G06F 3/06

Abstract:

Systems and methods for operating a virtual memory pool are disclosed. A network of computing machines having local real memory is provided. A translation table, which is not tightly coupled to the real memory of any one of the computing machines in the network, is generated comprising connections between locations of the various local real memories to segments of the virtual memory pool. A request is received to access a particular segment of the virtual memory pool. An address for a particular computing machine and a location in its local real memory is retrieved from the translation table. A copy of the particular segment is requested from the particular computing machine.

Appl. No.:

15/864399

Inventors:

- Williamsport OH, US
John Rankin - Columbus OH, US

International Classification:

G01K 13/00
G01N 33/02
A47J 36/32
A47J 27/04

Abstract:

Exemplary embodiments provide a system and method for measuring the temperature of an object, but without requiring a direct measurement of the object to determine the point at which the object has reached a desired temperature. The exemplary embodiments provide a process where the object can be heated or cooled to a desired temperature without the requirements of temperature probes into the object. The exemplary embodiments allow the process operator to be informed when the heating process has completed, without regard to the size, shape, weight, density, or amount of materials to be prepared. The energy required to maintain the temperature of a medium is compared to the energy required to maintain the temperature once an object has been placed within the medium.

International Classification:

H04L 12/801
H04L 29/06
H04L 29/12

Abstract:

A system and method of reducing network congestion whereby significant improvement can be gained by the elimination of catastrophic network congestion failure within a TCP/IP network. Exemplary embodiments are implemented by an improved process for retransmitting unreceived datagram fragments by use of a bitmap. The bitmap allows for a more targeted acknowledgement system to prevent needless transmission of already received datagram fragments.
