Centurion+ Patent Holders as of August 20, 2024

Claude Louis Bertin
Dr. Bertin is a Nantero Fellow at Nantero, Inc., located in Woburn, MA, in R&D specializing in carbon nanotube nonvolatile resistive random access memory (NRAM), carbon nanotube FET (CNTFET) device and logic development, and integration in CMOS fabricators.
He received his PhD in Electrical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1969 as a recipient of the IBM Resident Study Fellowship Program Award.

Patent №: 12068029 (August 20, 2024) – Three dimensional (3D) memories with multiple resistive change elements per cell and corresponding architectures for in-memory computing. The disclosure involves multi-switch storage cells (MSSCs) and 3D MSSC arrays that prevent unwanted currents, ensuring data integrity. MSSCs allow targeted READ and WRITE operations without disturbing other elements, supporting in-memory computing for AI and machine learning.

Robert L Olesen
CEO, Principle Wireless Engineer at BeaconWatch, Inc.
Mr. Olesen received his M.S. degree in electrical engineering from New York University in 1988, and an E.M.B.A. from Hofstra University in 2006.
Patent №: 12068793 (August 20, 2024) – Handling interference in multi-radio access technology (RAT) wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU).

Systems, methods, and tools are disclosed for message transmission. A first and/or second radio access technology (RAT) may be selected, with data received via a first node using the first RAT and a second node using the second RAT, potentially based on an indication from the first RAT.

Michael Peter Montemurro
Director Standards at BlackBerry Ltd.
Patent №: 12069174 (August 20, 2024) – Secure communication with an authentication process.

Systems, methods, and software enhance cargo shipping security by using encrypted communication between a sensor and a tracking device. The sensor decrypts a key, sends an encrypted response, and the tracking device confirms authentication.

Patent №: 12067877 (August 20, 2024) – Method and system for wireless road side units. A method in an Intelligent Transportation System involves detecting a traffic event, connecting to a network node via IP, and sending a message with event details when no roadside unit is available.

Vikram Makam Gupta
Principal Engineer at Qualcomm.
Patent №: 12069331 (August 20, 2024) – Methods and systems for group watching.

A method for modifying media playback in a group watch session involves receiving a command, checking user preferences, and executing the command if it aligns with them. Playback adjustments may include skipping or rewinding, based on estimated user satisfaction.

Patent №: 12067329 (August 20, 2024) – Systems and methods for improving music playback at a playback device. The system can switch from a radio broadcast to device music if the broadcast quality drops below a threshold. It also selects songs based on preferences from multiple devices and can choose which device to retrieve songs from based on predefined rules.

Subramaniam M Maiyuran
Mr. Maiyuran received a bachelor’s degree in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, USA, and a master’s degree from Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, USA.
He is currently part of the Visual Processing Group, Folsom, CA, USA, responsible for shader execution engines and Raster fixed function architecture.

Patent №: 12067641 (August 20, 2024) – Page faulting and selective preemption.
One embodiment describes a parallel processor with a memory interface and a processing array. The array uses virtual address mapping to access memory and includes circuitry to resolve page faults. Each compute block within the array can be preempted independently.
