Inventor Recognitions with Centurion Plus Utility Patents as of August 15, 2023

Yasushi Shigeta

Chairman & Group CEO at Angel Gaming Co., Ltd.

Patent №: 11727750 (August 15, 2023) – Fraud detection system in a casino.

a diagram illustrating an overview of a fraud detection system in a casino having a plurality of gaming tables.

A fraud detection system for chip collection and redemption in a game uses a camera to capture chip tray images, analyzes them to detect chip amounts, and compares this with game outcomes to spot fraud.

Patent №: 11727751 (August 15, 2023) – Fraudulence monitoring system of a table game and fraudulence monitoring program of table game.

The detection system in this disclosure tracks token positions and amounts using a chip-measuring device for each player on a game table. A control device then compares actual winnings and returns with calculated probabilities after games to identify any differences, pointing out the player, table, or room with significant deviations.

Troy A Mann ing

Troy Manning is the director of advanced memory systems for the DRAM Solutions Group at Micron Technology.

His research interests include system and CPU architecture, emerging memory architectures, and processing in memory.

Manning received a B.S. degree in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Iowa.

Patent №: 11726791 (August 15, 2023) – Generating and executing a control flow. Examples of the present disclosure provide apparatuses and methods for creating and carrying out a control flow. One device generates control flow instructions, and another device with memory cells and an execution unit executes these instructions on stored data.

Patent №: 11727963 (August 15, 2023) – Apparatuses and methods for performing logical operations using sensing circuitry.

Xiang Liu

Xiang Liu is the chief optical standards expert at Huawei Technologies. He has more than 20 years of working experience in the optical communication industry.

He had served as Vice President for Optical Transport and Access at Futurewei Technologies, focusing on optical technologies, standards, and industry development for optical transport and access networks.

Before joining Futurewei, he had been with Bell Labs working on high-speed optical transmission technologies for 14 years. He has authored over 350 publications.

Xiang received a Ph.D. degree in applied physics from Cornell University in 2000. He is a Fellow of the IEEE, a Fellow of the OSA, a Deputy Editor of Optics Express, an Advisory Board member of NGOF, and a steering committee member of ACP. Xiang has served as a Technical Program Co-Chair of OFC 2016, and a General Co-Chair of OFC 2018.

Patent №: 11724708 (August 15, 2023) – Fail-safe handling system for autonomous driving vehicle. This method and system detect malfunctions in autonomous driving vehicles (ADV). A backup system on a separate device checks software and hardware for malfunctions. When everything is fine, the autonomous driving system (ADS) operates, and the backup system monitors it. If a malfunction happens, the backup system takes control and responds based on the malfunction’s seriousness.

Patent №: 11724721 (August 15, 2023) – Method and apparatus for detecting pedestrian. A method involves these steps: getting a point cloud frame of a person, converting their point cloud data to a ground view, finding the shoulder line direction from the projected data, selecting a stable area based on the shoulder line direction (where the person’s movement changes less), and figuring out the person’s movement using the center point of this stable area across multiple frames.

Patent №: 11726212 (August 15, 2023) – Detector for point cloud fusion. This method checks the accuracy of all extrinsic matrices in an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV). Multiple point clouds from LIDAR devices are collected and filtered to find points in a specific region. The distribution of these points is analyzed to count peaks. The accuracy of the extrinsic matrices from LIDAR devices is determined by the number of peaks in the distribution.

Shumin Zhai

Currently Principal Scientist at Google (joined Google from IBM Research Jan 2011). 30+ years of track record in inventing, developing, and scaling novel human interface technologies including swipe typing/gesture keyboard, innovative text input, touch screen input algorithms and off-screen input methods, and mobile haptics.

Former editor-in-chief of ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction. Co-founder of ShapeWriter Inc. Member of ACM CHI Academy. Fellow of ACM.

Patent №:11727212(August 15, 2023) – Touch keyboard using a trained model. A device displays a graphical keyboard on a touch-sensitive screen, and when a user selects a group of keys with gestures, it analyzes the gesture’s characteristics. The device then adjusts a spatial model using these characteristics, combines it with a language model, and predicts a word based on this data. The predicted word is shown on the screen.

Todd Binion

Claim Section Manager at State Farm

Patent №: 11726763 (August 15, 2023) –Autonomous vehicle automatic parking.

diagram of an exemplary computer network, a mobile device, and an onboard computer.

This system monitors and prices insurance for vehicles with autonomous features. It identifies hazards like bad weather and guides the vehicle to a safe parking spot. Customers get insurance discounts for using this self-parking feature to protect their vehicles from damage.
