Patent number: 10684759Abstract: Methods and systems of managing settings are described. According to various embodiments, a settings page corresponding to a user's settings on an online service may be caused to be displayed on a device. The settings page may comprise selectable category setting options for a setting category. The setting category may have a plurality of subcategories, and each subcategory may have its own selectable subcategory setting options. Each one of the category setting options may correspond to its own distinct configuration of subcategory setting options for its subcategories. A user input indicating a selection of one of the category setting options for the setting category may be received. The configuration of subcategory setting options corresponding to the selected one of the category setting options for the setting category may be applied to the user's settings on the online service.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2016Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Divya Jindal, Ian Alexander Lindsay, Johan Rindegard, Sara Harrington, Sarah E. Clatterbuck, Sean Sands, Shernaz R. Pavri, Steven Foote, Timothy Lindvall, II, Erika Rottenberg

Patent number: 9475710Abstract: A point of use irrigation water fertigation system utilizes plasma production of nitrogen-bearing species. Soluble nitrogen-bearing species are generated using an atmospheric air plasma treatment of an irrigation water supply. A plasma is generated by a tube having an air intake. A high frequency generator generates atmospheric plasma. The end of the tube is placed above the surface of the irrigation water supply and the plasma emanating from the tube generates nitrogen species in the water. The non-thermal plasma discharge efficiently produces highly reactive radicals and NOx species that have impact on water chemistry including inactivation of microorganisms with high efficacy and accelerated removal of persistent organic pollutants such as perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) from water samples. Plasma ignition can be initiated with a low flow of helium gas injection. Upon ignition, the gas is transitioned to a helium/room air mix, immediately followed by a transition to ambient room air only.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2014Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: North Carolina State UniversityInventors: Steven C. Shannon, Detlef Knappe, Brandon Byrns, Daniel Wooten, Alexander Lindsay

Patent number: 8245204Abstract: Managing program function parameters using compiler directives is provided. A parameter management system can include a compiler coupled to a primary symbol-type dictionary and a supplemental symbol-type dictionary containing parameter data for specific function calls of corresponding generic type functions. Notably, directive processing logic can be configured both to populate the supplemental symbol-type dictionary based upon processor directives embedded in source code, and also to substitute specific function calls for generic function calls in the source code as specified in the supplemental symbol-type dictionary.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2007Date of Patent: August 14, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ying Chau Raymond Mak, Wang Dong Chen, Larry Alexander Lindsay

Patent number: 4450580Abstract: A pair of handles for a shopping bag, each handle having a base and a bail molded of one-piece plastic construction, are disclosed. The opposite ends of the bail are integrally connected to the base in a manner so as to impart an aesthetically pleasing, generally flat appearance to the bag in the regions overlying the bail ends. The bail has a twisted hand grip portion having a smooth lower surface free of sharp edges to facilitate carrying the bag.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 1982Date of Patent: May 22, 1984Assignee: Modern Arts Packaging, Inc.Inventor: Alexander Lindsay
