Patent number: 9621953Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for presenting segments of an uncensored version of a media asset on a second device while a censored version of the media asset is displayed on a first device. These systems and methods alert a user when segments of the uncensored version of the media asset do not overlap with the censored version, i.e., the uncensored version contains inappropriate content that is censored. Subsequent to alerting the user, the segment of the uncensored version is presented on the second device.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2016Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: Rovi Guides, Inc.Inventors: Charles Oliver Holcomb, Jennifer Danielle Lamm, Courtney R. Vann

Patent number: 9602871Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for presenting segments of an uncensored version of a media asset on a second device while a censored version of the media asset is displayed on a first device. These systems and methods allow a user to view only the segments of the uncensored version of the media asset that do not overlap with the censored version, i.e., the inappropriate content that is censored. During a defined timeframe, the system presents the audio portion or the audio and video portion of the uncensored media asset on the second device, but does not present them otherwise. In some instances, the system enables both the audio and video of the uncensored version on the second device throughout the entirety of the media asset, but selectively mutes and unmutes the audio based on determining non-overlapping segments.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2016Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: Rovi Guides, Inc.Inventors: Charles Oliver Holcomb, Jennifer Danielle Lamm, Courtney R.

Publication number: 20170028160Abstract: An expiratory therapy device (100) has a disc (21) mounted at right angles in the expiratory gas passage (9). The disc (21) is rotated about an axis at right angles to the passage (9) by an electric motor (23) at a speed that is independent of the respiratory pressure exerted by the patient during use. The motor (23) and its control (30) are located in a drive unit (25) that can be removed from the device (100) for reuse on another device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2015Publication date: February 2, 2017Applicant: SMITHS MEDICAL INTERNATIONAL LIMITEDInventor: Mark Charles OLIVER

Publication number: 20170020776Abstract: A respiratory therapy system includes a vibratory expiratory therapy device through which the patient exhales to set up vibrations within the chest. An array of piezoelectric vibration sensors is mounted on the patient's chest and supplies vibration outputs to a processor, which in turn provides an output to a display indicative of impedance of different regions of the chest.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2014Publication date: January 26, 2017Applicant: SMITHS MEDICAL INTERNATIONAL LIMITEDInventors: Mohammad Qassim Mohammad Khasawneh, Mark Charles Oliver, Mark Sinclair Varney

Publication number: 20160331917Abstract: Respiratory therapy apparatus includes an oscillating expiratory therapy device (100) and pressure and flow sensors (20 and 21) in the patient inlet (7) connected to supply signals to a processor (24). The processor (24) includes artificial intelligence software to correlate the output signals with prescribed values and control a feedback device (26) that prompts the patient accordingly to adjust use of the device as necessary. The feedback device (26) may be of a visual, audible or tangible kind. The processor (24) may also automatically adjust a setting dial (5) of the therapy device (100) by means of an actuator (27).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2014Publication date: November 17, 2016Applicant: SMITHS MEDICAL INTERNATIONAL LIMITEDInventors: Paul James Leslie Bennett, Robert James Burchell, Mohammad Qassim Mohammad Khasawneh, Mark Charles Oliver, Mark Sinclair Varney

Publication number: 20160321274Abstract: Data to be moved from a source system to a target system, for a set of tenants, is first identified. The data is enumerated by a first computing instance in the source system to obtain an enumeration list. Data is copied from the source system to the target system based on the enumeration list by a second computing instance. The data in the source and target systems is then enumerated by a third computing instance to determine whether any data is still to be moved and another enumeration list is generated. The data still to be moved is then moved based on the other enumeration list.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2015Publication date: November 3, 2016Inventors: Shyam Narayan, Burra Gopal, Adrian Fanaru, James Rupke, David Charles Oliver, Daniel Keith Winter, Parul Manek

Publication number: 20160321461Abstract: A data file is encrypted with a file-specific encryption key and sent to a remote data storage system. The file-specific encryption key is encrypted with a master key. The encrypted file-specific encryption key and the master key are both stored remotely from the encrypted file and they are stored remotely from one another.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2015Publication date: November 3, 2016Inventors: David Charles Oliver, Ming-Wei Wang, Mingquan Xue, Christopher Paul Holder, Daniel Keith Winter, Parul Manek

Publication number: 20160321133Abstract: A post-encryption checksum is generated for a file to be stored on a remote storage location. It can be generated before sending the encrypted file to the remote storage system. A post-write checksum can be received from the remote storage system. The post-write checksum is generated after the encrypted file is written there. A comparison of the two checksums indicates whether the file has been correctly written to the remote storage system.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2015Publication date: November 3, 2016Inventors: David Charles Oliver, Ming-wei Wang, Dan Winter, Parul Manek

Patent number: 9477337Abstract: Conductive trace routing techniques for display and bezel sensors are described. In one or more implementations, an apparatus includes display sensors, bezel sensors, and a plurality of conductive traces. The display sensors are configured to detect proximity of an object and are arranged in conjunction with a display area of a display device to support interaction with a user interface displayed by the display device. The bezel sensors are configured to detect proximity of an object and are disposed in a bezel that at least partially surrounds the display device and is outside the display area. The plurality of conductive traces are disposed between the display and bezel sensors and communicatively couple the display sensors and the bezel sensors to one or more computing components that are configured to process inputs received from the display sensors and the bezel sensors.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2014Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Andrew N.

Patent number: 8800562Abstract: A resuscitator has two separate, spaced controls (23) and (30) both of which can be actuated manually to open a valve (100) and deliver a breathing cycle of a maximum timed duration to a patient. One control (23) has a button (24) on the top (13) of the unit (1), which is pushed in to actuate. A ring (25) surrounds the button (24) and has cam profiles (122) that engage with cam pins (120) on the button to push and hold it down when rotated. The other control (30) is on the underside surface (14), facing the patient and adjacent the gas outlet (5). This control includes a toggle lever (31), which can be displaced laterally in two different planes to open the valve (100).Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2005Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: Smiths Group PLCInventors: Robert James Burchell, Mark Charles Oliver, Brian Alan Willatts

Patent number: 8744999Abstract: As changes are made to a document, each change may be assigned an extended identifier comprising a globally unique identifier (GUID) component and an integer component. Upon determining that the same GUID component is used in identifiers for multiple changes, the GUID component may be mapped to a range of indices. Each index of the range of indices may then be used to represent the same GUID component in each extended identifier.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2012Date of Patent: June 3, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Simon Peter Clarke, David Charles Oliver, Brent James Van Minnen, Miko Arnab S Bose
