Patent number: 9305471Abstract: A display system for use by a caregiver team in managing a patient includes a substrate panel arranged to be suspended on a wheelchair with a clock face printed on the front surface with at least one manually movable hand to display a selected time. A first window display on the front surface is manually set a selected time period to visit the patient. A plurality of alternate operations on the patient to reduce pressure issues is printed on the rear and a selected one is indicated to the caregiver by moving a marker so that the caregiver is required by the clock time on the clock face to attend the patient, to carry out the selected action and to reset the clock time by an increment determined by the time period and so that the failure to attend the patient is immediately visible.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2015Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: Safe Moves Injury Prevention Solutions Inc.Inventors: Matthew Peter Braun, Robin Lee Diduch, Guy Henry Daniel Woods

Patent number: 9251766Abstract: A technique for generating content for a stereo 3D display buffer having both stereo 3D graphic objects and non-stereo 3D graphic objects that may be utilized to render stereo 3D content onto one or more windows of a display. The technique incorporates content from stereo 3D application frame buffers into a composition tree that represents the graphic objects in each window displayed on a computing device. At each refresh cycle, the composition tree is traversed to generate content for a stereo 3D display buffer that is then used to draw one or more windows onto a display.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2011Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLC.Inventors: Andrei Baioura, Reiner Fink, Deepali Bhagvat, Daniel Wood, Max McMullen, Mohamed Sadek, Ameet Chitre, Mary Luo, Alice Tang

Patent number: 9132844Abstract: A mounting arrangement 10 for mounting a utility 26 to an end 16 of a post 17. The mounting arrangement 10 includes an attachment member 11 for attachment to the post 17 fixed against rotation when attached to the post 17. A rotatable member 12 is connected to the attachment member 11 and is rotatable relative to the attachment member 11 about the axis of the post 17. The rotatable member 12 includes a connection arrangement 13 for connecting a utility 26 to the rotatable member 12, so that the utility 26 can rotate with the rotatable member 12. The rotatable member 12 is rotatable between first and second positions. A cooperating arrangement comprising at least one abutment 35, 37, 38, 42 is provided for cooperation with the rotatable member 12 to facilitate accurate return of the rotatable member 12 from the second position to the first position.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2012Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: SIEMENS RAIL AUTOMATION PTY.

Publication number: 20150064994Abstract: Disclosed herein is a self-propelled personal water craft including a parabolic hull. The hull has a bow, mid-section and stern. The mid-section has substantially reduced diameter compared with the bow and stern section defining an hour-glass hull shape. The hull including an upper portion and a lower portion, a hollow space is created between the upper and lower portions and defines a central portion. The lower portion includes structure for manipulating water drag. Additionally, the craft includes a motor member for propelling the craft. In an exemplary embodiment, the motor member includes an axial flow jet pump.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2013Publication date: March 5, 2015Inventor: Jason Daniel Woods

Publication number: 20150064995Abstract: A self-propelled personal watercraft. The watercraft includes a hull with a middle narrower than a bow and a stern of the watercraft and with a bottom of the bow being raised with respect to the middle and the stern, and a propulsion device within the hull. While the watercraft is propelled through water by the propulsion device with a rider on board, shifting of the rider's weight to either side of the watercraft increases contact of the bow with the water on that side, the increased contact resulting in increased drag and turning the watercraft to that side. While the watercraft is propelled through water by the propulsion device with the rider on board and the watercraft is not turning, the bottom of the bow makes contact with the water across a narrower distance than the bottom of the middle.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2014Publication date: March 5, 2015Applicant: Inventive Design Group, Inc.Inventors: Jason Daniel WOODS, Mark WOODWARD

Publication number: 20140368519Abstract: To manage dynamic adjustment of the refresh rate of a computer display, the operating system defines at least two playback modes: one or more custom modes that can be selected by applications, and a standard mode which is a default setting for the system that can be expected by applications. The operating system provides an application programming interface that enables an application to request using a custom mode. If approved to use the custom mode, then the application presents frames for display based on the custom mode. The operating system stores timing data for each buffered frame indicating how to play the frame in both standard mode and the custom mode. If a transition back to the standard mode occurs, the operating system uses the timing data to properly present frames of video until the application stops generating frames of video in the custom mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2013Publication date: December 18, 2014Inventors: Daniel Wood, Vlad Alexandrov, Zhigang Xu, Max McMullen, Marcus Andrews, Bennett Sorbo, Andrei Baioura, Mikhail Leonov

Publication number: 20140359488Abstract: An operating system of a computer provides an interface, such as an application programming interface, through which applications on that computer can store link data in a consistent format across applications and resources. Thus, when an application stores link data, it sends a command to the operating system providing the link data, invoking a command to store the link data. When an application retrieves link data, it sends a command to the operating system to retrieve link data. Thus, an application can store link data for a history of resources accessed, favorite resources accessed, and other types of resources to be accessed. As a result, the operating system provides a single mechanism for a heterogeneous set of applications and a heterogeneous set of resources to store link data in a single repository.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2013Publication date: December 4, 2014Inventors: Eric Bahna, Anshul Rawat, Aaron Butcher, Joshua Kaplan, Brett Waldbaum, Daniel Wood, Yuan-Chou Chung, Mary-Lynne Williams, Ana Lilia Otero Diaz
