Patent number: 10713390Abstract: A computer-implemented technique is described herein for removing sensitive content from documents in a manner that preserves the usefulness of the documents for subsequent analysis. For instance, the technique obscures sensitive content in the documents, while retaining meaningful information in the documents for subsequent processing by a machine-learning engine or other machine-implemented analysis mechanisms. According to one illustrative aspect, the technique removes sensitive content from documents using a modification strategy that is chosen based on one or more selection factors. One selection factor pertains to the nature of the processing that is to be performed on the documents after they have been anonymized.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2017Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Curtis Dean Anderson, Robert Leslie Rounthwaite, Michael Dean Stokes, Mari Jean Broman Olsen, Michelle Elena Keslin, Erik Thomas Oveson, Tomasz Lukasz Religa

Patent number: 10525919Abstract: A component for a vehicle comprises two or more first members each formed of a plateable resin and defining a front surface, wherein the front surfaces of the first members (i) are spaced apart from each other such that they appear discontinuous and (ii) collectively correspond to an outer surface of the component, a second member formed of a non-plateable resin and connected to each of the first members and a chrome plating applied to one or more exposed surfaces of each of the first members. A method of manufacturing the component involves utilizing one or more molds and removing a non-plated component comprising the first members and the second member from one of the one or more molds, attaching the non-plated component to a plating rack, such as via a permanent or temporary conductive circuit, and then performing the chrome plating.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2017Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: SRG Global Inc.Inventors: Rob Frayer, William Doroghazi, Marlon Dean Anderson

Publication number: 20190387753Abstract: An inclusive steaming system for baking dough and method of baking bread enhances the baking of baguettes by providing an elongated baking container is preheatable to high heat prior to receiving dough. A water-capture platform positions in the cavity of baking container, in a parallel, spaced-apart relationship with bottom wall of baking container. The water-capture platform forms a depression that captures melted ice water. When heated, the water-capture platform generates steam in cavity of baking container from melted ice droplets. A perforated baking panel positions in the cavity of baking container, in an elevated relationship from water-capture platform. The baking panel forms a middle ice trough for ice, and a pair of outer dough troughs for receiving elongated dough. As baking container is heated, steam is generated Spacing and perforation in baking panel provides optimal environment for steam circulation around the dough, creating a crunchy outer crust and chewy crumb.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2019Publication date: December 26, 2019Inventor: Dean Anderson

Patent number: 9094138Abstract: An approach is provided in which a data collection system loads a user interface form on a display screen. The user interface form includes an entry field and an extraction formula with a corresponding element type that adheres to an industry-specific schema. The data collection system receives a data packet from a broadcast device, which includes an element value and an element type identifier adhering to the same industry-specific schema. In turn, the data collection system determines whether the element type identifier matches the element type and, if so, the data collection system populates the entry field on the display screen with the element value.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2011Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Erik Dean Anderson, William Arthur Griffith, Indran Naick

Patent number: 9067091Abstract: A damper actuator assembly comprises a gear train including a follower gear. The follower gear is arranged such that the position of the follower gear indicates the position of at least one blocking member of a damper that the actuator is connected to. A sensor is positioned within the damper actuator and is configured to monitor the position of the follower gear. Accordingly, the sensor is configured to provide an electrical signal indicative of the position of the follower gear to a processor. A driving member is connected to the gear train and is configured to drive the gear train at two or more variable speeds depending on the electrical signal provided to the processor from the sensor.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2006Date of Patent: June 30, 2015Assignee: SIEMENS INDUSTRY, INC.Inventors: Guy Caliendo, Dean Anderson, Pankaj Kalore
