Patent number: 11977556Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor and a memory on which is stored machine-readable instructions that when executed by the processor, may cause the processor to receive a request for result data from a requestor and determine queries to create the result data. The processor may determine a subset of a data set based on the queries. The subset of the data set may be displayed in small multiples by the requestor. The processor may output the subset of the data set as the result data to the requestor. In some examples, the processor may receive a request for additional result data from the requestor. The processor may determine a second subset of the data set to be displayed in the small multiples and output the second subset of the data set as the additional result data to the requestor.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2023Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Anca Gentiana Coman, John Herschel Vulner, Jonathan Christian Ludwig, Justin Evan Schneider, Ramy Saroufim

Patent number: 11668083Abstract: A system for automatic dispensing of a liquid into a toilet bowl includes a dispenser and a liquid refill cartridge. The dispenser mechanically interfaces with the toilet tank and connects with the water supply therein. When the toilet is flushed, fresh water flows from the float valve into the dispenser, and then back into the toilet bowl via the overfill tube. Within the dispenser, the water flow is constricted through an integral venturi before exiting. The venturi yields a pressure differential inside the dispenser that pulls liquid from the refill cartridge and into the outflow of water. A specified volume of liquid is drawn from the liquid refill cartridge and dispersed into the toilet bowl after every flush, without the use of electronics. The liquid may be an odor blocking liquid, a scented liquid, a colorant, enzymes, or a cleaning solution, among others.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2021Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Inventors: Evan Schneider, Daniel Haarburger

Publication number: 20220131918Abstract: A system for transferring a playback of media content from a first network-connected playback device to a second network-connected playback device is disclosed. The system includes a processor; a computer-readable non-transitory storage media with instructions that cause the processor to perform operations including: receiving, at a media navigation device, a request to transfer a playback marker of the media content from the first playback device to the second playback device; responsive to receiving the request, stopping a playback of the media content on the first playback device, wherein the playback marker indicates a stop timecode within a timeline associated with the media content at which the playback of the media content is stopped on the first playback device; responsive to the media navigation device being within a predetermined distance to the second playback device, automatically resuming playback of the media content on the second playback device at the stop timecode.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2022Publication date: April 28, 2022Inventor: Evan Schneider

Patent number: 11223665Abstract: A media content system has a receiver that receives a request to transfer a playback marker from a first network-connected playback device to a second network-connected playback device, and receives the playback marker from the first network-connected playback device. The playback marker indicates a time at which playback of media content is stopped at the first network-connected playback device. Further, the media content system has a processor that generates a stop command to perform the stoppage of the playback of the media content at the first network-connected playback device, and generates a play command to perform playback resumption at the playback marker within the media content at the second network-connected playback device. Additionally, the media content system has a transmitter that sends the playback marker to the second network-connected playback device such that the second network-connected device performs the playback resumption at the time indicated by the playback marker.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2019Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: DISNEY ENTERPRISES, INC.Inventor: Evan Schneider

Patent number: 10625221Abstract: A Venturi device for introducing a second fluid into a first fluid includes a T-joint, a converging component, and a diverging component. The T-joint component includes a first elongated tube extending along a first direction and a second elongated tube extending along a second direction being perpendicular to the first direction. The converging component is shaped and dimensioned to slip fit within a first through-opening of the first elongated tube through a first inlet port and has a cross-section that decreases along the first direction from the first inlet port to an inner section of the first though-opening. The diverging component is shaped and dimensioned to slip fit within the first through-opening of the first elongated tube through an outlet port and has a cross-section that increases along the first direction from the inner section of the first though-opening to the outlet port. The converging component is coaxially aligned with the diverging component along the first direction.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2017Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Inventors: Evan Schneider, Alexander Mitchell
