Patent number: 10564989Abstract: A first thread receives a start movement command and a parametric curve from a second thread in response to the second thread receiving an input to move an element that is rendered in an interface. The parametric curve defines parameters for movement of an element. The first thread calculates a positioning of the element on the interface using the parametric curve. Then, the first thread positions the element in the interface based on the positioning and continues to calculate the positioning and position the element in the interface using the parametric curve until a stop movement command is received from the second thread.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2017Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology LicensingInventors: Kevin M. Babbitt, Rossen Atanassov, Ian J. Prest, Bogdan Brinza, Samuel R. Fortiner, Richard K. James

Patent number: 10424041Abstract: A first thread sends a rendering request for a scalable video graphics operation using a scalable video graphics object to a second thread. The second thread processes the scalable video graphics operation to render the scalable video graphics object using a first set of parameters that is stored in a data structure. The first thread performs a computation that calculates a second set of parameters for the scalable video graphics operation and stores the second set of parameters in the data structure. The first thread sends a signal to the second thread indicating that the first set of parameters have changed to the second set of parameters to allow the second thread to synchronize and use the second set of parameters to process the scalable video graphics operation.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2017Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Ian J. Prest, Rossen Atanassov, Kevin M. Babbitt, Bogdan Brinza, Samuel R. Fortiner, Richard K. James

Publication number: 20070210215Abstract: An inclined support system for a drain hose enhances drainage of wastewater from a holding tank of a recreational vehicle to a disposal facility. The support system includes one or more sawhorse-like fixtures with legs having slanted lower edges in contact with the ground to provide an inclined drain hose supporting cross member. The legs pivot about the cross member and upon insertion of the drain hose intermediate the legs above the cross member, the upper ends of the legs bear thereagainst to define and stabilize the cant or splay of the legs. Upon removal of the hose, the elements of the fixture are foldable to a compact flattened configuration for storage. In another embodiment, one or more slotted cylindrical elements serve as a support for the drain hose. A plurality of pairs of descending length legs are detachably attachable within opposed channels depending from the support to place the support at an incline and enhance the flow of fluid through the drain hose.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2006Publication date: September 13, 2007Inventor: J.

Publication number: 20070175847Abstract: Opposed walls of three hingedly attached grid walls are secured to one another by a first strap having folded back ends for partially encircling a segment of a wire element of each opposed grid wall. A second strap is placed adjacent the first strap with the ends of the second strap bearing against the partially encircled wire elements to retain the wire elements within the respective folded back ends. Nylon ties or bolts may be used to secure the first and second straps to one another. Two or more pairs of first and second straps support a grid wall serving as a shelf and the shelf may be secured to the straps by pairs of nylon ties. To provide mobility to the display rack, fixed or pivotable wheels are supported by the lowermost pairs of first and second straps and may be secured thereto by nylon ties or by nut and bolt combinations. A billboard unit having four panels is formed by two three-segmented panels placed orthogonally upon one another to permit upward bending of the pairs of outer panels.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2006Publication date: August 2, 2007Inventor: J.

Publication number: 20050155178Abstract: A rug for use on a step of a depth less than the width of the rug includes sets of male and female snap locks for engaging an edge of the rug to the surface of the step. Similar sets of snap locks are attached to an opposed edge of the rug for attachment to a riser supporting the step. Sets of hook and loop fasteners may be disposed on opposed edges of the rug intermediate the snap locks to secure the edges to the respective step and riser. Because of the overlap feature of the rug that extends onto the riser, the rug is capable of covering steps of different depth.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2004Publication date: July 21, 2005Inventor: J.
