Patent number: 11961628Abstract: Aspects relate to patterned nanostructures having a feature size not including film thickness of below 5 microns. The patterned nanostructures are made up of nanoparticles having an average particle size of less than 100 nm. A nanoparticle composition, which, in some cases, includes a binder, is applied to a substrate. A patterned mold used in concert with electromagnetic radiation function to manipulate the nanoparticle composition in forming the patterned nanostructure. In some embodiments, the patterned mold nanoimprints a pattern onto the nanoparticle composition and the composition is cured through UV or thermal energy. Three-dimensional patterned nanostructures may be formed. A number of patterned nanostructure layers may be prepared and joined together. In some cases, a patterned nanostructure may be formed as a layer that is releasable from the substrate upon which it is initially formed.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2023Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTSInventors: James Watkins, Michael R.

Patent number: 11954014Abstract: An automated system is presented for unit testing an application in a mainframe execution environment. A plurality of stub objects reside in the mainframe execution environment, such that each stub object in the plurality of stub objects represents a different stub type. A command translator table is configured with an entry for each command available for an online transaction processor. Each entry in the command translator table specifies a stub type for the command and includes a listing of possible arguments associated with the given command, such that each possible argument in the listing of possible arguments has a specified category type. A test configurator executes in the mainframe execution environment and is configured to receive and parse a test input file. A setup routine interacts with the test configurator to receive records from the test input file.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: BMC Software, Inc.Inventors: Glenn Everitt, Douglas Watkins, Sheldon Spurrell, James Wright

Patent number: 11836479Abstract: A technique for deploying an experimental version of a webpage includes using a mimic component to emulate functionality of a corresponding hidden UI component. The technique provides for receiving user input at the mimic component and, in response to the user input, executing a functional code block that bidirectionally communicates with an underlying platform code to update state data of the hidden UI component. The technique further provides for detecting, at the mimic component, an update to the state data of the hidden UI component, in response to the detection, updating state data of the mimic component based on the updated state data of the hidden UI component.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2022Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventor: Justin James Watkins

Patent number: 11285045Abstract: Improvements to helmet assemblies with flip-type welding visors are provided. In one embodiment, a return mechanism applies a predetermined force to a wireform spring. The return mechanism applies a force between a welding visor and a grinding shell, while concurrently reducing rotational forces needed to flip up the welding visor from the grinding shell. In another embodiment, a combination of an adjustable spring and a slide stop provides an adjustable stopping position for the wireform spring. The adjustable stopping position permits adjustable balancing of the forces that are applied to the wireform spring.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2017Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: A.C.E.
