Publication number: 20220211411Abstract: A needle assembly comprises an outer cannula having a longitudinally extending cannula wall with a sharpened distal tip. An inner surface of the cannula wall defines a longitudinally extending cannula lumen. A plunger housing is connected to a proximal end portion of the outer cannula. A plunger is received in the plunger housing and is spring biased in a proximal direction. An inner surface of a longitudinally extending plunger wall defines a plunger lumen aligned with the cannula lumen. The inner surface of a proximal end portion of the plunger wall has an orientation specific configuration. A needle is receivable in the plunger and cannula lumens. An outer surface of a proximal end portion of a longitudinally extending needle wall has an orientation specific configuration complementary to and fitting within the orientation specific configuration of the plunger wall. A cap covers the distal end portions of the plunger and the needle when the needle is received in the plunger and cannula lumens.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2021Publication date: July 7, 2022Inventor: Michael Forney

Patent number: 10726372Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a user interface that enables an administrator to monitor the status of one or more long-running processes executing on a system. According to one or more embodiments, information about the long-running processes is received, analyzed and converted into a single format. This information is then stored in a storage device in the single format. In response to a command request periodically received from a user interface, summary information about the one or more long-running processes is provided to, and displayed on, the user interface. Upon receipt of a user selection of at least a portion of the summary information, the user interface issues a second command request that is similar to the first command request, but includes additional parameters, to retrieve additional information about the selected summary information. Once the additional information is received, the additional information is presented on the user interface.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2017Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Sanjay Ramaswamy, Jimin Jia, Qi Ren, Wenjie Liang, Michael Forney, Michael Butler

Patent number: 7565613Abstract: A graphical user interface is disclosed. The interface includes an active document that has been created or opened by a user. The interface also includes a plurality of data display components that are displayed simultaneously with the active document. A user illustratively utilizes tools associated with an application to create an edit content within the document. The display components each contain an indication of data that is automatically selected based on a calculated assumption of contextual relevance to the user that is working with the active document. The individual items within each display component may be selected and listed in a ranked order based on an automatically computed determination of what is most likely to be of interest to the user. The content of the data display components may be automatically selected based on people-to-document, people-to-people and/or document-to-document associations.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2005Date of Patent: July 21, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventor: Michael Forney
