Patent number: 8136036Abstract: Large data sets are displayed and processed. User mark-up language display provides a plurality of line items, each line item including a checkbox. A name/value pair is generated and stored to a text string responsive to the user selecting a checkbox of a line item. The name/value pairs are parsed into a parameter names array and a parameter values array responsive to the user selecting a submit command. The parameter names array is processed to identify each parameter name containing a checkbox indicia, and for each parameter name containing a checkbox indicia, line item detail is retrieved from the detail arrays corresponding for display to the user, who may store a current document as a draft. The user selects or deselects a line item, and the parameter names array is again processed to identify new data available in, or old data no longer available in, the detail arrays.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2008Date of Patent: March 13, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Michael P.

Patent number: 6708908Abstract: An ionizing device generates ionizing lines to shape solvent borne coating material being dispersed from an electrostatic rotary atomizer. A band having a clamping element affixes the device to the electrostatic rotary atomizer. A halo is affixed to the band by at least one support arm. The halo includes a plurality of generally conical members spaced therearound, each generating ionic lines to shape the atomized coating material being dispersed from the rotary atomizer. A shroud is positioned around each of the generally conical members to shape the ionizing lines being generated to form an ionic field to improve the transfer efficiency of the electrostatic rotary atomizer.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2001Date of Patent: March 23, 2004Assignee: Behr Systems, Inc.Inventors: Robert F. Heldt, Thomas Loch, Jacob J. Braslaw, Michael P. Gibbons, Charles K. Altermatt

Patent number: 4182423Abstract: A wedge-shaped whipstock is provided for directional well drilling which tapers from the lead end to a thick section at the bottom, and is fabricated from a tough polymeric material. An adhesive coating is applied to the outside surface of the wedge for permanent adherence of the whipstock to the surface of the drill hole. A deformable highly viscous material can fill and complement the internal wedge portion to produce a cylindrical configuration prior to use. Alternatively, or in conjunction with the deformable viscous material, a compressive element having a shaped compression face and made from a frangible material may be formed on the drill bit and/or attached to the prepared whipstock for the lowering of the tool into the drill hole and bonding the whipstock in place. The bottom surface of the whipstock is reinforced for positioning in the hole over a bridge plug or broken drill pipe.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 1978Date of Patent: January 8, 1980Assignee: Burton/Hawks Inc.Inventors: Timothy D.
