Patent number: 11956508Abstract: In some embodiments, a method receives a context for a user account and selects a plurality of collections for an interface. A collection includes one or more instances of content. The method analyzes a context for a user account to select a theme from a plurality of themes for a collection in the plurality of collections. The themes in the plurality of themes apply different display formats to the collection. The method sends an identifier for the theme and information for the collection to a client device being used by the user account to indicate to the interface the theme to use to display the collection with the plurality of collections.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: HULU, LLCInventors: Trevor Callow, Mike Avitabile, Erika Palmer, Matthew Chun, Lena Bareket, Linda Sum, Darshana Umakanth, Dominic Hopton, Jason Wong, Yu Zhao, Heather Cho, Zachary Hinton, Josh Maldonado

Patent number: 11599337Abstract: A method for configuring a first computer executable program includes through a user interface, receiving information indicative of a source of data and a data target; and receiving a characterization of a process, including a type of the process and values for characteristics associated with the process. The method includes based on the received information, automatically assigning values to respective parameters of the first computer executable program to cause the first computer executable program to, when executed, receive data from the source of data and output data to the data target. The method includes automatically configuring the first computer executable program to reference a second computer executable program, including identifying the second computer executable program based on the type of the process; and assigning values to respective parameters of the second computer executable program based on the values for the respective characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2021Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: Ab Initio Technology LLCInventors: Richard A. Epstein, Mike Palmer

Patent number: 10212924Abstract: The topside trolling reel is an adapter that attaches a trolling reel to the bottom side of a spin casting reel. The trolling reel is further defined with a cage, a spool, a tensioner, a handle, and a trolling reel foot. The cage is further defined with a first end disk, a second end disk, and a plurality of cage bars. The topside trolling reel comprises a trolling reel and a spinning rod adapter. The spinning rod adapter attaches the cage of the trolling reel to the traditional bottom mount of a spin casting reel rod. In the first potential embodiment of the disclosure, the spinning rod adapter is attached to the cage of the trolling reel using four readily and commercially available screws. The spinning rod adapter is then attached normally to a reel seat provisioned spin casting reel rod.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2017Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Inventor: Mike Palmer

Patent number: 8291681Abstract: A mechanism for tightening a partially threaded cap on a container passing along a production line. The mechanism includes a first member having a first end and a second end. The first end being structured to be coupled at or near the production line and the second end being rotatable with respect to the first end. The mechanism further including a second member coupled to the second end of the first member and rotatable therewith. The second member having a plurality of cap engaging portions, each of the cap engaging portions being structured to engage the partially threaded cap on a container passing along the production line in a manner that tightens the partially threaded cap.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2009Date of Patent: October 23, 2012Assignee: International Plastics and Equipment Corp.Inventors: Mike Palmer, Nick Kulka

Patent number: 7939781Abstract: In many cases, the coating material of coated sheet metal has a significantly lower boiling point than the sheet metal material. Thus, an explosive vaporization of coating material can occur when sheet metal of this type is joined by welding, negatively affecting the quality of the connection. To improve the connection quality, narrow gaps are created by means of spacers, allowing the vaporized coating material to escape through said gaps. The spacers are created e.g. by the laser radiation of the sheet metal. The aim of the invention is to reduce the variations in distance between the sheet metal sheets by the appropriate shaping of the spacers. This is achieved by a method, in which the laser beam executes a movement comprising transverse and longitudinal components through and/or around the center of its processing surface. This creates a topographical modification with a spherical form, i.e. with an apex radius that is greater than the height of said topographical modification.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2005Date of Patent: May 10, 2011Assignee: Daimler AGInventors: Wolfgang Becker, Jens Bühler, Klaus Goth, Mike Palmer, Claus-Dieter Reiniger, Daniel Zauner
