Publication number: 20240027055Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are described herein for adjusting the spot size of light provided from a surgical light by translating a focus panel relative to a plurality of light emitters. The focus panel can be mounted to the housing of the surgical light such that the focus panel can translate relative to the housing in an axial direction toward and away from the plurality of light emitters. The focus panel can engage with one or more tracks that are movably mounted relative to the housing and controlled via at least one actuator. The actuator(s) can be configured to translate the focus panel towards or away from the plurality of light emitters to adjust the spot size of light provided by the surgical light via the engagement between the focus panel and the one or more tracks.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Applicant: Stryker CorporationInventors: David Patrick CHASE, Gianni BOCCOLERI

Patent number: 11188545Abstract: A system and method for calculating quality score for digital content are provided. In example embodiments, a first graph is generated comprising a user node and an article node, the user node corresponds to a user and the article node corresponds to an article. An edge is generated between the user node and the article node in the first graph based on a first action. A second graph is generated comprising the user node and the article node. An edge is generated between the user node and the article node in the second graph based on a second action type. A first authority score is calculated for the article node within the first graph. A second authority score is calculated for the article node within the second graph. A quality score is calculated for the article.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2019Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: David Golland, Eric Huang, Patrick Chase, Alexandre Patry, Shakti Dhirendraji Sinha

Patent number: 10042897Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. During operation, the system obtains one or more metrics associated with user interaction with a set of content items in a member segment of a social network. Next, the system ranks the set of content items by the one or more metrics. The system then generates a content pool for the member segment based on the ranking of the content items. Finally, the system creates a content feed from the content pool for presentation to a user in the member segment.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2015Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Timothy P. Jurka, Patrick A. Chase, Claire D. McGinty, Andrew O. Hatch, Alejandro Jorge Perez, Michael Conover, Samuel Stokes, Gregory W. Bayer, Akshay D. Kothari, Ankit Gupta

Publication number: 20160350669Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. During operation, the system obtains a set of content pools for a user, wherein each content pool in the set of content pools includes a set of content items associated with user activity in a member segment of a social network. Next, the system calculates a set of probabilities of clicking the content items in the content pool. The system then uses the probabilities to order the content items with other content items from other content pools into a content feed for the user. Finally, the system presents the content feed to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2015Publication date: December 1, 2016Applicant: LINKEDIN CORPORATIONInventors: Timothy P. Jurka, Patrick A. Chase, Claire D. McGinty, Andrew O. Hatch, Alejandro Jorge Perez, Michael Conover, Samuel Stokes, Gregory W. Bayer, Akshay D. Kothari, Ankit Gupta

Patent number: 8483961Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for flight validation (FV) are provided. Embodiments implement the requirements of FAA Notice 8260.67 as they relate to FV. Embodiments enable FV to be performed in its entirety, including flight and/or ground obstacle assessment, and on-course/on-path flight evaluation. Embodiments enable a post-flight validation phase, which provides post flight analysis and archiving capabilities. Using embodiments, a person of minimal skill and training can perform FV as prescribed by FAA requirements. Accordingly, significant costs associated with hiring professional surveyors and air crews to perform obstacle assessment and flight evaluation can be eliminated. Embodiments can be implemented using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) and relatively inexpensive hardware, making them suitable for large-scale FV operations.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2010Date of Patent: July 9, 2013Assignee: The MITRE CorporationInventors: Jeremy Patrick Irish, Steve Patrick Chase, Adric Eckstein, Timothy Lovell
