Patent number: 11269813Abstract: A temporary state service protocol is utilized by clients to temporarily store and access data within rows of a database between different requests made by end users. Each client creates and manages one or more items for storing data in rows of the database independently from other clients. An Application Programming Interface (API) is used to create and interact with the data that is temporarily stored in items within rows of the database. Different clients may share data within a single item and the data may persist beyond a session ending. Different rows of the database may be related such that a procedure affecting one of the rows affects its related rows.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2019Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: John Hartley Toews, Jacob Richard Pitts

Publication number: 20110185134Abstract: A temporary state service protocol is utilized by clients to temporarily store and access data within a temporary data store between different requests. Each client associated with a web page can create data in the data store independently from other clients for the same web page. An Application Programming Interface (API) is used to manage and interact with the data in the data store. The procedures in temporary state service protocol allow clients to add, modify, retrieve, and delete data in the data store. The clients may also use the API to place and remove virtual locks on instances of the data.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2010Publication date: July 28, 2011Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: JOHN HARTLEY TOEWS, JACOB RICHARD PITTS

Patent number: 7524401Abstract: A twin fabric hybrid forming section for paper making machine is described in which: the pitch of the fabric support elements decreases progressively in the machine direction; the level of vacuum applied to the forming fabrics through the dewatering boxes increases in the machine direction; the two forming fabrics together with the stock sandwiched between them traverse at least four separate and distinct vacuum zones within the forming section as they proceed in the machine direction; the level of vacuum applied to the last of the at least four separate and distinct vacuum zones is higher than the level of vacuum applied to the first of the separate and distinct vacuum zones; the level of vacuum applied to the at least four separate and distinct vacuum zones follows a preselected profile; and the dewatering boxes carrying the fabric support elements are arranged so that the fabric support elements are located in an alternating sequence on the machine sides of both of the forming fabrics.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2003Date of Patent: April 28, 2009Assignee: AstenJohnson, Inc.Inventors: Vaughn Wildfong, Richard Pitt, Thomas Helbig

Patent number: 6780286Abstract: A process, and an apparatus, for improving sheet properties in the initial impingement zone of a paper making machine including a forming section, a forming fabric moving in the machine direction and a head box having a head box slice which delivers a stock jet onto the moving forming fabric. The scale and intensity of agitation within the stock is adjusted by adjusting some of the support elements beneath the forming fabric adjacent the head box slice so that they either contact, or do not contact, the machine side surface of the forming fabric and observing the effect, if any, that the adjustment has on the quality of the sheet product being made on the paper making machine. This technique is of use in a papermaking machine forming section having a single open surface forming fabric, in the initial open surface section of a so-called hybrid gap former having two superposed forming fabrics, and in the forming section of a two fabric papermaking machine.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2002Date of Patent: August 24, 2004Assignee: AstenJohnson, Inc.Inventors: Roy Van Essen, Mark Landry, Richard Pitt

Patent number: 5735330Abstract: A forming section for a two-fabric paper machine using at least one formation blade having a shallow cavity in its top surface. The cavity is placed and dimensioned to withdraw fluid continuously from the stock, and to propel it back through the fabric and the incipient paper web into the stock so as to cause a controlled level of localized turbulence which serves to improve formation without causing excessive drainage or fines loss. The formation blade shape, in conjunction with the forming fabric tension, is configured to provide a hydraulic seal between the fabric and the stock, so that all of the withdrawn fluid is returned to the stock.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 1996Date of Patent: April 7, 1998Assignee: JWI Ltd.Inventors: Werner Buchmann, Michael McMahon, Richard Pitt
