Patent number: 9332849Abstract: A collapsible chair has a frame selectively moveable between a collapsed configuration of the chair and an extended configuration of the chair, and a seat that is coupled to the frame. The seat has a first material layer and a second material layer wherein the first layer and the second layer cooperatively define a seat pocket. A seat pad is selectively moveable between a stored configuration wherein the seat pad is located in the seat pocket and a portable configuration inside the seat membrane pocket and a portable configuration, wherein the seat pad is removed from the seat pocket and usable as a portable seat pad.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2014Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: Exxel Outdoors, LLCInventors: Matt Wagner, Scott Neilson

Patent number: 8498985Abstract: Data elevation architecture for automatically and dynamically surfacing to a user interface (UI) context-specific data based on specific workflow or content currently being worked on by a user. Data is broken down into data elements and stored at a data element level in a data catalog using metadata, attributes, and relationships. Data elements are automatically selected from a comprehensive collection of the data catalogs based on relevancy and correlation to the current user task. The data catalog stores and relates the data elements and metadata based on criteria specified by content matching based on business terms or specified in a business process in predefined relationships between forms or specified by the user as correlated. The UI displays the data automatically in forms dynamically selected, populated, and presented at the point of focus or user activity so that the user can interact or take action immediately.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2011Date of Patent: July 30, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jeanine E. Spence, Kathleen Linscott, Scott Neilson, Wai Chan, David M. Bozich, Craig Combel, Rob Nichols

Patent number: 7689583Abstract: Architecture that defines a document or portions thereof as data elements that are related and categorized. A data catalog is created that uses a schema for the data elements and a set of relationships, attributes and values that further define the data elements, all stored as metadata about the data elements. The metadata is employed to enable the application, display surface, and user to see only data relevant to the task at hand. The positioning and grouping of controls, control characteristics, and control behavior at the display surface is facilitated by forms which are dynamically populated for presentation and which are driven directly by the data catalog. The catalog can be made aware of device parameters, for example, the display size and resolution thereby enabling data to be displayed differently based upon the device parameters.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2006Date of Patent: March 30, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: David M.

Publication number: 20080065580Abstract: A unified workspace (UWS) design that provides a single system-wide display and interaction surface, and a set of tools that allow a user to discover relevant information. Data is surfaced across boundaries of applications and documents and stored implicitly from preset business logic or explicitly from user demand. Data can be implicitly and explicitly queried and aggregated from many different data sources such as various content types that are created in different formats and displayed on a single interaction surface. The UWS surfaces the required application functionalities to perform the tasks by partial launch of the associated application. Data elevation surfaces only the relevant amount of information, based on the context and activity, to assist the completion and decisionmaking process. Private and shared workspaces can be employed with object passing therebetween. The UWS provides a visual representation of each element such as information or relationship and allows direct user interaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2006Publication date: March 13, 2008Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jeanine E.
