Patent number: 11963069Abstract: A rugged, ergonomic integrated telecommunications handset includes an electronic controller that interoperates and controls the universal remote control (URC), which connects to multiple radios simultaneously. The controller downloads options which are implemented by the controller. The handset has an ability to vibrate in a silent mode, and has a memory capacity, as well as GPS capacity. Ergonomically, the handset has a pair of side arrays of protruding ribs, which enhance gripping, preventing the handset from falling out of the user's hands, even if the user has gloves on in inclement weather conditions in the field. While compatible with the latest radio system software defined dual net and dual channel radio equipment, the handset is also backward compatible with single radios or with two or more separate radios, and may communicate using Bluetooth.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Global Market Development Inc.Inventors: Anthony W.

Patent number: 11803696Abstract: An online document system maintains a document comprising document content. Users can edit document of the online document system by in the form of operations (which represent desired changes to document content). Instead of directly applying the received operations to the document content, the online document system consolidates operations into a tracked change object based on a common intent of the operations. To render the document content (with tracked change object) the online document system applies the set of operations to the document content and generates a tracked change indication to highlight content changed by the set of operations.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2022Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: DocuSign, Inc.Inventors: Stanislav Gurenkov, Andrew Weaver, Kocheng Hsiang, Tingsen Xie, Sean Smith, Deep Badesha, Meyer Denney

Publication number: 20230168234Abstract: A characteristic of edible oil may be evaluated using a spectrometer. For example, optical reflectance data may be obtained from edible oil in situ in a frying apparatus housing the edible oil, the reflectance data corresponding to a specified range of infra-red wavelengths. A model profile corresponding to the characteristic being assessed may be obtained, such as from a repository housing a secured library of such profiles. The model profile may define a regression vector for use in transforming the reflectance data to generate a value corresponding to the characteristic being assessed. A criterion may be applied to the value to establish a simplified representation of the characteristic for presentation to a user for assessment of oil quality.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2023Publication date: June 1, 2023Inventors: Jinping DONG, Steven HANSEN, Jacob SCHALLER, Sean SMITH
