Publication number: 20230343050Abstract: In one embodiment, an AR/VR system includes a social-networking application installed on the AR/VR system, which allows a user to access on online social network, including communicating with the user's social connections and interacting with content objects on the online social network. The AR/VR system also includes an AR/VR application, which allows the user to interact with an AR/VR platform by providing user input to the AR/VR application via various modalities. Based on the user input, the AR/VR platform generates responses and sends the generated responses to the AR/VR application, which then presents the responses to the user at the AR/VR system via various modalities.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2023Publication date: October 26, 2023Inventors: Hyo Jin Kim, Tony Ng, Vincent Lee, Florian Eddy Robert Ilg, Sammy El Ghazzal, Zijian Wang, Zhong Wang, Po-Kang Huang

Publication number: 20170317935Abstract: Disclosed are a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and a computer-implemented method for event messaging over a network. A subscription interface receives data indicative of a subscription request for sessionized data. An allocation module allocates a sessionizer bank linked to the subscription request. A messaging interface module provisions identifiers linked to the respective processing engines of the sessionizer bank. The messaging interface module registers the allocated sessionizer bank as available to process event messages matching the subscription request by providing the provisioned identifiers. The messaging interface module receives event messages from a producer device linked by a collection server to a selected one of the processing engines of the sessionizer bank. The selected one of the processing engine processes the received event messages in accordance with session rule data linked to the subscription request to generate sessionized data.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2015Publication date: November 2, 2017Applicant: eBay Inc.,Inventors: Sharad R. Murthy, Bhaven Avalani, Hongyue Nemo Chen, Chun Tung Tony Ng, Weiwei Jin, Xinglang Wang, Mingming Wang, Wei Fang

Patent number: 8221371Abstract: A process for overwrapping a catamenial device such as a tampon includes the steps of providing a substantially cylindrical overwrapper material, inserting a catamenial device into the overwrap material, and closing the open end of the overwrapper material. The overwrapper material has an open end, a closed end, and a first length. The catamenial device has a tapered insertion end, a longitudinal axis, and a length less than the first length, such that the open end of the overwrapper material extends beyond the insertion end of the inserted catamenial device. Concave clamping jaws are applied to the open end of the overwrapper material to urge it toward the longitudinal axis of the catamenial device; to conform portions of the overwrapper material to the insertion end of the catamenial device; and to fold overwrapper material between adjacent clamping jaws to form fins extending outwardly from the conformed portions.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2007Date of Patent: July 17, 2012Assignee: McNeil-PPC, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Junio, David L. Kimball, Ralf Mueller, Tony Ng

Publication number: 20070049893Abstract: An intravaginal device has a fluid storage element and at least one fluid transport element in fluid communication with the fluid storage element. The at least one fluid transport element has a first plate and a second plate coupled to the first plate. The second plate is capable of separating from the first plate sufficiently to provide inter-plate capillary action. The at least one fluid transport element is bendable about an axis substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the fluid storage element. The invention also includes methods and apparatus useful in the production of an intravaginal device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2006Publication date: March 1, 2007Inventors: Curt Binner, Samuel Carasso, David Chase, Erin Marsee, Tara Glasgow, David Kimball, Julia Kozorovitsky, Tony Ng

Publication number: 20060052762Abstract: An absorbent body enclosed between a liquid-permeable liner sheet layer and a liquid-impermeable backsheet layer is disclosed. The article has a longitudinal axis, a relatively wide anterior end and an opposite posterior end connected by side margins to define a generally triangular shape. The side margins substantially continuously converge to the posterior end, and at least one tab extends from each side margin. There is at least one attachment element aligned oblique to the longitudinal axis of the article that is associated with each tab. A method and apparatus are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 19, 2005Publication date: March 9, 2006Inventors: Tony NG, Steven White

Publication number: 20050080392Abstract: An absorbent article comprising an absorbent body enclosed between a liquid-permeable liner sheet layer and a liquid-impermeable backsheet layer is disclosed. The article has a longitudinal axis, a relatively wide anterior end and an opposite posterior end connected by side margins to define a generally triangular shape. The side margins substantially continuously converge to the posterior end, and at least one tab extends from each side margin. There is at least one attachment element aligned oblique to the longitudinal axis of the article that is associated with each tab. A method of placing an attachment element onto an absorbent article at an angle that is oblique to a machine direction is also disclosed, along with a product formed by the method. A first attachment element is separated from a first supply of attachment material that is aligned in a machine direction and is rotated from the machine direction to a predetermined angle that is oblique to the machine direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2004Publication date: April 14, 2005Inventors: Tony Ng, Steven White

Patent number: 6589150Abstract: The present invention is directed to a sanitary napkin having flaps folded onto the main body of the napkin and temporarily held in this position by a finger means. At least one end of the napkin is then folded onto the flaps thereby retaining the flaps in their folded position. The finger means is then disengaged from contact with the napkin.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2000Date of Patent: July 8, 2003Assignee: McNeil-PPC, Inc.Inventor: Tony Ng

Patent number: 6039460Abstract: An improved mounting arrangement is provided for supporting a tubular lamp, particularly such as a lamp used in fluid treatment processes, within a protective jacket such as a transparent sleeve of quartz glass or the like. The protective jacket is mounted by a compression nut to a threaded socket adapted for slide-fit reception of the lamp through the socket and into the protective jacket. The lamp comprises an elongated tubular glass lamp body having distal and proximal ends thereof supported by distal and proximal end caps each including spacers for centering the lamp body in spaced relation to the protective jacket. The proximal end cap comprises a lamp base with conductive terminal pins for connection to an electrical power source, and further includes outwardly projecting lock tabs for engagement, preferably with a quarter-turn rotation, with the compression nut to releasibly lock the lamp in position.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 1998Date of Patent: March 21, 2000Assignee: Aquafine CorporationInventors: Tony Ng, Mike Murphy
