Patent number: 11959703Abstract: A modular industrial energy transfer system includes a shell and at least one energy transfer unit coupled to the shell. The shell includes a plurality of sidewalls, a ceiling member coupled thereto, and a plurality of mounting structures disposed along the shell. The plurality of sidewalls and the ceiling member cooperate to define an interior volume to accommodate a work product. The at least one energy transfer unit is coupled to the shell via at least one of the plurality of mounting structures and is partially disposed through the shell to generate an airflow pattern through the interior volume of the shell.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2023Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: WESTRAN THERMAL PROCESSING LLCInventor: Zach Robinson

Patent number: 10579205Abstract: Presented herein are techniques for invoking user interfaces in graphical computing environments involving “hooking” gestures applicable to an edge of a display. These gestures involve positioning a pointer near an edge of the display depicting the environment, and then moving the cursor to a second location that is distanced from but near the first location (e.g., moving the pointer into a corner of the display, and then toward the center of the display, or to a midpoint of an adjacent edge of the display), resulting in the presentation of the user interface under the pointer at the second location. Variations include presenting a preview of the user interface (e.g., a subset of a user interface menu) at the second location while the pointer is in the first location, and refraining from presenting the user interface upon failing to complete the gesture or receiving extraneous input before completing the gesture.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2017Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Jennifer Nan, Jesse Clay Satterfield, Zach Robinson, Robert Jarrett, Patrice L.
