Patent number: 12120260Abstract: Described herein are technologies related to generating a predicted routine of a user of a mobile computing device. Location entries generated by the mobile computing device are processed to generate visit entries, wherein the visit entries are representative of visits made by the user to places over several days. An input sequence of states is constructed based upon the visit entries, wherein each state has a place identifier assigned thereto, and further wherein each state corresponds to a time interval of predefined length. A predicted routine of the user is generated based upon the input sequence of states.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2021Date of Patent: October 15, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Dragomir Dimitrov Yankov, Michael Robert Evans, Renzhong Wang, Senthil Kumar Palanisamy, Siddhartha Cingh Arora, Alex Jordan Yuter, Beibei Cheng, Wei Wu

Publication number: 20240172789Abstract: A breakable capsule such as a seamless breakable capsule useful in a smoking article or a smokeless tobacco product includes an outer shell formed of a cross-linked agar matrix including at least one filler, and an inner core surrounded by the outer shell which comprises a liquid or gel based composition of a flavorant and/or non-flavorant. The cross-linked agar matrix is reinforced with carboxymethyl cellulose that is dispersed throughout the agar matrix so as to fill empty spaces in the agar matrix and inhibit the composition from passing through the empty spaces of the agar matrix.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 5, 2024Publication date: May 30, 2024Applicant: Altria Client Services LLCInventors: Munmaya K.

Patent number: 8225948Abstract: A plant (1;20) for transferring cargo (23) to and from a ship (24), said plant comprising an elevated rail structure (2) and a crane unit (3) where the elevated rail structure (2) is arranged on one side of the ship (24) and comprises a longitudinal rail (6) which extends essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the ship and where the crane unit is arranged to transfer a load or a group of loads to and from said ship, is supported by said longitudinal rail and is displaceable along said longitudinal rail. The crane unit furthermore comprises a boom (10) and a trolley (21) where the boom of said crane unit extends essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal rail such that one end of the boom extends over the ship; and where the boom of said crane unit comprises a transverse rail (13) which extends in a direction which is essentially transverse to the longitudinal rail and essentially parallel to the centre line of the boom.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2007Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: APM Terminals Management B.V.Inventors: Angelo De Jong, Laurids Uglvig, Anders Kjeldsen, Michael Alex Jordan

Patent number: 4329574Abstract: A bar code label candidate is framed in a stream of scanner-generated data by a circuit which counts the width of each pulse and which accumulates a fixed number of pulse width values on a rolling basis to provide overlapping basic unit signals. Each basic unit signal represents a potential N-pulse character. Basic unit signals occurring at N intervals are compared in a comparator circuit to determine whether predetermined character-indicating relationships exist. Character-indicating signals are accumulated in registers. Outputs from these registers are decoded to determine whether a label candidate (appropriate type and number of apparent characters in appropriate time sequence) has been found.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 1980Date of Patent: May 11, 1982Assignee: International Business Machines Corp.Inventor: Alex Jordan, Jr.
