Patent number: 11960264Abstract: A load control system may control an electrical load in a space of a building based on one or more parameters regarding the physical condition of an occupant. The parameters may be gathered by one or more sensing devices. The sensing devices may be included in a mobile device. A system controller may receive the parameters and may automatically control the electrical loads in response to the parameters. The system controller may control the electrical load to attempt to adjust the physical condition of the occupant in response to the sensed parameters. The system controller may control the electrical load to provide an alert, an alarm, and/or a warning in response to the sensed parameters.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Lutron Technology Company LLCInventors: Rhodes B.

Patent number: 9633392Abstract: An integrated finding experience is a workflow configured to facilitate a search by a user for one or more items among many items (e.g., an inventory of items). An integrated finding experience machine may provide one or more user interfaces that support the workflow in presenting information differently as the user progresses through a search process (e.g., a finding experience) with respect to a database (e.g., storing information regarding one or more items). For example, the workflow may include various stages of a search process from defining a query, to refining the query, to visually scanning search results, to displaying details of one or more selected search results, to comparing selected search results to each other. Each stage may have a specialized user interface configured to facilitate one or more user activities pertinent to that stage.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2012Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: Belmer Perella Garcia Negrillo, Jonas Klink, Andrew David Palmer, Brent Curtis Leffew

Patent number: 9590927Abstract: A system and method for improved client and server communications, more particularly, an improved protocol that may be used for communication between a client and a server, such as in an email environment. Many features are provided for improved communications. An email server may provide the best message body available for an email message, may transfer an entire data object if requested property or properties are not well defined within the data object, may provide progress data for use in tracking download progress, and may send error information for a data object having an error. Email changes may be optimized at an email server component, even if the email changes occurred at another email server component. An email server may maintain a table of changes that occur to folders at an associated data store, and may notify a subscribed email client component of changes that occur in the table.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2013Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Joseph R. Warren, Karl Froelich, Remi A. Lemarchand, Robert R. Novitskey, Ronald E. Gray, Aaron Hartwell, Brendan Power, Brent Curtis, Nicole A. Bonilla
