Publication number: 20220400165Abstract: A disclosed method of serving web page requests includes detecting a client request for a web page that contains an object. A preloader application is invoked to execute while the object is downloading to the client. The preloader application displays a preloader message during at least part of the downloading interval. At least a part of the preloader message is an advertisement or is otherwise unrelated to a progress of the downloading of the object. A size of the object may exceed a specified threshold and/or a type of the object may match any of a set of predetermined object types. The set of predetermined object types may include a Java® object type, a Flash® object type, or another object type suitable for implementing motion graphics. In some embodiments, the preloader application resides on a third party web site.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2022Publication date: December 15, 2022Inventor: Denis Brent Walton

Patent number: 10473008Abstract: A system and method for activating on a user interface an indicator of a condition of a lubricant in a machine module. The system may comprise a controller and a user interface. The controller may be configured to, for each of a first time window and a second time window: receive a plurality of lubricant characteristics and measured lubricant temperatures, calculate an adjusted lubricant characteristic, and determine a slope based on the plurality of adjusted lubricant characteristics. The controller may further determine a change in slope, and generate a signal to activate the indicator on the user interface based on the change in slope, wherein, if the change in slope exceeds a threshold, the indicator is a lubricant changed indicator.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2017Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Yanchai Zhang, Venkata Dandibhotla, Kyle Brent Walton, John J. Krone

Publication number: 20080046579Abstract: A system and method for authenticating electronic communications between a sender and a recipient via an email authentication server is described. The system includes a processor, a network interface in communication with the processor, the network interface capable of receiving an email from a sender and forwarding the email to a recipient and a memory unit in communication with the processor and having processor executable instructions. The processor executable instructions configure the processor to receive instructions to register a sender upon request from an unregistered sender, determine if the sender is approved by the recipient, and provide a current digital signature of the recipient to the sender if the sender is approved by the recipient.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2006Publication date: February 21, 2008Inventor: Denis Brent Walton

Publication number: 20060214055Abstract: A storage bin system for holding luggage or the like has an upper shroud portion secured to a supporting structure and a cooperating lower bucket defining a storage space for items. The lower bucket pivots downwardly to open and has a curved front face with curved inner and outer surfaces. A latch handle is centrally mounted in the front surface and operatively connected to a latch operating mechanism secured to the inner surface. A flat bottom plate is removably mounted on the curved inners surface, covering the latch operating mechanism to from a flat surface to support items inserted into the storage space. A number of the storage bin systems are mounted on opposite sides of a passenger cabin of a single aisle aircraft to provide a cleaner, open passenger cabin look.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2005Publication date: September 28, 2006Inventors: Keith Novak, Roberto Valdez, Brent Walton
