Patent number: 8370825Abstract: An update website prioritizes updates available for an application (e.g., a word-processing program or a fault-tolerance program) running on a user computer system. Prioritization is in part a function of usage data gathered on the user computer system by a usage-tracking module of the application. The usage data is transferred to the update site and parameters relevant to prioritization are evaluated. The parameter values are then used for prioritization. The usage data can also be compiled with data from other users to guide further development of the application.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2003Date of Patent: February 5, 2013Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: James Russell Curtis, Bruce Neil Campbell

Patent number: 8103651Abstract: A document reader program determines the existence of an updated version of a document file at a network location specified by an original version of the document file. The document reader program then presents the user a choice of rendering the original version or the updated version in human-cognizable form. For example, a user can request help for a host application, which accesses an original version of a help file via the document reader. Instead of displaying information from the original help file, the reader access a network location specified in the original help file, downloads an updated help file and then displays its information to the user. The updated help file can correspond to the local version of the host application or, in another embodiment, the most-recent help file for the most-recent version of the host application.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2004Date of Patent: January 24, 2012Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Bruce Neil Campbell, Jonathan Paul Patrizio

Patent number: 7897228Abstract: Articles for applying color on a surface that includes a sheet of dry color component having a margin, a front sheet surface, and a rear sheet surface opposite the front sheet surface, and an adhesive on the rear sheet surface for bonding the sheet to the surface. Either the margin of the sheet or the entire sheet is adapted for reducing or eliminating the visual perceptibility of the seam created when the margin is positioned in an overlapping, abutting, or spaced apart relationship with a margin of a juxtaposed second article. The reduction or elimination of the visual perceptibility of the seam may be promoted by a physical mechanism, a chemical mechanism, an optical mechanism, or a combination of these mechanisms.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2007Date of Patent: March 1, 2011Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Mark John Steinhardt, Shawn Christopher Pallotta, Robert Lawrence Prosise, John William Toussant, Andrew Julian Wnuk, Von Adoniram Kinsey, Anneke Margaret Kaminski, Julie Ann Pawlikowski, Bruce Neil Hall, Roxanne Drago Westendorf

Patent number: 7128789Abstract: An absorbent, low-linting fibrous structure comprising an entangled web of synthetic fibers, wherein fibers of at least one of said top surface and said bottom surface are surface bonded, such as by thermal or adhesive bonding. The web is absorbent, has low density, is resistant to linting, and can retain structural integrity at high temperatures. The structure can be made by forming a web of synthetic fibers, entangling the fibers of the web, such as by needling or hydroentangling, and bonding the fibers at the surface of the web by thermal or adhesive bonding.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2003Date of Patent: October 31, 2006Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: William Robert Ouellette, Robert Allan Johnson, Bruce Neil Hall

Patent number: 6615516Abstract: A mailer for transmission from a sender to a recipient includes a front sheet having a perimeter and inner and outer opposed faces. The outer face of the front sheet is adapter to receive the address of the recipient. The front sheet is disposed in a first plane. The mailer includes a back sheet having a perimeter and inner and outer opposed faces. The back sheet is disposed in a second plane, which is spaced apart from and parallel to the first plane. A graphic display is disposed between the front sheet and the back sheet and adjacent to the inner face of the front sheet and adjacent to the inner face of the back sheet. The graphic display is disposed in a third plane parallel to the first and second planes. The graphic display includes projections extending within the third plane and outside the perimeter of the front sheet and outside the perimeter of the back sheet. The graphic display includes a plurality of irregularly shaped interlocking components.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2002Date of Patent: September 9, 2003Assignee: MediaGarden, Inc.Inventors: Mark Houston, Leslie D.
