Patent number: 9599457Abstract: A non-destructive method of measuring tear lines formed in a surface of a resilient automotive trim panel configured for overlaying an inflatable safety device includes the steps of periodically selecting a trim panel for testing from a flow of in-process trim panels, mounting the selected trim panel to a mounting jig configured to support a region of the selected trim panel adjacent a tear line and to temporarily splay said selected trim panel to expose opposed edges forming at least a portion of the tear line, scanning a 3D image of the opposed edges, storing said 3D image as data in an associated processor, and removing the selected trim panel from the mounting jig.

Patent number: 8875098Abstract: A software-implemented workflow engine is described that executes a Web mashup within the context of a Web browser running on a computer. The workflow engine is configured to parse a Web mashup definition obtained from a remote server to identify distinct units of execution within the Web mashup, referred to as components. The workflow engine is further configured to obtain programming logic and metadata associated with each type of component identified in the Web mashup definition from the remote server and to use such information to generate executable versions of the identified components. Finally, the workflow engine is configured to run each of the executable components, thereby executing the Web mashup. The workflow engine is configured to manage the order of execution of each of the executable components so that the Web mashup runs in an optimized and reliable fashion.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2008Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Timothy S. Rice, Andrew R. Sterland, Patrick Chi Wai Wong, Adam D. Nathan

Patent number: 8543975Abstract: Traditional programming environments that support event-driven programming typically expose a model where the developer chooses an event to handle on a given object, and then writes the code for that event handler. In contrast, as described herein, the traditional flow of program development is reversed. A (configurable) event-handler (“behavior”) is selected. Upon selection of one of the behaviors, the event triggering the behavior is selected. This is a “what-then-when” approach rather than the traditional “when-then-what” approach for event-driven programming.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2008Date of Patent: September 24, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Adam D. Nathan, Chi Wai Wong

Patent number: 7941546Abstract: A system and method is described for communicating requests from a Web mashup being executed within the context of a Web browser to third-party Web services in a manner that does not violate the Same Origin Policy (SOP) observed by many Web browsers. In one embodiment, a workflow engine operating in the context of a Web browser executes a plurality of executable components comprising a Web mashup. The workflow engine transparently redirects Web service requests generated by the executing components to a proxy server that acts as an intermediate between the workflow engine and third-party Web services. The proxy server, which is not subject to SOP, transmits the Web service requests to the third-party Web service and obtains requested data therefrom. The proxy server further returns the requested data in a manner that is useable by the Web mashup components.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2008Date of Patent: May 10, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Timothy S. Rice, Andrew R. Sterland, Patrick Chi Wai Wong, Adam D. Nathan

Publication number: 20110050319Abstract: A multiplier is provided, for example, for use as a mixer in a modulator of a radio frequency transmitter. The multiplier multiplies a first alternating signal of constant amplitude by a second signal, for example, in the form of a carrier wave from a local oscillator. The multiplier comprises a transconductance stage for converting the first signal to a differential output current and a current switching stage for switching the differential output current in accordance with the second signal. The transconductance stage comprises a plurality of offset pairs of transistors, whose inputs and outputs are connected in parallel. The switching stage comprises cross-coupled pairs of transistors which, together with the transconductance stage, form a Gilbert cell. The relative gains of the transistors of each offset pair are such that a minimum in the third harmonic distortion characteristic of the multiplier occurs substantially at the amplitude of the first signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2008Publication date: March 3, 2011Applicant: Toumaz Technology LimitedInventor: Alan Chi Wai Wong

Publication number: 20100160039Abstract: A game creator provides a set of abstractions (objects) that make game creation simpler. The abstractions provided in the game creation component include Game, Scene, and Actor. A Game abstraction comprises global settings for the game and includes one or more Scenes. Each Scene abstraction within the game includes one or more Actors. By setting properties and behaviors on these three abstractions, Game creators with little or no skill in programming can create games. Filtering can be performed declaratively through selection of appropriate options.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2008Publication date: June 24, 2010Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Adam D. Nathan, Chi Wai Wong, Benjamin J. Anderson, Timothy S. Rice
