Publication number: 20220269852Abstract: Computer systems, methods, and devices for structured dynamic electronic forms are provided. The system includes a user device comprising a client form management application and a server comprising a server form management application. The client form management application generates and sends a request for a dynamic electronic form to the server. The server form management application stores the dynamic electronic form comprising separately stored form template data and form data; and merges and sends the form template data and the form data to the user device for rendering. The client form management application sends a request for a form filler package (“FFP”) comprising rules for filling out and rendering the dynamic electronic form. The server form management application sends the FFP to the user device and the client form management application renders the dynamic electronic form using the merged form template data and form data and the FFP.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2022Publication date: August 25, 2022Inventors: Mimi Samonte, Chris O'Connor, Kirsten Lewis, Daniel Karas, Ben Hare

Patent number: 10764424Abstract: A digital assistant supported on devices such as smartphones, tablets, personal computers, game consoles, etc. exposes an updated and enhanced set of alarm functions to improve a device's user wake-up routines by applying automation rules to a variety of collected or sensed data and inputs in a context-aware manner in order to surface user experiences and content that are contextually meaningful and catered to the particular device user. The digital assistant can support an alarm system having network connectivity to other devices and external systems that enables the user to set an alarm and be awoken using a wide variety of stimuli such as sounds, voice, music, lights, and tactile sensations and then be given a summary of the upcoming day using verbal narration and graphical displays on the device.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2014Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Melissa Lim, Anthony Hugh, Wenyu Lu, Yuri Dogandjiev, Haronid Moncivais, Chris O'Connor, Christian Colando

Patent number: 10667056Abstract: A low power, digital audio interface includes support for variable length coding depending on content of the audio data sent from the interface. A particularized coding system is implemented that uses techniques of silence detection, dynamic scaling, and periodic encoding to reduce sent data to a minimum. Other techniques include variable packet scaling based on an audio sample rate. Differential signaling techniques are also used. The digital audio interface may be used in a headphone interface to drive digital headphones. A detector in the interface may detect whether digital or analog headphones are coupled to a headphone jack and drive the headphone jack accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2017Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: AVNERA CORPORATIONInventors: Chris O'Connor, Xudong Zhao

Patent number: 8104841Abstract: An attachment assembly for securing a child safety seat to a mounting portion of a vehicle is provided. The attachment assembly may include a guide having a channel, and a metal strap positioned in the channel of the guide in a retracted configuration such that a free end of the metal strap is adjacent to a front face of the guide, a fixed end of the metal strap is secured to a side of the channel, and a body of the strap is bent along a radius so as to double back between the free end and the fixed end. When pulled in tension, the metal strap is configured to transition from the retracted configuration to an extended configuration, and the guide is configured to constrain the strap during this transition so that the strap rolls along the radius within the guide, thereby absorbing energy.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2006Date of Patent: January 31, 2012Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Reddy Malapati, Chris O'Connor, Rodney Simon, Pardeep Kumar
