Publication number: 20170241264Abstract: A mining machine including a frame, a cutting head moveably coupled to the frame and pivotable about an axis that is substantially perpendicular to a first mine surface, and a first actuator for stabilizing the frame relative to the first mine surface. The first actuator is coupled to the frame and includes a first end extendable in a first direction to engage the first mine surface. The extension of the first actuator is automatically controlled based on measurements of at least one indicator of the force between the first actuator and the first mine surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2017Publication date: August 24, 2017Inventors: Colin Anthony Wade, Jacobus Ignatius Jonker

Publication number: 20170165424Abstract: A trigger operated syringe (100) for intramammary injection of antibiotics has a fluid containing syringe cartridge (203) activated by a plunger (206) which is inserted into the syringe cartridge (203A) and expels fluid when the trigger (205) is pulled. A syringe cartridge holding mechanism (223) holds the syringe cartridge in place until the trigger (205) is released and the plunger (206) retracted. Single syringe cartridge (203) and multiple syringe cartridge (204) versions are disclosed. The plunger moves in a direction which is effectively perpendicular to the direction of movement of the trigger, allowing for ease of injection to a cow's teats, and ejection of the spent cartridges.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2017Publication date: June 15, 2017Applicant: MERIAL INC.Inventors: Robert William Lachlan Holmes, Rodney Gordon Walker, Todd Donald Ebbett, Colin Anthony Standing, Peter Robert Williams, Giovanni Ciampa, Michael Rossignuolo, Robert John Smith

Patent number: 8572277Abstract: A method and means for self-policing and automatically rate-limiting multiple-user online forums. The preferred embodiment of the invention includes a set of rules that permit users to censure other users. A censured user has one or more “privileges” (which may include access to the online computer system or the effective message rate of a communications connection) taken away or diminished; the privilege is gradually restored if the censured user behaves. The censuring participant and other pertinent participants are notified of the effect of the censuring on the censured user. In another aspect of the invention, the online computer system automatically tracks the rate at which a user sends certain types of messages, and can message rate limit a user who uses too many system resources by sending a large number of messages in rapid succession.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2009Date of Patent: October 29, 2013Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Harry W. Morris, Eric Bosco, David Lowell Lippke, Colin Anthony Steele

Patent number: 8332752Abstract: Techniques to dynamically modify themes based on messaging. An apparatus may comprise a processor and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor. The memory may store a theme manager component and a user interface component. The theme manager component, when executed by the processor, may be operative to receive a message from a message author and select a theme based on message content of the message. The user interface component, when executed by the processor, may be operative to dynamically display a user interface view with the selected theme. In this manner, a theme associated with a user may be dynamically and automatically modified based on personalized information about a user. Other embodiments are described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2010Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Seung-Hae Park, Colin Anthony, Jose Miranda-Steiner

Patent number: 8140703Abstract: Regulating a user of a computer-based service includes receiving input about a first user from at least one other user of the computer-based service, determining a degree to which the at least one other user can influence a parameter associated with the first user, and modifying the first user's parameter based on the received input and the determined degree of influence. The first user's parameter, for example, can relate to the first user's ability to use the computer-based service.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2001Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: AOL, Inc.Inventors: Harry W.

Patent number: 8037104Abstract: A system and method for filtering and organizing items in a computer system based on common elements is provided. A graphical user interface includes a plurality of display objects, each display object representing one or more items and a metadata property control corresponding to a metadata property. Selection of the metadata property control causes a list of filter terms to be presented on the display and also may cause a list of check box controls to be presented on the display, each check box control being adjacent to a respective one of the filter terms. The list of filter terms may be presented in a drop down menu. Selection of a check box control causes each item that satisfies the corresponding filter term to be presented on the display. The filters may be dynamically generated based on the properties of the separate items.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2009Date of Patent: October 11, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: David G.
