Patent number: 11209805Abstract: Technologies are described for utilizing machine learning (“ML”) to adjust operational characteristics of a computing system based upon detected HID activity. Labeled training data is collected with user consent that includes data describing HID activity and data that identifies user activity taking place on a computing device when the data HID activity took place. A ML model is trained using the labeled training data that can receive data describing current HID activity and identify user activity currently taking place on another computing device based upon the current HID activity. The ML model can then select features of the other computing device that are beneficial to the identified user activity. The ML model can then cause one or more operational characteristics of the other computing device to be adjusted based upon the identified user activity, thereby saving valuable computing resources. A UI can also be presented that describes the identified features.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2017Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLC.Inventors: Xiaoyu Chai, Choo Yei Chong, Ioana Laura Marginas, Eleanor Ann Robinson, Dale R.

Publication number: 20100138489Abstract: Video and audio signals are streamed to remote viewers that are connected to a communication network. A host server receives an originating video and audio signal that may arrive from a single source or from a plurality of independent sources. The host server provides any combination of the originating video and audio signals to viewers connected to a communication network. A viewer requests the host server provide a combination of video and audio signals from the host server. The host server transmits an instruction set to be executed by the viewer. The instruction set causes the viewer to transmit parameters to the host user, including parameters relating to the processing capabilities of the viewer. The host server then transmits multimedia data to the viewer according to the received parameters. A plurality of viewers may be simultaneously connected to the host server.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 9, 2010Publication date: June 3, 2010Applicant: VIVA VISION, INC.Inventors: Janine W. Corley, Jeffrey M. Davey, Bruce W. Johnson, Dale R. Johnson, Christopher D. Lund, Tien H. Nguyen, Keith O. Rice, Leonid B. Volfson

Patent number: 5484250Abstract: A coupling for a heavy-duty machine to be used between a boom and a stick having a working tool for quick coupling and decoupling of the stick to the boom for the exchange of tools and being operable from the cab or operator's station on the machine without requiring the need for one or more persons or machines at the coupling during the coupling and decoupling process. The coupling also includes a unique locking mechanism that can be remotely controlled to lock and unlock the coupling when they are in mating engagement. The coupling includes a male member attachable to the boom of the machine and a female member connected to the stick. The male member is pivotally mounted at one end on the boom and connected at the other end to a hydraulic cylinder on the boom for articulating the male member on the boom. The male member further includes a grabber at one end and a picker at the other end for interchangeable use to guide the joining of the coupler members.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 1994Date of Patent: January 16, 1996Assignee: Gilmore Transportation Services, Inc.Inventors: Charles P. Gilmore, Jr., Dale R. Johnson

Patent number: 4819329Abstract: A method of manufacturing a multiwire lead assembly for a flexible connector between thin film elements and other electronic circuitry during manufacturing thin film heads for computer disc drives includes the process of supporting the multiple wires in spaced locations on retainers, such as terminal boards, and fixing the wires to such terminal boards. The terminal boards are spaced apart a desired distance for making the lead assembly. The wires are separated from the source reel and then the two terminal boards are a supported assembly and the center portions of the multiple wires are twisted together while the end portions are held separated and oriented by the terminal boards. The twisted wire portion of the wires then can be insulated at desired locations, including for example the full length of the twisted portion. The ends of the wires are stipped of their normal insulating coating utilizing a laser stripper in a known manner.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 1987Date of Patent: April 11, 1989Assignee: Innovex Inc.Inventors: Thomas W.

Patent number: 4476954Abstract: A remote controller is disclosed for controlling the throttle, brake and steering mechanism of a conventional motor vehicle, with the remote controller being particularly advantageous for use by severely handicapped individuals. The controller includes a remote manipulator which controls a plurality of actuators through interfacing electronics. The remote manipulator is a two-axis joystick which controls a pair of linear actuators and a rotary actuator, with the actuators being powered by electric motors to effect throttle, brake and steering control of a motor vehicle adapted to include the controller. The controller enables the driver to control the adapted vehicle from anywhere in the vehicle with one hand with minimal control force and range of motion. In addition, even though a conventional vehicle is adapted for use with the remote controller, the vehicle may still be operated in the normal manner.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 1982Date of Patent: October 16, 1984Assignee: Johnson Engineering CorporationInventors: Dale R.
