Patent number: 11966973Abstract: An electronic communication network comprises a server platform and client data processing devices. Each client data processing device is configured to submit electronic messages to the server platform, provided with a timestamp. The server platform is configured to process incoming electronic messages strictly in a sequence corresponding to the timestamp. The electronic communication network comprising at least one switch, wherein the switch is arranged to receive electronic messages from a plurality of the client data processing devices. the switch comprises a buffer and is configured to store the electronic messages produced by the client data processing devices in the buffer, and to transfer the electronic messages in a manner sorted according to the timestamp provided to each electronic message by the time generator of the client data processing device submitting the electronic message, so that the electronic message with the oldest time is transferred first.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2019Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: SWISSTRADINGBOX AGInventors: Anton Gunzinger, Edgar Blum, Hans Burkhard, Rico Piantoni, David Müller, Markus Berner, Samuel Zahnd

Patent number: 11907324Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for generating and modifying a workflow comprising a series of webpages based on an online document. A document management system accesses an online document selected by a user and classifies each field of the online document into one of a set of categories. For each category, the system generates a form webpage comprising questions corresponding to each field classified as the category and combines the generated webpages to create a workflow. The system may modify the workflow by generating and adding one or more additional form webpages based on one or more answers provided by an entity completing the webform page. In response to the entity completing the modified generated workflow, the system generates a completed document based on the online document and the answers provided by the entity.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2022Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: DocuSign, Inc.Inventors: Gustavo Both Bitdinger, Mangesh Prabhakar Bhandarkar, Nipun Dureja, Vasudevan Sampath, Robert Sherwin, Duane Robert Wald, Mark Spencer Seabourne, Claire Marie Small, David Minoru Hirotsu, Dia A.

Patent number: 11888915Abstract: A document management system integrates with a video conference system to ensure that proper electronic witness procedure is performed for document validation. The document management system accesses a video conference between a user and an electronic witness, and then instructs the user to electronically sign the document while the electronic witness observes. The document management system receives confirmation that the electronic witness observed the video of the user electronically signing the document. The document management system combines and stores portions of the video conference that correspond to the electronic witness's validation of the document.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2022Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: DocuSign, Inc.Inventors: Anthony Joseph Ramoutar, David Soh, Dorra Belhadj Ali, Billy Travis Williams, Ellis David Berner, Angel Azmavet Garcia Reyes

Publication number: 20230245254Abstract: A document management system integrates with a video conference system to generate agreement documents from conference transcripts between two or more people. The document management system trains and applies a machine learned model that is configured to identify agreement terms from a video conference transcript. The two or more people confirm or propose changes to the agreement terms presented by the document management system. The document management system presents a finalized agreement document, with users' identities, electronic signatures, and confirmed agreement terms.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2022Publication date: August 3, 2023Inventors: Anthony Joseph Ramoutar, Dorra Belhadj Ali, Angel Azmavet Garcia Reyes, Billy Travis Williams, David Soh, Ellis David Berner

Publication number: 20230246866Abstract: A centralized document system integrates online document execution and conferencing to control access to precipitant information. Precipitant information includes access codes, personal identification numbers, sensitive information, or any other secured information for which execution of an online document is a prerequisite for access to the secured information. The centralized document system detects precipitant information that is presented during a conference and controls access to the detected precipitant information (e.g., by generating permission rules that specify a type of online document to be executed to gain access). The centralized document system may determine whether a user has executed one or more online documents and thus, has authorization to access the detected precipitant information. Responsive to determining that the user has not executed the online documents, the centralized document system can control access to the precipitant information by modifying the conference (e.g.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2022Publication date: August 3, 2023Inventors: Anthony Joseph Ramoutar, Angel Azmavet Garcia Reyes, Ellis David Berner, Dorra Belhadj Ali, Billy Travis Williams, David Soh

Patent number: 10137470Abstract: A system for painting objects having a plurality of ring lines extending along a painting booth, each ring line conducting an operating medium required for operating an application device provided in the painting booth. The ring lines are divided into at least two regions. A connection device connects at least some of the ring lines to the application device and has a terminal module. The terminal module includes at least as many ring line sections as there are ring lines. The ring line sections have terminals at the ends to connect to the ring line regions. A branch line branches off from each of the ring line sections, the branch line leading to a terminal device. The terminal device has an inner flow path via which at least some of the branch lines can be connected to an outlet terminal. At least one tube or a line connects the outlet terminal to the application device.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2015Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: EISENMANN SEInventors: Benjamin Jegust, David Berner, Andreas Groll, Alexander Bosch

Patent number: 7177431Abstract: A system and method are described for rendering a left rear surround input signal at a left rear virtual speaker location and rendering a right rear surround input signal at a right rear virtual speaker location. The method includes phase shifting the left rear surround input signal by a first phase shift. The right rear surround input signal is phase shifted by a second phase shift. The phase shifted left rear surround input signal is phase shifted using an HRTF selected to render the left rear surround input signal at the left rear virtual speaker location. The phase shifted right rear surround input signal is transformed using an HRTF selected to render the right rear surround input signal at the right rear virtual speaker location.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2006Date of Patent: February 13, 2007Assignee: Creative Technology, Ltd.Inventors: Stephen A.

Patent number: 4949978Abstract: A magnifying device for use with certain games and for reading small print. More particularly, the device has non-parallel, spaced apart lower and upper surfaces such that when the device is placed on a flat surface, the upper surface is at an oblique angle to the viewer so that an underlying number or word is magnified and more clearly seen. The device may also serve as a bingo marker and magnifier for magnifying the given number over which the marker lays.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 1988Date of Patent: August 21, 1990Inventor: David Berner
