  • Publication number: 20240146557
    Abstract: An agenda dictating a sequence of actions to occur during a conference associated with a plurality of participants is accessed. The sequence of actions is associated with an electronic signature envelope. Content shared by a sharing participant of the conference is monitored for content corresponding to a given action of the sequence. Responsive to detecting the content corresponding to the given action, an acting participant for the given action is determined and data obtained from sensors of a client device of the acting participant is monitored. It is determined that the data indicates that the acting participant has performed the given action and an auditable data structure reflective of the data is generated. The content shared by the sharing participant of the conference is automatically modified to include content corresponding to a next action of the sequence of actions.

  • Publication number: 20240146879
    Abstract: An agenda dictating a sequence of actions to occur during a conference including plural participants is accessed. The sequence is associated with an electronic signature envelope. Content shared by a conference sharing participant is monitored for content corresponding to a given action of the sequence. Responsive to detecting the content corresponding to the given action, an acting participant is determined for the given action and edit permissions conferring an ability to edit the monitored content are granted to the acting participant. Acting participant's input into the content shared by the sharing participant is monitored for data entry corresponding to the given action. Responsive to detecting the data entry during the monitoring, the edit permissions from the acting participant are removed. The content shared by the sharing participant of the conference is automatically modified to include content corresponding to a next action of the sequence of actions.

  • Publication number: 20240146559
    Abstract: A centralized document system integrates online document execution and conferencing. Creation of a conference event is detected. The conference event associated with an electronic signature envelope and a plurality of participants. A plurality of actions to be taken with respect to the electronic signature envelope during a conference corresponding to the conference event are determined. For each of one or more actions of the plurality of actions, a corresponding participant is determined based on metadata of the plurality of participants. An agenda comprising a sequence of the plurality of actions is generated. Each action of the sequence has its assigned corresponding participant. Control permissions during the conference corresponding to the conference event are dynamically driver based on the agenda.

  • Patent number: 11692715
    Abstract: A cooking apparatus may include a cooking chamber at least partially defining an interior volume and a substantially open upper portion. The cooking chamber may include a side wall at least partially defining a lower portion of the cooking chamber. The cooking apparatus may also include a lid configured to substantially close the upper portion of the cooking chamber. The cooking apparatus may further include a heating module configured to be coupled to, and removed from, at least one of the side wall or the lower portion of the cooking chamber. The heating module may be configured to provide a source of heat for the cooking apparatus, and, in some examples, the heating module may be configured to generate heat using at least one of a flammable gas, charcoal, pellets, or wood.

  • Patent number: 10712663
    Abstract: Techniques herein include a bladder-based dispense system using an elongate bladder configured to selectively expand and contract to assist with dispense actions. This dispense system compensates for filter-lag, which often accompanies fluid filtering for microfabrication. This dispense system also provides a high-purity and high precision dispense unit. A modular hydraulic unit houses the elongate bladder and hydraulic fluid in contact with an exterior surface of the bladder. When pressurized process fluid is in the elongate bladder, hydraulic controls can selectively reduce pressure on the bladder to cause expansion, and then selectively increase hydraulic pressure to assist with a dispense action.

  • Patent number: 10403501
    Abstract: Techniques herein include a bladder-based dispense system using an elongate bladder configured to selectively expand and contract to assist with dispense actions. This dispense system compensates for filter-lag, which often accompanies fluid filtering for microfabrication. This dispense system also provides a high-purity and high precision dispense unit. A process fluid filter is located downstream from a process fluid source as well as a system valve. Downstream from the process fluid filter there are no valves. Dispense actions can be initiated and stop while the system valve is open by using the elongate bladder. The elongate bladder can be expanded to stop or pause a dispense action, and then be contracted to assist with a dispense action.

  • Patent number: 10354872
    Abstract: Techniques herein include a bladder-based dispense system using an elongate bladder configured to selectively expand and contract to assist with dispense actions. This dispense system compensates for filter-lag, which often accompanies fluid filtering for microfabrication. This dispense system also provides a high-purity and high precision dispense unit. A meniscus sensor monitors a position of a meniscus of process fluid at a nozzle. The elongate bladder unit is used to maintain a position of the meniscus at a particular location by selectively expanding or contracting the bladder, thereby moving or holding a meniscus position. Expansion of the elongate bladder is also used for a suck-back action after completing a dispense action.

  • Patent number: 5566856
    Abstract: This invention includes a method and apparatus for vending frozen foods and also for vending hot previously frozen foods. The invention includes the use of a microwave oven, and a delivery system that maintains the food in an upright orientation so as to prevent spilling of hot foods. An important feature is that the invention does not destroy the microwave containment integrity of the microwave oven and therefore is safer from a radiation perspective.

  • Patent number: 3985920
    Abstract: The adhesive properties of vinyl resins are substantially improved by adding thereto or mixing therewith polyfunctional carboxylic aziridinyl esters, either in the pure form or dissolved in inert organic liquid media. The aziridinyl ester may be added to vinyl resin which are in solution, to vinyl resins which are in the form of organosols or plastisols, or to vinyl resins which are in the form of solids (powders). The process of this invention has found particular utility in the coating of vinyl resin upon non-porous surfaces.
