Publication number: 20200183358Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to methods, mediums, and systems for associating information, including critical-to-quality (CTQ) information such as minimum or maximum part dimensions, with parts in a three-dimensional model of a product. The information may be identified by performing a failure mode effect analysis (FMEA) against the model. The information is stored with the model data (e.g., in the form of an annotation applied to a model feature corresponding to the part in question). The model data may be consulted by product lifecycle management (PLM) applications during various phases of the product's lifecycle. Among other possibilities, the information may be used to automatically generate regulatory compliance documentation, to ensure product quality standards are met during a manufacturing process, or to perform postproduction quality monitoring of the product.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2020Publication date: June 11, 2020Inventors: David Wolf, Michael Prudhomme, Swapan Jha, Jeff Milkey

Publication number: 20200175621Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, devices, and systems for facilitating data transactions, such as real estate transactions. Some embodiments disclose methods for determining a legal address recognized for a real property based on a received mailing address for the real property. The methods can include accessing, such as from a client device, a legal address record or database. The method can acquire further information regarding the data or real estate transaction while concurrently accessing the legal address record. In the case that an unambiguous match between the mailing address and the legal address record is not found, the method can interactively use the client device to determine the recognized legal address based on ownership data. Some embodiments disclose electronic devices that can implement such methods.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2019Publication date: June 4, 2020Inventors: David Wolf, Arthur C. Delight, IV

Publication number: 20190054523Abstract: A tastable, moldable, and/or extrudable structure using a metallic primary alloy. One or more additives are added to the metallic primary alloy so that in situ galvanically-active reinforcement particles are formed in the melt or on cooling from the melt. The composite contains an optimal composition and morphology to achieve a specific galvanic corrosion rate in the entire composite. The in situ formed galvanically-active particles can be used to enhance mechanical properties of the composite, such as ductility and/or tensile strength. The final casting can also be enhanced by heat treatment, as well as deformation processing such as extrusion, forging, or rolling, to further improve the strength of the final composite over the as-cast material.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2018Publication date: February 21, 2019Inventors: David Wolf, Brian Doud

Patent number: 10157398Abstract: The systems and methods of the disclosure allow user from various countries to take advantage of offers when they are traveling internationally. Once the purchase associated with the offer is made, the transaction information may be processed by the system, such that, the credit and debit associated with the purchase are transmitted to the transaction account and the merchant. The transaction information may be further processed to determine whether the particular transaction is eligible for a reward. Where the transaction is eligible for a reward, the credit and debit associated with reward are transmitted to the transaction account and the sponsoring entity. The reward may be provided in any suitable currency or in various currencies based on the parameters governing the reward offer.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2016Date of Patent: December 18, 2018Assignee: AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVEL RELATED SERVICES COMPANY, INC.Inventors: Sripriya Tiku, Peter Tully, David Wolf

Patent number: 9942179Abstract: Generally in a computing environment, executing work based on time (i.e. according to a predetermined schedule) is a common need. However, in cloud based systems, scheduled work may be expensive to customers as generally customers rent system resources. Thus, having a processor dedicated to performing actions that have been pre-scheduled can be expensive. This application describes using a continuation-based runtime for scheduling time-bound and/or periodic work in a distributed (i.e. cloud) system. A system architecture and computer-implemented method are described that deploy an environment-independent action to a remote-based system (such as a cloud computing system, for example). The action is limited to using a predetermined amount of resources and is limited to simple, non-cpu intensive orchestrations of network calls.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2016Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Kenneth David Wolf, Clark Roberts, Leon Ezequiel Welicki, Andrei Romanenko, Christopher Lloyd Gillum, Kevin Lam

The rewards may be applied at the time of purchase, in response to authorization information or at settlement as a transaction account credit.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2013Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVEL RELATED SERVICES COMPANY, INC.Inventors: Leslie Berland, Shari Forman, Luke Gebb, Priyadarshini Koul, Sathish Muthukrishnan, Jennifer Russo, Sripriya Tiku, David Wolf
