Patent number: 9146778Abstract: Background tasks are managed through background task settings that allow or prevent the execution of agents associated with mobile device applications in the background of a mobile computing device. Background task management can extend the battery life of a mobile device and can be done by a user, the mobile device or a combination thereof. Agents scheduled for execution by a mobile device are executed according to the background task settings associated with the application. Background task settings can be controlled via background task control panels. Background task settings can be set on a system-wide, application or background task basis. Disabled background tasks can be enabled when the application is next launched. A user can be invited to navigate to the background task control panels when various events occur such as the battery life dropping below a threshold or the current power consumption exceeding a threshold.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2014Date of Patent: September 29, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Rachel Jiang, Rhon Manlapaz, Megan Donahue, Dawn Wilson, Darin Miller, Michael Saffitz, Kenneth Lynn Crocker, Kevin Shields

Patent number: 6562015Abstract: A disposable absorbent garment includes a backsheet, a liner sheet and an absorbent core disposed therebetween. The backsheet and liner sheets are shaped to form a pair of spaced-apart leg openings with a front waist area, a rear waist and a central crotch area. A pair of ribbons are disposed in opposing curved contours along at least the front and rear areas of the garment and optionally extend through the crotch area of the garment to form a generally oval-shaped exudate containment region about the crotch area of the garment. Each ribbon is fastened to the garment along one longitudinal ribbon edge to form free ribbon edges which rise from the garment to provide a raised barrier.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 1998Date of Patent: May 13, 2003Assignee: Paragon Trade Brands, Inc.Inventor: Lorraine Dawn Wilson

Patent number: 5766411Abstract: An apparatus for producing a garment with a raised barrier formed of ribbon material. The apparatus includes a conveyor for carrying garment material in a direction along a flow path. A ribbon storage provides elongate ribbon for application to the garment material to form the barrier. A ribbon feeder having a first feeder head moves across the flow path to apply the ribbon to the material on the conveyor in a curved contour. An adhesive applicator applies adhesive along one edge of the ribbon such that the resulting free edge of the ribbon may form a raised barrier on the finished garment.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 1995Date of Patent: June 16, 1998Assignee: Paragon Trade Brands.
