Publication number: 20230034481Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to a system that includes multiple fire sensors and equipment, and mobile devices of the users of the system. These fire sensors and equipment are configured in a network so as to allow communication with a processor. A processor in the system interrogates the status of the fire sensors and fire safety elements on a continuous basis. Upon a change in system status, the processor interprets the change and classifies according to operation state or probability of a fire or other imminent threat. The data, processing and storage provide the means by which occupants and potential occupants can better navigate a building during the occurrence of a fire.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2022Publication date: February 2, 2023Applicant: PFPR LimitedInventors: David Benton, Jacob Benton, Simon Benton, Lizzie Benton, Dean Lynn

Patent number: 8009309Abstract: A method of processing print jobs that improves the ability of users to identify their print lobs at the local user interface of an image formation device is provided. The method includes receiving image data for a print job at a computer and converting the image data to page description language code at the computer. The page description language code for the image data includes a job name string having an application name portion and a filename portion. The method further includes comparing the application name portion of the job name string to a list of application names in a database; removing the application name portion from the job name string where the application name portion is found in the database; and then sending the page description language code for the image data to an image formation device.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2005Date of Patent: August 30, 2011Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Tomas Byström, Thomas Chase, Dean Lynn, Satyan Vadher, Andy Jordan

Patent number: 7588192Abstract: The introduction of an integrated data glyph, watermark, and thumb print system enables copy protection via a multi-functional device. The device, working with a secure remote server, produces a unique data glyph for each document that the user wishes to protect. Different copy protection strengths are possible and the reproduction of the document is fully controllable.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2006Date of Patent: September 15, 2009Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Tomas Byström, Dean Lynn, Andy Jordan, Thomas Chase, Satyan Vadher

Publication number: 20070101257Abstract: An electronic file decomposition system is illustrated. A parser of the electronic file decomposition system decomposes an electronic file into different components based at least in part on metadata of the components. An interface of the electronic file decomposition system presents an interactive representation of the decomposed electronic file to a user. The user employs the interface to select components to retain and/or components to remove. A re-formater of the electronic file decomposition system generates a new electronic file based on the received electronic file and the user selections.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2005Publication date: May 3, 2007Inventors: Dean Lynn, Thomas Chase, Tomas Bystrom, Satyan Vadher

Publication number: 20070005645Abstract: A printing system for locally searching, selecting and printing one or more electronic documents on a local printer from a remote database includes a local printer having an input/output user interface that provides a search menu to a user, receives search parameters and a search request from the user, provides search results to the user, and receives a selection of one or more items from the search results. At least one remote network server having a database of electronic documents is linked to the local printer over a network. The local printer searches the database of electronic documents using the search parameters to generate the search results of one or more items. The selection is retrieved from the database and printed by the local printer.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2005Publication date: January 4, 2007Inventors: Thomas Chase, Tomas Bystrom, Dean Lynn

Publication number: 20060290962Abstract: What is disclosed is a printer/copier having a Universal Pointing Device Interface (UPDI) for accepting a variety of different pointing devices. The UPDI includes a connector for connecting to a pointing device and a controller having a cursor movement controller for receiving cursor moving signals from the pointing device and moving the cursor on the screen in accordance therewith. The UPDI also includes a Graphic User Interface (GUI) image selection controller for selecting GUI images pointed to by the cursor for actuation upon receiving selection signals from the pointing device. The printer/copier also includes cursor-selectable GUI images displayed on the screen for actuation by the cursor. The cursor-selectable GUI images correspond to the direct-touch buttons disposed on the machine for initiating similar printer/copier functions or inputting similar information via a pointing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2005Publication date: December 28, 2006Inventors: Dean Lynn, Thomas Chase, Andy Jordan, Tomas Bystrom, Satyan Vadher

Patent number: 7093253Abstract: A throttling specification is received by a computer task to direct the computer task's usage of critical computer resources, such as CPU cycles. The computer task comprises units of work, and the elapsed time of each unit of work is calculated as each unit of work completes. Upon the completion of one unit of work, a suspension time is calculated based at least partially on the throttling specification and the elapsed time corresponding to the completed unit of work. Prior to initiating the next unit of work for the computer task, the computer task is suspended for the calculated suspension time. In this manner, other important computing tasks operating in the computer system have access to critical computer resources during the suspension period. Even though the computer task may be given the highest possible priority to ensure a timely and predictable completion, total monopolization of critical computer resources is avoided.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2001Date of Patent: August 15, 2006Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Merle R.

Patent number: 6760713Abstract: A fuzzy data record pointer is utilized for identification of both a target file and a target data record within the target file. A target data record is accessed from a target file, selected from a set of N related files, utilizing a fuzzy data record pointer (“fuzzy”, as used herein, means that the data record pointer need not be coincident with the actual data record address). A modulus for the data record pointer divided by N is computed. This modulus is used to select the target file. A data record address is computed for the target data record utilizing the data record pointer and modulus. In this manner a fuzzy data record pointer is utilized to determine both the target file from a set of N related files and the target data record to be accessed within the target file.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2001Date of Patent: July 6, 2004Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Harley A.
