Publication number: 20240086624Abstract: A digital display of an active window is provided. An application, separate from the application providing the digital display, is capable of identifying an artifact in the active window of the digital display without a priori knowledge or an application programming interface to the application providing the digital display. The artifacts may be alpha-numeric artifacts or non-alpha-numeric artifacts. The active window may be examined in multiple dimensions including 2 dimensions, 3 dimensions or more. Alpha-numeric artifacts, once identified, are pre-processed to remove anti-aliasing to allow for processor optical recognition.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Charles N. Corfield, Stephen L. Bulick, E. Peter Fox, Adam M. Ornstein, Derek C. Smith

Patent number: 10041215Abstract: A milling machine has a frame, a rotor, a mixing chamber with a front door and a rear door, and a controller. The controller is in communication with the frame, the rotor, the front door, and the rear door, and configured to operate the milling machine in a travel mode and a work mode. When the travel mode is actuated, the controller raises the rotor to a predetermined position, closes the front door and the rear door, and raises the frame to a predetermined height. When the work mode is actuated, the controller lowers the frame to a predetermined height, lowers the rotor to a predetermined position, and opens the front door and the rear door to predetermined positions.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2017Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: Caterpillar Paving Products Inc.Inventors: Jason William Muir, Brian Joe Schlenker, Matthew-David S.

Publication number: 20160259630Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and apparatus for enabling sharing and/or collaboration on visual model-based applications. Visual model-based applications can be represented using an internal representation, which can be edited and read in a visual modeling environment, or using a visual representation, which visually depict the model-based application in a visually intuitive way. A model share server can receive internal representations of visual model-based applications and convert them into visual representations for display on a hosted webpage, or for display on an external webpage or document. The model share server can also generate visual representations in such a way that preserves key words or text for indexing by a search engine crawler, which facilitates searching of visual model-based applications.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2016Publication date: September 8, 2016Inventors: Derek Peter ROOS, Derckjan KRUIT, Roald KRUIT, Johannis DEN HAAN, Andrej KOELEWIJN, Marinus Cornelis WESTSTRATE, Erik Bastiaan Robbert VAN DE POL, Meinte BOERSMA, Arjan Ferdinand BLOK

Publication number: 20080220267Abstract: A glyceride compound comprising a first aliphatic group and a first substituent group bonded to said first aliphatic group. The first substituent group has the formula —O(CH2CH2O)nP where n is 1 to 14 and P is a polymerisable group. An aqueous emulsion of the glyceride can be used in an emulsion polymerisation reaction to yield a polymer resin, which can then be mixed with a suitable base material, such as wood strands, to produce a composite material, such as Oriented Strand Board.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2006Publication date: September 11, 2008Applicants: KEELE UNIVERSITY, ADVANCE ENTERPRISES LTDInventors: James Alan Stephen Howell, Con Robert McElroy, Robert Heathcote, Derek Peter Taylor
