Patent number: 10127343Abstract: This application discloses a computing system implementing tools and mechanisms to synchronize multiple layouts for a circuit design during the layout process. The tools and mechanisms can implement multiple communicating kernels, each to manage at least one of the layouts. In response to an alteration of one of the layouts, the kernels can communicate with each other, so that the kernel corresponding to the unaltered layout can automatically augment corresponding layouts for the circuit design to synchronize with the altered layout. At least one of the layouts can include a 3-dimensional layout representation of the circuit design, the tools and mechanisms can perform 3-dimensional design rule checking based on mechanical constraints and 3-dimensional solid component models in response to alterations to a 2-dimensional layout representation of the circuit design.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2014Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: Mentor Graphics CorporationInventors: Gerald Suiter, Edwin Smith, Henry Potts

Publication number: 20180317366Abstract: The invention is a device for removing weeds and the like from the ground. The device is a simply attachment for a drill. It has a body with a shaft protruding from the center and at least two prongs protruding from the opposite side of the body at distances equidistant from the center. The free end of the shaft is placed into the chuck of an electric drill and the prongs are forced into the ground so that they are placed around a weed. The user operates the drill, thus spinning the prongs around the weed. The prongs entangle the weed's roots and bore a small hole in the ground, allowing the user to easily remove the weed. The prongs are then placed into the ground close to the hole, and the drill is slowly operated, thus refilling the hole. The invention has a plurality of edges and corners that allow the operator to shear weeds and the like that become entangled on the device, thus easily removing them.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2018Publication date: November 8, 2018Inventor: Carl Edwin Smith, JR.

Publication number: 20180112406Abstract: An exemplary prefabricated offset shingle includes a headlap portion extending from a top edge to a nail zone, a tab portion extending from the nail zone to a bottom edge, the headlap portion and the tab portion extending between first and second side edges. Two transverse cuts extend from the bottom edge to the headlap portion, and frangible lines of weakness in line with the transverse cuts extend from the transverse cuts to the top edge. The cuts and lines of weakness separate the shingle into first, second, and third offset portions having first, second, and third widths.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2017Publication date: April 26, 2018Inventors: Lawrence Jerome Grubka, Christina Marie Wise, William Edwin Smith, Bert W.

Patent number: 7681178Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for providing an application include representing a plurality of hierarchical rules as a plurality of objects in a prototype pointer chain, and providing a function to search the rules for a desired style by traversing the prototype pointer chain. An exemplary method provides a user interface or application with one or more visual objects. The visual appearances of the visual objects is affected by style information retrieved by traversing a prototype pointer chain to search for style-related rules. A compiled file can include code that describes rules as objects and creates class inheritance relationships between those objects and code that describes a style-finding function. A displaying program instantiates the objects arranged in a prototype pointer chain and uses its own inheritance logic to traverse the chain according to the style-finding function.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2005Date of Patent: March 16, 2010Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: David George, Edwin Smith

Publication number: 20080034342Abstract: A server computer maintains a master database for a PCB design, and a copy of the PCB design is provided to multiple client computers. The server assigns each client a different pair of pins for which a connection must be routed. When a client completes an assigned routing task, it requests that the server update the PCB master design with the route found by the client for its assigned pin pair. After forwarding the request, the client does not update its copy of the PCB design to reflect the found route. Instead, the client returns its copy to the state occupied prior to assignment of the pin pair by the server. Upon receiving notification that the server incorporated the found route, the client updates its copy of the design to include that route.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2007Publication date: February 7, 2008Applicant: MENTOR GRAPHICS CORPORATIONInventors: Vladimir Petunin, Charles Pfeil, Alexander Starkov, Venkat Natarajan, Edwin Smith

Publication number: 20060168883Abstract: A planter system having a self-draining tray for supporting a flower pot or planter in an area that receives regular watering, the tray having flat, horizontal surfaces formed by ribs supporting the flower pot or planter and another surface below the ribs directing excess water to a drain. The drain allows excess water to be removed from the tray regardless of how much water is received by the flower pot or planter. The drain may be connected to a hose or other tubing to conduct water away from the planter system. The self-draining tray may be incorporated integrally with a flower pot as a combined planter system. Drain tubing and/or drain/supply tubing may be fabricated having a particular profile.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2006Publication date: August 3, 2006Inventors: Harry Brutsche, Edwin Smith, Matthew Brutsche
