Patent number: 10657688Abstract: Resource visualization, evaluation, and selection is often a difficult, complex, technically challenging endeavor. This is particularly true when there the resource set is extensive, the resources have widely varying attributes and capabilities, and the resources are also widely disbursed geographically. A multi-dimensional resource evaluation and visualization system implements technical solutions to these technical challenges.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2019Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: ACCENTURE GLOBAL SOLUTIONS LIMITEDInventors: Mary Elizabeth Hamilton, Taurean Dyer

Publication number: 20200125050Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for initiating actions based on sequences of events. In one aspect, a process includes receiving, from each of multiple devices, data specifying an event detected by the device. The events are compared to configured scenarios that each specify a sequence of trigger events and an action to be initiated in response to detecting the sequence of trigger events. A determination is made that the events match a first scenario of the scenarios. In response to determining that the events detected by the multiple devices match the first scenario, a first action specified by the first scenario is initiated. A determination is made that a combination of one or more of the events detected by the multiple devices and the first action matches a second scenario. In response, a second action specified by the second scenario is initiated.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2019Publication date: April 23, 2020Inventors: Matthew Thomas Short, Mary Elizabeth Hamilton, Grace T.

Patent number: 10515659Abstract: An apparatus includes a first waveguide core extending along a light-propagation direction and configured to receive light from a light source at a combined transverse electric (TE) mode and a transverse magnetic (TM) mode. A second waveguide core is spaced apart from the first waveguide core and is configured to couple light at a TM mode to the second waveguide core. A near-field transducer (NFT) is disposed at a media-facing surface of a write head, the NFT receiving the light from the first waveguide core or the second waveguide core and heating a magnetic recording medium in response thereto.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2018Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: Seagate Technology LLCInventors: Christopher Neil Harvey, Aidan Dominic Goggin, Kelly Elizabeth Hamilton, Reyad Mehfuz

Patent number: 10431253Abstract: An input waveguide is disposed on a substrate-parallel plane and configured to receive light from an input surface. A mode converter joins the input waveguide at a junction away from the input surface. The mode converter converts the light from a fundamental mode to a higher-order mode. An input coupler is proximate to and overlapping the input waveguide parallel to the substrate-parallel plane. The input coupler extending from the input surface to the mode converter and has an asymmetric taper that transitions from a wider crosstrack dimension near the input surface to a narrower crosstrack dimension away from the input surface.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2017Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: Seagate Technology, LLCInventors: John Bernard McGurk, Kelly Elizabeth Hamilton, Aidan Dominic Goggin, Mark Anthony Gubbins

Patent number: 10216734Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for constructing a complementary calendar and/or a shadow calendar. A user may maintain a primary calendar within which the user may schedule user specified tasks and/or meetings, but may inadvertently omit other entries. Accordingly, a complementary calendar may be constructed based upon inferences derived from user signal data (e.g., information used to identify/infer activities of the user, such as social network profile information, messages, temporal information, locational information, documents, etc.). The complementary calendar may be automatically populated with entries corresponding to inferences derived from user signals and/or real-time conditions (e.g., weather, store hours, traffic conditions, etc.). The primary calendar and the complementary calendar may be merged to create a shadow calendar.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2018Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Shira Weinberg, Haim Somech, Scott Vernon Fynn, Uri Barash, Colleen Elizabeth Hamilton, Robert J.
