Patent number: 10928970Abstract: The various embodiments described herein include methods, systems and/or devices used to visualize data. In one aspect, a method is performed by a computing system having one or more processors and memory. The method includes (1) receiving a request from a user to visualize data, the data stored in a graph dataflow processing system, and (2) in response to the request, invoking an interactive graphical user interface (GUI) for display to the user, the GUI including a first set of visualization data corresponding to a first subset of the data.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2015Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Yucheng Low, Tim Muss, Zach Nation, Eric Wolfe, Brian Kent, Chris DuBois, Alice Zheng, Ping Wang, Srikrishna Sridhar, Carlos Guestrin

Patent number: 8018632Abstract: An apparatus and method for scanning documents such as ID cards and bank checks that includes hinged cover and base assemblies. The base includes motor driven drive rollers for conveying a document along a paper path defined between the cover and base. The cover includes a plurality of pinch rollers forming part of a floating deck that is carried by cover structure and which is spring biased towards the base assembly. Two side-by-side scanning regions are provided, one of which is configured to scan flexible documents, the other of which is configured to scan rigid media such ID cards. Sensors detect the position of the document. A solenoid driven, replaceable ink stamp imprints a document to indicate that it has been scanned. A weight biased diverter is deflected by rigid documents to enable exit through a slot. An entrance guide includes an offset guide wall to improve feeding.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2007Date of Patent: September 13, 2011Assignee: Pertech Resources, Inc.Inventors: Jon L. Walker, Eric Wolfe, Jeffery C. Cooper, Stephen R. Watkins, Kevin Kershisnik, Rocky L. Harting

Patent number: 7824119Abstract: A printer that can be configured either as a dot matrix/impact printer or an inkjet printer. A printer frame mounts a carriage mechanism for reciprocally moving a head carrier. An adapter secures a printhead to the carrier; the adapter being configured to accept a predetermined type of printhead. A compensator/feeder assembly is pivotally movable between a printing position and a printer open position at which a slot for receiving a form is defined. The compensator/feeder assembly mounts a printer bar which is positioned in a confronting relationship with the printhead when the assembly is in the printing position. A compensator drive arrangement is fixed to a base and effects movement in the feeder assembly.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2005Date of Patent: November 2, 2010Assignee: Pertech Resources, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Kershisnik, Donna Norton, Eric Wolfe, David Selvig, Jon Walker, Douglas Etsinger, Jeff Cooper

Patent number: 6730873Abstract: A consumable, oxy-carbon arc cutting electrode to be used in an oxygen exothermic torch for cutting both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The cutting electrode includes a hollow, outer copper clad steel tube. A plurality of copper clad carbon fuel rods run through and are surrounded by the outer tube. The plurality of fuel rods are aligned in side-by-side engagement with one another and positioned circumferentially around the interior of the outer tube so that a passageway extends longitudinally through the outer tube in coaxial alignment with the circumferential arrangement of fuel rods. Pure oxygen gas is blown from the torch down the passageway through the center of the outer tube and along the fuel rods. By virtue of the foregoing, the oxy-carbon arc cutting electrode of this invention is capable of sustaining a higher combustion temperature, having a longer life, and generating lower levels of noise relative to conventional exothermic and air-carbon-arc cutting rods.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2002Date of Patent: May 4, 2004Inventor: Eric Wolfe
