Patent number: 11507567Abstract: There are described building management systems and methods for managing tag bundles of a data model. The system comprises a memory component, a user interface, and a processor. The memory component stores a tag bundle that includes one or more tag fields. The user interface identifies one or more records, in which each record includes at least one tag and each record corresponds to a point of the building management system. Each tag defines a structural or functional relationship between points of the building management system. The processor updates the tag or tags of the record(s) based on the tag field or fields of the tag bundle.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2020Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: J2 Innovations, Inc.Inventor: Jason Briggs

Patent number: 11465140Abstract: An object such as a cell colony may be picked from a plurality of objects by acquiring an image of the objects and an image of a pipette tip. The image of the objects is analyzed to select an object of interest. The selected object is associated with a coordinate position. Based on the coordinate position, the pipette tip is positioned over the selected object. An image of the pipette tip is then acquired and analyzed. The pipette tip is associated with a coordinate position. A positional error between the coordinate position of the selected object and the coordinate position of the pipette tip is determined. Based on the positional error, the pipette tip and/or a sample holder supporting the objects is moved to align the pipette tip over the selected object, by matching the coordinate position of the pipette tip with the coordinate position of the selected object.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2018Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: Molecular Devices, LLCInventors: Jason Briggs, Paula Gedraitis, Trisha A Mitlo

Patent number: 9767189Abstract: System and methods are provided for performing a method, for instance, at a computer system having one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors. In the method a search query is received. The search query identifies a message category from among a plurality of message categories. Each respective message category in the plurality of message categories corresponds to an electronic message display format in a plurality of electronic message display formats. Responsive to the search query, a search result comprising one or more electronic messages satisfying the search query is identified. The one or more electronic messages are prepared for display by formatting for display a first electronic message, in the one or more electronic messages, associated with the first message category. The formatting makes use of the electronic message display format that corresponds to the first message category.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2014Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Itamar Gilad, Thompson Alexander Ivor Gawley, Andrew Ward Moedinger, Kevin Smilak, Jeroen Daniël Jillissen, Jason Briggs Cornwell, Balint Miklos

Patent number: 9654432Abstract: Systems and methods for clustering electronic messages are disclosed. In some implementations, a method includes, at a computing device, responsive to a determination that a message body of a first electronic message satisfies a set of content-based clustering rules associated with a first message cluster, assigning the electronic message to the message cluster. A cluster graphic is displayed for the message cluster. The cluster graphic is characterized by (a) a first state in which messages in the message cluster are individually depicted and (b) a second state, which replaces the first state upon user input and collectively represents a plurality of messages in the message cluster. Each message in the message cluster is either (i) addressed at least to a first recipient or (ii) originates from the first recipient.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2015Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Jason Briggs Cornwell, Keith Coleman, Jeroen Daniël Jillissen, Thompson Alexander-Ivor Gawley, Rob Young, Garrick Toubassi

Patent number: 9542668Abstract: System and methods are provided for receiving selection, by a user, of a subset of message clusters in a plurality of message clusters. Each message cluster is associated with a corresponding set of clustering rules. Each respective electronic message, addressed to and/or from the user, in a plurality of electronic messages is assigned to one or more of the clusters in the subset of clusters in accordance with the sets of clustering rules associated with the subset of clusters. The set of clustering rules for a first cluster in the subset of clusters (i) prevents some messages in the plurality of messages from being assigned to the first cluster and (ii) assigns messages to the first cluster without regard to content relatedness between messages in the plurality of messages and messages already in the first cluster. Messages in the first cluster are formatted for display as a single cluster graphic.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2014Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Itamar Gilad, Thompson Alexander Ivor Gawley, Andrew Ward Moedinger, Deepak Jindal, Kevin Smilak, Jeroen Daniël Jillissen, Balint Miklos, Jason Briggs Cornwell
