Patent number: 11422775Abstract: In a computer-implemented method for using an application platform to design an application, an interface for developing an application is displayed at a computer system, the interface including a plurality of components for use in visually designing the application. A selection of a component is received at the interface. A placement of the component in the application is received within the interface. The application is compiled such that the application executes natively on a target processor, and where the application is bound directly to a native graphics library associated with the target processor. A style selection for the component of the application is received, the style selection modifying an appearance of the component. The application including the style selection is executed within the interface during design time such that the component is rendered according to the style selection without re-compiling the application.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2017Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: Embarcadero Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Evgeny Kryukov, Michael L. Swindell, John Ray Thomas

Patent number: 10904182Abstract: A method and network for transmitting a message from a sender to a recipient wherein the sender has no previous knowledge of the recipient's identity. A method is provided for registering a user with a web-enabled database service by providing correlating data on the user's identity and vehicle license plate number and/or other vehicle identifying information. A sender observing a vehicle can send a message to the recipient by logging onto the service and sending a message including the license plate number of the vehicle or other vehicle identifying information. The service will forward the message to the recipient by looking up the vehicle information, discerning the most appropriate communications method(s), and causing the message to be transmitted to the recipient or stored for later delivery.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2019Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: Events.com, Inc.Inventors: David Bain, John Ray Paseur

Patent number: 10882589Abstract: The invention relates to floating platform mooring and involves an improved platform mounted tendon tension monitoring system with porch mounted variable reluctance measurement technology sensors configured. The variable reluctance measurement technology sensors of this system are optimized for porch mounting. The porch mounted tendon tension monitoring system can also be configured such that the porch-mounted optimized variable reluctance measurement technology sensors are replaceable. Sensors may be replaced to extend the desired useful lifetime of a tendon tension monitoring system or in the event that a sensor happens to malfunction. A plurality of variable reluctance measurement technology sensors can be configured in sensor packs at the corners or at other locations where tendon tension monitoring can be useful for a floating platform.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2018Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: OIL STATES INDUSTRIES, INC.Inventors: Daniel Joseph Tye, John Ray Baileys, Joseph Michael O'Neil, Michael Eugene Hogan
