Publication number: 20220331160Abstract: An insertion tool, systems, and methods for use with lacrimal implants are herein provided. An insertion tool is disclosed that includes an inserter tip with a static pin at a distal end configured to be placed in a bore of a lacrimal implant and a mechanical coupling to receive a handle at a proximal end of the inserter tip; and, a handle coupled to the inserter tip at a distal end of the handle and a plunger at a proximal end of the handle, wherein the plunger is configured to release the inserter tip from the handle. The static pin of the inserter tip is de-coupled from the lacrimal implant after placement in a lacrimal canaliculus without mechanical force from the insertion tool.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2022Publication date: October 20, 2022Applicant: Mati Therapeutics Inc.Inventors: Deepank Utkhede, Jon Wallace, Robert Williams

Patent number: 10269047Abstract: Certain embodiments involve providing advertisements during navigation on an electronic device. For example, when the device is left idle for a period of time because the user of the device has not given a navigation command, the mobile device may present an advertisement. The advertisement may be displayed, for example, until the user returns and gives an additional navigation or other command, ending the idle period.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2008Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Jon Wallace, Dominic Butler, James Mulholland

Patent number: 9904941Abstract: Certain embodiments involve providing advertisements in response to navigation on an electronic device. On a mobile or other electronic device navigation may be controlled by moving a focus indicator amongst a group of displayed items. Certain embodiments provide an advertisement break between navigation items. When a user crosses the advertisement break by navigating the focus indicator from an item on one side of the advertisement break to an item on the other side, an advertisement is presented to the user.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2008Date of Patent: February 27, 2018Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Dominic Butler, James Mulholland, Jon Wallace

Patent number: 9791076Abstract: A swage visual indicator for a fluid coupling is disclosed and related methods. The swage visual indicator is achieved by a non-destructive visual indication of a swaging process by one or more swage apertures formed through a flange filled with an indicator material. The swage apertures communicate with swaging grooves of the fluid conveying components being joined. As the swaging process is conducted, the swaging grooves are filled with material from one of the fluid conveying components, and the indicator material within the aperture(s) is therefore displaced in a direction toward the exposed exterior surface of the flange. According to a successful swaging process, the indicator material is displaced to a degree such that the indicator material is visible by the unaided eye of an inspector.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2013Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: Eaton CorporationInventors: Jon Wallace Neal, Robert Charles Shown, Clifton P.

Patent number: 9470352Abstract: The composite tube comprises a tubular arrangement of knitted fiber having plurality of interlocking loops. The knitted pattern allows for variable electrical, mechanical and geometrical options. A matrix material is applied over the knitted fiber pattern and is allowed to cure. The matrix material may be applied by a vacuum bag molding process. The flexible knitted reinforcing layer allows use of an inflatable bladder to hold the reinforcing layer in the desired shape, thereby facilitating tube constructions of varying shapes and diameters. Continuous application of the matrix material avoids overlapping seams that are prone to delamination. Identification and labeling of the composite tube may be achieved with distinguishing knitted patterns having different types and colors of knitted fibers within the knitted reinforcing layer. A clear or translucent matrix material enables viewing of the underlying knitted patterns.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2013Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: Eaton CorporationInventors: Nicholas Clancy Schooley, David Ethan Maretich, Jon Wallace Neal, Richard L.

Publication number: 20140250465Abstract: Certain embodiments involve providing multiple versions of content to which a user can subscribe and an option within one version that allows a user of that version to upgrade or otherwise switch the subscription to another version of the content. For example, a “GO PREMIUM” command can allow a user to quickly and easily upgrade from within a basic version to a premium version. The premium version may have fewer or no advertisements and/or have additional or improved content. The option itself may identify the benefits. For example, in the case of a premium version that provides additional statistics not provided by a basic version, a button option within the basic version may have text identifying this benefit, e.g., “INTERESTED IN STATISTICS—GO PREMIUM.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2008Publication date: September 4, 2014Applicant: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: James Mulholland, Jon Wallace, Dominic Butler

Patent number: 8462177Abstract: Systems and methods for using design and/or constraint information in selecting, editing, creating, and managing content for multiple operating environments. For example, an image editor feature of a content management system can receive constraints and/or design requirements identifying specific image sizes that are needed for offering a piece of content on one or more operating environments. This information may be used to guide or restrict a user to select appropriate image portions. A selection marquee, sized based on the constraint information, may be positioned on a displayed image to select an image portion to use for that particular image requirement. The marquee size enforces the image constraint. Design and constraint information may also be used to inform selection, editing, and creation of other constraints and other types of assets, including, but not limited to, text and video assets.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2012Date of Patent: June 11, 2013Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Dominic Butler, Jon Wallace, James Mullholland

Patent number: 7544506Abstract: An integrated heat exchange system on a microfluidic card. According to one aspect of the invention, the portable microfluidic card has a heating, cooling and heat cycling system on-board such that the card can be used portably. The microfluidic card includes one or more reservoirs containing exothermic or endothermic material. Once the chemical process of the reservoir material is activated, the reservoir provides heat or cooling to specific locations of the microfluidic card. Multiple reservoirs may be included on a single card to provide varying temperatures. The assay chemicals can be moved to the various reservoirs to create a thermal cycle useful in many biological reactions, for example, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) or rtPCR.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2004Date of Patent: June 9, 2009Assignee: Micronics, Inc.Inventors: Wayne Breidford, Christy A Lancaster, Jon Wallace Hayenga, Ronald L Bardell, Jeffrey F Tonn, Bernhard H Weigl

Publication number: 20080004776Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for identifying a position of a head of a vehicle occupant from a plurality of images of a vehicle interior. Image data is translated from the plurality of images to produce a virtual side view image of the vehicle interior. A largest grouping of pixels in the side view image having values within a desired range is identified. The grouping includes a plurality of pixel columns. A contour comprising uppermost pixels of each pixel column is produced and peaks are located within the contour. The contour peaks are analyzed according to a heuristic voting algorithm to identify a peak location associated with the head of the vehicle occupant.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2007Publication date: January 3, 2008Inventors: Yun Luo, Jon Wallace
