Patent number: 10795721Abstract: In a transfer of tasks between devices in a network, a failing device determines that it will not complete a task. The failing device compares the requirements of the task with sets of device capabilities on a device list, where each set is associated with a device in the network. The failing device determines that the requirements of the task matches, a set of device capabilities associated with a given device, and in response, sends a request to transfer the given task to the given device. When a rejection of the request is received, the failing device compares the requirements of the task with remaining sets of device capabilities on the device list, determines that the requirements of the task matches a second set of device capabilities associated with a second given device, and in response, sends a second request to transfer the task to the second given device.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2018Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Andrew Dunnings, Simon Page, Joseph Payne, Andrew Hurt, Eunjin Lee

Patent number: 10390998Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatuses for assembling absorbent articles, and more particularly, methods and apparatuses for imparting a line of weakness into one or more layers of an advancing substrate. The advancing substrate may be a belt assembly including an outer layer, an inner layer, and one or more elastic strands disposed between the outer layer and the inner layer. The belt assembly may be rotated on a process member about a longitudinal axis of rotation. The process member may advance the belt assembly to a first laser source.

Publication number: 20130188061Abstract: A photographer's guidance system is formed of a computer-based processor made responsive to location, time of day, manual user inputs, among others to provide photo exposure suggestions based upon information stored as photo set-up descriptors. In response to user requests in combination with present conditions such as time, location weather, etc., a database request is executed against stored photo set-up data to produce a result set of photo set-up descriptors. These descriptors are used both manually and automatically to assist a photographer user in setting up a photo exposure in agreement with the prescribed parameters. These systems may be directly coupled with a DSLR type camera and may operate via user controls and interfaces thereof. In alternative versions, these system have independent control and user interfaces with outputs coupled to a DSLR control.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2012Publication date: July 25, 2013Inventors: Peter Ellenby, Thomas Ellenby, Joseph Page

Publication number: 20110057448Abstract: Wave energy, converters are arranged as a plurality of coupled float members arranged in a two dimensional array. Link couplings between any float member and its neighbors drive a mechanical system to convert the disorganized motion due to heaving and bobbing of the float member on the ocean's surface into linear reciprocating motion in orthogonal directions. Such linear reciprocating motion is converted to electricity in an induction system having a mover and a stator—either being an inductor, the other being a magnet. The array is preferably provided to cover large surface areas whereby energy from incident ocean waves is appreciably absorbed at the float member an converted to mechanical motion. The array may be held to the ocean floor by a mooring or anchor system immediately offshore or up to a few tens of kilometers from the shoreline. Electricity provided at the array may be conveyed to shore via a submarine power transmission cable where it may be distributed and consumed on the public grid.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2009Publication date: March 10, 2011Inventor: Joseph Page

Patent number: 7500941Abstract: A folding system is provided for folding at least one wing extending from a central chassis of each of a plurality of absorbent articles formed from a continuous moving web moving in a longitudinal direction. The folding system has a wing-folding conveyor and at least one elongated, folding plow, which has an entrance end, an exit end and an inner edge that define a twist axis. The folding plow has a contoured surface having a configuration defined by a twist angle that increases along the twist axis from zero degrees near the entrance end to 180 degrees near the exit end. The wing-folding conveyor moves the central chassis along the inner edge of the folding plow and the wing slides against the contoured surface from the entrance end to the exit end, such that the wing folds around the central chassis near the inner edge.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2006Date of Patent: March 10, 2009Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Richard George Coe, Claudio Antonio Matos, Kazuya Ogawa, Michael Joseph Page, Richard William Hamm

Patent number: 7351642Abstract: A process and method for compensating for a radial non-uniformity on a wafer that includes the steps of: centering a rotational thickness non-uniformity of a film on the wafer about the axis of the spin susceptor following a CMP process; positioning a nozzle in the spin processing unit to direct the etching solution along a radius of the wafer; adjusting the flow of the etching solution from the nozzle; adjusting the rotational speed of the spin susceptor to control the residence time of the etching solution; and coordinating the rotational speed of the spin susceptor, flow of etching solution and positioning of the nozzle to maximize the removal of material. The process may be utilized to compensate for the bowl-shaped non-uniformities of an STI oxide. These non-uniformities are compensated for and addressed after a CMP process.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2005Date of Patent: April 1, 2008Assignee: Infineon Technologies Richmond, LPInventors: Walter Hartner, Joseph Page, Jonathan Davis

Publication number: 20070135187Abstract: In exemplary embodiments, a hands-free adapter provides hands-free operation of a device. The adapter communicates with the device, and in some embodiments, with a headset. The hands-free adapter allows a user to use voice commands so that the user does not have to handle the device. The hands-free adapter receives voice commands from the headset and translates the voice commands to commands recognized by the device. The hands-free adapter also monitors the device to detect device events and provides notice of the events to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2006Publication date: June 14, 2007Inventors: Barrett Kreiner, Joseph Page
