Patent number: 11518242Abstract: In a touch screen environment, a computer calculates an effective position and updated effective positions of simultaneous or sequential touch events by calculating average coordinates of the touch events using force measurements. The average coordinates correspond to computerized maps of the user interface and z coordinates correspond to an average force at the x and y locations. The effective positions are used to determine if the user's touches move across multiple virtual input areas having priority and non-priority relationships. By expanding a virtual input area of the map for those areas having a priority label relative to a different non-priority virtual input area, the computer effectuates appropriate functions depending on where the most recent effective position lies.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2021Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: Joyson Safety Systems Acquisition LLCInventors: Kenneth Myers, Nicholas Borgerding, Jason Lisseman, David Andrews

Patent number: 9333580Abstract: A welding system and method is disclosed for girth welding high strength materials using a short arc welding process and a self-shielding electrode. The welding system contains a welding apparatus which advances the self-shielding electrode towards a workpiece to be welded and controls the arc length and the operation of the apparatus so that the weld satisfies the requirements for welding at least American Petroleum Institute Grade X-80 line pipe. The system additionally contains a power source with a controller for creating a current pulse introducing energy into the electrode to melt the end of the self-shielding electrode and a low current quiescent metal transfer section following the end of the melting pulse during which the melted electrode short circuits against the workpiece.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2006Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: LINCOLN GLOBAL, INC.Inventors: Badri Narayanan, Patrick T. Soltis, Russell Kenneth Myers, Eric Stewart

The top side includes a chamfered neck support surface and a flat top surface. The chamfered neck support surface further includes a pair of humps providing additional side-to-side support for the head. The rear side includes two flat rear surfaces and a rounded forehead support surface. The bottom side includes a beveled support surface and a flat connector surface and a slight chamfer surface for comfort against the neck.

Publication number: 20070219486Abstract: A portable, hands-free and user friendly breast pump for facilitating breast-feeding, incorporates a dome-shaped housing having a servomotor mechanism; a hat-shaped flange having a chamber portion, a brim portion and an outlet, the chamber portion being formed so as to be placed over a nipple on a breast so as to define a chamber between the flange and the breast, and the brim portion being formed to surround the nipple and thereby form a suction seal therebetween; and a one-way venting element formed to operatively communicate with the chamber so as to vent pumped milk from the chamber via the outlet. The housing, the flange and the venting element are connected into an integral device held against the breast and underneath clothing so as to keep the integral device hidden. Breast milk is collected via a plastic collection bag that connects directly with the pump underneath clothing such that the milk is isolated from any contaminants in the air and may be easily stored immediately after being collected.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2007Publication date: September 20, 2007Inventors: Kenneth Myers, Ellen Lundy, Drew Meincke, Sharon Birdseye

Publication number: 20050240876Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for generating XSL transformation documents. A software wizard presents a series of screens to lead the user through the authoring process. The screens include a load screen, a select screen, a new entity screen, a conditional screen, and a view screen. The load screen prompts the user for an input document name. The wizard then retrieves XML entities from the input document and presents them to the user in tree form on the select screen. The user selects entities from the tree for inclusion in the output document. The new entity screen allows the user to create new entities for inclusion in the output document. These entities are accumulated in an output list. The conditional screen allows the user to make entities from the output list conditional. The view screen allows review of a tentative transformation document that will accomplish the user's purpose.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2005Publication date: October 27, 2005Applicant: QCORPS Residential, Inc.Inventors: Kenneth Myers, Maulik Modi
