Patent number: 9915548Abstract: An approach is provided for presenting a contextual menu in a map display. A contextual menu platform determines an input for a delineation of at least one route, at least one geographical area, or a combination thereof in at least one map user interface of at least one device. The contextual menu platform determines contextual information associated with the at least one route, the at least one geographical area, the at least one map user interface, the at least one device, at least one user associated with the at least one device, or a combination thereof. The contextual menu platform also determines one or more contextual menu options based, at least in part, on the contextual information. The contextual menu platform further causes, at least in part, a presentation of at least one contextual menu to present the one or more contextual menu options in the at least one map user interface.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2016Date of Patent: March 13, 2018Assignee: HERE Global B.V.Inventors: Peter Skillman, Kevin Coffey, Nicola Plaisant

Patent number: 9117821Abstract: Interconnects for semiconductors formed of materials that exhibit crystallographic anisotropy of the resistivity size effect such that line resistivity in one crystallographic orientation becomes lower than the resistivity in the other directions and methods of fabrication and use thereof are described. A wire having a dimension that results in an increase in the electrical resistivity of the wire can be formed of a material with a conductive anisotropy due to crystallographic orientation relative to the direction of current flow that minimizes the increase in the electrical resistivity as compared to the other orientations at that dimension.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2014Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: Carnegie Mellon UniversityInventors: Katayun Barmak Vaziri, Kevin Coffey, Dooho Choi

Patent number: 8333854Abstract: A process for the preparation of composite thermite particles, and thermite particles and consolidated objects formed from a plurality of pressed composite particles. The process includes providing one or more metal oxides and one or more complementary metals capable of reducing the metal oxide, and milling the metal oxide and the metal at a temperature below ?50° C., such as cryomilling, to form a convoluted lamellar structure. The average layer thickness is generally between 10 nm and 1 ?m. The molar proportions of the metal oxide and metal are generally within 30% of being stoichiometric for a thermite reaction.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2008Date of Patent: December 18, 2012Assignees: University of Central Florida Research Foundation, Inc., Lockheed Martin CorporationInventors: Kevin Coffey, Edward Dein, Dickson Hugus, Edward Sheridan

Publication number: 20060028765Abstract: A magnetic head for thermally-assisted writing of data to a disk is disclosed. In one illustrative example, the magnetic head includes a write head element and a heating element which is a resistive infared radiator. The heating element is coupled to at least one via pad which is exposed on an outer surface of the magnetic head. This via pad may be the same pad utilized for the write head element or for a read sensor. The heating element is formed beneath or within the pole tip such that it is able to transfer heat to a portion of the disk before the write head element can write data to it Advantageously, the heater facilitates the writing of data to high coercivity media.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2005Publication date: February 9, 2006Inventors: Kevin Coffey, Jeffrey Lille, Andrew Tam

Patent number: 5949334Abstract: A magnetostrictive element for use in a magnetomechanical marker has a resonant frequency characteristic that is at a minimum at a bias field level corresponding to the operating point of the magnetomechanical marker. The magnetostrictive element has a magnetomechanical coupling factor k in the range 0.28 to 0.4 at the operating point. The magnetostrictive element is formed by applying current-annealing to an iron-nickel-cobalt based amorphous metal ribbon, or by cross-field annealing an iron-nickel-cobalt alloy that includes a few percent chromium and/or niobium.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 1997Date of Patent: September 7, 1999Assignee: Sensormatic Electronics CorporationInventors: Ming-Ren Lian, Nen-Chin Liu, Kevin Coffey, Richard Copeland, Wing Ho, Robert C.
