Patent number: 11514237Abstract: A computer software program for improving electronic spreadsheets to manage and control scenarios. The program provides methods for the user to record specific changes made to selected value of cells in the spreadsheet. Each recorded item can be dragged and re-ordered via a graphical user interface (GUI) to build up a scenario script. The script can be executed whereby the spreadsheet is updated with the recorded items. The method allows complex scenarios to be played back in step by incremental step, modified, re-ordered, corrected, and re-played while generating user-defined output reports & charts detailing each step change. The method provides a detailed information trail of all value changes made to the spreadsheet suitable for an independent third-party review. Different scenario components can be recorded in parallel by multiple users and then merged to produce a complete solution.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2019Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: Decision Scenarios Pty LtdInventor: Marc William Rautenbach

Patent number: 11434136Abstract: Diamond bodies and methods of manufacture are disclosed. Diamond bodies are formed from at least a bimodal, alternatively a tri-modal or higher modal, feedstock having at least one fraction of modified diamond particles with a fine particle size (0.5-3.0 ?m) and at least one fraction of diamond particles with coarse particle size (15.0 to 30 ?m). During high pressure-high temperature processing, fine particle sized, modified diamond particles in the first fraction preferentially fracture to smaller sizes while preserving the morphology of coarse particle sized diamond particles in the second fraction. Diamond bodies incorporating the two fractions have a microstructure including second fraction diamond particles dispersed in a continuous matrix of first fraction modified diamond particles and exhibit improved wear characteristics, particularly for wear associated with drilling of geological formations.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2020Date of Patent: September 6, 2022Assignees: DIAMOND INNOVATIONS, INC., BAKER HUGHES, A GE COMPANY, LLCInventors: Alexanne Johnson, Andrew Dean Gledhill, Danny Eugene Scott, Marc William Bird

Publication number: 20220261883Abstract: Managing an online auction includes maintaining an automatically-decreasing, downward-going purchase price at which prospective buyers of a lot offered for sale can submit an immediate offer, and, concurrent with this, maintaining an upward-going contingent purchase price at which an offer to purchase the lot is to be automatically triggered, contingent on the downward-going purchase price decreasing to the upward-going contingent purchase price. Contingent bid(s) are received and work to increase the upward-going contingent purchase price. Server processing can then be performed based on submission of an immediately-effective offer to purchase the lot at the downward-going purchase price or automatic triggering of an offer to purchase the lot at the upward-going contingent purchase price. Related graphical user interfaces/online auction web interfaces, and presentation thereof, are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2021Publication date: August 18, 2022Inventor: Marc William Miller

Patent number: 11138277Abstract: An adaptive link is generated for delivering a device platform-specific and personalized digital pass. When the adaptive link is activated by an end user, a network request is sent from an end-user device to a digital pass management system. The network request may include header information that identifies the device platform of the end-user device. The digital pass management system extracts query string parameters included in the adaptive link. Based on the parameters, a personalized data set in a specific data format such as JSON is generated. A template that is compatible to the device platform is selected. A digital pass that is compatible with the device platform is generated and delivered based on the requirements of the end-user device. In some cases, the adaptive link may include location information such as latitude and longitude coordinates. The digital pass generated may also be location specific.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2018Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Assignee: Airship Group, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Ackerman, Marc William Carlson, Stefan Schulz
