Patent number: 8914740Abstract: A user interface is provided for allowing a user to interact with a graphical display, so as to facilitate comparative viewing of components of the display. A bar graph or other quantitative display is provided, wherein each bar is divided into a plurality of segments. Responsive to user input, segments of a given kind, in different bars, are realigned with one another along a common baseline, so that their sizes can be more easily compared with one another. In at least one embodiment, the realignment is transitory, and the original graph is restored upon further user input and/or after some predetermined time period.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2012Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: Domo, Inc.Inventors: Derek Joos, Mark Schultz, Matt McMurry, Chris Willis

Patent number: 7433348Abstract: A multi-node time division multiplexing (TDM) system is disclosed. The improved method and apparatus utilizes an asynchronous synchronization packet (ASP) to synchronize the timing in all the nodes of the system. In some embodiments, the ASP also maps the time slots in a data frame to particular nodes. The ASP is sent at the start of each data frame to all the nodes in the system and each node synchronizes itself to the time of receipt of the ASP, thus establishing frame-based timing for all the nodes. Additionally, the ASP can contain a table that maps the data frame time slots to the nodes in the system.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2005Date of Patent: October 7, 2008Assignee: Cypress Semiconductor Corp.Inventors: David Bordui, Johnny Brown, David Wright, Robert B. Swan, III, Mark Schultz

Publication number: 20080089555Abstract: A method and a system accomplish inspection of a mark in a frame of a film print. The system can include a frame imager which automatically selects at least one frame in the film print having an FMS mark and automatically captures an image of the frame. The image can be captured prior to, or subsequent to, the print being developed. The system also can include a marker which marks the frame with the mark. Further, the system can include a processor which automatically extracts the mark from the captured image and automatically compares the mark on the frame to a reference mark. The captured image can be stored to a database.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2005Publication date: April 17, 2008Inventors: Mark Schultz, Ryoichi Osawa, Robert Schmidt
