Publication number: 20240074010Abstract: Devices disclosed herein reduce splattering of food/beverage material on interior cooking appliance surfaces. A splatter-reducing device of the present technology may comprise: (1) a magnetic member magnetically coupled to an interior ceiling surface of a cooking appliance, the magnetic member comprising a magnet and a first coupling component affixed to a bottom surface of the magnet; (2) a support frame comprising a second coupling component removably coupled to the first coupling component such that the support frame is suspended within the cooking appliance; and (3) a splatter-reducing shroud supported by the support frame and shaped to enclose a central region for placing food or liquid heated within the cooking appliance. The splatter-reducing shroud (e.g., a disposable or washable material such as absorbent paper) may absorb or deflect ejected food or beverage material before the material can splatter on an interior surface of the cooking appliance.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Martin KEEN, Ian LAITY

Patent number: 11093594Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for cognitive user identification recommendation. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for cognitive user identification recommendation includes monitoring typing patterns of an end user as the end user enters data in different fields of different applications of a computing device having a device type and categorizing each of the fields and applications according to field type and application type. The method further includes generating a data structure mapping the user typing patterns to each type of field and application to model user input behavior of the end user. The method also includes transmitting the data structure to a requesting application for prompting the end user to provide a particular type of password mapped to the modeled user input and consistent with a field type of the password and a type of requesting application.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2018Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Hernan Cunico, Paul Alexander Frank, Martin Keen, Richard D.

Patent number: 10977288Abstract: Embodiments for managing content by one or more processors are described. Usage of a plurality of first content portion translations by at least one user is monitored. The plurality of first content portion translations is stored on at least one database. Each of the plurality of first content portion translations is analyzed. A value of maintaining a selected one of the plurality of first content portion translations or a second content portion translation on the at least one database is calculated based on the monitoring of the usage of the plurality of first content portion translations and the analyzing of each of the plurality of first content portions translations.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2019Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Martin Keen, Todd Kelsey, Robert Richter, Michael Iantosca

Patent number: 10169658Abstract: A system for dynamically creating and presenting video content information to a user of a computer having an associated screen involves: i) loading contents of a video file into a video player; ii) displaying frames of the video file; iii) receiving a user's input indicating selection of an object displayed in at least one frame; iv) performing an object identification analysis of frames to locate each instance where a specific frame contains the object; v) for each specific frame that contains the object, performing a z-axis analysis of the object to determine prominence of the object within each specific frame; vi) storing metadata indicating results of the object identification analysis and, for frames where the object was present, the z-axis analysis; and vii) automatically generating and displaying a graphical timeline display graphically reflecting frames containing the object and object prominence within those frames based upon the metadata.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2017Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: James Bostick, John Ganci, Jr., Martin Keen, Sarbajit Rakshit

Publication number: 20180199719Abstract: A seat that can move between an upright position and one or more active positions is provided. The seat can have a base with a non-planar portion to wobble the seat into one or more wobble orientations, thereby permitting controlled pitching of the seat relative to a floor surface. The base can have one or more roll reduction pads to restrict roll in or about a roll axis perpendicular to a pitch axis about which the seat pitches. The seat can also have a post coupled to the base and a seat pan to provide a seating surface. The base can be weighted and can have a non-planar portion to wobble the seat into one or more wobble orientations. The roll reduction pads can extend radially outwardly from the apex of the non-planar portion. One or more pads can generally conform to contours of the non-planar portion of the base.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2017Publication date: July 19, 2018Inventor: Martin Keen

Publication number: 20170354258Abstract: A seat cushion comprises a relief portion to selectively provide cushioning to a user's sitz bones received when the user is seated on a seating surface. The selective cushioning provided by the relief portion to the user's sitz bones can be greater than cushioning provided by the remainder of the seat cushion to portions of the user's body other than the sitz bones. The relief portion can be in the form of a pair of relief pockets offset to be depressed below the second surface. A resiliency of the relief pockets is different from a resiliency of areas of the second surface surrounding the relief pocket. The first surface and the second surface of the seat cushion can be contoured so as to form a central core, a relief portion substantially surrounding the central core, and an outer portion defined so as to surround the relief portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 9, 2017Publication date: December 14, 2017Inventor: Martin Keen

Patent number: 9801472Abstract: An upright active-sitting seat provides a connection of a seating leg to a base through an articulating joint that allows the user to move a seat front to back and side to side, allowing a more active sitting that encourages blood circulation. The chair includes a seat supported by a post that is connected to a mount via a ball joint rod by a transverse rod that is routed through the ball joint rod end. By way of a coil spring that engages with the mount and the post, the post is spring biased to a home position relative to the mount. When using the chair, a person may move the seat from the home position to a comfortable seating position. When the person stands from the chair after using it, the chair returns to its spring biased home position.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2016Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: Safco Products Co.Inventors: Martin Keen, Ryan M. Coyle, Diau P. Hall, Justin W. Sirotin
