Patent number: 7805676Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention provide for enhanced calendaring functionality in a collaboration suite application. A mini-calendar display in different views of the collaboration suite application provide for an easy way to view, edit and/or add appointments without needing to open of the calendar in the collaboration suite application. Email messages can be dragged onto days in the mini-calendar to create meeting proposals. Enhanced UI allows for different meetings being having different appearances based on whether they have been accepted, rejected, etc. Multiple calendars can be viewed simultaneously and their cumulative availability for any time slot can be easily seen via a calendar thermometer. Requests for sharing of calendars can be communicated via email messages, and they can be seamlessly responded to within the email message itself.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2006Date of Patent: September 28, 2010Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Roland J. Schemers, Ross Dargahi, Timothy W. Brennan, Jiho Hahm, Daniel Geoffrey Karp, James Andrew Clark, Matthew Owen Williams

Patent number: 7673446Abstract: An exhaust emission control system for an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The exhaust emission control system has a first passageway and a second passageway disposed to receive exhaust in parallel. The exhaust emission control system also has a valve arrangement configured to regulate the flow of exhaust to the first and second passageways, and at least one sensor configured to sense a parameter indicative of a constituent of the exhaust. The at least one sensor generates a signal corresponding to the sensed parameter. The exhaust emission control system also has a controller in communication with the valve and the at least one sensor. The controller is configured to affect operation of the valve in response to the signal.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2007Date of Patent: March 9, 2010Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Svetlana Mikhailovna Zemskova, Julie Marie Faas, Christie Susan Ragle, Matthew Owen Stefanick, Ronald Graham Silver

Patent number: 7063269Abstract: A rail support plate for use in a rail support system. The plate has an open slotted hole on one side and a hole on its other side. This plate is placed over a set of opposed holes in a support structure. One of these opposed holes has a fixedly secured anchor bolt that can be easily engaged by the open slotted hole of the plate. A securing bolt is inserted into the hole of the plate and into the aligned hole of the support structure. This arrangement permits easy removal and/or addition of a rail support plate from underneath a rail without the need to remove the rail from the support structure. Several rail support plates can be used along the length of the rail whereby the anchor bolts are arranged in a staggered pattern relative to the other.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2001Date of Patent: June 20, 2006Inventor: Godfrey Matthew Owen Molyneux
