Patent number: 9665552Abstract: A form layout system includes a form layout tool that provides a flexible way to lay out forms on a web page. The form layout tool configures a web configuration file with the location of form layout styles, and uses the form layout styles, a number of columns, a number of fields, and a “size” of each field to include in the component of a page layout to create a page layout for a target application. The form layout tool generates a revised application page with the created page layout by applying the form layout style to the created page layout.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2015Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: ACCENTURE GLOBAL SERVICES LIMITEDInventors: Jonathan E Peters, Matthew R Foster

Patent number: 9582253Abstract: An expression editor system allows a user to build an expression specifying an action that may occur during execution of a target application. The expression editor system includes an expression editor tool used to create, manage, and store action point definitions that include an action point identifier that specifies an action point located in target application program code. The expression editor system determines from the action point definition a dataset that is in-context at the action point in the application program code, obtains data field selections from the dataset that is in-context at the action point in the application program code, graphically builds an expression, and an outcome that executes depending the expression, links the outcome and the expression to form an action point rule for the action point, and saves the action point rule in the database for execution when the application program code reaches the action point.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2014Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: Accenture Global Services LimitedInventors: Naima Aman, Joan McGraw, Kathleen Devlin, Jeremy Van Cuylenburg, Matthew R.

Patent number: 8793568Abstract: A page design system addresses the need to impart flexibility into the design and customization of graphical user interfaces for applications. The graphical user interface includes pages and display groups within each page, and the page design system permits each individual page to be modified to suit the needs of a particular customer. So that the pages do not depart from their fundamental purpose to too great of an extent, the page design system guides and constrains the modifications to each page. In particular, the page design system constrains customization of each display group according to established definitions of admissible graphical user interface elements that are appropriate for each page, and each display group of elements within the page.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2011Date of Patent: July 29, 2014Assignee: Accenture Global Services LimitedInventors: Naima Aman, Joan McGraw, Kathleen Devlin, Jeremy Van Cuylenburg, Matthew R.

Publication number: 20120254230Abstract: An expression editor tool allows a user to build an expression or calculation with a rule that specifies an action programmed to occur during execution of a target application. The expression editor tool allows a user to define an action point definition that specifies an action point located in the target application logic instructions. The expression editor tool determines from the action point definition a dataset that is in-context at the action point, provides an expression definition interface to obtain selected data fields from the dataset, and a selected logical operator to connect the selected data fields used to construct a new expression. The expression editor tool provides an outcome selection interface used to obtain a selected outcome for the new expression in order to create a rule including the new expression and the selected outcome, and store the rule in the database linked to the action point definition.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2011Publication date: October 4, 2012Inventors: Naima Aman, Joan McGraw, Kathleen Devlin, Jeremy Van Cuylenburg, Matthew R.

Patent number: 5005523Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved hatcher structure which is more efficient than conventional hatchers and which is easier to construct, operate and service. In particular, the hatcher of the present invention utilizes a restricted area, high pressure zone of air to control the exhaust of air from within the chamber and, in turn, control the intake of cooler external air into the chamber and the mixing of that air with the internal air. To achieve this control, the hatchet of the present invention further utilizes a mobile environmental adjustment system and an alignment mechanism which ensures precise and consistent placement of the environment adjustment system within the chamber. In addition, the present invention employs an improved frame post and doorway seal which facilitate construction, operation and maintenance and which promote internal environmental consistency.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 1990Date of Patent: April 9, 1991Assignee: Marmon CorporationInventor: Matthew R.

Patent number: 4706608Abstract: An improved poultry egg incubation structure comprising a plurality of ceiling panels, a plurality of side wall panels, a front end panel including at least one door, a rear end panel including at least one door, improved joining members for interconnecting the ceiling panels, side wall panels and end panels to form an incubation chamber, an air intake vent, an air exhaust vent, an environmental control apparatus for humidifying, heating and circulating air within the chamber, and an intake air flow control apparatus in communication with an intake air flow vent for controlling the mixing of cool external air with the heated and humidified internal air and for preventing the cool external air from flowing directly into the area of the incubation structure containing incubating eggs. The improved joining members including a corner support member, a ceiling electrical outlet assembly and a side wall gasket support member and gasket.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 1986Date of Patent: November 17, 1987Assignee: The Marmon Group, Inc.Inventor: Matthew R.
