Patent number: 11516929Abstract: A power adapter is disclosed. The power adapter includes housing parts that carries electronic components. To secure the housing parts together, one housing part includes snaps and another housing part includes protrusions and rails. During assembly, the protrusions slide under the snap, causing the snap to deflect in one direction, while the rails slide over the snap, which keeps the snap partially flat but also causes the snap to deflect in another direction. The engagement (during assembly) of the rails and the protrusions to opposing surfaces of the snap cause bi-directional deflection/bending of the snap. When each protrusion is positioned into an opening of the snap, the snap returns to a flat, non-deflected state, and the housing parts are secured together by the snap, protrusions, and rails. The rails support the snaps by limiting or preventing additional deflection of the snap, which subsequently promotes the housing remaining together.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2020Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Peter A. Dvorak, Jeremy M. Dahl, Michael A. Foote, Brian K. Thorne, Cesar Lozano Villarreal

Patent number: 10505308Abstract: An enclosure for an electronic device includes a housing having a wall that defines a cavity that is configured to receive an electronic assembly therein. The wall includes tongue formed at a distal end. A cover includes a top wall and a side surface extending from the top wall to form a chamber. The housing is at least partially received within the chamber and the tongue of the housing is welded to a groove positioned within the chamber. Flash from the weld is contained within the enclosure so that no weld flash is visible on the exterior surface of the enclosure.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2018Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Peter A. Dvorak, Joshua K. Anderson, Michael A. Foote, Christopher J. Pawlowski, Ross C. Heyman

Patent number: 10038939Abstract: A system and method for enabling a user to interact with a social networking structure for an internet website on a video device connected to a network enabled host device is provided. The present disclosure provides for accessing an internet site in response to a user input, the user input initiated while outputting a program to a display, retrieving content from the internet site based on at least one characteristic associated with the program, and outputting the retrieved content in an overlay or user interface on the display simultaneous with the program. The user interface provides the ability to access multiple profiles for determining whose content or message to display, and also includes a rotating carousel message display system, with a current message surrounded above and below by a previous message and a next message in the display queue in a different size or font.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2014Date of Patent: July 31, 2018Assignee: THOMSON LICENSINGInventors: Evan Michael Foote, Martin Vincent Davey

Patent number: 9088766Abstract: The marking of a video stream to impart a unique identifier commences by first identifying portions within the video stream readily susceptible to change in a visually imperceptible manner. Thereafter, a combination of visually imperceptible changes is applied to the identified portions at random intervals for randomly varying intervals to mark the video stream. Each change in the stream correlates a particular bit sequence so that a combination of different changes yields a string of bit sequences that can particularly identify the stream.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2011Date of Patent: July 21, 2015Inventor: Evan Michael Foote

Patent number: 9075983Abstract: A more secure CAPTCHA makes use of a distorted alphanumeric character string or strings that include one or more glyphs, pictures or symbols foreign to a target audience. Adding at least one of a glyph, picture or symbol makes recognition of the distorted string trivial since humans who would know which of the character set to expect, but a very difficult decision for a computer already struggling to decide where a character begins and ends, let alone identifying the character as being valid.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2011Date of Patent: July 7, 2015Assignee: Thomson LicensingInventor: Evan Michael Foote
