Patent number: 11890927Abstract: An improved twin clutch, two-speed disconnect secondary drive unit, which may be configured as a rear drive unit (RDU) for an all wheel drive vehicle is provided. The RDU is driven through an input shaft, which is connected to a vehicle drive source such as a motor, and includes a twin clutch assembly, which is connected to the drive shaft and is selectively actuated to drive left and right main shafts, which drive respective wheels of the vehicle. The RDU further includes a modular a shift assembly mountable to one or both of said main shafts to drive output shafts, wherein each shift assembly is selectively operable between the hi-range and lo-range modes to shift driving operation of the output shafts between hi-speed and lo-speed operation. The shift assembly may be controlled by improved mono-stable or bi-stable actuators.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2020Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Linamar CorporationInventors: Todd Ekonen, Michael Burr, Mitchell Holland, Kyle Milliman, Gary Monkaba, Evan Swinger, Jayson Allison, Sean Hayes, Simon Joliff, Joe Schaffer

Patent number: 11385871Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices supporting adjusting user interfaces based on user usage patterns are described. A page layout server may store an initial page layout for a page corresponding to a data object type, where the initial page layout may be defined by a first user and include a set of user interface components. The page layout server may transmit, to a set of user devices, a first indication of the page for display by the set of user devices according to the initial page layout. The page layout server may track user interactions with the set of user interface components, determine an updated page layout for the page based on an analysis of the tracked user interactions and the initial page layout, and transmit a second indication of the page for display by the set of user devices according to the updated page layout.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2020Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: salesforce, inc.Inventors: Stephen Carraway, Matthew Buland, Michael Burr

Patent number: 10915299Abstract: Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for automatically matching start criteria and completion criteria of a walkthrough for an application or an online service. A database storing data objects identifying walkthroughs and walkthrough stages can be maintained. An indication can be received that walkthrough stages of a first walkthrough in the database have been added, removed, or modified. It can be determined that a first completion criterion associated with a first walkthrough stage of the first walkthrough and a first start criterion associated with a second walkthrough stage of the first walkthrough do not match. The first start criterion and the first completion criterion can be processed to generate a matched start criterion and a matched completion criterion. The first start criterion and the first completion criterion can be replaced with the matched start criterion and the matched completion criterion to generate a modified walkthrough.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2015Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Daniel Everett Jemiolo, Jason Wagner, Michael Burr

Patent number: 10175999Abstract: Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for converting video into a walkthrough for an application or an online service. For example, a database storing data objects identifying walkthrough stages can be maintained. Each walkthrough stage can be associated with one or more features of an application or a service. Video comprising a plurality of frames can be received. A spatial region of one or more of the frames can be matched to a graphical component of the application or the service to produce a mapping. One or more of the frames can be processed using the mapping to determine that an update to a user interface (UI) displayed on a computing device has occurred. One or more walkthrough stages stored in the database can be identified based on the mapping. The one or more identified walkthrough stages can be assigned to a walkthrough. The walkthrough can be stored as a data file in a database of a database system.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2015Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Daniel Everett Jemiolo, Jason Wagner, Michael Burr

Patent number: 7984192Abstract: The invention relates to systems and methods for assigning a unique network identifier to one or more programs invoked on a computer. The computer obtains a plurality of network identifiers and associates a first network identifier to a first program invoked on the computer and associates a second network identifier, different from the first network identifier, to a second program invoked on the computer. The program may be a user session hosted by the computer, an application or an application isolation environment. The computer through a network communication interface transmits the first network identifier with the network communication of the first program and transmits the second network identifier with network communication of the second program.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2004Date of Patent: July 19, 2011Assignee: Citrix Systems, Inc.Inventors: Michael Burr, Min-Chih Lu Earl, Anatoliy Panasyuk, Abolfazl Sirjani

Publication number: 20100289312Abstract: A vehicle seat is provided, in particular a commercial vehicle seat, having a scissor-type stand (3) that can vibrate and comprises a bottom frame (5), a top frame (7), two first rocker arms (8a) and two second rocker arms (8b) that intersect in pairs at a scissor axis (10) extending in a transverse seat direction (y). At least one first rocker arm (8a) is supported at one end by at least one bearing mechanism (20) on the top frame (7) or on the bottom frame (5) so as to be able to rotate and vibrate in the longitudinal seat direction (x). The at least one bearing mechanism (20) has at least one damping spring (26), which elastically absorbs and dampens vibrations in the longitudinal seat direction (x).Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2009Publication date: November 18, 2010Inventors: Michael Burr, Christof Steiner, Thomas Jung, RĂ¼diger Nissen, Thomas Weber

Patent number: 7756984Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a uniform network addressing scheme for a user accessing a network that is independent from the computer from which the user accesses the network. A virtual IP address is assigned to a user, a user session or a program run by user, where the IP address is different from the IP address of the computer of the user, and different from other users. A virtual host name is assigned to and associated with the virtual IP address of the user, user session or the program the user is running. As the user accesses the network from different computers, the user can be assigned the same virtual host name and in some cases the same virtual IP address. Furthermore, as the user accesses the network from multiple user sessions, the user can be assigned a virtual host name that uniquely identifies the user and the user session.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2004Date of Patent: July 13, 2010Assignee: Citrix Systems, Inc.Inventors: Michael Burr, Min-Chih Lu Earl, Anatoliy Panasyuk, Abolfazl Sirjani

Publication number: 20070180453Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to deploying heterogeneous workloads in separate resource pools and provide a method, system and computer program product for on-demand application scheduling in a heterogeneous environment. In one embodiment of the invention, a method for balancing nodal allocations in a resource pool common to both transactional workloads and long running workloads can include parsing a service policy for both transactional workloads and also long running workloads. An allocation of nodes for a common resource pool for the transactional and long running workloads can be determined to balance performance requirements for the transactional workloads and long running workloads specified by the service policy. Subsequently, the determined allocation can be applied to the common resource pool.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2006Publication date: August 2, 2007Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Michael Burr, Erik Daughtrey, Charles Fricano, Daniel Labrecque, Gabriel Montero, Sajan Sankaran, Michael Spreitzer, Malgorzata Steinder
