Patent number: 8620305Abstract: A mobile device test framework is used in combination with client controllers and device controllers so that a single mobile device API test can be used with mobile devices having different operating system platforms. The client controllers can provide information specific to the client and the device controllers can provide information needed to apply the test to each of the mobile device platforms. The test framework can navigate through the controls of the mobile device GUIs and input information. The test framework can then check that the text and images displayed by the mobile devices match the expected information.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2011Date of Patent: December 31, 2013Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Siddhartha Singh, Michael Hamlin

Patent number: 8167940Abstract: An aspheric toric intraocular lens (IOL) having toricity and asphericity in a single lens. The toricity and asphericity may be provided on separate surfaces, such as an anterior surface and a posterior surface, or the toricity and asphericity may be combined onto a single surface. The edge thickness may be varied sinusoidal to maintain equal edge thickness at 45 degree meridian.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2009Date of Patent: May 1, 2012Assignee: Novartis AGInventors: Xin Hong, James Hoffman, Jihong Xie, Michael Hamlin

Publication number: 20110184514Abstract: An intraocular lens providing pseudo-accommodation includes a haptic assembly configured to position the accommodating intraocular lens; and a meniscus-shaped optic having a convex face and a concave face. The meniscus-shaped optic has an uncompressed state within an eye when the ciliary muscles are relaxed and a compressed state within the eye when the ciliary muscles are contracted. A principal plane of the meniscus-shaped optic in the uncompressed state is anterior to the principal plane of the meniscus-shaped optic in the compressed state. A spherical aberration of the meniscus-shaped optic is substantially different in the compressed state than in the uncompressed state.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2010Publication date: July 28, 2011Inventors: Robert Dimitri Angelopoulos, Michael Hamlin, James M. Scott, Costin Eugene Curatu

Publication number: 20090292356Abstract: An improved multifocal design for IOL is provided. A particular embodiment includes an intraocular lens (IOL) with a foldable optic. The IOL also includes multi-hinged haptics coupled to the foldable optic operable to position the IOL within an eye. Each of the multi-hinged haptics includes a first hinge and a second hinge farther from the foldable optic. The first hinge has a first thickness between an anterior side and a posterior side of the multi-hinged haptic, the second hinge has a second thickness between the anterior side and the posterior side of the multi-hinged haptic, and the first thickness is greater than the second thickness. Another embodiment of the present invention provides a method to correct the visual impairment of an aphakic patient by implanting such an IOL.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2009Publication date: November 26, 2009Inventors: Michael Hamlin, James Scott, Huong Huynh

Publication number: 20080118350Abstract: The application may further describe a seal guard in a turbine where the turbine include a plurality of circumferentially spaced nozzles, a plurality of circumferentially spaced turbine blades that each include a blade cover, and an opening defined by a trailing edge of the nozzles and a leading edge of the blade covers. The seal guard may include an upstream axial fin positioned at the trailing edge of the nozzles that extends in a downstream direction across at least part of the opening or a downstream axial fin positioned at a leading edge of a blade cover that extends in an upstream direction across at least part of the opening.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2006Publication date: May 22, 2008Inventors: Sean Feeny, Michael Montgomery, Mark Bowen, Stephen Swan, David Caruso, Wei-Min Ren, Michael Hamlin, Jeffrey Simkins

Patent number: 7273348Abstract: A method for aligning an inner shell of a turbine assembly with an outer shell of the turbine assembly along a transverse centerline of the turbine assembly perpendicular to an axial centerline of the turbine assembly includes positioning a first gib key assembly with respect to the transverse centerline. The first gib key assembly is connected to a first end surface of the inner shell to form a first groove within the first gib key assembly. A projection formed on a first end of the outer shell mateably engages the first groove formed within the first gib key assembly to align the inner shell with the outer shell along the transverse centerline.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2005Date of Patent: September 25, 2007Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Jeyaruban Amirtharajah, Thomas W. Swart, Michael Hamlin, Michael Earl Montgomery

Publication number: 20060182625Abstract: A nozzle box includes a torus, bridge ring and nozzle ring portions wherein steam flowing generally circumferentially in the torus portion is redirected for flow generally axially by the bridge ring portion. The steam exiting the bridge ring portion flows into nozzles formed by adjacent partitions of the nozzle ring portion. Bridges in the bridge ring portion are tangentially leaned to exactly match the angle of inclination of the leading edges of the axially adjacent partitions at like circumferential locations. For strength purposes, there are two bridges for each partition. Every other bridge axially registers with the leading edge of the axially downstream partition matching its angle while remaining bridges are equally spaced between the aligned bridges. In this manner, the steam flow is straightened by the bridges to match the angle of the leading edge of the nozzle partitions with consequent reduction of passage area loss.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2005Publication date: August 17, 2006Applicant: General Electric CompanyInventors: Charles O'Clair, Michael Hamlin

Publication number: 20050063821Abstract: An exhaust hood for a turbine includes a shell casing, an external support structure, conical corner plates, and a butterfly plate. The shell casing includes an inner surface and an outer surface. The external support structure is coupled to the shell casing outer surface, and provides structural support to said shell casing. The butterfly plate is coupled to the shell casing inner surface for channeling flow into the exhaust hood and subsequently into the condenser. The butterfly plate has a substantially elliptically-shaped cross-sectional profile that facilitates reducing flow separation losses of steam flowing therethrough into the exhaust hood.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2003Publication date: March 24, 2005Inventors: Alexander Luniewski, Michael Hamlin, Robert Cantelupe, Raymond Overbaugh
