Patent number: 11253212Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the use of X-ray detector cassettes that may be abutted or overlapped to form a detector assembly suitable for imaging objects that are too large to image using a single X-ray detector cassette. Such a detector assembly may be customized in terms of the size and/or shape of the field-of-view (FOV). In certain embodiments the radiation-sensitive electronics (e.g., readout electronics) are positioned to the side of the X-ray detecting components (e.g., scintillator, TFT array, and so forth), allowing the cassette to be thin relative to other detector devices and allowing the electronics to remain outside the X-ray beam path.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2020Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANYInventors: Biju Jacob, Douglas Albagli, William Robert Ross, William Andrew Hennessy, Eric Patrick Davis, Bruno Kristiaan Bernard De Man, Nicholas Ryan Konkle

Patent number: 11055725Abstract: A system and method for temporal feasibility analyses that links a service requirement to a source capable of providing a service. In embodiments, the service requirement is received from a requestor, wherein the service requirement defines a type of service, location, and a request to provide the service within a predetermined time period. A repository of sources is analyzed to determine qualified sources that provide service to a region that includes the service location and have a response status greater than a predefined threshold, where the response status indicates a probability of the source being available to provide the service within the time period. A request is sent to each qualified source to provide the service, and responses are then received from at least one of the qualified sources in response to sending the request.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2018Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: HOMEADVISOR, INC.Inventors: Paul Zeckser, Brandon Ridenour, Andrew Tilley, Patrick Davis, Casey Laird, Eric Smith

Publication number: 20190254546Abstract: The present approach relates to the fabrication of probes of a probe array device using wire bonding techniques. In certain implementation, a wire bond apparatus bonds ones end of a wire to a region of a probe array substrate. The second end, however, is not bonded to the substrate and instead is either fabricated to be vertical with respect to the substrate or raised from a non-bonded site to be vertical. The process may be repeated to form multiple probes of the probe array.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2018Publication date: August 22, 2019Inventors: Craig Patrick Galligan, Nancy Cecelia Stoffel, Eric Patrick Davis, Kaustubh Ravindra Nagarkar

Patent number: 10078627Abstract: Collaboration cards are provided to enable people to collaborate and receive instant replies to comments or questions from anywhere in a collaboratively generated document. A collaborator may add somebody's name to a collaboration card and ask that person for information, for example. That person may receive the question/comment via an email, a text message, a posting, or comparable communication methods, and respond back with the requested information through the same communication channel or another communication channel. The replied content may be placed into the collaboration card created in the document, and the original sender may be enabled to accept a change to the document content based on the collaboration card.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2015Date of Patent: September 18, 2018Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Shikha Desai, Gary Caldwell, Rolf Ebeling, Taili Feng, Paul Scudieri, Sung Joon Won, Eugene Y.
