Publication number: 20130304088Abstract: A dermatome assembly is operable to harvest a skin graft and includes an ultrasonic dermatome and a power supply. The ultrasonic dermatome includes a body and an ultrasonic blade assembly mounted in the body. The blade assembly includes a frequency generator and a cutting horn powered by the frequency generator. The cutting horn is spaced apart from the body so that the body is restricted from damping vibrational movement of the cutting horn. The dermatome assembly is operable to precisely control the thickness of the cut skin graft and also restrict the cutting horn from overheating.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2013Publication date: November 14, 2013Inventors: James Raymond Lucas, Mark Loyd Jones, James Earl Alrdrich, Peter Barrett Lucas, Norbert Russ, Shane E.

Patent number: 8494867Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention is a method and apparatus for matching buyers and sellers in an anonymous online marketplace. One embodiment of a method for defining a community of network users includes collecting data relating to the network users, where the data is of at least one of the following types: demographic information relating to the network users, Internet Protocol address information relating to the network users, and Internet Protocol traffic information relating to the network users. The collected data is then anonymized, where the anonymizing is performed individually for each type of data. The anonymized data is aggregated to generate an activity-to-demographic mapping representative of network activity associated with particular demographics of the community of network users.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2011Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignee: CS Technology, Inc.Inventors: John Patrick Rosato, Peter Barrett Blessing, Robert Charles Caputo

Patent number: 8375405Abstract: Various technologies for delivering contextual television advertisement are described. A user selection of a media title is received. The media title has an associated set of contextual metadata that includes information regarding the media title. A request for the media title is forwarded to a first server and an advertisement request including the set of contextual metadata is forwarded to a second server. The second server uses the set of contextual metadata to retrieve contextual television advertisement information. The contextual television advertisement information and the media title are received from the second server and the first server respectively. Also, the contextual television advertisement information and the media title are played.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2007Date of Patent: February 12, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Ronald A.

Patent number: 8095611Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems are provided for enhancing the functionality of a communication device, such as a communication endpoint. This provides the ability to enhance less intelligent SIP endpoints with required features to support a richer user experience. Furthermore, the endpoint enhancer may be dynamically pluggable onto an existing network device. This provided pluggability allows a network administrator to add a new SEE template to the network without disrupting the network operation or the operation of previously existing SEEs.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2009Date of Patent: January 10, 2012Assignee: Avaya Inc.Inventors: Peter Barrett, Chris Boulton, Gordon R. Brunson, Ian Evans, Joel M. Ezell, Gethin Liddell, Harsh V. Mendiratta, David Shutt

Patent number: 8032837Abstract: A system and method of controlling user interface features of a web application is provided. The system comprises a collection of user interface control elements, a collection of skin templates comprising extensible markup language based markup contained as children of a container element, and a collection of control element instructions for performing actions associated with the control elements. Each control element comprises a namespace, common attributes for defining graphical features of the control element and for associating the control element with the internal state of the core control element, other attributes for defining attributes that affect the intrinsic behavior of the control, and a skin template reference attribute for referencing a skin template. Each instruction is associated with a control element.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2003Date of Patent: October 4, 2011Assignee: Corel CorporationInventors: Gordon Bowman, Peter Barrett

Publication number: 20110173194Abstract: Automatically marking locations of user interest in media content is disclosed. Data that describes user interaction with media content is analyzed to determine locations of potential interest. For each of the locations of potential interest, the data is analyzed to determine whether user interest satisfies a criterion for establishing a mark for the location. Marks are determined for those locations that satisfy the criterion. A mark includes a description for a given location and information that allows the given location to be automatically presented to a user upon selection of the description. In another aspect, extrinsic data that is separate from a piece of media content is analyzed to determine whether moments of high user interest might exist in the piece of media content. Then, the piece of media content is scanned to find locations in the media content that correspond to the moments.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2008Publication date: July 14, 2011Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: David Sloo, Peter Barrett

Patent number: 7836128Abstract: Reducing the amount of input required by a user to enter an electronic message. When an electronic message is received, one or more language expressions associated with the electronic message are displayed to a user. The user may select one or more of the language expressions and have the full text of all the selected language expressions included in a reply electronic message. Icons, which represent a user's capability to engage in an electronic messaging session, may also be displayed. When a user changes their capability to engage in an electronic messaging session, for instance when they go offline, a command may be sent to other users. This command may take the form of a character sequence not normally occurring in written language, which is interpreted by network devices and changes the display of the icon associated with a the user who went offline.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2008Date of Patent: November 16, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Daniel Danker, Peter Barrett
