Patent number: 11095069Abstract: A wet-mateable coupling member for making an electrical connection having: a body having a cavity wall which defines an internal cavity, and a hollow sleeve located inside the internal cavity. The sleeve is arranged in the internal cavity to define: an outer chamber between the sleeve and the cavity wall. The sleeve defines an inner chamber inside the sleeve. The sleeve has an electrically-insulating layer and an electrically-conductive layer. The electrically-conductive layer defines an outer surface of the sleeve in the outer chamber and has a semi-conductive layer, the semi-conductive layer being a conductive elastomer. An electrical contact is adapted to be housed inside the inner chamber and configured for making the electrical connection.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2018Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Eric Chaize, Philip Rogan

Patent number: 8924854Abstract: A method for navigation of television program listings within a user interface includes successively displaying a first set of visual cards in a first area of the user interface. Each visual card of the first set of visual cards represents a corresponding broadcast time slot associated with a graphically represented first card characteristic. Selection by a user of a particular visual card of the first set of visual cards is enabled in order to view a television program corresponding to the time slot represented by the selected visual card. In an embodiment, a transition from display of a first visual card of the first set of visual cards to display of a second visual card of the first set of visual cards occurs automatically at the conclusion of a first time period.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2010Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: ARRIS Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Paul G. Allen, James A. Billmaier, John M. Kellum, Anthony F. Istvan, Dewey Reid, Philip Rogan

Patent number: 7752564Abstract: A sequence of cards representing filters is displayed along a first axis of a user interface with a single card being displayed in a focus area. The card in the focus area defines a selected object type filter, which is applied to another sequence of available options. The filtered sequence is then displayed along another (perpendicular) axis of the user interface, which only includes options corresponding to the selected option type filter.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2009Date of Patent: July 6, 2010Assignee: ARRIS Group, Inc.Inventors: James A. Billmaier, John M. Kellum, Dewey Reid, Philip Rogan

Patent number: 7735102Abstract: A sequence of cards is stored that graphically represents available options within an information system. In addition, supplemental information related to at least one card may be obtained. In response to a single user action, the sequence of cards is successively displayed within a focus area of the user interface. When a card having supplemental information is displayed, the supplemental information is also displayed, either on or near the card. In response to a subsequent user action, the successive display is discontinued to display a particular card representing a selected option.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2002Date of Patent: June 8, 2010Inventors: James A. Billmaier, John M. Kellum, Dewey Reid, Philip Rogan

Patent number: 7380260Abstract: Within a personal computer media center, a user interface module generates graphical commands representing a user interface. A network interface then sends the graphical commands via a home network to a media center extension, where a display interface renders the graphical commands into the user interface on a television. In one configuration, the user interface includes a focus area intersected by a first axis, as well as a first sequence of cards displayed along the first axis, each card graphically representing an available option, one card being displayable within the focus area. The first sequence of cards is to be scrolled along the first axis in response to an initiating action to progressively change the card within the focus area. Furthermore, the scrolling of cards is to be halted in response to a terminating action to show a selected card from the first sequence within the focus area.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2002Date of Patent: May 27, 2008Assignee: Digeo, Inc.Inventors: James A.
