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: 10567480Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media are provided for enabling client devices to remotely control a shared application. A remote control service receives a request for a shared application to be controlled by a multiple client devices. Based on this request, the client devices are enabled to remotely control the shared application. A command from one of the client devices is received at the remote control service to modify a display of the shared application without the client device receiving any sensitive information associated with the shared application or the computing device running the shared application. The command is used to cause a modification to the display of the shared application.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2017Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Marguerite R.

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: 8677276Abstract: A method implemented on a multi-tuner receiver system comprises successively displaying a set of visual cards where each visual card of the set of visual cards comprises a graphical representation. A visual card of the set of visual cards is selected, the visual card being associated with a first television program. Based on a characteristic of the selected visual card, a second television program is identified. The second television program is then tuned.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2012Date of Patent: March 18, 2014Assignee: ARRIS Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Hubert E. Kolde, James A. Billmaier, John M.

Patent number: 8512042Abstract: An educational interactive game of the invention includes a system for teaching financial skills to players, and in particular, children in the context of an interactive electronic game. Each player is initially provided a predetermined amount of periodic earned income, periodic expenses and a predetermined amount of cash on hand. These items are represented by corresponding indicia on an electronic display. An object of the game is for a player to generate passive income greater than the player's expenses by encountering game events that provide a player the opportunity to make financial choices to affect the desired outcome.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2012Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: Cashflow Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Philip A.

Publication number: 20100070910Abstract: A user interface for a mobile device allows users to interact across applications with information relevant to known people, organizations, or locations, referred to herein as “recognized entities.” Every type of recognized entity has associated action options that populate a node menu for that type. The node menu options are selectable, for example, through a touchscreen interface, to rapidly execute the associated action. In another embodiment, a plurality of data windows, referred to as “spinners,” are viewed simultaneously on one display. Each spinner is a view of one or more data objects provided that are distinguished from one another by data type, context, parsing or sorting algorithms, or user interaction with this data. The spinners respond to user actions, to new information from the server, or external events by automatically visibly scrolling the data displayed in the spinner windows.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2009Publication date: March 18, 2010Inventors: Michael Zimmerman, Philip A.
