Publication number: 20240137651Abstract: An electronic device includes a housing, a camera system, one or more display devices, and one or more processors. The one or more display devices are coupled to the housing and configurable in multiple different orientations relative to the housing. The one or more processors determine a current orientation of the one or more display devices relative to the housing, and determine an effective field of view (FOV) of a surrounding environment based on the current orientation of the one or more display devices. The one or more processors perform image analysis on a set of image data generated by the camera system. The set of image data is limited to the effective FOV.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2022Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Ellis Anderson, Jeffrey E. Skinner, Lincoln Hancock, Rebecca Megan Frankosky

Publication number: 20240126032Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to an optical fiber cable. The optical fiber cable includes a cable jacket having an inner surface and an outer surface in which the inner surface defines a central bore along a longitudinal axis of the optical fiber cable and the outer surface defines the outermost extent of the cable. The optical fiber cable also includes at least one access feature disposed in the cable jacket between the inner surface and the outer surface. Further included are a first plurality of optical fiber bundles. Each optical fiber bundle includes a second plurality of optical fiber ribbons that has a third plurality of optical fibers arranged in a planar configuration. The optical fiber cable bends uniformly in all directions transverse to the longitudinal axis of the optical fiber cable.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Jessica Ruth Abercrombie, Kevin Nicholas Ball, Xiaole Cheng, Jason Clay Lail, Rebecca Elizabeth Sistare, Ellen Anderson Stupka

Publication number: 20210076694Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for creating and dispensing a dairy-based sparkling beverage are disclosed. Embodiments include creating a beverage mix comprised at least in part of milk and cream, sugar, and a flavor base. The beverage mix is carbonated, and placed into a pressurized container. In some embodiments, the beverage mix is nitrogenated and delivered from a tap. In other embodiments, the beverage mix is placed into individual consumer packages, which are pressurized with carbon dioxide. In still other embodiments, the individual consumer packages may further be pressurized with nitrogen.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2019Publication date: March 18, 2021Applicant: Tillamook County Creamery AssociationInventors: Joe Prewett, Amy Shoemaker, Gillian Kennedy, Steve Dennis, Rebecca Anderson, Eric Loper, Amber Nyssen, Justin Laabs, Steve Marko, Fermin Resureccion

Publication number: 20070255822Abstract: Detecting the failure of file transfers via a network copy service from a source computer to a destination computer via a network monitoring service. If the network monitoring service determines that the source computer is no longer available, the destination computer initiates a second file transfer request via the network copy service from a second source of the file.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2006Publication date: November 1, 2007Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Gregory Thiel, Rebecca Anderson, Thomas Miller, Martin Chisholm

Publication number: 20070162516Abstract: Asynchronous transaction log replication from a source database to a destination database utilizing file change notifications for a source log directory generated by an operating system of a source computing machine and received by a destination computing machine. In response to the received file change notification, a source transaction log in the source log directory is copied to a destination transaction log in a destination log directory of the destinations machine. After the copy is completed, transactions contained in the destination transaction log are applied to the destination database.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2005Publication date: July 12, 2007Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Gregory Thiel, Rebecca Anderson, Alexander Wetmore

Publication number: 20060267272Abstract: A platen structure to facilitate the transport of stacked sheet material conveyed along a transport deck of a sheet feeing apparatus. The platen structure comprises first and second segments connected by means of a compliant coupling. The first segment of the platen is operative to engage a face of the stacked sheet material and apply a stabilizing normal force thereon. The second segment of the platen is operative to engage and travel synchronously with a moving surface of the transport deck. Furthermore, the first and second segments are connected by means of a compliant coupling which is operative to facilitate the relative angular displacement of the first and second segments about at least one axis while maintaining the relative linear displacement therebetween about at least one of the other axes. The platen structure ensures reliable sheet material run-out by compensating for a reduction in sheet material weight as the final or last sheets of the stack are singulated/separated.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2006Publication date: November 30, 2006Inventors: Kevin Herde, Thomas Nguyen, Egbert Most, Rebecca Anderson, Charles Fuller

Publication number: 20060267265Abstract: A cut sheet feeder for feeding stacked sheets of material including a feed support deck defining a planar surface for supporting the stacked sheet material and a transport deck defining an inclined surface relative to the planar surface of the feed support deck. The inclined surface is operative to transport additional sheet material to the feed support deck and produce a cantilevered sheet material delivery profile. Furthermore, a rotating element is employed to engage a surface of the stacked sheet material, and separate a single sheet from other sheet material supported by the feed support deck. The cantilevered delivery profile reduces the weight acting on the stacked material, minimizes the friction developed between individual sheets of material and facilitates separation of the sheets by the rotating element. A platen structure may also be employed to bear against the stacked sheet material to ensure reliable sheet material run out.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2006Publication date: November 30, 2006Inventors: Kevin Herde, Thomas Nguyen, Egbert Most, Rebecca Anderson, Charles Fuller

Publication number: 20050132639Abstract: A preferred tool for killing insects and lifting small objects has a tool, an upper handle part (10); a lower handle part (12), a tool extension base (15); attached to a tool extension (14); by some form of hinge (16). A control rod (11) attaches, at one end, to the tool extension and to a positioner (13) on the other. The control rod (11) is positioned within the handle parts (10 and 12). A pad (45) with adhesive faced sheets (48) is attachable to the tool head formed by the tool extension base and extensions. In other models, the handle (51 and 65) is formed of a single part.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2005Publication date: June 23, 2005Inventors: Rebecca Anderson, Douglas Golenz, Daniel Tarala
