Patent number: 11907224Abstract: The present technology provides for facilitating removal of undesired search results. In one embodiment, a search request including a search term(s) to use for performing a search is obtained. Thereafter, a search query is generated to execute the search. The search query includes the search terms and a removal parameter indicating a particular search result to exclude from search results returned in response to the search request. A set of search results are provided for display via a user device. Such a set of search results can be identified based on execution of the search query and exclude the particular search result.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2022Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Irgelkha Mejia, Michele Saad, Ronald Eduardo Oribio, Robert Burke, Jr.

Publication number: 20240046399Abstract: Systems and methods use machine learning models with content editing tools to prevent or mitigate inadvertent disclosure and dissemination of sensitive data. Entities associated with private information are identified by applying a trained machine learning model to a set of unstructured text data received via an input field of an interface. A privacy score is computed for the text data by identifying connections between the entities, the connections between the entities contributing to the privacy score according to a cumulative privacy risk, the privacy score indicating potential exposure of the private information. The interface is updated to include an indicator distinguishing a target portion of the set of unstructured text data within the input field from other portions of the set of unstructured text data within the input field, wherein a modification to the target portion changes the potential exposure of the private information indicated by the privacy score.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Applicant: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Irgelkha Mejia, Ronald Oribio, Robert Burke, Michele Saad

Patent number: 11291788Abstract: The invention relates to a mask for administering oxygen or other breathable gas to the nose and mouth of a patient. The invention relates to improvements in gas delivery masks, and specifically an improved diffuser structure which is particularly suitable for use in an open mask system, in which the mask body includes substantial openings that allow the user to freely converse, drink, and perform other functions. The improvements also relate to a rebound chamber within the diffuser body spaced apart from the gas conduit outlet, the rebound surface being configured to rebound and reverse the direction of flow of at least a substantial portion of the gas stream exiting the outlet from the forward direction to a rearward direction towards the user's face.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2019Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: SOUTHMEDIC INCORPORATEDInventors: Lisette McDonald, Maurice Lavimodiere, Andrew Morum, Alex McDonald, Julius Hajgato, Robert Burke

Patent number: 10709859Abstract: We disclose a mask for administering a breathable gas to a patient, which comprises a mask body and a gas flow disrupter joined to the mask body for generating a turbulent gas plume rearwardly towards the nose and mouth of the patient. The mask body is configured to position the flow disrupter so as to be spaced from and opposing the patient's nose and mouth region when the mask is worn by the patient. The mask includes a gas inlet for admitting gas from an external source into the mask interior, through the gas flow disrupter. The gas flow disrupter can be configured to generate a turbulent gas plume wherein the velocity of gas exiting the disrupter is approximately the same as the gas velocity entering the mask from the gas inlet.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2019Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: SOUTHMEDIC INCORPORATEDInventors: Lisette McDonald, Maurice Lavimodiere, Sandy McDonald, Alex McDonald, Robert Burke, Andrew Morum, Julius Hajgato

Publication number: 20180361090Abstract: We disclose an apparatus, system, and method for controlling a level of a compound in a patient with a combination of a fluid administration device, a sensor and a controller. The sensor detects the level of a compound within the patient and transmits this data relating the controller. The controller controls fluid flow rate to the device. A unit is provided that connects to the device, enabling the device to operate in a “smart device” mode such that the device effectively communicates with the controller. The unit includes a data storage unit for storing digital information identifying the fluid delivery device and/or properties thereof, and a data transmitting unit for electronically transmitting the stored information in the data storage unit to the controller.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2016Publication date: December 20, 2018Inventors: Lee McDonald, Alex McDonald, Andy Morum, Robert Burke

Publication number: 20170233229Abstract: A method of alerting a person to the proximity of a load being carried by a crane includes generating a trigger signal from a crane operator station when a load being carried by a crane is in proximity to a person. A wireless alarm signal is transmitted from a transmitter in response to the trigger signal. The wireless alarm signal is received by a receiver in wireless communication with the transmitter. An alarm from an alarm device is created in response to receiving the wireless alarm signal by the receiver. The alarm device is suspended from a load line that carries the load to be in proximity with the load.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2017Publication date: August 17, 2017Inventor: Robert Burke

Patent number: 8898955Abstract: A plant growth support medium is described to enhance soil characteristics and provide where required, improved water, or nutrient contents. La addition the medium can be inoculated with microorganisms to aid soil characteristics and provide interactions within micron-scale environment between plant roots, water, nutrients and where applicable, bacteria and root exudates. This micro-environment provides direct delivery of active ingredients to the plant roots. The medium comprises a polymeric material having a primary pore size of greater than 30 micron. The walls of the pores are elastic, enabling the pore to swell in size to retain water, solutes or other biologically useful components and allow root penetration through them. Sulphonation of the walls renders the walls more hydrophilic so attracting water into the pores and also increasing the wall elasticity. Capillaries can be provided to interconnect pores and allow root penetration into the medium.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2009Date of Patent: December 2, 2014Assignee: University of Newcastle Upon TyneInventors: Galip Akay, David Robert Burke, Teresa Manguangua Ndlovu

Patent number: 8802520Abstract: In one implementation, a method of forming a field effect transistor includes etching an opening into source/drain area of a semiconductor substrate. The opening has a base comprising semiconductive material. After the etching, insulative material is formed within the opening over the semiconductive material base. The insulative material less than completely fills the opening and has a substantially uniform thickness across the opening. Semiconductive source/drain material is formed within the opening over the insulative material within the opening. A transistor gate is provided operatively proximate the semiconductive source/drain material. Other aspects and implementations are contemplated.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2013Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Sanh D. Tang, Michael P.

Patent number: 8788071Abstract: A configuration system uses process plant items that may represent, or be capable of representing, entities in a process plant to assist in configuring, organizing, and changing the control and display activities within the process plant. Access to the items may be controlled by associating access control data with the items. The configuration system may also use objects that represent, or may be capable of representing, one or more steps to be performed by entities in the process plant. Access to these objects may be controlled by associating access control data with the objects. The access control data may indicate whether users or certain users may be able to, for example, view or modify all or some data associated with the process plant items or the objects.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2011Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: Fisher-Rosemount Systems, Inc.Inventors: John Michael Lucas, Arthur Webb, Mark J.
