Patent number: 11785584Abstract: A distributed resource model is described that maintains traits of resources in a distributed computing system. The traits include properties, commands, and events that, along with protocols operating in the distributed computing system, provide real-time access to the traits of resources in the distributed computing system, as well as real-time command of controls for the resources. Controllers manage and publish the traits of resources and provide various types of functionality, such as arbitration, complexity management, fan-out of capabilities, coordination, adaptation, and resource proxying.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2022Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: John P. Kozura, Lann Martin, Robert Collier Barnes, Grant Michael Erickson, John G. Macleod, Jeffery T. Lee, Prashant P. Reddy, Gregory Rourk Nelson, Jay D. Logue, Jerry Johns

Patent number: 10810613Abstract: An ad search engine comprises a click tag parser, a rich media parser, an ad copy database, a request/query processing module, a user interface module and a content preservation module. The ad search engine advantageously receives and stores information about ad placement, context and advertising statistical and metadata in the ad copy database. In response to a query, the request/query processing module searches the ad copy database for advertisements matching the input query. The user interface module receives the results and presents them in a novel user interface composed of an array of tiles where each tiles represents a placement of the advertisement. The present invention also includes a several novel methods including a method for displaying ad search results, a method for generating an ad search result user interface, a method for populating an ad database, a method for ad preservation and a method for generating derived insights.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2012Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: ORACLE AMERICA, INC.Inventors: Jonah Goodhart, Noah Goodhart, Robert Collier Crowell, Robert Ken Miller

Patent number: 7691281Abstract: A method of producing a reflective design includes the steps of lasering a pattern on an adhesive side of a reflective laminated material. The lasering ablates the adhesive and causes these areas to not adhere. The reflective laminate material is applied to a substrate. A carrier layer of the reflective laminate is removed to produce a reflective design on the substrate. This method allows for highly customized designs at a reasonable cost that are very visually appealing. The substrate may be a textile, paper, or decal material. The textile may be the garment or may be a patch that is sewn onto a garment or applied to the garment with an adhesive.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2008Date of Patent: April 6, 2010Assignee: Harmony Fastening Systems, Inc.Inventor: Michael Robert Collier

Publication number: 20070014995Abstract: A rotary fiberglass needled glass insulation product is provided. The formation of the needled insulation product may be conducted in a continuous in-line process in which the fibers are rotary formed, a binder is sprayed onto the hot fibers, the fibers are collected onto a conveyor and formed into a fiberglass pack, the fiberglass pack is passed through the oven, and the cured insulation blanket is passed through the needling apparatus. The needled insulation product may have a thickness of less than about 0.75 inches. The reduction in thickness and increased density caused by the needling process permits the production of lower thickness and higher density final insulation products. Thin insulation products made in accordance with the present invention can be manufactured using current manufacturing lines, thereby saving time and money. The needled insulation product may be utilized in household appliances, water heaters, and HVAC equipment.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2005Publication date: January 18, 2007Inventors: Jacob Chacko, Robert Collier, Edward Martine
