Patent number: 9613017Abstract: A device receives text that includes data values, and parses the text to identify data types associated with the data values. The device generates, based on the data values and the data types, a graphical representation of the text that includes data cells corresponding to the data values, and provides the graphical representation for display. The device receives one or more selections of one or more data cells in the graphical representation, stores the one or more selections as a selection history, and provides the selection history for display.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2013Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignee: The MathWorks, Inc.Inventors: Richard A. Spada, James G. Owen, Felix Alvarez, Robert I. Jacobs, Abigail S. Skofield, Arun Koushik Parthasarathy, Claudia G. Wey

Patent number: 8064083Abstract: A method and graphical user interface for selecting pad printing functions for an image output device. The user interface is provided to a user and displays a pad printing dialog box that enables selection of pad printing output. Selectable pad printing options are displayed, which include the number of sheets per pad and the total number of pads to be output. When the user selection of pad printing and pad printing options are received, the total quantity of sheets to be output based on selected pad printing options and organizing the sheets for pad printing output from the image output device are automatically determined. Availability of pad printing is determined based on finishing options selected.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2007Date of Patent: November 22, 2011Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Thomas J. Perry, James J. Dombrowski, Robert I. Jacobs, Albert L. O'Neil, III, Mustapha Guesmia, Raju Seetharam

Patent number: 8049926Abstract: Methods and systems of selecting a color for a print operation are disclosed. A color including a color formula with multiple color components may be selected based on a reference color. A print sample may be printed on a printing device based on the selected color. The print sample may include the selected color and one or more rings of color variants. Each ring may include a plurality of color variants differing from a color component of the selected color by a corresponding amount. Each color variant may be aligned axially based on the color component that differs from the selected color and a magnitude of a difference between the color component of the color variant and the selected color. The print sample may be compared to the reference color. A document may be printed on the printing device using at least the color formula for the selected color.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2008Date of Patent: November 1, 2011Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Ken Hayward, Robert I. Jacobs, Thomas J. Perry, Brandon S. McComber, Geoffrey J. Woolf, Mary Ann Sprague, Jennifer Perotti

Patent number: 7812976Abstract: A method for utilizing a graphical user interface for concurrent programming of multiple feature operations to a single production job in a controller for a production system includes presenting options on the user interface for the selection of job properties or queue properties, with queue properties defined as default values for the virtual device to which the job will be submitted and job properties defined as job feature selection options. The job feature selection options may be hidden or displayed to enable the selection of valid job feature combinations only. Toggle controls are utilized for job feature options whose operation is limited by previously selected job feature options. The application of any valid combination of selected job feature options on the completed production job is illustrated on a dynamic graphic.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2005Date of Patent: October 12, 2010Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Thomas J. Perry, Natasha A. Gitany-Alonso, Robert I. Jacobs, Albert L. O'Neil, III, Raju Seetharam

Patent number: 4227515Abstract: A solar energy conversion apparatus having two phases of operation which, in one phase, absorbs thermal energy from sunlight incident on the device, and in a second phase, absorbs energy from air in an attic-type space heated by solar radiation. The two phases may be utilized independently or in concert dependent upon conditions. A solar energy collector is disposed to collect and transfer incident solar energy to a fluid, such as water, flowing through the collector. A heat exchanger is disposed to permit flow of heated air therethrough from an attic-type space in a building, such air having been heated by solar energy incident on the roof of the building. The heat exchanger transfers heat from the air to a fluid, such as water, flowing therethrough. The solar collector and heat exchanger are connected via a plurality of valves and a pump to a water storage tank.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 1979Date of Patent: October 14, 1980Inventors: Robert I.
