Patent number: 11958152Abstract: A safety system for a power miter saw comprises a support member, at least one multidirectional manipulator including a workpiece holder member moveably mounted to the support member for securing a workpiece in place, and a control box. The workpiece holder member includes a presence indicator operatively connected to the control box and configured to detect the physical presence of a saw operator's hand on the at least one multidirectional manipulator when the saw operator's hand engages the presence indicator. The control box is operatively connectable to a trigger switch of the power miter saw so that an electric motor of the power miter saw is activated only when both the presence indicator of the safety system and the trigger switch of the power miter saw are engaged by both hands of an operator of the power miter saw.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: MASONITE CORPORATIONInventors: James A.

Publication number: 20240106929Abstract: The invention discloses a computer-implemented method, computer program product, and computer system, for utilizing a hypervisor installed on a smartphone running separate virtual machines (VMs), one configured for personal use and another for work use, thereby allowing for separate operating environments on one piece of hardware. The method includes receiving one or more notifications, or calls, on the smartphone and determining whether the one or more notifications, or calls, are during work hours. The method selects, automatically, the work VM as default if the one or more notifications, or calls, are during work hours. If the one or more notifications, or calls, are not during work hours, the method automatically selects the personal VM as default. The method further notifies a user to switch VMs if the one or more notifications, or calls, occur during a time that is a non-default VM.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Derek Brewer, Robert Wilhelm, Jon D Gullixson, Paul Llamas Virgen

Publication number: 20220057720Abstract: Lithographic patterning method for creating features on a surface of a substrate, including the steps of: applying a resist material to the surface; performing resist processing steps, including at least: selectively exposing the resist material layer to a surface treatment step, wherein the resist material in the exposed locations is chemically modified; and developing the resist material layer to selectively remove the resist material locally. The method further comprises detecting, during or after the resist processing steps, a chemical modification of the resist material for monitoring or evaluating the processing steps. The step of detecting is performed by scanning the surface using a scanning probe microscopy device, and wherein the scanning includes contacting the surface with the probe tip in a probing area. The probing area coincides with at least one location of the exposed locations and non-exposed locations, for detecting the chemical modification.

Patent number: 10026144Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a remote desktop system which allows an application that executes on a remote computing device to be presented to a remote terminal as if the application is executing on the remote terminal. This system determines which of the remote computing device's application windows are top-level windows, and creates a rendering target for each top-level window. The rendering target is a graphics surface that is marshaled to the remote terminal. A PDU (Protocol Data Channel) is produced over this first graphics surface that includes a mapping of the location of the top-level window. A second graphics surface containing transparency information is created for a top-level window that contains a transparency characteristic. This second graphics surface is encoded and marshaled to the remote terminal separately from the first graphics surface. The client computing device receives and merges the two graphics surfaces, and renders a window with the expected transparency.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2016Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Robert Wilhelm Schmieder, Oreste Dorin Ungureanu, Nadim Abdo

Patent number: 9798508Abstract: Embodiments are directed to providing direct access to graphical user interface (GUI) frame buffers and to associating input hardware with a login session. In one scenario, a computer system registers a plug-in software module with a remote desktop client. The registering includes requesting one or more frame buffers rendered for display on a computer system display. The computer system determines that a session has been established between a computer system user and the remote desktop client. The computer system then receives the requested frame buffers and displays the frame buffers on the computer system display and/or sends the received frame buffers to various registered third parties.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2012Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: David Jaroslav Sebesta, Robert C.

Patent number: 8892628Abstract: A shared resource computing (SRC) system that provides a mechanism for creating a shared session among individual sessions is described. In an ad hoc peer model, a session is created by individual users. One individual session assumes an administrative session role and invites other user sessions to join the shared session. Local environments from the individual sessions are published and the resources of the individual sessions form linked device groups that allow the resources to be aggregated for the shared session.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2010Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Clark David Nicholson, Robert Wilhelm Schmieder
