Publication number: 20070043371Abstract: A sternal closure clamp device for securing and retaining longitudinally divided halves of a sternum, the device having four laterally extending engagement members that are positioned in inter-rib spaces on both sides of the sternum. The engagement members are connected to a centralized main body in a manner that allows the engagement members to be shortened or contracted such that the sternal halves may be pressed together and held in abutting relation. Each of the engagement members contracts in a direction non-perpendicular to the sternal incision, and the engagement members on a given side are non-parallel to each other such that device has a generally X-shaped configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2006Publication date: February 22, 2007Inventors: Michael Teague, Shawn Burke

Publication number: 20060200833Abstract: An HTML package of the Windows foundation classes framework allows Java developers to write Java code normally as if they were writing to any user interface framework. The WFC framework converts their coding into standard HTML for display on an Internet Explorer version 4.0 web browser, a selected browser or generic HTML if so indicated by the developer. The HTML generation process is replaceable with third party generators to specifically target selected browsers with differing capabilities. During code writing key value pairs are maintained in arrays and are used to generate styles and attributes, which are further used to generate HTML. Also, several states are used when the code is being written to manage modification and display of HTML directly on a browser. The states and movement between them are transparent to the programmer because the states are handled internally by the library.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2006Publication date: September 7, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Victor Stone, Shawn Burke

Patent number: 7092846Abstract: The invention determines performance data during activity of a person. A microprocessor and a sensor, such as a GPS sensor, attach to the person or to a vehicle ridden by the person. The sensor and microprocessor may integrate in clothing or in a watch worn by the person. Wireless signals may be generated to a remote base station or to a watch. Performance data may for example include speed, drop distance, airtime and power.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2004Date of Patent: August 15, 2006Assignee: PhatRat Technology, Inc.Inventors: Curtis A.

Publication number: 20060101396Abstract: The subject invention provides for a system and/or methodology that automatically effects populating a visual designer toolbox with predefined custom controls. In accordance with aspects of the subject invention, a user (or application) can program a binary definition of a desired custom control. The subject invention can scan the binary to identify the control and transfer the control onto the toolbox. Once populated onto the toolbox, a user can quickly and easily transfer (e.g., click and drag) the controls onto a form within a project as desired.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2004Publication date: May 11, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventor: Shawn Burke

Publication number: 20060101431Abstract: A “virtual type” that, to the reflection system, looks and acts like a fully compiled type—in reality, the “virtual type” does not exist and has been fabricated based on another API such as CodeDOM. Essentially, the “virtual type” allows code to be implemented using a single code path and therefore can remain ignorant that it is dealing with uncompiled source code. A “virtual type” is an object that looks just like a compiled type, provided that it is viewed through a reflection application program interface (API).Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2004Publication date: May 11, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Brian Pepin, Shawn Burke

Publication number: 20060101444Abstract: A system and/or methodology to publish and share global objects in a visual designer is provided. A global object is an object that is available anywhere in the development project, rather than being local to a class or user interface element. Aspects of the invention are directed to a mechanism where global objects can be published, queried and/or used by individual visual designers. Additionally, aspects are directed to systems and/or methodologies where changes to those global objects can be made in such a way that they can be automatically updated in the designer. An alternate aspect of this mechanism can integrate with visual designers such that the designer itself does not need to be modified to accommodate the presence of a global object.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2004Publication date: May 11, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Brian Pepin, Shawn Burke

Publication number: 20060085761Abstract: A system that facilitates masked data entry in an edit control is provided. More particularly, the invention can include a mask engine component that facilitates determination of a valid character from an input of one or more characters with respect to a defined format. In other words, the mask engine can compare an input character to a predefined acceptable format. An interface component that facilitates employment of the mask engine with disparate types of edit controls is also provided. The subject invention can isolate masking functionality as a service that can be interfaced into any desired edit control. For example, the masking service can be interfaced into controls including, but not limited to, a text box, a combo box, a rich edit, a list view and a cell in a data grid or the like.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2004Publication date: April 20, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jay Allen, Michael Harsh, Miguel Lacouture-Amaya, Shawn Burke

Publication number: 20060075352Abstract: “In-situ editing” of a control property within a design surface is provided. “In-situ editing” refers to a feature that can allow a user (e.g., developer) to easily perform multi-pass configuration operations on their user interface (UI) components. This can be achieved by introducing the concept of a new editing mode or view to the integrated development environment (IDE)—(e.g., a Property Editing View (PEV)). The PEV mode can be active. In other words, the user will be presented with a mechanism of viewing and editing all properties without having to move off of the design surface. For example, editing can be performed in-place eliminating the conventional need to enter a property grid.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2004Publication date: April 6, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Shawn Burke, Jeffrey Chrisope

Publication number: 20050178841Abstract: The present invention relates to both a system and method for product and document authentication. The system used herein comprises one or more inks, at least one of which is either invisible to the naked eye or is fluorescent or luminescent, an optical (2, 3, 8) scanning component capable of detecting the signals emitted by all of said inks, and an information technology component for analyzing said signals. Given the large number of combinations of dyes, sizes and shapes of the markings made with said dyes, the ability to change the type, size and shape for the marking (5) for a given product, and the ability to keep track of the dyes and markings used for a given product, the system allows a nearly foolproof system for product authentication. The method involves the above system, or other combinations of inks, for authenticating a given product.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2002Publication date: August 18, 2005Inventors: Guilford Jones, Shawn Burke, Peter McDonald

Publication number: 20030093248Abstract: The invention detects the loft time, speed, power and/or drop distance of a vehicle, such as a sporting vehicle, during activities of moving and jumping. A loft sensor detects when the vehicle leaves the ground and when the vehicle returns to the ground. A controller subsystem converts the sensed information to determine a loft time. A display shows the recorded loft time to a user of the system. In addition, a speed sensor can detect the vehicle's speed for selective display to the user. A power sensing section informs the user of expended energy, which can be compared to other users. A drop distance sensing unit informs the user of the peak height of a jump, during an airtime. Gaming on the internet is facilitated to connect worldwide sport enthusiasts.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2002Publication date: May 15, 2003Inventors: Curtis A.
