Publication number: 20220170722Abstract: A projectile includes a wing structure to form both an inlet that intakes air for combustion by a propulsion system of the projectile during an initial range of flight, and a lift surface for the projectile after the propulsion engine of the propulsion system burns out. The wing structure acts as both the inlet and the lift surface to enable both a long range and an optimal time of flight for the projectile to the target. The wing structure includes at least one wing that is movable from a folded position, in which the wing extends along a propulsion body section of the projectile to define the inlet, to a deployed position, in which the wing extends outwardly from the propulsion body section to form the lift surface. Any number of wings may be provided and the wings may be simultaneously deployed or sequentially deployed depending on the application.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2021Publication date: June 2, 2022Inventors: Andrew J. Lotti, Shawn P. Burke, Donald G. Messitt, Jaylan S. Jones

Patent number: 9060196Abstract: The subject disclosure is directed towards a technology by which background application code (e.g., provided by third-party developers) runs on a mobile device in a way that is constrained with respect to resource usage. A resource manager processes a resource reservation request for background code, to determine whether the requested resources meet constraint criteria for that type of background code. If the criteria are met and the resources are available, the resources are reserved, whereby the background code is ensured priority access to its reserved resources. As a result, a properly coded background application that executes within its constraints will not experience glitches or other problems (e.g., unexpected termination) and thereby provide a good user experience.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2011Date of Patent: June 16, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Peter John Torr, Abolade Gbadegesin, Shawn P. Burke, Vijayendra Gopalrao Vasu, Jason William Fuller, Randal J. Ramig, Kunal R. Gandhi, Jorge I. Raastroem, Darin Miller, Alper Selcuk, Timothy Michael Kurtzman, Rachel Jiang

Publication number: 20120210321Abstract: The subject disclosure is directed towards a technology in which a mobile device maintains an application in a dormant state in which the application's process is not terminated and remains in memory, but the application cannot execute code. Further, state and execution context are maintained for the application, allowing the application to be quickly and efficiently resumed into the running state. To prevent the application from executing code while dormant, thread activity is suspended, requests canceled, completed or paused, resources detached, and so forth. Resource usage may be monitored for dormant applications, to remove a misbehaving dormant application process from memory if improperly using resources.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2011Publication date: August 16, 2012Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Bruno C. Silva, Abolade Gbadegesin, Ion Vasilian, Shawn P. Burke, Timothy Michael Kurtzman, Istvan Cseri, Randal J. Ramig, Adina Magdalena Trufinescu, Peter John Torr, Paul D. Barnett, Srivatsan Kidambi

Patent number: 7908582Abstract: A system and method for discovering the design time attributes of a component are provided. The invention includes a type descriptor that can access metadata associated with a component and report the metadata to a development tool. The invention further includes a custom type descriptor interface that can be implemented on a component in order to dynamically provide information regarding the component to the type descriptor. The invention further includes a type descriptor filter service interface that can be implemented by the development tool to facilitate filtering of design time information regarding components in order to simulate a run time environment. The invention further comprises methodologies and tools for facilitating application development.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2006Date of Patent: March 15, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Brian K. Pepin, Shawn P. Burke

Patent number: 7802186Abstract: “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: GrantFiled: October 6, 2004Date of Patent: September 21, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Shawn P Burke, Jeffrey T Chrisope

Patent number: 7770159Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: October 20, 2004Date of Patent: August 3, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Brian K Pepin, Shawn P Burke

Patent number: 7739665Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: March 30, 2006Date of Patent: June 15, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Victor A. Stone, Shawn P. Burke

Patent number: 7661088Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: October 20, 2004Date of Patent: February 9, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventor: Shawn P Burke

Patent number: 7467373Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: October 18, 2004Date of Patent: December 16, 2008Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Brian K Pepin, Shawn P Burke
