  • Publication number: 20240112381
    Abstract: Methods and systems for structuring, storing and displaying time series data in a user interface. One system includes processors executing instructions to determine, from time series data from a first sensor, a first subset of time series data for the first batch from the first start time and the first end time, determine, from the time series data from the first sensor, a second subset of time series data for the second batch from the second start time and the second end time, generate a time series user interface comprising a chart, the chart including a first plot for the first subset of time series data and a second plot for the second subset of time series data, the first plot being aligned to the second plot, and cause presentation of the time series user interface.

  • Publication number: 20160357407
    Abstract: Systems, methods and interfaces allow the user to add a range of expressive animations, animated tags, to specific temporal ranges or locations in media content. The method for providing expressive animations includes providing a user interface for selecting an animated tag to add to media content, the user interface presenting the media content, receiving a selection of the animated tag and an attribute of the media content, responsive to receiving the selection of the animated tag and the attribute of the media content, adding the animated tag to media content based upon the attribute, and providing the media content with the added animated tag for display.

  • Publication number: 20040070255
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method for manufacturing a separable chair assembly, in particular a type of chair assembly which can be separated, folded, overlapped for storage with least space, characterized in that the chair assembly consists of one back unit and one seat unit, closed matched. The back unit and the seat unit are in an H form with slight curvature looked from a side view. The back unit is designed wider than the seat unit, so the chair assembly can be folded in one piece when not in use. The back unit is furnished with a front retaining board and a rear retaining at the center part. While in use, the back unit and the seat unit will cross each other so as to set the seat unit leaning on the retaining boards thus to form a chair. It is a practicable application for use.

  • Patent number: 6227867
    Abstract: A connector assembly comprises a straddle connector including a dielectric housing having a front face forming an island section and a rear face opposite the island section. Upper and lower rows of terminals are embedded within the housing. Each terminal includes a connecting section extending to the island section and a tail section extending beyond the rear face. A retaining slot is defined between the upper and lower rows of tail sections. A PCB having upper and lower rows of golden fingers is inserted into the retaining slot. Each golden finger of one of the upper and lower rows is coated with solder paste. A row of holes is defined in the PCB adjacent to the golden fingers. Each hole is aligned with the extension of the corresponding terminal and has a solder drop disposed therein.

  • Patent number: 6109961
    Abstract: A board lock includes a base section fixed to an electrical device, such as a connector, and an elastically diameter-contractible barrel section extending from the base section beyond a face of the electrical device. The barrel has an external threading. The barrel has a section of nominal diameter substantially equal to or greater than an inner diameter of a hole defined in a circuit board whereby the barrel is elastically contractible to be inserted into the hole which generates a spring-back force driving the external threading to engage with the inner diameter thereby securing the electrical device to the substrate.

  • Patent number: 6102735
    Abstract: A printed circuit board mounted connector which employs separate fasteners for securing the connector to elongate mounting holes of the board. The fastener has an upper cap and a lower non-circular threaded rod. The insulative housing of the connector has a pair of side flanges. Each flange has a stepped through-hole, consisting of an upper hole for receiving the upper cap of the fastener and a lower non-circular hole for receiving the lower non-circular threaded rod of the fastener, and a number of protrusions on an interior wall of the upper hole. The protrusion has an inclined top surface which assist in a turning movement of the upper cap of the fastener within the upper hole of the flange. The lower non-circular threaded rod is dimensioned to be rotatable about a certain angle within the lower non-circular hole of the flange until contacting and thus engaging an interior wall of the lower non-circular hole.

  • Patent number: 6024603
    Abstract: A board lock includes an outer member defining a central hole for receiving an inner member therein. The outer member has a plurality of resilient legs which are expanded by insertion of the inner member. The outer member is received in holes defined in an electrical connector and a printed circuit board. The expansion of the legs causes the legs to engage with an inner surface of the hole of the printed circuit board thereby securing the connector to the printed circuit board. The legs of the outer member are provided with threading which provides an effective and secure engagement between the legs and the hole. Securing the board lock to the circuit board by means of the engagement between the outer member and the inner surface of the hole, together with the resiliency of the legs, allows the board lock to be fixed to holes of different sizes and depths.
