Publication number: 20240152245Abstract: A computer system displays a first object that includes at least a first portion of the first object and a second portion of the first object and detects a first gaze input that meets first criteria, wherein the first criteria require that the first gaze input is directed to the first portion of the first object in order for the first criteria to be met. In response, the computer system displays a first control element that corresponds to a first operation associated with the first object, wherein the first control element was not displayed prior to detecting that the first gaze input met the first criteria, and detects a first user input directed to the first control element. In response to detecting the first user input directed to the first control element, the computer system performs the first operation with respect to the first object.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2023Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Lee S.

Patent number: 8611512Abstract: A system is disclosed for integrating electronic mail, voice mail, and fax mail in a universal mailbox. Message receivers may access their messages with a telephone or a computer regardless of the communication medium used by the message sender. Using a telephone, message receivers may playback voice mail, redirect fax mail, and “listen” to e-mail through a text-to-speech conversion process. Using a computer and modem, message receivers may playback voice mail, view fax mail, and read e-mail by accessing the universal mailbox via connection software. Message senders and receivers may choose from a variety of filter and forward options that allow them to manage their communications via the universal mailbox. Forwarding and conversion of messages is performed automatically. The options are used to define a set of rules to be applied to inbound and outbound messages so that messages are sent and received in accordance with the preferences of the senders and receivers.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2007Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: Cranberry Properties, LLCInventors: Stephen J. Owens, Michael S. Finney, Michael L. Snider, Randall S. Wright, James W. Paynter, Robin R. Bard, James Arthur Kitchen, David Gregory Smith, Leonard A. DeNittis, Kyle S. Brown, Thomas Francis Johnson, III, Steve Feinstein

Patent number: 8172540Abstract: An airfoil family for a helicopter rotor blade, designated SC362XX. SC362XX essentially removes the large lower surface suction peak associated with ‘drag creep’ at moderate lift coefficients while reducing the peak Mach number and shock strength at high lift/Mach number conditions. Another optional airfoil family for use at inboard regions of the helicopter rotor, which is designated SC3252XX airfoil family, is a relatively thicker airfoil section that includes a significant increase in thickness forward of the 30% x/c location to provide a relatively thick and rigid inboard section. The lift coefficient at which the drag divergence Mach number was optimized is the same in both families thereby readily providing application to a single rotor blade.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2010Date of Patent: May 8, 2012Assignee: Sikorsky Aircraft CorporationInventor: Stephen J.

Patent number: 5150857Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle having a toroidal fuselage that surrounds a pair of coaxial, multi-bladed, counter-rotating rotors. The toroidal fuselage has an airfoil profile that is optimized to provide high hover efficiency and produce a pressure distribution that provide high lift forces. The airfoil profile is further optimized to counteract the undesirable nose-up pitching moments experienced by ducted rotary-type UAVs in forward translational flight.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 1991Date of Patent: September 29, 1992Assignee: United Technologies CorporationInventors: Robert C. Moffitt, Stephen J. Owen

Patent number: 4744728Abstract: A family of airfoil cross sections, termed SC21xx, for use in a helicopter blade is disclosed. The airfoil (36) achieves maximum lift performance equivalent to prior art airfoil configurations without incurring increased aerodynamic drag at high velocities. The airfoil (36) was developed by thickening and drooping the leading edge region (38) of the prior art airfoil (30) improving lift in the leading edge region (38) and delaying the formation of sonic shock waves at high velocities.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 1986Date of Patent: May 17, 1988Assignee: United Technologies CorporationInventors: David A. Lednicer, Stephen J. Owen
