Patent number: 9369411Abstract: Displaying electronic information in an instant-messaging application includes accessing a first electronic message providing information describing a first user that has an identifier included in a set of identifiers of users of an instant messaging application. A second electronic message providing information describing a second user that has an identifier included in the set of identifiers of users of an instant messaging application is accessed. Content contained within the first and second messages is analyzed to determine that at least a portion of content is common to the first and second electronic messages. Based upon the content analysis, an indication that the first and second messages include common content is provided to the user. Alternatively or additionally, an indication that two users are in physical proximity to a geographic location may be provided in response to detecting that the two users are within a threshold distance from the geographic location.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2012Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Assignee: FACEBOOK, INC.Inventors: Jennifer Granito, Steve Greenberg, Andy Wick, Tom Jarmolowski, Alan Keister, Jeremy Rephlo

Publication number: 20120210296Abstract: An application builder tool creates business applications from user provided business descriptions. The application builder is customized using metadata and the metadata may be extended. The metadata provides a set of business terms to the user and the information required to generate an application from those terms. The user either selects terms from the list or enters new business terms to describe the business problem they want the application to automate. The application builder analyzes the terms the user provides and uses the metadata associated with those terms to select, generate and combine business application components. The result is a functioning business application.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2011Publication date: August 16, 2012Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Mark Boulter, Greg Lindhorst, Erik Kennedy, Todd Haugen, Steve Greenberg, Ryan McMinn, Wesley Hodgson, Krunal Sheth

Patent number: 5798726Abstract: Air traffic surveillance and communication system for air traffic controllers includes a plurality of ground based first digital radio transceivers, each first digital radio transceiver being located in specific geographic sectors, respectively, and having a first frequency channel for supporting party-line digital voice, and a second frequency channel dedicated to supporting a digital data channel for down-linking dependent surveillance data and for both up-link and down-link data communications. The first and second frequency channels are paired such that each time a frequency change is commanded by the ground both the first and second frequency channels will be automatically tuned to a new air-ground frequency pair.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 1997Date of Patent: August 25, 1998Assignee: Stanford Telecommunications, Inc.Inventors: Leonard Schuchman, Ronald Bruno, John Kefaliotis, Steve Greenberg, Edward J.

Patent number: 4365300Abstract: A method and apparatus for vector machine control of a tool and a workpiece so as to perform desired electric discharge machine (EDM) operations on the workpiece in accordance with a polar coordinate frame of reference. The method for vector machine control calls for the processing of input data to derive vector magnitude data, vector angle data and Z-axis data. The tool is advanced in the direction of the Z-axis by a given amount to an offset position, and the tool is then successively advanced and withdrawn in the direction of a given vector angle (corresponding to the vector angle data) by a corresponding distance (corresponding to the vector magnitude data). The procedure may be repeated for successive vector angles and magnitudes, and may be further repeated at other offset positions in accordance with other vector angle and vector magnitude data.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 1980Date of Patent: December 21, 1982Assignee: Eltee PulsitronInventors: Lars Johanson, Phil Haft, Frank Bonavita, George Feldstein, Steve Greenberg, Kevin Brady
