Patent number: 11948261Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for generating variations of an object. In various implementations, a device includes a display, a non-transitory memory and one or more processors coupled with the display and the non-transitory memory. In some implementations, a method includes obtaining a request to populate an environment with variations of an object characterized by at least one visual property. In some implementations, the method includes generating the variations of the object by assigning corresponding values for the at least one visual property based on one or more distribution criterion. In some implementations, the method includes displaying the variations of the object in the setting in order to satisfy a presentation criterion.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2023Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Stuart Harl Ferguson, Richard Ignatius Punsal Lozada, James Graham McCarter

Patent number: 10019734Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to flexible, user-adapted, continuous searching, on behalf of a particular user, for points of interest relevant to the user's current location within a specifically computed personal region of interest. In a general case, the personal region of interest is computed as a function of the user's level of disposition towards the searched-for points of interest. The level of disposition towards the searched-for points of interest may, in turn, be based on two or more of the user's location, the current date and time, a history of the user's interaction with the POI-searching system, including user-initiated searches and user selections from displayed search results, a user profile developed for, and continuously updated on behalf of, the user, and a current context for the search, as specified by a search query or by other context-specifying means.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2014Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: Vulcan Inc.Inventors: John Chu, Robert Arnold, Mark Malleck, Stuart Graham, Jeremy Calvert, Dennis Schneider

Patent number: 8298173Abstract: A method of producing a particle cassette for a needleless syringe device which alleviates problems of providing a chamber for the confinement of particles which is hermetically sealed from the environment. A predetermined force is applied in the longitudinal direction to push first and second cassette parts together so as to cause plastic deformation of a portion of the first cassette part so as to create said hermetically sealed chamber. The cassette parts are preferably made of PETG and have bonded thereto rupturable membranes preferably made of PET. The sealing is preferably achieved at the end of a protrusion on the first cassette part which is tapered and which interacts with the membrane of the second cassette part.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2007Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Inventors: Nigel Robert Bates, Philip Thomas Price, John Watson, Stuart Graham Weekes

Publication number: 20120082764Abstract: A reclosable film structure for a package is disclosed, in particular a reclosable lap seal, comprising a multiple layer film with an interior pressure sensitive adhesive layer, and methods of manufacture thereof. The pressure sensitive adhesive layer is positioned between a first and a third layer on either side of the pressure sensitive adhesive layer and is continuous throughout the package. The package is heat sealed at an open end to initially close the package by folding over an outer lap seal segment onto an inner lap seal segment and heat-sealing together. Upon opening the package at the lap seal, the package delaminates between the first and second layers along one of the lap seal segments, thus exposing the pressure sensitive adhesive layer to facilitate reclosing the package, oriented away from the package interior and away from the food removal path to maintain the adhesion strength by avoiding food contact.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2011Publication date: April 5, 2012Applicant: Kraft Foods Global Brands LLCInventor: Stuart Graham Paterson
