Patent number: 11944927Abstract: The disclosure is directed toward presses which may comprise planar or curved press plates that can be driven toward and away from each other such as via linear reciprocating movement to press filter media sheets as opposed to using rolls. The press plates can create such features as embossments that may have the ridges and grooves, brands, creases or other such features. The press can create pleated packs or individual panels for non-pleated packs. Additionally, a variety of embossed pleat packs, unique shapes, structural components and other pleat packs that may be formed by presses or other methodology are disclosed as well as filter cartridges using such pleat packs.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: PARKER INTANGIBLES LLCInventors: Jason L Tate, Farrell F. Calcaterra, Thomas B. Green, Charles R. Wick, Ryan M. Pastrana, John Michlitsch

Patent number: 9671921Abstract: An object is associated with one or more controls in a software application. An object associated with a control determines the operation of the data entry user interface when the data entry user interface is being employed to enter data into the control. More particularly, the object may communicate interface e characteristics to a component that is responsible for providing the user interface to the user. Such a component may be, for example, a shared software module that renders the user interface on a display, receives input data from the user through the user interface, and routes the entered data to a designated destination. Alternately, the object itself may create a user interface having the specified characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2009Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: Zhigu Holdings LimitedInventors: Kyril Feldman, Robert L. Chambers, Steve Dodge, Takanobu Murayama, Tobias Zielinski, Todd A. Torset, Thomas R. Wick, Adrian J. Garside

Patent number: 7831922Abstract: A transparent graphical user interface that overlays the user interfaces of other applications. The transparent user interface receives handwriting input and displays handwriting objects represented by handwriting input received in the area of the transparent handwriting interface. The transparent user interface of the invention can be expanded to include most of the display area of a computer, thereby allowing the user to write anywhere within the display area. This also allows the user to write multiple lines of text. Additionally, because the user interface is transparent, it allows the user to see the underlying graphical user interfaces for other applications, including applications that receive text recognized from the handwriting input written into the transparent handwriting interface. Further the transparent interface allows the user to interact with underlying graphical user interfaces.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2006Date of Patent: November 9, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Luis M. Huapaya, Erik M. Geidl, Donald D. Karlov, Jeffrey W. Pettiross, Thomas R. Wick

Publication number: 20040225965Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for controlling the behavior of a data entry user interface, such as a data input panel, based upon the status of an insertion location. For example, both the position and content of a data input panel are provided based upon the detected characteristics of the insertion location. Further, a technique for invoking or dismissing a data entry user interface may be provided based upon the status of an insertion location.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2003Publication date: November 11, 2004Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Adrian J.
