Publication number: 20210349615Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems, and corresponding computer-readable media and methods for resizing a graphical user interface. For instance, the systems described herein detect a user selection of an object within a graphical user interface, segment the user selection into quadrants, and move the quadrants to resize the selected object based on the user input. The systems further place a pivot point within the selected object to partition the object into the quadrants. The systems detect movement of one or more selected edges and move the quadrants together with movement of the one or more selected edges to resize the selected object.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2021Publication date: November 11, 2021Inventors: William Thomas Ruby, Danielle T.

Patent number: 10802664Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for facilitating layout designs. In embodiments, an input event is detected indicating a desire to include a new object within a layout design including a first component. Thereafter, it is determined that the first component within the layout is to be modified to accommodate a second component containing the new object. The layout design is automatically modified to include the first component and the second component in the layout design.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2017Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: William Thomas Ruby, Michael Spencer Cragg, Danielle Takara Morimoto

Patent number: 9861272Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods for laparoscopic abdominal surgery are disclosed. For example, a system or kit is provided for performing a procedure within a surgical space within a patient's body that includes a plurality of tool heads, and a tool head carrier including features for removably receiving one or more tool heads, the tool head carrier sized for introduction through a trocar or other port into a surgical space. The system or kit may also include a surgical tool including a tool shaft introduceable into the surgical space and including features for securing a tool head to the tool. Optionally, the tool head carrier may include a clip for securing the tool head carrier to an endoscope.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2013Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Assignee: THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE LELAND STANDFORD JUNIOR UNIVERSITYInventors: Christopher Steven Pell, Bryan J.

Publication number: 20160287232Abstract: A system and method for abdominal surgery is disclosed. The system can have one or more end effectors that can be attached to an introducer and/or tray and inserted into the abdomen through a large puncture through the patient's umbilicus. The end effector can have a surgical tool, such as a grasper. The system can have a manipulatable control arm that can be inserted into the abdomen through a small puncture through the patient's body wall. The end effector can be attached to the control arm and simultaneously or concurrently detached from the introducer or tray. The control arm can then manipulate the end effector to perform the surgery.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2016Publication date: October 6, 2016Inventors: Kevin Zi Jun Chao, John Avi Roop, Greg Magee, Ronald Jou, Reuben Brewer, Christopher Steven Pell, Bryan J. Duggan, Zhi Chen Dong, Thomas Ruby
