Patent number: 11763699Abstract: Various examples described herein are directed to systems, methods, and computer-readable medium for providing a tactile response. A document that includes visual data is received. Change data for the visual data that indicates changes in data values of the visual data from a previous time is received. The visual data is rendered. An indication that a section of the document is selected is received. The section includes a first visual data. A change of the first visual data is determined front the change data. A tactile response unit is controlled to provide a tactile response based on the change of the first visual data.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2022Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Dennis Wayne Bland, November Michelle Champion, Beth Erin Csengody, Wendi M.

Patent number: 11734764Abstract: Various examples are directed to systems and methods for interfacing between a user and a computing device. The computing device may receive data describing a projected periodic savings amount and first expense data describing a first expense of the user. The first expense data may indicate an amount of the first expense and a first expense time when the first expense will be incurred. The computing device may display a graphical user interface at a display. The graphical user interface may comprise a savings shape having a size based at least in part on the projected periodic savings amount and a first expense shape having a size based at least in part on the first amount. The computing device may receive an instruction to place the first expense shape in the savings shape and may determine that the projected periodic savings amount is sufficient to fund the first expense at the first time.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2021Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Jeffrey Thomas Simpson, Matthew Fitzroy Lynch, Kyle Patrick Mitchell, Amir Zelazny, Brooks Gallagher LeComte, Faith Maria Lane, Derrek Ramon Turner, Daniel Gracey

Patent number: 9420900Abstract: An inventory rack system and a mobile inventory rack apparatus are disclosed. The mobile inventory rack apparatus includes an inventory conveyor configured to translate articles of inventory and a receiving system including a requirement indicator disposed along the inventory conveyor. The requirement indicator has an inventory required state when not in contact with an article of inventory. The mobile inventory rack apparatus further includes a supply system including a pair of spaced stoppers disposed along the inventory conveyor. Each stopper has an extended position preventing translation of the articles of inventory and a retracted position allowing translation of the articles of inventory. The inventory conveyor is configured to receive at least one article of inventory when the requirement indicator is in the inventory required state and to allow removal of at least one article of inventory when one of the stoppers is in the retracted position.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2015Date of Patent: August 23, 2016Assignee: Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc.Inventors: Bradley Thomas Simpson, Robert Howard Bartholomew

Patent number: 7491003Abstract: This invention pertains to a method and apparatus for thermally developing a photosensitive element. The photosensitive element includes a composition layer capable of being partially liquefied upon heating. Heating the layer causes one or more organic compounds in the layer to form a vapor. Oxidation of the vapor forms carbon dioxide and water vapor and reduces the need to manage waste streams containing the organic compounds.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2006Date of Patent: February 17, 2009Assignee: E.I. du Pont de Nemours and CompanyInventors: Mark A.
