Patent number: 10809956Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for presenting supplemental content items on a user device while requested additional content is obtained. For example, a user is presented with a content item, such as an image, an advertisement, etc., on a display of a user device. The content item, when interacted with by the user, results in a request for additional content, such as a web page, being sent to a remote computing resource, the additional content item being received by the user device from the remote computing resource, loaded by the user device, and presented to the user on the display of the user device. Rather than presenting the user with a blank screen, an empty window, a “loading” notification (e.g., spinning icon), etc.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2016Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: Pinterest, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Craig Bragdon, Justin Velo, Shahrouz Tavakoli, Wendy Lin Lu, Mengya You, Yunnan Wu, Vivian Clara Chow, Mehrdad Bidgoli, Raphael Grignani, Nipoon Malhotra, Harsh Goel

Patent number: 10323456Abstract: An awning adjustment device with variable speed and direction control serves to automatically open and close eclectic types of awnings by way of an elongated rod terminating at a hook. The hook detachably couples to an awning handle or crank mechanism. A motor powers the rod, so as to rotate the rod in variable speeds, directions, and durations. The rotational speed of the rod is either controlled by a user, or controlled by a rotation counter to variably increase or decrease the rotation of the rod, so as to prevent damaging the awning by rotating too fast. The control portion comprises a power on switch, a power off switch, a pause switch, a directional switch, and a speed switch. The motor operatively couples to at least one electrical power source through a power cord, or a battery to receive electrical power for operating the device.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2017Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Inventor: Wendy Lin
