  • Patent number: 9953612
    Abstract: Certain embodiments herein may include systems and methods for facilitating communication between mobile devices and display devices. According to certain embodiments, various types of connections may be established for communication between mobile devices and display devices. The type of connection may be based on numerous factors, including networks accessible to the mobile devices and display devices, capabilities of the mobile devices and display devices, and requirements associated with a software application running on a display device or on a device associated with the display device. Example connection types may involve a server intermediary which may establish a communication connection and proxy or relay content between mobile devices and display devices. Other connection types may not involve a server intermediary, for example, when a mobile device interacts with a display device to control a real-time game application.

  • Patent number: 4399101
    Abstract: A stopped-flow apparatus is disclosed which includes one or a pair of flow systems mounted in separate thermostatically controlled baths and actuated by a single driving system thus permitting differential rate of determinations. The reaction or observation cell is easily changed to modify the apparatus without the necessity of changing the entire flow system. This is accomplished by screw threaded connection to the cell so that a variety of different cells can be inserted readily and easily into the thermostatically controlled bath. Stopping is accomplished by means of an adjustable block system on the main driving system or by a stopping syringe operatively connected to the cell. Efficient mixing is accomplished in a mixing chamber screw threadably secured to the cell and utilizing a double bifurcated feed block.
