Abstract: System and methods for directing a federated search using a location description file to locate a data source are provided. For a federated search, a location description may be used to describe the location of each data source searched, and may further be used to connect the user to that particular data source. The format of such a location description file may include several elements, some of which provide information on how to display the file (e.g., name, description, author, icon link, etc.) and other elements (e.g., simple location, location type, etc.) are used to connect the user to the location of the data source.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a schema to describe the structure of a data store that may be used to query the data store. The schema may include a property description describing static and contextual attributes of a property of the data store. The schema may also include a property reference describing contextual attributes of a property of the data store, while referencing static attributes from a property description in another schema. In some instances, the schema may further describe item types and/or kinds for the data store.

Abstract: A personal mobility vehicle (PMV) is provided having suspension assemblies located on lateral sides thereof. The suspension assemblies each include a main pivot arm having first and second main-arm-ends, an intermediate portion, and a first wheel connected to the first main-arm-end. The intermediate portion is pivotally connected to one of the lateral sides, with the first main-arm-end and first wheel extending in a first direction from the vehicle frame. A center drive wheel is located on the second main-arm-end of the main pivot arm. A wheel support arm having first and second support-arm-ends and a second wheel connected to the second support arm end is pivotally connected to one of the lateral sides. The first support-arm-end is slidably engaged with the main pivot arm, and the second support-arm-end and the second wheel extend in a second direction, generally opposite the first direction.

Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, in an emergency situation, if a cell phone or a similar device is unable to communicate with a cell tower or other base station, the cell phone or similar device may enter into a beacon mode and transmit a beacon signal. The beacon signal may be utilized to help locate the user of the cell phone or similar device.
