  • Publication number: 20240166118
    Abstract: A kitchen module for a vehicle includes a frame system for providing structural support, a rail system affixed to the frame system and the vehicle, and a plurality of kitchen components mounted to the frame system. The rail system is configured to allow the frame system to move relative to the vehicle. The plurality of kitchen components include a sink, a potable water tank, a waste-water tank, a rangetop, at least one drawer, a countertop, lights, any other suitable component, or any combination thereof. The vehicle, which may be an electric vehicle having a battery module, can include an electrical extension connecting an electric power source of the vehicle to the kitchen module. The electrical extension may be coupled to at least one of an actuator of the rail system and a rangetop.

  • Patent number: 9507650
    Abstract: In one or more embodiments, an application program interface (API) is provided and enables an entity, such as an application, script, or other computing object to register to receive callbacks immediately and, without specifying a time constraint. In this approach, the API does not rely on a timer, such as a system timer. Rather, a non-timer based queue, such as a message queue-type approach is utilized. Specifically, callbacks that are registered through this API can be placed on the message queue and work associated with the registered callback can be performed through the normal course of processing messages and events in the message queue. Over time, such results in a callback pattern that allows an associated web browser and applications such as web applications to remain responsive, while increasing performance and power efficiencies.

  • Patent number: 9449113
    Abstract: Browser storage management techniques are described. In one or more implementations, inputs are received at a computing device that specify maximum aggregate sizes of application and database caches, respectively, of browser storage to be used to locally store data at the computing device. For example, the inputs may be provided using a policy, by an administrator of the computing device, and so on. The maximum aggregate sizes are set of application and database caches, respectively, of browser storage at the computing device to the sizes specified by the inputs.

  • Publication number: 20160212252
    Abstract: An antimicrobial cell phone casing for preventing the accumulation of microbes on and the spread of microbes from the surface of a mobile device. The adjustable antimicrobial cell phone casing defines a rectangular plastic bag style housing having an exterior surface covered with the conventional antimicrobial film coating, either a reclosable top opening or a reclosable side opening, a set of top sound holes, and a set of bottom holes. Both the reclosable top opening and a reclosable side opening define press-to-seal zipper strips. The top sound holes define a set of holes disposed in each top corner of the plastic housing, while the bottom holes define a set of holes disposed in the middle of the bottom of the plastic housing.

  • Patent number: 8884970
    Abstract: Various embodiments align callbacks to a scripting component that enable the scripting component to update animation, with a system's refresh notifications. Specifically, an application program interface (API) is provided and implemented in a manner that generates and issues a callback to the scripting component when the system receives a refresh notification. This provides the scripting component with a desirable amount of time to run before the next refresh notification.

  • Publication number: 20130219383
    Abstract: Various embodiments enable installable applications that are to be used on a local client machine to utilize an application cache manifest file that resides remotely, on the web, to define various resources that are to be updated and available offline after the installable application has been deployed on the local client machine Whenever the content of the manifest file is updated on the web, the installed application automatically updates its local application cache resources and allows the installed application to use those resources offline. This is done without having to install a new update of the application or burden the user with having to navigate to a location to obtain the updated content.
