Abstract: Techniques facilitating write-only device state inferences. In one example, a system can comprise a processor that executes computer executable components stored in memory. The computer executable components comprise: a monitor component; and a state component. The monitor component can compare a property of a feedback signal output by a write-only device with a reference signal. The state component can determine a state of the write-only device based on a comparison between the property and the reference signal.

Abstract: A screen protector installation tool includes a first portion, a second portion, and an elastic element. The first portion and the second portion each have corner alignment features.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides economical and scalable (e.g., high-throughput) methods of determining an HDL-PL level in a sample from a subject, and methods of treating a subject comprising determining an HDL-PL level in a sample from the subject.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for providing content to a user. The method includes using sensor data from multiple sensors associated with the user to determine a trigger event, determining content associated with the trigger event, and causing the content to be presented to the user. A trigger rule is created which defines the trigger event, representing when content is to be presented. A number of different types of event criteria may be defined such as position event criteria, movement event criteria, timing or duration criteria, time and/or date criteria, heart rate criteria, or the like, allowing each of the event criteria to be associated with a respective type of sensor. Also disclosed is a method and apparatus for charging for providing content to a user.

In a second mode, the apparatus is operable to (c) process video data which have been recorded during the previous execution of the program, to allow a visualization of the execution of that program; and (d) allow a user, at any frame of the sequence of video data frames, to change the mode to the first mode and to obtain from the video data the state of the corresponding execution frame of the program.

Abstract: An electronic system having a spread spectrum clock is disclosed. A spread spectrum clock source creates and transmits both a spread spectrum clock signal and a modulation signal. A spread spectrum clock generator uses a modulation waveform on the modulation signal to frequency modulate a reference oscillator frequency. A logic unit comprises a Phase Locked Loop that receives the spread spectrum clock signal and the modulation signal and generates a logic unit clock signal.

Abstract: A 3-way blind system for windows comprising an upper frame with: internal gearing; internal roller assemblies; a cord system; an upper and lower slat module comprising rotatably-alignable slats; an upper-housing; and a lower valence. The upper and lower slat modules operate either independently or in cooperation depending on the position of the selector to open the upper slat module to allow ambient light entrance and close the lower module for privacy, or to open the lower slat module for visibility and close the upper to limit bright ambient light from entering through the window. A third selector position may cause an internal gearset to work in unison to open or close all modules simultaneously.
