  • Patent number: 11528447
    Abstract: A video messaging system facilitates a video messaging session between a client device and a remote device. A remote device provides information (e.g., a link) to a client device for connecting to a video messaging session. The client device uses the provided information to connect to the video messaging session between the client device and the remote device. The video messaging session generally includes two-way communication, with at least video information being transmitted by the client device to the remote device, and instructions describing video operations being transmitted by the remote device to the client device. The video operations may include annotating the video, rewinding the video, pausing the video, and various other modifications to the video. The video messaging system may mirror operations performed on one device (e.g., the remote device) on the other device (e.g., the client device) in the video messaging session.

  • Patent number: 10867117
    Abstract: Portions of document contents are separated into individually controlled sections on a user interface of a smaller size client device display. A document viewed on a mobile device may include different content portions such as textual content, tables, slides and graphics. Due to a smaller user interface of the mobile device, some portions of the content may extend outside of the user interface and may not all be visible at the same time. The user may use gestures to scroll through and resize the document to view all of the contents. The system may separate each of the different content portions into individual sections and enable the user to control each section separately, such that the user may navigate, resize, and reposition each individual section without affecting the size and position of the remaining sections of the document for optimally viewing the document on the user interface.

  • Patent number: 10356173
    Abstract: A set of runspaces with active connections are maintained in a pool. A set of timers are set and, based upon the timers, simple commands are submitted through the runspaces, to maintain the connections in an active state. The runspaces with the active connections can then be used from the cache, without having to open a new connection.

  • Patent number: 8246817
    Abstract: A novel deionization filter for removing ions from a coolant in an electric fuel cell vehicle cooling system is disclosed. The deionization filter includes a filter housing having a coolant inlet port, through which the coolant enters the filter housing; and a coolant outlet port, through which the coolant exits the filter housing. An ion exchange bed having positively-charged and negatively-charged ion exchange resin beads is provided in the filter housing for removing negative and positive ions, respectively, from the coolant. At least one filter assembly is typically provided in the filter housing for filtering particles from the coolant.

  • Patent number: 8112103
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to methods, systems, and computer-readable media for mobile device messaging. Mobile device messaging comprises collecting from an originating system information including content data to be sent to the mobile device. One or more short messages are generating for encapsulating the content data. The one or more short messages are formatted to be readable by a web service and the content data is formatted to be readable by the mobile device. The one or more short messages are sent to the web service for delivery to the mobile device.

  • Publication number: 20100088121
    Abstract: A system for reporting medical information to healthcare provider users may require users to acknowledge receipt of information. Information may be sent using a secure instant messaging (SIM) protocol, and users may acknowledge receipt, e.g., by sending a message, or clicking on a uniform resource locator (URL) or button included in the information. Unacknowledged information may be re-sent at designated time intervals, and may have different levels of urgency indicated in the message. Acknowledgement may be tracked by the system, e.g., by recording the user and timestamp of acknowledgement. Feeds or syndications (e.g., RSS, RDF, Atom, etc.) may be used to provide medical information, allowing users to subscribe to feeds for one or more patients. Feeds may be continuously aggregated and updated with the most recent information for each of the patients.

  • Patent number: 7655098
    Abstract: A flush and fill process is used to ready a fuel cell cooling circuit for initial use. An external flushing system releasably connected to the cooling circuit circulates flushing coolant through the cooling circuit to remove contaminants from the wetted surfaces of the cooling circuit before the fuel cell is put into use. The flushing system includes a pump for circulating the flushing coolant through the cooling circuit, filters for removing contaminants from the coolant and a heater for elevating the temperature of the coolant. Following the flushing process to remove contaminants, the flushing system is disconnected from the cooling circuit and the cooling circuit is filled with fresh coolant.

  • Patent number: 7445705
    Abstract: A particle filter for a fuel cell coolant is disclosed. The particle filter includes a filter housing having an upstream end for receiving the coolant and a downstream end for discharging the coolant. A filter element is provided in the filter housing. A pressure gauge is operably connected to the upstream end of the filter housing for measuring and indicating a pressure of the coolant corresponding to a degree of blockage of the filter element.
