  • Patent number: 11700137
    Abstract: A system is described for collaborative access to a virtual desktop through separate remote client devices. An owner of the virtual desktop can initiate a session with the virtual desktop through a client on her client device. The owner can request through her client to create a collaborative session, identifying one or more collaborators. Links for joining the virtual desktop can be generated and an invitation can be sent to each collaborator. A collaborator can accept the invitation and a client application can be launched on the collaborator's client and routed to the virtual desktop. Once authorized, collaborators can be connected to the virtual desktop session. Each collaborator in the session may view the GUI of the virtual desktop in her client application. Input control can be managed and delegated to collaborators by the owner of the session.

  • Patent number: 11467717
    Abstract: Techniques for optimizing window resize actions for a remoted application are provided, where the remoted application has a server-side window running within a remote desktop of a server system, and where the server-side window is made accessible to a user of a client system as a client-side window displayed in a client desktop of the client system. In one embodiment, the client system can receive from the server system a notification that the server-side window is being resized in the remote desktop, and can determine that the user is currently entering one or more input commands for resizing the server-side window. In response, the client system can send a message to the server system for canceling the resizing of the server-side window. The client system can then allow the user to resize the client-side window via the one or more input commands, while the server-side window remains a fixed size.

  • Patent number: 11085450
    Abstract: A pump includes a housing including a first portion thereof defining opposed parallel spaced apart internal and exterior generally planar surfaces. The pump also includes a first impeller rotatably secured to the housing and positioned within the housing. The pump also includes a first axial flux motor connected to the first impeller and at least partially positioned within the housing. The first axial flux motor includes a first motor rotor fixedly secured to the first impeller. The first motor rotor has a generally planar surface thereof positioned adjacent to and parallel to the internal generally planar surface of the first portion of the housing. The first axial flux motor includes a first motor stator fixedly secured to the housing. The first motor stator has a generally planar surface thereof positioned adjacent to and parallel to the external generally planar surface of the first portion of the housing.

  • Patent number: 10990259
    Abstract: Techniques for optimizing window move actions for a remoted application are provided, where the remoted application has an application window running within a remote desktop of a server system, and where the application window is made accessible to a user of a client system in the form of a client-side application window displayed in a client desktop of the client system. In one embodiment, the client system can receive from the server system a notification that the application window has begun moving in the remote desktop, and can determine that the user is currently entering one or more input commands for moving the client-side application window in the client desktop. The client system can further send a command to the server system for stopping the movement of the application window in the remote desktop, such that the application window is fixed in a stationary position.

  • Patent number: 10986215
    Abstract: An approach for accessing one or more resources at a virtualized desktop infrastructure (VDI) client running on a client device by a remote virtual machine (VM) is provided. The method includes intercepting, via a VDI agent, a request to access one or more resources at the client device, transferring the request from the remote VM to the client device via a network redirector protocol, and filtering the request to determine if the request complies with one or more rules. For a first resource of the one or more resources, if the request does not comply with any one of one or more first rules of the one or more rules, access to the first resource is denied. If the request complies with the one or more first rules, access to the first resource is granted and a response is sent to the VDI agent via the network redirector protocol.

  • Patent number: 9516020
    Abstract: Image scanning and encoding technologies can be utilized to authenticate devices to virtual desktops and to transfer virtual desktop sessions between devices. One device (e.g., PC or laptop) may encode certain information into an image that is displayed on a display screen, while another mobile device equipped with a digital camera (e.g., mobile phone or tablet) can be used to scan the image on the display screen. Once the image is scanned, it can be decoded by the mobile device to get the information encoded in the image (e.g., device ID, session ID, etc.). The information obtained from the image can be used to authenticate a device or to transfer a virtual desktop session between the devices.
