Patent number: 9667700Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for detecting documents within content received by a computing device. A computing device can receive content through an application. The received content is scanned to determine if it includes a file type indicating that it includes a redeemable document. A notification is presented to the user when a document has been detected within the content including a button enabling rendering of the document on the computing device. The rendered document can include a button to transmit the document to secondary computing devices associated with the user. A user profile associated with the user can include data indicating secondary computing devices associated with the user. The user profile can be accessed to retrieve the data and, if the button is selected, the document can be transmitted to the secondary computing devices from which the user can render the document.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2012Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Daniel I. Feldman, James C. Wilson, Chanaka G. Karunamuni

Publication number: 20160360412Abstract: Disclosed herein is a technique for migrating data between a first device and a second device via a private wireless network hosted by the first device. According to some embodiments, the private wireless network is established based on a code generated by the first device. The second device derives wireless network parameters associated with the private wireless network and connects to the private wireless network. In turn, the data migration can commence when a connection between the first device and the second device has been established.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2015Publication date: December 8, 2016Inventors: James C.

Publication number: 20160359848Abstract: The embodiments set forth systems and techniques to authenticate a user device for device services, such as by transferring or extending a trusted device status from a separate and trusted associated user device, which can be paired with the user device. This can be done automatically without requiring the user to sign in at or on behalf of the user device, and the automated process can include verifying a trusted status for the associated user device, receiving data items from both devices, evaluating the data items, and facilitating an authentication of the user device when the evaluating returns a favorable result. Data items can include provisioned machine identifiers, temporally limited one-time user passwords, and a provisioned password reset key. Authentication or trusted device status transfer can be achieved by way of an authentication token that is given to the user device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2016Publication date: December 8, 2016Inventors: James C. WILSON, Lestat ALI, Aniwat ARROMRATANA

Publication number: 20160047728Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include aerosol impactors comprising one or more micromechanical resonators. Impactors according to embodiments of the invention can provide size classification and/or concentration of aerosol particulate. Aerosol impactors can use an air flow device, such as a pump, to create a constant flow of air. Nozzles of varying diameters are used to separate particulate of varying sizes and the particles that pass through strike a measuring device. MEMS resonators can be integrated into arrays to provide mass sensitivity in a small, lightweight and cost effective package, which will effectively allow for the measurement of the mass of every micro/nanoscale particle landing on the surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2014Publication date: February 18, 2016Inventors: James C. Wilson, Siavash Pourkamali Anaraki

Publication number: 20150347769Abstract: To perform a restricted action, such as access a restricted content item, a subordinate user account can transmit a permission request to an authorizing user account. The permission request can request authorization from the authorizing user account to perform the restricted action. The permission request can be transmitted to one or more client devices of the authorizing user account, and enable to the authorizing user account to remotely select to approve or deny the permission request, thereby either granting or denying the subordinate user account from performing the restricted action. In addition to approving or denying a permission request, an authorizing user account can also be enabled to ignore a permission request, thereby allowing the authorizing user account to respond to the permission request at a later time. Further, in some embodiments, an authorizing user account can select to deny all further permission requests to perform the restricted action.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2014Publication date: December 3, 2015Inventors: Christopher D. Espinosa, Christopher John Sanders, David L. Neumann, Gregory Quirk, James C. Wilson, Maria D. Ioveva, Michael Chu

Patent number: 8015366Abstract: A method for communicating between nodes of a plurality of nodes is disclosed. Each node includes a plurality of processors and an interconnect chipset. The method issues a request for data from a processor in a first node and passes the request for data to other nodes through an expansion port (or scalability port). The method also starts an access of a memory in response to the request for data and snoops a processor cache of each processor in each node. The method accordingly identifies the location of the data in either the processor cache or memory in the node having the processor issuing the request or in a processor cache or memory of another node.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2008Date of Patent: September 6, 2011Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: James C.

Patent number: 6596441Abstract: An electrochemical cell (1) comprises an anode (2), a solid cathode (3) and an electrolyte (4). The electrolyte comprises an electrochemically reactive conductive salt, an organic liquid phase comprising one or more organic compounds; and less than 0.25 M of all ionically charged additive, distinct from the electrochemically reactive conductive salt. The additive comprises a conductive salt which in use is not electrochemically reactive and which has a nitrogen containing cation in a sufficient quantity that conductivity is improved and percentage material utilisation of the cathode is improved at increased discharge rates as compared with a cell using an electrolyte which does not contain the additive. An improvement of approximately 10% in conductivity is achieved for a cell according to the invention using an electrolyte (c) with an additive.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2000Date of Patent: July 22, 2003Assignee: Qinetiq LimitedInventors: Kevin J Green, James C Wilson, Susan J Howe, Philip N Barnes

Publication number: 20020108387Abstract: An all electric transport refrigeration system receives its compressor electric drive motor power and all other electrical power from a single on-board engine driven permanent magnet generator. A dual winding three phase electric motor powers the compressor. The incorporation of the dual winding three phase electric motor energizing system in the transport refrigeration system results in a system that can use a smaller generator while at the same time achieves the start up torque necessary to operate the compressor. This is due to the activation of each one of the dual windings with respect to one another, which utilizes start up motor torque to an advantage.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2001Publication date: August 15, 2002Applicant: Carrier CorporationInventors: Kenneth B.

Publication number: 20020108388Abstract: An all electric transport refrigeration system receives its compressor drive motor power and all other electrical power from a single on-board engine driven non-synchronous power system consisting of an engine driven synchronous generator. The generator is able to power refrigeration system electrical components at varying predetermined controlled output frequencies that are regulated by an electronic control system and independent of engine speed and generator output frequencies. The incorporation of the non-synchronous power system in the transport refrigeration system results in a system that meets space limitations while at the same time flexibly achieves the desired system performance.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2001Publication date: August 15, 2002Applicant: Carrier CorporationInventors: James C.
