Patent number: 11983330Abstract: An electronic device, method, and computer program product for managing a content creation application are disclosed. A first device housing is pivotable relative to a second device housing between a closed position and an axially displaced open position. A first display panel and user interface are exposed when the first device housing and the second device housing are in the axially displaced open position. A second display panel is exposed both when the first device housing and the second device housing are in the closed position and when the first device housing and the second device housing are in the axially displaced open position. The first display panel displays a content creation application, which is mirrored onto the second display panel. A portion of the user interface is overlaid onto the content creation application on second display panel and receives user input to manage the content creation application.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2023Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: Motorola Mobility LLCInventors: Amit Kumar Agrawal, Bill Ryan, Jeffrey T. Snow, Daniel M Vacura

Patent number: 8279118Abstract: An exemplary aperiodic antenna array comprises a plurality of first elements radiating electromagnetic energy over a first bandwidth including a first frequency. Each of the first elements is spaced apart from a pattern center by an element distance and from the nearest first element by an element spacing in a regulated pattern. In the regulated pattern, the element spacing increases as the element distance increases. The plurality of first elements are configured to generate a first radiation pattern. The antenna array also comprises a second element positioned within a group of first elements from the plurality of first elements. Each element distance between the first elements in the group of first elements is greater than one-half of a first wavelength corresponding to the first frequency. The second element is configured to generate a second radiation pattern. The second radiation pattern combines with the first radiation pattern to form a composite radiation pattern.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2009Date of Patent: October 2, 2012Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventor: Jeffrey M. Snow
