  • Publication number: 20240015636
    Abstract: Technologies disclosed herein are directed to context-based mobile device management. According to one embodiment, an application executing in a mobile device detects an event to trigger context-based management of the mobile device. A usage context associated with the mobile device is determined. One or more policies to enforce on the mobile device are identified as a function of the usage context. The application enforces the one or more policies on the mobile device.

  • Publication number: 20240015489
    Abstract: Technologies disclosed herein are directed to enforcing blocking functionality on a mobile device (e.g., a mobile device within a vehicle). The mobile device receives a request to disable a blocking of a user interaction with one or more functions of the mobile device. The mobile device prompts a capture of an image by a camera of the mobile device. The mobile device determines whether the image is captured from a passenger space in the vehicle. Once so determined, the mobile device disables the blocking of the user interaction with the one or more functions of the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 11865385
    Abstract: A fire suppression system includes a feed port and a channel to couple the feed port to an actuation chamber. A solenoid valve controllably blocks a connection between the feed port and the channel. Pressure from the feed port builds up in the actuation chamber based on the solenoid valve unblocking the connection. A piston is in communication with the actuation chamber. The system also includes an inlet port closed off by a disc. The piston travels through the inlet port and burst the disc based on the pressure in the actuation chamber. An outlet port is coupled to the inlet port.

  • Patent number: 11856505
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for managing predetermined functions on a mobile device, the operating system (OS) installed on the device including an event application programming interface (API) configured to enable voice over internet protocol (VoIP) applications to assume priority over other applications and functions of the mobile device when VoIP calls are detected. A mobile device management software application installed and running on the mobile device emulates a VoIP software application and uses event API calls to trick the OS into believing that a VoIP call has been detected and, in response, causes the OS to block or interfere with one or more predetermined functions on the mobile device based on the status and location of the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 11823585
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for designing a user-specific writing skill game is provided. The computer-implemented method comprises tracking a handwriting performance and generating a digital representation of the handwriting performance. The handwriting performance is performed by a user with a writing instrument. The method further comprises identifying user-specific handwriting skills which require improvement based on the digital representation of the handwriting performance. Then a writing skill game is designed. The writing skill game is designed to include one or more game tasks to be performed by the user. The one or more game tasks require the user to apply the user-specific handwriting skills which are to be improved.

  • Patent number: 11807680
    Abstract: This invention relates to crystals of the human Gremlin-1 protein, and the human Gremlin-1 protein in complex with an inhibitory antibody. The invention also relates to the structure of human Gremlin-1 (on its own, or in complex with the antibody) and uses of these structures in screening for agents which modulate Gremlin-1 activity. The invention further provides antibodies which bind an allosteric inhibitory site on Gremlin-1, together with pharmaceutical compositions and medical uses of such antibodies and agents identified by the screening methods.

  • Patent number: 11810712
    Abstract: Described herein are concepts, system and techniques which provide a means to construct robust high-field superconducting magnets using simple fabrication techniques and modular components that scale well toward commercialization. The resulting magnet assembly—which utilizes non-insulated, high temperature superconducting tapes (HTS) and provides for optimized coolant pathways—is inherently strong structurally, which enables maximum utilization of the high magnetic fields available with HTS technology. In addition, the concepts described herein provide for control of quench-induced current distributions within the tape stack and surrounding superstructure to safely dissipate quench energy, while at the same time obtaining acceptable magnet charge time. The net result is a structurally and thermally robust, high-field magnet assembly that is passively protected against quench fault conditions.

  • Patent number: 11734288
    Abstract: A management server obtains rating information indicating a second user's rating of a dish or restaurant, generates a first evaluation value of the first user's sense of taste based on a measurement test regarding the sense of taste, and generates a second evaluation value of the second user's sense of taste based on a measurement test regarding the sense of taste. One search filter for filtering dishes or restaurants based on rating results of the dishes or the restaurants rated by a second user who has a sense-of-taste characteristic similar to that of the first user is provided on a dish search screen. When the first user uses the search filter to filter dishes or restaurants, and when a first difference between the first and second evaluation values is in a first predetermined range, the second user's rating results are used to filter the dishes or the restaurant.

  • Patent number: 11720578
    Abstract: A management server obtains first data indicating an input value in a measurement test regarding a user's sense of taste, obtains rating information indicating the user's rating of a dish or a restaurant, generates an evaluation value of the user's sense of taste based on the first data. One search filter for filtering dishes or restaurants by using rating results of dishes or restaurants rated by sense-of-taste top scorers is provided on a dish search screen. When the evaluation value of the user's sense of taste satisfies a certain condition for the sense-of-taste top scorers, the rating information indicating the user's rating of the dish or the restaurant is included in the rating results of the dishes or restaurants rated by the sense-of-taste top scorers.
