Abstract: Methods and systems for configuring a network are disclosed. An example method can comprise receiving a first token and an encryption key from a first device. A second token can be received from a second device. A determination can be made as to whether the first token matches the second token. Configuration information can be provided to the second device if the second token matches the first token. The configuration information can comprise information for connecting to a proxy configured on the first device. A request for content can be received from the proxy on behalf of the second device. The request for content can comprise the encryption key.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to defining and/or specifying an application programming interface (API) between a client and a computing device (such as a server) in a manner that the client, the computing device, or both, can evolve independently while preserving inter-operability.

Abstract: A manual device for massaging one or both of the upper and lower lids of the eye, the device comprising: a body, composed of flexible resilient biocompatible material, wherein the body provides jaws or lips, wherein the lips are biased into a spaced relationship by the material of the body, and wherein each lip is adapted to engage either the upper or lower eyelid, such that movement of the lips causes movement of at least one eyelid with respect to the other. The devices can conveniently be used to manipulate the meibomian glands of the eye in an optimum orientation, for example for alleviating or treating dry eye.

Abstract: A secure content delivery or access method may include coordination among three devices such as servers—a content management server, a delivery server, and an authorization server. A request for content may originate from an authorization server application, and may involve the application obtaining two digitally signed tokens for the request. The first token may be from the authorization server, and may include a content management server identifier for the requested content. The second token may include two identifiers for the content: the first identifier being the content management server identifier, and the second being a delivery server identifier. The first and second tokens may be signed by the authorization server and content management server, respectively, and may be delivered to the delivery server for validation. Successful validation may result in the delivery server providing a content decryption key for the requested content to a device requesting the content.

Abstract: A method and system may allow for converting an object model. For example, a computing device may receive an object model to be converted to a document that represents the object model. The computing device may be configured to traverse the object model and build a document (e.g., an XHTML document, XML document, etc.) that represents the object model. The document may comprise a series of tags that represent objects in the object model. The computing device may then provide the document as a part of a hypermedia API.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing device controls are disclosed. One method can comprise determining an orientation of a controller and comparing the orientation of the controller and an activation orientation. If the orientation of the controller substantially matches the activation orientation, a control relationship between the controller and the user device may be automatically activated, and if the orientation of the controller does not substantially match the activation orientation, control options to a user of the controller.

Abstract: A content network is presented where at least one of non-personalized data commonly applicable to a user base and personalized data is maintained. In an aspect, each element of the personalized data may be applicable to at least one, but less than all, of users within the user base. The non-personalized data may be stored across a plurality of servers included in a group, and the personalized data is stored across at least one, but less than all, of the plurality of computing devices included in the group. An update to data stored may be received and a determination made as to whether the update to data is to the non-personalized data or the personalized data. Then, one of the non-personalized data or the personalized data set stored in the server may be updated.

Abstract: A system and method for providing feedback to a user making a gesture for switching between at least two types of user interactions used to operate a digitizer system, the method comprising recognizing the gesture to switch between the types of user interactions, switching the type of user interaction used to operate the digitizer system, and providing feedback to the user indicating recognition of the gesture.

Abstract: The application relates to a method for operation of an active antenna array and to an active antenna system. The active antenna system has a signal processing unit and an active antenna array adapted to be operated with a main antenna pattern correlated to a main receive beam and with at least one test antenna pattern correlated to a test receive beam having an orientation different from the main receive beam. A main radio frequency signal is received based on the main antenna pattern and a test radio frequency signal is received based on the test antenna pattern. The main radio frequency signal comprises communications traffic. Performance of the main receive beam is assessed based on the main radio frequency signal and performance of the test receive beam is assessed based on the test radio frequency signal. The main antenna pattern is adjusted based on a comparison of the performance of the main receive beam and test receive beam.
