  • Patent number: 9864754
    Abstract: Techniques presented herein provide an approach for sharing folders and files across devices. In one embodiment, folder redirection is employed to permit a device running a virtual infrastructure (VDI) client which connects to a remote agent to access folders and files shared by other devices. To enable such folder redirection, a folder redirection management module generates, for each shared folder, a redirection mapping that associates an original folder path with a uniform naming convention (UNC) scheme. When a device attempts to launch a remote desktop in a remote agent using the same username as that associated with other devices that share folders/files, the folder redirection management module transmits redirection mappings for those devices to the remote agent and opens permissions of the corresponding UNC schemes, the remote agent mounts the shared folders as virtual drives, and the shared folders are then accessible through folder redirection based on the redirection mappings.

  • Publication number: 20170346894
    Abstract: A method includes transmitting, from a virtual desktop client operating in a hypertext markup language (HTML) based browser application running on a client device to a remote virtual desktop agent on a server, a command to copy a file. In response to receiving the command to the copy the file, receiving, at the client device, a path from the remote virtual desktop agent, where the path is used to identify a location of the file to a web server. The method includes receiving, at the client device, a command from a user to paste the file. In response to this command, the method includes transmitting, from the virtual desktop client on the browser application on the client device, a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) command to the web server to retrieve the file. The method also includes receiving, at the client device, the file from the web server.

  • Patent number: 9710023
    Abstract: Perforated structures and methods for forming perforated structures are disclosed. The perforated structures include partial holes or blind-holes that pass partially through the substrate. The partial holes can be positioned proximate to through-holes that pass entirely through the substrate. The partial holes add mechanical strength to the perforated substrate. Described are methods for modifying the optical appearance of the partial holes such that the partial holes appear indistinguishable from the through-holes, which allows for flexibility in designing cosmetically appealing patterns within the perforated structures.

  • Publication number: 20170187387
    Abstract: System and methods for input path matching in pipelined continuous-time Analog-to Digital Converters (ADCs), including pipelined Continuous-Time Delta Sigma Modulator (CTDSM) based ADCs, includes an input delay circuit disposed in a continuous-time input path from an input of an analog input signal to a first summing circuit of the continuous-time ADC. At least one digital delay line is disposed between an output of an earlier stage sub-ADC (of a plurality of pipelined sub-ADCs) and a sub-digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that is coupled to the first summing circuit, and between the earlier stage sub-ADC and a digital noise cancellation filter. The digital delay line(s) is configured to enable calibration of delay of output of the earlier stage sub-ADC provided to the sub-DAC and the digital noise cancellation filter in accordance with process variations of the input delay match circuit to minimize residue output at first summing circuit.

  • Publication number: 20170094811
    Abstract: A housing for an electronic device that allows electromagnetic waves to pass through the housing is disclosed. The housing may include a first portion having an opening, a second portion positioned within the opening, and an insert including a protrusion extending into at least a portion of a gap formed between the first portion and the second portion. The housing also may include a first ink layer disposed within the gap and substantially surrounding the protrusion, and a second ink layer disposed within the gap and over the first ink. The first portion, second ink layer, and second portion may cooperate to form a substantially contiguous surface, and the second ink layer may be positioned approximately 5 microns (?m) or less below an exposed surface of the first portion and an exposed surface of the second portion.

  • Publication number: 20170028438
    Abstract: Methods for modifying contours of substrate surfaces are disclosed. Methods include depositing filler material on a critical mating surface of a substrate so as to render the mating surface more mateable with a matching substrate. The filler material can be deposited within or around features or defects on the mating surface such that a final desired surface contour is achieved. In some cases, the final surface contour of the mating surface is planar. This can prevent gaps associated with the features or defects from forming between the substrate and the matching substrate when they are joined together. The final surface contour of the mating surface can be determined by comparing dimensions of the mating surface to dimensions of a reference surface. In some cases, ink jet printing techniques are used to deposit the filler material accurately in prescribed locations and with precise thickness control.

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20160127447
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed herein for file sharing using remote applications. One embodiment provides a computer-implemented method that includes receiving, at a computing device, a selection of a reference for accessing the file, where the reference includes a first identifier specifying the file stored on a host server remotely located with respect to the computing device and a second identifier specifying an application that is running on the host server and that is configured to open files of a same type as the file. The method further includes establishing a remote connection to the application specified by the second identifier, by connecting to the host server and causing the application to be launched on the host server. In addition, the method includes causing the application to open the file specified by the first identifier and the user interface of the application to be remoted to the computing device.
