Patent number: 9210221Abstract: The disclosure recites a device, system and method for provisioning resources from a server in a network to a mobile electronic device. The method comprising at the server: after receiving a network registration request from the device, accessing a device registry; if the device is in the device registry, determining whether a resource is may be provisioned to the device from the server, otherwise, if not, awaiting a request from the device for the resource; determining whether the resource has already been provisioned to the device or the device has been designated to be provisioned with the resource from an alternative source, and if so, not approving the resource to be provisioned to the device, otherwise providing a data transmission to the device from the server containing text and a link to the resource that can be extracted by the device.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2012Date of Patent: December 8, 2015Assignee: BLACKBERRY LIMITEDInventors: Michael Knowles, Liam Quinn, Andrew Bocking, Karen Moser, Mark Tiegs, Sherryl Lee Lorraine Scott

Patent number: 8406843Abstract: A self-prepping ECG electrode assembly is provided. The electrode assembly includes an electrode element, an electrode stud, an abrasive member, an electrolyte gel, a cover member and a securing member. The electrode element and electrode stud are adapted to be rotatable within the electrode assembly. The electrode assembly may be used with a drive tool. The electrode assembly may be placed on the skin of a patient. The skin of the patient may be prepped for an ECG by inserting the drive tool into a bore formed in the electrode stud and turning the drive tool to achieve an oscillating rotation. In this manner the abrasive pad preps the patient's skin for the ECG procedure.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2009Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Inventors: Mark Tiegs, Edward Arndt

Patent number: 8335880Abstract: The disclosure recites a device, system and method for provisioning resources from a server in a network to a mobile electronic device. The method comprises at the mobile electronic device: generating and sending a network registration request to the server to allow the server to determine whether the mobile electronic device is in a device registry linking resources managed by the server; waiting for a data transmission from the server, the data transmission containing text and a link to the resource that can receive the data transmission at the mobile electronic device; incorporating text and a link from the data transmission into a graphical user interface (GUI) generated on a display of the mobile electronic device to provide an interface to activate the link from the mobile electronic device; and generating an indicator on the GUI that the resource is new, if the resource is new to the mobile electronic device.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2011Date of Patent: December 18, 2012Assignee: Research In Motion LimitedInventors: Michael Knowles, Liam Quinn, Andrew Bocking, Karen Moser, Mark Tiegs, Sherryl Lee Lorraine Scott

Patent number: 8266357Abstract: The disclosure recites a system and method for updating a resource to an electronic device. The system comprises: a resource providing information for the device; a server to maintain the resource; a communication link providing the device with access to the resource; a data transmission module for extracting and transmitting access information about the resource to the device; and a data processing module for processing the received information at the device. In the device, a GUI provides information on a topic retrieved from local storage on the device and additional information about the resource is incorporated into the GUI for that topic.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2011Date of Patent: September 11, 2012Assignee: Research In Motion LimitedInventors: Michael Knowles, Liam Quinn, Andrew Bocking, Karen Moser, Mark Tiegs, Sherryl Lee Lorraine Scott

Patent number: 8122174Abstract: The invention provides a system and method for updating a resource to an electronic device. The method provisions a resource to an electronic device by: (a) maintaining the resource at a remote server from the device; and (b) after a triggering event, providing a data transmission to the device containing access information for the resource. The system incorporates the method and comprises: a resource providing information for the device; a server to maintain the resource; a communication link providing the device with access to the resource; a data transmission module for extracting and transmitting access information about the resource to the device; and a data processing module for processing the received information at the device. In the device, a GUI provides information on a topic retrieved from local storage on the device and additional information about the resource is incorporated into the GUI for that topic.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2006Date of Patent: February 21, 2012Assignee: Research in Motion LimitedInventors: Michael Knowles, Liam Quinn, Andrew Bocking, Karen Moser, Mark Tiegs, Sherryl Lee Lorraine Scott
