Abstract: Techniques for auto-starting a VPN in a MAM environment are disclosed. A MAM-controlled application is launched on a computer system. Policy is queried and a determination is made as to whether to auto-start a VPN application based on the policy. Based on the policy, the VPN application is auto-started, and the VPN application initiates a VPN tunnel that is usable by at least the MAM-controlled application. Network communications transmitted to or from the MAM-controlled application then pass through the VPN tunnel.

Abstract: An improved emergency response system is provided. The system includes a patient or subscriber location database having a schedule of patient or subscriber activities. In one implementation, an emergency services server detects when the patient or subscriber is having a possible medical event as indicated by medical physiologic data transmitted from a wireless communication device proximate the patient. A third party such as a technologist and/or doctor diagnoses the patient and determines whether treatment is required. If treatment is required, a phone located remotely from the patient is used to call an emergency services first responder from a public safety access point in the patient's location. The remotely located phone has an automatic location identification database record that is updated based on the patient's current location as indicate by the patient location database.

Abstract: The technology described in this document can be embodied in a computer-implemented method of controlling a wearable audio device configured to provide an audio output. The method includes receiving data indicating the wearable audio device is proximate a geographic location associated with a localized audio message, and determining that the localized audio message has a higher priority compared to at least one other localized audio message associated with another geographical location proximate to the wearable audio device. The method also includes, responsive to determining that the localized audio message has the higher priority, providing a prompt to initiate playback of the localized audio message with the higher priority to a user of the wearable audio device, and initiating playback of the localized audio message with the higher priority at the wearable audio device in response to actuation of the prompt by the user.

Abstract: Digital flexural materials are discrete parts that can be assembled into a lattice structure to produce functionally useful assemblies. An automated process for constructing a structure from digital flexural materials includes assembling a set of discrete units into the structure by reversibly connecting a majority of the set of discrete units to each other, each of the units being reversibly connected or connectable to at least two other units in the set according to a lattice geometry, and then assembling the reversibly connected discrete units into the structure according to the lattice geometry, wherein the structure has the property that a reversible deformation of at least part of the structure occurs in response to loading of the structure. The units in the set of discrete units may be of at least two types or may together comprise a stretch-bend coupled material when assembled according to the lattice geometry.

Abstract: An apparatus for cutting a substrate includes a cutter head body. The cutter head body has a first portion and a second portion that is removably coupled to the first portion for securing a cutting blade between the first portion and the second portion. The apparatus also includes a pair of rollers coupled to the first portion and a compression wheel coupled to the cutter head body and aligned with the cutting blade for compressing the substrate prior to cutting.

Abstract: In an active noise reducing headphone, a signal processor applies filters and control gains of both the feed-forward and feedback active noise cancellation signal paths. The signal processor is configured to apply first feed-forward filters to the feed-forward signal path and apply first feedback filters to the feedback signal path during a first operating mode providing effective cancellation of ambient sound, and to apply second feed-forward filters to the feed-forward signal path during a second operating mode providing active hear-through of ambient sounds with ambient naturalness.

Abstract: For a device with a slider component, movement of the slider component may be used as part of an authentication process, for example, when unlocking the device, or a portion thereof, or providing user authentication to an application executed on the device.

Abstract: A method carried out by an electronic device enabled to send and receive electronic messages over a network, including: determining if a new electronic message received by the device is part of a message thread that includes the new message and at least one prior electronic message previously received at the device; and if the new message is determined to be part of a message thread, comparing address information of the new message with address information of the at least one prior electronic message in the message thread to determine if there has been a change in addressed recipients between the new message and the at least one prior electronic message, and if so, providing a notification to a user of the device of the existence of the change.
