Publication number: 20230185588Abstract: A method and system for simultaneous recording of the pixels of a screen in the form of a video and at least one of: events received via an accessibility API and snapshots of the UI obtained via an accessibility API. All captured elements are associated with timestamps such that the video, events and UI snapshots can retrospectively be replayed and retain their synchronisation. The recording is performed via an app that runs on the same device being recorded and the recorded session may be uploaded to server via a network. A second app, running on a second device may be used to download the recorded sessions and be used to play, pause, and scrub, such that the pixels, accessibility events and the UI can be inspected at any time from the recorded session.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2022Publication date: June 15, 2023Applicant: RealityMine LimitedInventor: Graham Nigel Dean

Publication number: 20230185909Abstract: A user interface change event is detected. An app identifier of an associated third party app is determined. A dynamic rule data structure associated with the app identifier of the associated third party app is determined. A user interface match state specified by the dynamic rule data structure is determined based on absolute screen positioning or relative screen positioning. A current user interface state of the associated third party app is determined by querying an accessibility API. Upon determining that the user interface match state matches the current user interface state, at least one user interface report field specified by the dynamic rule data structure is determined and at least one report field property of the at least one user interface report field is extracted by querying the accessibility API. An active session data structure associated with the dynamic rule data structure is updated to store the extracted property value.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2022Publication date: June 15, 2023Applicant: RealityMine LimitedInventor: Graham Nigel Dean

Patent number: 10766669Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a plastic or polymeric container (100) with reclosable zippers or reclosures (10) which make the package child-resistant. In one typical embodiment, this is achieved by a zipper or reclosure (10) including a first profile (12) with a first lower interlocking element (28) and a first upper interlocking element (29), wherein the first profile (12) is severed through the first upper interlocking element (29) to form a lower first profile (12?) and an upper first profile (12?). This severing forms at least one tab (18) extending from an upper edge of the lower first profile (12?) and including a portion of the first upper interlocking element (29?). The second profile (14) includes a second web portion (30) with a second lower interlocking element (44) and a second upper interlocking element (46).Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2019Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: ILLINOIS TOOL WORKS INC.Inventors: Jose Manuel Septien Rojas, Nigel Dean Knight

Patent number: 8565405Abstract: A telephone handset is provided with a user interface which includes a display unit, audio output unit and various user actuable keys. A phone controller implements and responds to instructions from the user interface. Where the instructions from the user interface request the connection of a call, the phone controller connects the handset to a PSTN via one of a plurality of connection means provided. Similarly, in the event of an incoming call connection request received via any one of the connection means, the phone controller enables the connection of the call. The user may choose to accept or reject the connection using the interface. The handling of an incoming or outgoing call is determined by a connection routing engine. The connection routing engine comprises an identification unit, a rules unit, a comparison unit and an enabling unit.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2009Date of Patent: October 22, 2013Assignee: Panaram LimitedInventors: Garry Partington, Howard John Simms, Adam John Fleming, Benjamin James Last, Graham Nigel Dean

Patent number: 6934150Abstract: A rack mountable shelf supports a plurality of field replaceable units (FRUs) in the form of server cartridges, or blades. The blades are provided with an enclosure that includes a metal portion and a plastics portion. The provision of a blade enclosure for the blade can protect the components of the blade from physical damage and can also isolate them from electrical, static and other effects that could be potentially damaging to the blade components. The use of metal can provide strength and electromagnetic interference shielding with a very thin layer. The use of plastics can provide lightness, flexibilty in design, and the avoidance of metal to metal contact to facilitate insertion and removal of the blades.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2002Date of Patent: August 23, 2005Assignee: Sun Microsystems, Inc.Inventors: James Robert Kitchen, Helenaur Wilson, Nigel Dean Ritson, Andrew P. Tosh, Simon James Matthews, Martin Philip Riddiford

Patent number: 6762934Abstract: An ejector mechanism is provided for a field replaceable module (e.g., a server blade) of modular computer system (e.g., a blade server system). The field replaceable module can be received in a carrier of the modular computer system and can have an elongate face. An ejector mechanism, that can possibly also act as an injection mechanism, can be located at the elongate face and can include an elongate lever extending substantially along the elongate front face. A pivotal mounting for the lever can be located towards a first end thereof and an ejection protrusion can be provided at the first end. The use of a lever that extends substantially along the elongate face of the field replaceable module provides an efficient ejection mechanism with good mechanical advantage.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2002Date of Patent: July 13, 2004Assignee: Sun Microsystems, Inc.Inventors: James Kitchen, Helenaur Wilson, Nigel Dean Ritson, Andrew P.

Patent number: 6127120Abstract: The invention relates to the detection of target nucleic acids or nucleic acid units in a sample, by obtaining a SER(R)S spectrum for a SER(R)S-active complex containing, or derived directly from, the target. The complex includes at least a SER(R)S-active label, and optionally a target binding species containing a nucleic acid or nucleic acid unit. In this detection method, the concentration of the target present in the SER(R)S-active complex, or of the nucleic acid or unit contained in the target binding species in the SER(R)S-active complex, is no higher than 10.sup.-10 moles per liter. Additionally or alternatively, one or more of the following features may be used with the method: i) the introduction of a polyamine; ii) modification of the target, and/or of the nucleic acid or nucleic acid unit contained in the target binding species, in a manner that promotes or facilitates its chemi-sorption onto a SER(R)S-active surface; iii) inclusion of a chemi-sorptive functional group in the SER(R)S-active label.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 1998Date of Patent: October 3, 2000Assignee: University of StrathclydeInventors: Duncan Graham, Adrian Matthew Thornton Linacre, Callum Hugh Munro, William Ewan Smith, Nigel Dean Watson, Peter Cyril White
