Abstract: The invention relates to systems and methods for executing functions on a mobile device based on gestures and commands of a user inside a vehicle. The system comprises a head-up display that reflects the screen of a mobile device and a motion-detection device connected to the mobile device. The motion-detection device is configured to gather information on the movement of the user's fingers regardless of whether or not the user's hands are on the steering wheel of the vehicle. The mobile device is configured to classify the movement of the user's fingers in a predetermined gesture associated with a predefined instruction, based on which a function is executed on the mobile device.

Abstract: A server computer system for parsing non-uniformly presented data from a variety of unique non-uniform third-party web portals can comprise a scripting processor configured to automatically execute a web-portal specific script for each of the one or more third-party web portals accessed by a network communication device. Each of the web-portal specific scripts can be configured to imitate inputs from a user input device and to automatically adapt interactions with each of the one or more third-party web portals to access and parse data elements from one or more non-uniformly available data fields. Further, the server computer system can comprise a database processor configured to compare a first set of data received from the one or more non-uniformly available data fields with a second set of data, which is stored within the local database device.

Abstract: A time-variant antenna is disclosed that uses a switched capacitor array in silicon to improve the performance and integration options of the time-variant antenna. Parasitic effects of the interface between the on-board antenna and on-silicon switched capacitor array are considered and the antenna is tuned to compensate for these effects. The switched capacitor array provides high linearity, lower cost, and reduced size, relative to prior art antenna implementations.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a waveguide cable includes a dielectric core and a conducting layer surrounding the dielectric core. A first antenna may be provided at a first end of the waveguide cable to receive a digital signal and to propagate an electromagnetic wave through the dielectric core. A second antenna may be provided at a second end of the waveguide cable, opposite the first end, to receive the electromagnetic wave from the dielectric core and to provide the digital signal.

Abstract: A caddy having a plurality of shirred food casing sticks arranged in a unique configuration therein that aids in achieving optimal utilization of available space for a plurality of caddies nested within a carton. A preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a caddy for packaging and transporting fifty sticks arranged in a semi-rectangular stick configuration having eight (8) generally adjacent and densely packed rows and a stacking of 6-7-6-7-6-7-6-5. The caddy mechanically interlocks with a second caddy via a series of recessed notches and protruding members. The snugness of the fit between the caddy and the second caddy is improved therefore enhancing stability and decreasing the amount of wasted space between adjacent caddies that are nested together.
