  • Publication number: 20200234543
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a process to predict a probability of a future event occurring in a present competition includes receiving time-stamped position information of one or more participants in the present competition. The time-stamped position information is captured by a telemetry tracking system during the present competition. The process uses the time-stamped position information to determine a first play situation of the present competition. The process determines, based on at least the first play situation and playing data associated with at least a subset of one or both of a first set of one or more participants and a second set of one or more participants, a prediction of the probability of a first future event occurring at the present competition.

  • Patent number: 10191535
    Abstract: The embodiments discussed herein relate to systems, methods, and apparatus for controlling power consumption of a computing device in a standby or sleep mode. During the standby or sleep mode an external device can be plugged into the computing device. The external device can be provided power from a standby power supply until a determination is made as to whether a main power supply is operating. The determination can be based on comparing the output of the main power supply to an output of the standby power supply. If the main power supply is operating, a switch in the computing device can close to allow the main power supply to provide power to the external device. Moreover, in some embodiments, the switch can close based exclusively on a current demand of the external device from the standby power supply.

  • Patent number: 9288299
    Abstract: A method for transferring files from a first mobile electronic device to one or more second mobile electronic devices. The method includes detecting a contact with a screen of the first mobile electronic device at an icon in a user interface of the first mobile electronic device, where the icon represents a file to be shared. The method further includes triggering transferring of the file when one of the following actions is detected: a swinging of the first mobile electronic device while contact with the screen is maintained; a flicking gesture to flick the icon toward a sharing area in the user interface; or a dragging of the icon to the sharing area and a releasing of the contact.

  • Patent number: 9125303
    Abstract: One embodiment of a power supply input routing apparatus can include a multilayer printed circuit board configured to accept only an alternating current (AC) line voltage, return and ground signals. The AC power jumper board can advantageously route AC power from one section of the power supply to another without burdening the power supply design with extra layer requirements or negatively increasing power supply area. Embodiments including an electronic device having a power supply as above are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20140082610
    Abstract: A method for sharing an application includes generating, by a first mobile electronic device, an invitation to be sent to a second mobile electronic device to install the application in the second mobile electronic device, where the invitation contains a downloading address of a server on which an installation key is stored and a service set identifier (SSID) of the first mobile electronic device. The method further includes sending the invitation.
