  • Patent number: 11861299
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for populating application-specific information using overlay applications. For example, in order to relieve some of the difficulties users face in inputting information into mobile devices which may have smaller screen sizes and may not feature dedicated input mechanisms, the methods and systems described herein automatically populate application-specific information. The methods and systems do this using an application that presents an application overlay feature. That is, the application is accessible while a user is using another application (e.g., on the mobile device) and/or while a user is scrolling through other applications.

  • Patent number: 11857819
    Abstract: A device for use with an exerciser device, such as a reformer, which permits adjustment of a resistance system, even when connected to a resistance source, by selectively relieving a resistance force imparted on the resistance adjustment system when changing a resistance and automatically reengaging the resistance force when exercising. A strain relief is coupled to a linkage between the resistance source and a resistance adjuster. When engaged, the strain relief selectively reduces the resistance force transmitted through the linkage to the resistance adjuster to permit movement of the resistance adjuster relative to a purchase. When disengaged the strain relief permits transmission of the resistance force through the linkage to the resistance adjuster.

  • Patent number: 11858701
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a can lid that is child resistant, and at the same time senior friendly, and can be initially installed on a can to be removed by an adult, especially a senior adult, and be put back on the can in the same condition where a child could still not be able to easily remove it. The child resistant and senior friendly can lid provided has a replaceable can lid and a locking member, such that when a can is initially opened, it may be readily resealed. The child resistant and senior friendly can lid has tapered, smooth sides to make the lid difficult to grasp and a sealing ledge on the inside surface to grab the seam roll of the upper edge of the can. The lid sealing ledge is relieved in two areas ninety degrees apart leaving a ridge to maintain a seal when the lid is attached to a can. The can lid will be flexible enough to bend for removal by seniors but resistant to removal by children.

  • Patent number: 11861004
    Abstract: A first computing device on a first network establishes a secure communications channel with a second computing device on a second network. The first computing device receives, via the secure communications channel from the second computing device, a first software product and a first software product identifier that identifies a previously manufactured first software product. The first computing device obtains first validation information that uniquely identifies the previously manufactured first software product. The first computing device analyzes the first validation information and the first software product to determine whether the first software product is different from the previously manufactured first software product. The first computing device, in response to determining that the first software product is different from the previously manufactured first software product, sends a first message to the second computing device indicating that the first software product is not validated.
