  • Patent number: 12259085
    Abstract: Provided is a stand including a first side wall and a second side wall coupled to a hinged based. The hinged based is pivotally coupled together by at least one pin with a resilient member that biases the stand in an open position. The stand adjusts to a closed position when an electronic device is place between the sidewalls and on the hinged base urging the hinged based downward causing the side walls to rotate in toward the electronic device to hold the electronic device.

  • Patent number: 9559995
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for broadcasting one or more contents to a recipient device. The system comprises a web server accessed by a sender device via a web browser, a content repository, an OJC server and an XMPP server accessed by a recipient device, an XMPP client. The web server receives, via the web browser, a broadcasting request from the sender device, wherein the broadcasting request comprises contents to be broadcasted to the XMPP client. The web server stores the contents in the content repository. The OJC server detects a connection request received from the XMPP client via the XMPP server. The connection request is received to initiate broadcasting of the contents to the XMPP client. The OJC server retrieves the contents from the content repository based upon the receipt of the connection request and thereafter transmits the contents to the XMPP client via the XMPP server.

  • Publication number: 20100167006
    Abstract: A molding (1) composed of a base body, formed by means of an injection molding process, and a fastening device (13) which is connected thereto while it is being shaped, is intended to be plugged onto the web (3) of the bodywork of a vehicle. In order to achieve simple handling in terms of mounting but also a stable seat of the molding on the web (3), said molding is characterized by a U-shaped clamp insert (14) which is composed of plastic and which is in direct contact with the web (3), wherein the clamp insert (14) is itself placed in a metallic clamp part (15) and is arranged secured therein, and wherein the system which constitutes the fastening device (13) and is composed of the clamp insert (14) and clamp part (15) is integrated into the material of the aforesaid base body. A seat of the molding (1) on the web (3) is achieved which is permanently fixed by virtue of the elastic properties of the clamp part (15) and is secured by frictional engagement between the web (3) and the clamp insert (14).

  • Publication number: 20100011671
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sealing profile (27) which is used as a seal on the window (4) of a vehicle door and which consists of a fastening section (28) to be put onto a ridge (13) and a sealing section (30) designed to rest against the window (4) when the latter is closed. The sealing section (30) is characterized by at least one sealing lip (32) onto the free end of which a section (32?) is molded which is bent in the direction of the fastening section (28). Said bent section is deflected in the direction of the lower side (31?) of an additional sealing lip (31) when the window (4) is closed and defines therewith a closed space (33) that is open in the open state of the window (4). The space (33) formed by the sealing lip (31) being rolled up results in favorable damping properties and reduced closing forces as compared to a classical hollow profile, owing to an increased supporting effect on ventilation.

  • Publication number: 20090241430
    Abstract: A seal arrangement consists of a U-shaped reception profile (1), the base side of which is designed to be fastened to a body part, and of an attachment profile (4) which has a U-shaped holding part (17) which is attached onto one leg (3) of the reception profile (1). The reception profile (1) forms a reception space (6) for bordering a pane (42), which reception space is delimited by hollow profile parts (10, 18) which lie opposite one another and are intended for bearing sealingly against the pane (42) and which are integrally formed in each case on the reception profile (1) and on the attachment profile (4). With the pane (42) moved out of the reception space (6), the hollow profile parts (10, 18) bear under elastic prestress one against the other. The attachment part (4) can be mounted and demounted independently of the reception part, so that the reception profile (1) can be utilized for the exact positioning of the seal arrangement as a whole.
