  • Publication number: 20230144210
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a processor that performs a basic input/output system (BIOS) process to initialize hardware of the electronic device upon a first start up. The processor determines, within the BIOS process, that initialization of an operating system (OS) on the electronic device has not been performed. The processor waits to receive a user input indicating that the user is ready to initialize the OS, thus protecting the OS initialization process from unintended interruptions such as power loss that can cause the OS initialization to fail irreparably. Upon receiving the user input, the processor begins the OS initialization.

  • Patent number: 10335317
    Abstract: Eyewear is disclosed that can have multiple ventilation states providing different amounts of ventilation through the eyewear. The eyewear can include a lens and a frame. In some embodiments, the lens can be movable with respect to the frame to provide the multiple ventilation states. In some embodiments, the eyewear can include a gasket that removably attaches to the frame. In some embodiments, the gasket can be movable with respect to the frame to provide the multiple ventilation states.

  • Patent number: 10076149
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods, etc., that provide, in certain aspects, a two-point, adjustable, partially pliable, and releasable tensioning suspension that supports an anti-blunt-force frame connected to a protective helmet. The protective devices herein can be, for example, “sport-level” and “military/law enforcement-level.” The anti-blunt-force frame is positioned and balanced on the wearer's face by an impact absorbing face padding system, including a chin strap, cup or pad comprised of an impact protection material. Thus, in one aspect, the present devices, systems, methods, etc., include an adjustable facial protection system for a human comprising a crescent-shaped face protection element configured to withstand blunt force impact and a ballistic material element to prevent the penetration of ballistic and fragmentation projectiles at various force levels to meet different ballistic hazards. The systems can also include a protective helmet.

  • Publication number: 20150346938
    Abstract: A computing device is configured to provide over a network an ability to create variable data custom multi-media files. In one example, a computing device imports a data file including an array of output files over a network. The computing device provides a user interface for a requesting computing device to manipulate a video template with layers are associated with display of an output during. The computing device receives a request to assign columns from the array to layers of the timeline. The computing device processes the data file and the requests to render variable data custom multi-media files, and makes them available to the requesting computer device. The variable data custom multi-media files display output over the time periods associated with the timeline layers that is based on the assigned array of output files.

  • Patent number: 9110572
    Abstract: A computing device is configured to provide over a network an ability to create a 2.5D full motion custom multi-media file. In one example, a computing device makes available to a user a plurality of stored video templates into which a user may insert custom video, photos, and/or text. The computing device provides a low resolution preview of the custom video to the user over the network connection. The user then has the ability to edit the custom video prior to finalization. The computing device receives signals indicating purchase or licensing credentials and in response to receiving such credentials, finalizes and delivers a 2.5D video for the user. So configured, a user can relatively cheaply and quickly create video content such as an advertisement having modern visual features such as 2.5D video in a cost efficient and timely manner.
