  • HIERARCHICAL POSITIONED EVENT DISPATCH
    Publication number: 20170192942
    Abstract: An electronic device (102) includes a display (104) to display a layout (108) of views, a user input component (212, 214, 216) to receive input representative of a positioned event (118), and a positioned event handler component (226) to detect the positioned event. The electronic device further includes a registry management component (230) to identify a terminal view (122) of the layout of views based on a location of the positioned event and a view tree management component (228) to construct an ancestor chain (126) of one or more ancestor views of the terminal view from the layout. The positioned event handler component is to sequentially dispatch the positioned event in the ancestor chain starting at a root view (110) of the ancestor chain.

  • Constant phase
    Patent number: 9651703
    Abstract: Various embodiments are described that relate to a loop with a constant phase. The loop can function as an antenna and be used in object detection. A current source can be used to power the loop such that the loop produces a magnetic field and electric field. The magnetic field can be powerful enough to detect a dielectric while the electric field is so small that it does not interfere with nearby communication equipment. Thus, detection can occur without disruption of other important devices.

  • IMPROVED RECYCLE-CONTENT POLYESTER POLYOLS
    Publication number: 20170051103
    Abstract: Polyester polyols made from recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) and processes for making them are disclosed. The rPET is heated with a C3-C10 glycol reactant to give a digested intermediate comprising glycols and a terephthalate component, which comprises 45 to 70 wt. % of bis(hydroxyalkyl)terephthalates, and preferably lesser amounts of terephthalate dimers and trimers. Treatment of the digested intermediate with activated carbon gives a polyester polyol having a color index less than 20. The polyols have desirable hydroxyl numbers, viscosities, appearance, and other attributes for formulating polyurethane products and are a sustainable alternative to bio- or petrochemical-based polyols.

  • Detector
    Publication number: 20160018552
    Abstract: Various embodiments are described that relate to a detector. The detector can include a loop functioning at a high frequency that emits a magnetic field. The magnetic field can be retrieved and a comparison can be made between the emitted magnetic field and the retrieved magnetic field. If there is substantially little difference between the emitted and retrieved field, then a determination can be that no object is present. Conversely, if there is a substantial difference between the emitted and retrieved field, then the determination can be that an object is present and thus the object is detected. If the object is present, the returned magnetic field can be further analyzed to determine the type of object that is detected.
