Patent number: 9020485Abstract: Systems and methods for managing distribution of applications are provided herein. A host server can act as an intermediary between a communications device and an app store in order to manage distribution of applications to the communications device. Thus, the host server can receive from the communications device an app request for an application that resides at the app store. The host server can examine various catalog information and provide a package that includes the application to the communications device.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2014Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Andrew Jong Kein Toy, Alexander Allan Trewby, David Wei Zhu

Publication number: 20140201532Abstract: Systems and methods for utilizing a remote server for storing credentials associated with a mobile device. For example, a login credential and/or a token credential can be stored at the remote server rather than at the mobile device. Because these credentials are stored at the remote server, the ecosystem including the mobile device and certain applications or services used by the mobile device can be more secure than conventional architectures.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 14, 2013Publication date: July 17, 2014Applicant: ENTERPROID HK LTDInventors: Andrew Jong Kein Toy, Alexander Allan Trewby, David Wei Zhu, Nadim Tawileh

Publication number: 20130260730Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a custom application container for a mobile operating system are provided herein. A container that encapsulates an application layer of a mobile operating system can be provided. Thus, the container can include all applications that reside in the application layer and operate as a proxy for system calls issued by the applications to the mobile operating system. In particular, the container can intercept core service request and forward those requests to pluggable extensions relating to a core service requested by the core service request.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2012Publication date: October 3, 2013Applicant: ENTERPROID HK LTDInventors: Andrew Jong Kein Toy, Alexander Allan Trewby, David Wei Zhu, Nadim Tawileh

Publication number: 20130260713Abstract: Systems and methods for metering network usage based upon an active container are provided herein. Multiple containers that encapsulate respective sets of applications included in an application layer of a mobile operating system can be provided. These containers can interface to the mobile operating system and manage interaction between the mobile operating system and the encapsulated application(s). Usage data facilitated by an application from the respective sets of applications can be identified and the usage data can be associated to an appropriate container, which is detail not available to device-level usage data.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2012Publication date: October 3, 2013Applicant: Enterproid HK LtdInventors: Andrew Jong Kein Toy, Alexander Allan Trewby, David Wei Zhu, Nadim Tawileh

Publication number: 20120159567Abstract: The disclosed subject matter relates to an architecture that can provide contextual role awareness. For example, rather than focusing on features and functionality at the device level, features and functionality can be controlled based upon various roles that can be related to various personas of a user. Thus, in a business or enterprise setting, the enterprise can manage a business role in accordance with that enterprise's security objectives, which might dramatically limit certain features for the user. However, the user can quickly switch roles, away from the business role in order to again access desired features, yet without compromising the security objectives of the enterprise.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2010Publication date: June 21, 2012Applicant: ENTERPROID HK LTDInventors: Andrew Jong Kein Toy, Alexander Allan Trewby, David Wei Zhu

Publication number: 20110319056Abstract: The disclosed subject matter relates to various architectures that can facilitate establishing a remote user interface (UI) by way of a secure connection session. The remote UI can reflect one or more interfaces extant on a mobile device (e.g., a smartphone with a Linux-based operating system (OS)), yet can be implemented on a remote device, typically of a higher form factor and/or equipped with superior computing, interface, and presentation resources. In particular, the remote UI can access all or a subset of the data or services extant on the mobile device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2010Publication date: December 29, 2011Applicant: ENTERPROID HK LTDInventors: Andrew Jong Kein Toy, Alexander Allan Trewby, David Wei Zhu

Publication number: 20040249067Abstract: The invention comprises a linear or branched polymer derivative comprising a water soluble and non-peptidic polymer backbone that incorporates an optionally protected vicinal diol, which is either embedded in the polymer backbone or is attached as a pendant group, wherein each linking group (linker) between the polymer backbone and the vicinal diol is a chain comprising at least two adjacent saturated carbon atoms. The invention further comprises a method of using said polymer derivative to form an aldehyde and either a second aldehyde or a ketone by way of oxidative cleavage.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2004Publication date: December 9, 2004Inventors: Martin Edward Fox, Robert Bruce Appell, Alexander Allan Cantrill

Patent number: 5631218Abstract: A synergy is exhibited between surfactants selected from the group comprising amphoteric surfactants and alkoxylated alcohol surfactants and a certain class of aromatic organic acids. Alkoxylated alcohol surfactants are otherwise poorly biocidal at reasonable formulation pH's. Accordingly the invention relates to a disinfecting composition including: an ortho-hydroxy benzoic acid derivative (preferably salicylic acid), and, an amphoteric surfactant and/or an alkoxylated alcohol nonionic surfactant (preferably an ethoxylated alcohol), said composition having a pH of 1-5.5.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 1995Date of Patent: May 20, 1997Assignee: Lever Brothers Company, Division of Conopco, Inc.Inventors: Alexander Allan, Ian M.

Patent number: 4930490Abstract: Gas log apparatus utilizes a burner in which a gas/air mixture is distributed to burner ports by a flat horizontal plenum chamber supported by a grate. The ports are rectangular, and formed in lateral ridges in the plenum chamber beneath and to either side of a laterally extending artificial log supported above the plenum chamber. The log is the middle of three logs arranged one behind the other and successively stepped upwardly, the middle and rear logs being supported by cantilevered extensions from the rear of the grate. The ports have varying width and spacing, which together with their sharply angled configuration, contributes to a lifelike appearance of the flames without causing excessive carbon monoxide emission.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 1989Date of Patent: June 5, 1990Assignee: Gas Application Products (GAP) Inc.Inventor: Alexander Allan
