Patent number: 9892628Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein generally include a system and a method of controlling a portable electronic device based on the interaction of the portable electronic device with an electronic device, such as a mounting device. Embodiments of the disclosure may include a system and a method of providing information to the portable electronic device that causes the portable electronic device to perform one or more desirable functions or processes based on the portable electronic device's interaction with the mounting device. In some embodiments, the portable electronic device may respond differently when it is caused to interact with differently configured mounting devices. Some aspects of the invention may include an apparatus, method and/or computing device software application that are configured to more easily setup and reliably control a portable electronic device based on the interaction of the portable electronic device with the mounting device.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2015Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: LOGITECH EUROPE S.A.Inventors: Ariel Fischer, Kuo-Yu (Gloria) Kao, Jose Froilan P. Lomotan, Nicolas Sasselli, Nicolas Chauvin, Frederic Frappereau, Derek Tarnow, Bruce Lancaster

Patent number: 6803237Abstract: A sequential processing reactor vessel and method is disclosed for accelerated extraction and fractionation of chemical analytes from complex solid sample materials. The device and method provide for sequential extraction of elemental constituents from solid materials by sequentially contacting target samples within a single reaction vessel using a series of different reagents at temperatures as high as 150° C. and pressures up to 150 psi to accelerate reactions. The aggressive chemical treatments provided by the disclosed device and method enable the complete digestion of solid samples in liquid analyte samples that can be directly analyzed by conventional spectrometry or other suitable methods. The disclosed device and method provide for efficient sample processing and accelerated reactions to significantly reduce processing times and costs for elemental analysis of solids while improving accuracy, precision and reliability of results compared to conventional devices and methods.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2001Date of Patent: October 12, 2004Assignee: Woods Hole Oceanographic InstitutionInventors: Steven J. Manganini, Kenneth W. Doherty, Terence R. Hammer, Bruce A. Lancaster
