  • Publication number: 20240188182
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to managing wireless connections within a spatially-dense setting like a passenger vehicle, thereby improving quality and reliability of individual wireless connections. An example method includes detecting a connection request from a passenger device requesting a wireless connection with a seatback device in a first in-vehicle location. The method includes defining a density zone that includes other in-vehicle locations surrounding the first in-vehicle location. The density zone localizes an area within which other wireless connections may be disruptive to the wireless connection. The method includes determining, via a token server that stores connection tokens that each describe an existing connection, a number of particular tokens that describe existing connections located within the density zone.

  • Patent number: 11806206
    Abstract: An orthodontic remodeling system includes an extraoral vibratory source coupled to a bite plate, where the extraoral vibratory source is operable to vibrate the bite plate at a frequency in a range of 0.1 to 400 Hz. The bite plate is configured to deliver cyclic forces simultaneously to teeth of the maxillary and mandibular arches, and the bite plate and the extraoral vibratory source are held during use only by clamping with the teeth. A battery is operable to power the extraoral vibratory source, and a processor is configured to control the extraoral vibratory source. Electronic media is operable to capture data indicating usage duration and usage frequency to allow patient compliance to be determined.

  • Patent number: 11737537
    Abstract: A garment hanger mechanism and system are provided for a multi-panel, foldable travel bag. The mechanism comprises a garment hanger member with spaced recesses for receiving clothes hangers. The member is attached to or integrated with a panel of the travel bag, and resides on the inside of the bag when folded. A removable securing means ensures hangers remain within the member recesses during travel. By using hanging means for both the bag and mechanism when the travel bag is unfolded, hanging garments can be efficiently unpacked and accessed from the travel bag without removing hangers from the member recesses. In this manner, the travel bag may be converted into a temporary travel closet within an existing closet. The bag can also be hung using just the bag hanging means from a door or in a closet.

  • Patent number: 11032283
    Abstract: Some aspects of what is described here relate to managing the use of network resources on a mobile device. User input received at the device indicates whether to allow an application associated with a first perimeter on the device to access a network resource associated with a second perimeter on the device. For example, in some instances user input may indicate whether to allow data from applications associated with a personal perimeter on the device to be transmitted over an enterprise communication system. When outbound data associated with the first perimeter are received, the device determines, according to the indication from the user input, whether to route the outbound data to the network resource associated with the second perimeter.

  • Patent number: 10735964
    Abstract: In some implementations, a method includes receiving, from a user of a first device, a request to enable access, through a second device, to a server resource account of an enterprise. The first device includes a first enterprise perimeter including an internal resource and a first enterprise identifier and configured to prevent external resources from accessing the internal resource. A request is wirelessly transmit, to the second device, to the second device for a second enterprise identifier assigned to a second enterprise perimeter included in the second device. Whether to grant access to the internal resource is determined based on a first enterprise identifier assigned to the first device and a second enterprise identifier assigned to the second device.

  • Patent number: 10500019
    Abstract: Methods of inducing tooth movement and treating malocclusion include reducing orthodontic treatment duration by daily applying cyclic forces simultaneously to teeth of the maxillary and mandibular arches during a treatment period. The teeth are also receiving static forces generated by an orthodontic appliance during the treatment period. The cyclic forces applied daily by clamping the teeth down on a bite plate, and activating an extraoral vibration source configured to deliver the cyclic forces to the bite plate at a constant frequency and a maximum force. Data indicating usage duration and usage frequency is stored electronically.
