  • Patent number: 11977711
    Abstract: A resource tagging service allows resource tags to be created and associated with computing resources in a service provider network. The resource tags can be utilized to search, collect, filter, organize and otherwise manage computing resources in the service provider network having matching tags, and/or to perform other types of functionality. A resource groups service allows customers and/or other users of the service provider network to view and access collections of computing resources that share common resource tags and/or other attributes. Resource groups can also be evaluated in order to identify computing resources in a service provider network for which certain types of actions or other functionality is to be performed. Membership of resource groups can also be evaluated over time and inferences can be drawn from the membership and from operational information associated with the member computing resources.

  • Patent number: 11697065
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating a convenient transfer of control elements for a gaming session from one device to another device without interrupting the gaming session for one or more players. For example, systems disclosed herein include pairing an input device (e.g., a gaming controller) with one or more client devices. Once paired, the input device may detect a trigger condition based on proximity of a registered client device to the input device. The client device may pull control of one or more control elements for the gaming session. The client device may then continue the gaming session without interrupting the experience for the user or for other users that may be engaged within the gaming session.

  • Patent number: 8126304
    Abstract: A fiber optic cable system includes a fiber optic main cable having a strength member and a plurality of optical fibers extending therein within an outer cable sheath. A flexible longitudinally extending inner housing is positioned proximate the plurality of optical fibers on a section of the main cable having the outer cable sheath removed. At least one fiber optic drop cable has at least one optical fiber having an end portion extending outwardly from an end of the drop cable. The end portion is spliced together with an end portion of a corresponding at least one severed end portion of one of the plurality of optical fibers of the main cable to define at least one spliced together fiber portion coupling at least one of the plurality of optical fibers of the main cable to a corresponding one of the at least one fiber of the drop cable.

  • Patent number: 7503707
    Abstract: Methods for splicing optical fibers include coupling a first optical fiber cable to a longitudinally extending closure frame and coupling a second optical fiber cable to an adjustable guide member on the closure frame. The adjustable guide member is moved toward the first optical fiber cable to provide a distance between the first and second optical fiber cable less than an exposed length of the first and second optical fiber therebetween to provide a slack length of optical fiber. Cleaved exposed ends of a first optical fiber from the first optical fiber cable and a second optical fiber from the second optical fiber cable are positioned proximate each other in a splice station displaced from the closure frame utilizing the slack length of optical fiber. The first and second optical fibers are spliced in the splice station and the adjustable guide member is moved away the first optical fiber cable to remove the slack length and position the spliced optical fibers in the closure frame.

  • Publication number: 20080112698
    Abstract: A camera system for use with a weapon includes a camera, a lens assembly separate from the camera, and a mount attached to the lens assembly for mounting the lens assembly to a weapon. The camera includes a body, a wireless receiver disposed along the body, and a storage medium in communication with the receiver. The lens assembly comprises a wireless transmitter for transmitting signals from the lens assembly to the receiver. The camera system may include a sensor connected to the lens assembly for detecting a change in the position of the lens assembly from a non-shooting position to a shooting position and for activating the camera system based upon detection of this change in positions.
