  • Publication number: 20170046321
    Abstract: A computing device displays electronic content associated with a plurality of annotations each corresponding to a respective portion of the electronic content. A first annotation, which includes one or more comments associated with a first portion of the electronic content, is displayed. While the first annotation is displayed, an input to display a second annotation is received. The second annotation is associated with a second portion of the electronic content, and includes one or more comments associated with the second portion. Responsive to receiving the input, the second portion of the electronic content and the one or more comments associated with the second portion are displayed.

  • Publication number: 20160252317
    Abstract: The present invention provides a magazine holding ammunition and electronic components arranged to be locked/unlocked biometrically or by radio signal, the magazine comprising a housing having a capacity for holding both a column of cartridges and electronic components. The housing being dimensioned to be insertable into a standard firearm without requiring any modification of the firearm. Further, the magazine includes an assembly for preventing the charging of the firearm by a mechanical element extending longitudinally outside of the housing or a cartridge barrier element preventing cartridges exiting the magazine housing; and manually or electro-mechanic actuating means for pulling/pushing the mechanical elements in response to a received radio signal, or biometrically released; and electronic means in the housing for processing incoming radio signals for actuating all means and a mobile power supply attached to the housing.

  • Publication number: 20020127062
    Abstract: A combined digital depth control and rate of ascent control device to be used by scuba divers. The device would automatically prevent the diver from exceeding a predetermined depth and prevent the diver from ascending at an excessively high rate. The device comprises a sealed housing attachable to the apparatus so as to be submerged in the water with the diver. The housing has an inlet connectable to the pressurized gas tank, an outlet connected to the inflatable buoyancy jacket, a control passageway between the inlet and outlet, being automatically displaced to open the passageway upon sensing the predetermined depth.
