  • Publication number: 20240121906
    Abstract: An operating unit for a molding machine includes a support, a screen part mounted pivotable on the support, and an operating part mounted pivotable on the screen part and/or the support, and the pivotability of the screen part and the operating part results in different use positions for an operator. The operating part is motion-coupled to the screen part and/or to the support by a mechanism and/or a drive unit at least in areas such that a first relative angle between the support and the screen part determines a second relative angle between the screen part and the operating part.

  • Patent number: 11952592
    Abstract: Organs-on-chips are microfluidic devices for culturing living cells in micrometer sized chambers in order to model physiological functions of tissues and organs. Engineered patterning and continuous fluid flow in these devices has allowed culturing of intestinal cells bearing physiologically relevant features and sustained exposure to bacteria while maintaining cellular viability, thereby allowing study of inflammatory bowl diseases. However, existing intestinal cells do not possess all physiologically relevant subtypes, do not possess the repertoire of genetic variations, or allow for study of other important cellular actors such as immune cells. Use of iPSC-derived epithelium, including IBD patient-specific cells, allows for superior disease modeling by capturing the multi-faceted nature of the disease.

  • Patent number: 10769183
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to enabling users to provide feedback on resources displayed in user interfaces. A feedback tool is executed to allow a user to specify a resource displayed in a user interface. Context metadata about the user interface is captured and stored by the feedback tool. The context metadata corresponds to runtime activity such as loading executable modules, rendering the user interface, handling windowing/input events, etc. The tool is used to specify a resource displayed in the user interface. This triggers capture of the specified resource and the runtime context metadata. The resource and context metadata are searched for in a database of known resources and their respective properties and identifiers. If a match is found, then the source-level identity of the resource is known. The feedback is associated with the resource and used to directly supplement or modify the resource in a source code resource file.

  • Patent number: 8774172
    Abstract: This disclosure describes embodiments of systems and methods that use protocols and techniques that can stream audio from a video device to a separate device while reducing or eliminate audio/video synchronization errors. In some embodiments, these systems and methods use Voice over IP (VoIP) technology to stream audio to mobile devices with low latency, resulting in little or no user-perceivable delay between the audio stream and corresponding video presentation. As a result, users can enjoy both the audio and video of any video display in an establishment. In addition, the systems and methods described herein may be implemented in the home or other locations to allow viewers who may be hard of hearing to listen to audio clearly via headphones.

  • Publication number: 20070255943
    Abstract: A system for automating the recovery of a credential store, in which client software generates a temporary key pair based on a new password, and sends client information including the user's name, the public half of the temporary key pair, and the host name of the client computer system to a server system, from which the client information is passed to a recovery process. The client software process displays a prompt indicating that the user should call a help desk. A help desk administrator verifies the user's identity and approves the user's request by causing an approval message to be sent to the recovery process. The recovery process obtains recovery information consisting of either the decryption key(s) for the credential store, or a decrypted copy of the credential store, and encrypts the recovery information using the temporary public key. The client process downloads the recovery information from the server, and decrypts it using private key of the temporary key pair.

  • Publication number: 20060112283
    Abstract: The present invention is a method, system and apparatus for the encryption of a credential store by using a lockbox mechanism. In a credential store encryption method, a lockbox for a credential store can be retrieved and an encryption key can be selected from among a list of encryption keys in the lockbox. The lockbox can be a local lockbox and the local lockbox can be retrieved from an unencrypted region of the credential store. In any case, subsequent to the retrieval of the lockbox, the credential store can be decrypted with the selected encryption key.

  • Publication number: 20050062389
    Abstract: Diamond microtip field emitters are used in triode vacuum microelectronic devices, sensors and displays. Diamond triode devices having integral anode and grid structures can be fabricated. Ultra-sharp tips are formed on the emitters in a fabrication process in which diamond is deposited into mold cavities in a two-step deposition sequence. During deposition of the diamond, the carbon graphite content is carefully controlled to enhance emission performance. The tips or the emitters are treated by post-fabrication processes to further enhance performance.

  • Publication number: 20020073111
    Abstract: A computer software system and method of enhanced data collection, manipulation, and management of information that is to be contained on a database located on a central server. The method is performed via a software application running on one or more computer workstations located in one or more locations. The method is both expedited and simplified by providing powerful data manipulation and data generation routines that are executed during data entry or after the data is contained within the database. The method may also manage to track the status of each data item entered at the computer workstation, and also the current state of the item, which could be either online, offline, suspended, needs removing, or needs uploading. In addition, the method may also include a preset expiration mechanism.

  • Patent number: 6264125
    Abstract: There is hereinafter provided a reciprocating/oscillating structure for use in a fishing reel, wherein the guide carries a guide slot within it that is asymmetric in shape, and that creates two separate spool movement velocity regimes as the spool is moved forward and backward during recall of fishing line into the reel. The guide slot of the instant invention is asymmetrically constructed to produce, in a two-cycle-type spool movement arrangement, one spool velocity profile in the forward direction and a different spool velocity function in the rearward direction. In the preferred embodiment, the two velocity profiles (asymmetries of the guide) will be chosen to be complementary in the sense that imperfections in the velocity function in one direction can be compensated for to some extent during movement in the second cycle.
