  • Publication number: 20240100817
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus for installing a screen protector on an electronic device is disclosed. The apparatus includes a support member and a first assembly. The support member has an upper support surface configured to support an electronic device. The first assembly includes a first member and an actuator. When the electronic device with a screen protector positioned thereon is supported on the upper support surface of the support member, actuating the actuator of the first assembly causes the first member to move into contact with the screen protector and to apply a force onto the screen protector to tack the screen protector to the electronic device.

  • Patent number: 9318043
    Abstract: A system for distributing display content to multiple heterogeneous mobile display devices is presented. The system includes several independently operated mobile display devices and a host server. The host server is communicatively coupled with the independent mobile display devices and is configured to divide the display content into several pixels. The host server is also configured to assign single pixels from the several pixels individually to distinct display devices selected from the several mobile display devices. The host server is also configured to instruct the display devices having assigned pixels to display their assigned single pixels. In some embodiments, the host server is configured to assign the single pixels to the display devices according to the attributes of the display devices.

  • Publication number: 20140281447
    Abstract: A virtualizing and obfuscating communications firmware module may be incorporated into common, mass-market portable computing devices, such as smartphones and tablets, to provide this service. The disclosure encompasses authentication and obfuscation software components that may comprise trusted firmware whose operation is protected from the main portable device operating system that is assumed to be hostile (e.g. infiltrated with malware or under the control of a remote attacker). In certain embodiments, a single-chip design is disclosed, without any specialized hardware: only the primary portable device applications microprocessor may be used by both the main operating system and the virtualizing and obfuscating communications firmware module. The operating system may operates as if it has access to a real communications peripheral, but in reality the virtualizing and obfuscating communications firmware module virtualizes this peripheral.
