  • Patent number: 10248434
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software can be used to launch an application. In some aspects, a plurality of process classes is configured. Each of the plurality of process classes includes one or more applications. Each of the process classes is configured to be associated with a template process. Each template process is associated with a different randomized memory layout. A launch request for an application is received. A process class that is associated with the application is determined in response to the launching request. The application is launched using the template process associated with the determined process class.

  • Patent number: 10178237
    Abstract: A method at a user equipment to facilitate splitting of data billing between at least two parties, the method assigning a first subset of application to a first forwarding information base (“FIB”) on the user equipment; associating the first FIB with a first cellular data interface; activating the splitting of data billing on the user equipment; and replacing the association in the first FIB to the first cellular interface with an association between a second cellular data interface and the first FIB.

  • Patent number: 9467329
    Abstract: A device and its operations are described herein. In some examples, the operations can include executing a first application within a first operating system domain of a device, the first application associated with at least a first activity view. The operations can further include detecting user input associated with the first application. The user input is associated with activating a second activity view of a second application. The operations can further include determining that the second application corresponds to a second operating system domain of the device. The operations can further include establishing a first proxy link within the first operating system domain that corresponds with a second proxy link within the second operating system domain. The first proxy link is associated with causing the second proxy link to invoke the second activity view of the second application within the second operating system domain.

  • Publication number: 20140042755
    Abstract: A case latch assembly having strike plate member on first lock mounting part; hinge member mounted for pivotable movement on second lock mounting part; strike plate engagement member mounted on the hinge member for reciprocal linear movement thereon and having coupling slot provided therein extending generally lengthways and having cam slot provided therein extending generally crossways; rotatably mounted lock nut; cam pin connected to the lock nut at an off-centre position and engaged with the cam slot; and coupling pin connected to the lock nut at a second position and located through the coupling slot. Rotation of the lock nut is translated by movement of the cam pin within the cam slot into linear movement of the strike plate engagement member between a closed position and an extended position and wherein the coupling pin moves along the coupling slot during the rotation of the lock nut.
