Patent number: 10178200Abstract: In some implementations, a mobile device can be configured to monitor environmental, system and user events associated with the mobile device and/or a peer device. The occurrence of one or more events can trigger adjustments to system settings. The mobile device can be configured to keep frequently invoked applications up to date based on a forecast of predicted invocations by the user. In some implementations, the mobile device can receive push notifications associated with applications that indicate that new content is available for the applications to download. The mobile device can launch the applications associated with the push notifications in the background and download the new content. In some implementations, before running an application or communicating with a peer device, the mobile device can be configured to check energy and data budgets and environmental conditions of the mobile device and/or a peer device to ensure a high quality user experience.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2016Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Jonathan J.

Publication number: 20180167452Abstract: A method and system for distributed spatial control of a formation of vehicles includes receiving at a first formation vehicle via a peer-to-peer communication interface, direction of travel and formation density information that indicate a course of travel for the first vehicle while travelling as a member of the formation of vehicles. The peer-to-peer formation density information indicates a distance to maintain from other neighboring formation vehicles. A formation vehicle self-navigation command is generated for navigating the first vehicle when travelling in one dimensional, two dimensional, or three dimensional space as a member of the formation of vehicles. The self-navigation command is based on the peer-to-peer direction of travel and formation density information. The direction of travel information is based on locally determined spatial relationships of a portion of the formation of vehicles.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2017Publication date: June 14, 2018Applicant: University of South FloridaInventors: Tansel Yucelen, Dzung Minh Duc Tran

Publication number: 20180083384Abstract: Various embodiments of a coupling are disclosed. The coupling can include a barrel that includes a communication pathway, such as an electrical contact or optical pathway. The coupling can include a nut that is configured to engage with a corresponding portion of a mating connector, such as via a threaded connection. When the coupling and the mating connector are engaged, the nut secures the coupling and the mating connector together, and respective termination elements of the coupling and the mating connector are in communication with each other. The coupling can include a torque-limiting mechanism. The torque-limiting mechanism can be configured to enable the transmission of torque up to a limit amount, and to inhibit or prevent the transmission of torque above the limit amount.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2016Publication date: March 22, 2018Inventors: Cameron Burns, Hung Duc Tran, Peter Hyzin, Le Nguyen

Patent number: 9898715Abstract: System and methods for manipulating rights expressions for use in connection with a rights management system include one or more tokenized templates. Each tokenized template includes one or more rights expression language statements and one or more tokens associated with at least one of the rights expression language statements. Further, the tokens can be place holders for data items or rights expression elements. The system further includes a license template module that creates the tokenized templates, and a license instance creation module that replaces at least one of the tokens in one or more selected license templates with one or more of the data items or rights expression elements to generate a license instance. Additionally, the system includes a license instance analysis module having sub-modules for validating and interpreting license instances, and a data parsing module for extracting data from created license instances.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2009Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignee: ContentGuart Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Edgardo Valenzuela, Eddie J. Chen, Thomas DeMartini, Joseph Zhung Yee Fung, Mai Nguyen, Vincent Hsiang Tieu, Duc Tran

Publication number: 20180010251Abstract: An installation having a housing, a substrate support (20) received in the housing, diffuser (42) for diffusing an inert gas towards the substrate support, and at least one head (30) defining an inner volume (V) opened opposite to the top, the head being provided with at least two electrodes (8, 8?, 8?) for creating an electric discharge and with an injector (7, 7?, 7?) for injecting a gaseous mixture towards the substrate. The injector has at least one injection tube (7, 7?, 7?) placed between two adjacent electrodes or between one electrode and a peripheral wall, the tube being provided with injection holes facing the substrate support, for injecting the gaseous mixture on the substrate, whereas diffuser is provided inside the head, the injection tube being placed between the substrate support and the diffuser so that, in use, the gaseous mixture is urged against the substrate by the inert gas.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2016Publication date: January 11, 2018Applicants: COATING PLASMA INDUSTRIE, VETAPHONE A/SInventors: Eric GAT, Minh Duc TRAN, Frank EISBY

Publication number: 20170358005Abstract: A device and systems for generating, tracking, distributing, and redeeming digital discounts are described. A consumer collects digital offers, or coupons, through an application on a mobile device. At the point of sale, the consumer's mobile device communicates with a transceiver unit wirelessly to deliver the list of collected coupons. The transceiver unit communicates with a component installed between a point of sale scanner and a point of sale terminal. The component communicates with a server to download additional offers that apply to the consumer's purchases. The component then delivers all applicable offers to the point of sale terminal to be applied. The digital offers may be distributed through a digital coupon exchange or may be delivered through an integration with broadcast television.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2015Publication date: December 14, 2017Inventors: Duc Tran, Joe Barbetta
