  • Patent number: 10979413
    Abstract: An MR code is generated within a browser on a client device and is read by a mobile application on a mobile device. A communication channel is then established through a web-based service, between the browser and the mobile application on the mobile device. The mobile application generates a user interface display on the mobile device that allows user selection of content. The mobile application sends a link to that content to the browser, which accesses and renders the content on the client device. User input commands to control the rendered content are also received at the mobile device and sent to the browser through the communication channel.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8289158
    Abstract: A mobile electronic device has a notification mechanism for notifying a user of device events in accordance with an active notification profile defining notification options and one or more exception notification profiles defining notification options based on specified attributes of a device event. A mechanism is provided for identifying one or more attributes in an incoming device event and for overriding the active notification profile with one of the exception notification profiles that has attributes corresponding to the identified attributes. The user is thus notified in accordance with notification options specified in the exception profile of the device.

  • Patent number: 3936017
    Abstract: In an aircraft with a multi-engine configuration at the aft end of the fuselage the engines lie on top and on either side with their air intakes so positioned that downward and sideways noise shielding is provided by the fuselage and the wings, the wings having rearwardly extendible flaps to substantially close at take off and landing, gaps in the noise shield that would otherwise exist between the intakes and the unextended wing trailing edges. The engines exhaust into a noise shielding duct the bottom and side walls of which are provided respectively by a fixed-incidence portion of the tail plane and a pair of fins and rudders upstanding from the tailplane. Upward and downward thrust reversal passages are obtained by rocking back an aft end portion of each engine housing and simultaneously tilting a hingedly mounted forward section of said fixed incidence tail plane portion.
