  • Patent number: 9898271
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for embodiments of a mobile virtualization platform (MVP) that may be embedded in an end user mobile device or comprise part of the firmware loaded on the device. The MVP may implement a thin layer of software embedded on the device to decouple applications and data from the underlying hardware, thus enabling the device to concurrently run multiple operating systems. Furthermore, the MVP may enable applications to run concurrently per each base band.

  • Publication number: 20170373407
    Abstract: This invention is a connecting device for earth grounding aircraft and aerospace equipment. The connector assembly has two parts, an upper and lower. The upper part of the connector provides a receptacle to secure an aerospace chassis ground wire. An internal magnet holds the upper part to the lower part. The lower part is secured in the ground and is flush with the surrounding surface. It is subterraneously connected to a ground rod. Upon disconnection and removal of the upper part, the lower part stays in place and provides a smooth and unencumbered surface.

  • Patent number: 9654572
    Abstract: A profile-based system is employed to manage user identities and preferences, devices, content and/or other aspects of service delivery. The user profiles may be maintained in one or more servers or other elements located in an external network access via a customer premises equipment (CPE) gateway of a local network. The profiles can be used to map users to identities, devices, services, and other features that affect the manner in which a particular user communicates with (or through) the external network.

  • Patent number: 7717210
    Abstract: A vehicle for transporting a person has a chassis (103) and four wheels (105a, 105b, 150c, 105d) supporting the chassis above a ground surface. The wheels enable the vehicle to move along the ground surface. Each of the four wheels is adjustable in position to enable the wheelbase length and track width of the vehicle to be changed. Each of the wheels is steerable to enable the changes in the wheelbase length and the track width to be effected whether the vehicle is substantially stationary or in motion.
