  • Patent number: 11775167
    Abstract: The technology provides for an electronic device with gesture detection. In this regard, the device may include a housing, and one or more sensors positioned along an inner periphery of the housing. The sensors may be adapted to detect user interaction with an outer surface of the housing. The device may further include one or more processors in communication with the plurality of sensors.

The sensors may be adapted to detect user interaction with an outer surface of the housing. The device may further include one or more processors in communication with the plurality of sensors. The one or more processors may be configured to determine the user interaction and to determine a type of gesture based on the detected user interaction, determine a type of input command based on the determined gesture, and execute a task corresponding to the determined type of input command.

  • Patent number: 11252535
    Abstract: A device, system and method for transmitting a response command to a radio using a visualization of locations of radios and communication links therebetween is provided. A device generates a visualization of respective locations of radios and communication links therebetween, the visualization distinguishing between the radios that are inside a coverage area of a communication network and a first radio that is outside of the coverage area, the visualization indicating a second radio in communication with the first radio via a local communication link. The device detects an input indicating a response command associated with the first radio. The device determines a routing path from the computing device to a given radio of the radios that are inside the coverage area. The device transmits, to the given radio, via the routing path, the response command.

  • Patent number: 11157529
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for identifying the interoperability status between discrete components within a converged infrastructure system. One or more analyses of multiple datasets related to components or objects within the system are implemented, using the relationships that have been defined for the components, with the goal of determining the interoperability status of those components. The interoperability evaluation system comprises a request controller and an interoperability service module. The request controller receives a request of interoperability analysis from a user interface for a specified system configuration. The interoperability service module implements an interoperability analysis, with interactions with an element database and a customer profile database via an element DB API and an inventory common API respectively. Upon completion of the analysis, interop evaluation result is sent back to the user interface.

  • Publication number: 20070172950
    Abstract: Novel lipid-nucleic acid particulate complexes which are useful for in vitro or in vivo gene transfer are described. The particles can be formed using either detergent dialysis methods or methods which utilize organic solvents. Upon removal of a solubilizing component (i.e., detergent or an organic solvent) the lipid-nucleic acid complexes form particles wherein the nucleic acid is serum-stable and is protected from degradation. The particles thus formed have access to extravascular sites and target cell populations and are suitable for the therapeutic delivery of nucleic acids.

  • Patent number: 7047526
    Abstract: A processor based system having a parser is configured for validating a generic command received from a user relative to a command parse tree. The command parse tree includes multiple elements, each specifying at least one corresponding generic command component and a corresponding at least one command action value. The parser, upon identifying a best match among the elements, issues a prescribed command for a selected one of the management programs according to the corresponding command format based on the selected command action value. Hence, a user may control multiple management programs having respective command formats, by using a set of generic commands that are independent from the command formats, eliminating the necessity that the user needs to learn the detailed command formats and syntax.

  • Publication number: 20050144812
    Abstract: A cover for a lace-up football boot has a continuous, elastically expandable sleeve (1). The sleeve is, in use, stretched around the boot so that the latter extends through the sleeve with the toe of the boot protruding from the end of the sleeve, and that the underside of the sleeve engages the portion of the underside of the boot in a region between the heal and the toe (i.e. under the arch of the foot). This engagement between the sleeve and the boot is sufficient to hold the sleeve in position on the boot in use, the sleeve also covering the bootlaces to prevent the latter from untying. At least part of the cover may also be transparent so as to reveal ornamental features or indicia on the boot.

  • Patent number: 6858224
    Abstract: Particle aggregation of lipid:nucleic acid complex particles is prevented by incorporating a non-cationic lipid into lipid:nucleic acid complex particles containing a cationic lipid and a nucleic acid polymer. The non-cationic lipid is a polyethylene glycol-based polymer.
