Abstract: A filter material composing a ceramic clay having an interconnected network of pores formed from cellulose fiber combustion is useful for removing chemical and biological contaminants from a water supply. Coating the ceramic clay with lanthanum enhances the removal of anionic species of As(V), As(III), Cr(VI), microbes and virus.

Abstract: Systems and methods for server-side rendering of native content for presentation within an environment of an application are provided. A method includes receiving, by a data processing system, from a client device, a request for content including a content slot identifier identifying a particular content slot provided by a resource; accessing, using the content slot identifier, a database to identify a presentation schema used to arrange content components to generate rendered content files according to a specific configuration for display within an environment of the resource; identifying, responsive to the request for content, a content asset including a plurality of content components; rendering, as a rendered content file, the plurality of content components based on the presentation schema corresponding to the content slot; and transmitting, by the data processing system, the rendered content file to the client device for display within the content slot of the resource.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for outputting alarm notifications. The method comprises: prior to activating an alarm on the electronic device, determining, from data stored on the electronic device, whether at least one of a predetermined type of event exists; and outputting a first modified alarm notification to indicate a relatively more urgent alarm if at least one of the predetermined type of event exists.

Abstract: A method of dialing a phoneword using a mobile communication device that has full keyboard, which maps numbers to letters differently than on standard telephone keypads. The method detects the prefix of the phoneword and proceeds to display a message on the mobile communication device to indicate that a pre-determined key needs to be pressed before entering letters of the phoneword. The method can also display for selection, candidate phonewords that correspond to a partial entry of the phoneword.

Abstract: An electronic device may include multiple faces, an application launch input element, a memory that stores multiple applications, and a processor that accesses the memory. In response to a detected trigger of the application launch input element, the processor determines the orientation of the device. For example, the processor may determine which face of the electronic device is pointed in a predetermined direction. Based on the determined orientation of the device, the processor selects and activates a specific application from the multiple available applications.

Abstract: An apparatus, and an associated method, disables the functionality of a portion of a user interface of a communication device, such as a wireless device, for a limited period. A detector detects an alert, (such as an alert communication activity,) such as the delivery at the communication device of notification of a communication termination at the communication device. Responsive to the detection, a portion of the user interface is disabled by a disabler. Disabling of the portion of the user interface is for a limited period and prevents a user of the device from inadvertently rejecting, or accepting the terminating communication until the limited period expires.

Abstract: An electronic device may include a connection status determination processor, an application selection processor, an application launch input element, and one or more connection interfaces. In response to a trigger of the application launch input element, the connection status determination processor determines a status of the connection interfaces. The application selection processor selects and activates an application based on the status of the connection interfaces. For example, the application selection processor may activate a different application when the connection interfaces reflect a first active connection state than when the one or more connection interfaces reflect a second active connection state.

Abstract: A routing system operably links a mobile platform to the Internet. The system includes a ground based communications link manager linkable to the mobile platform. At least one ground based prefix server can communicate with the communications link manager. An initial Internet address is assigned to the mobile platform. A prefix server program communicates the initial destination address of the mobile platform to the communications link manager and to the Internet. During a travel segment of the mobile platform a new destination address can be communicated to the Internet using the prefix server to maintain communication between the mobile platform and the Internet.

Abstract: The invention comprises substituted diazaindole-dicarbonyl-piperazinyl derivatives of general Formula I wherein: Q is selected from the group consisting of — may represent a bond; T is —C(O)— or —CH(CN)—; and —Y— is selected from the group consisting of compositions thereof and their use for treating HIV infection.

Abstract: Fibrous mat, e.g. glass fiber, having a sheet facing on one face is wound in continuous lengths with minimum tension, compression, shear and working during the winding and with a large open center. The coils are compressed by a straight line compression generally normal to the major face of the mat and packaged with greater compression than heretofore acceptable in view of the recovery of insulation thickness upon installation. Nearly complete recovery is experienced. Further, stresses on the coiled material during compression and packaging are insufficient to destroy the longitudinal integrity even when it is skip chopped in a manner which separates more readily than prior skip chopped strip.
