Abstract: This specification describes connectors for tubes, pipes and poles, such as can be used in laser marking systems. In one aspect, an apparatus includes a body having a hole formed to receive a tube to connect an interior of the tube with an interior of the body, the tube having a circular groove formed in an exterior surface of the tube; and a clamp including a tab sized to fit within the circular groove of the tube; wherein the clamp is configured and arranged to attach to the body in a first state and in a second state, the first state being where the tube is held to the body axially by the tab and is freely rotatable, and the second state being where the tube is held in a fixed position relative to the body.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for multi-coil wireless power transfer. The system includes a first transmitting coil disposed within a lower portion of a wireless charger, and a second transmitting coil disposed within a side portion of the wireless charger. The system further includes a communications module configured to receive a signal from an information handling system. The information handling system includes a receiving coil. The system additionally includes a transmit module configured to determine an orientation of the receiving coil, and provide a first current to the first transmitting coil and a second current to the second transmitting coil based on the orientation of the receiving coil.

Abstract: Oral compositions containing high purity barium sulfate particles, preferably greater than 97.5% barium sulfate by weight of the particles, and an orally-acceptable carrier are effective for polishing or cleaning teeth and also exhibit enhanced fluoro compound and/or peroxide stability.

Abstract: A removably attachable wheel cover for attaching to the wheels of a conventional skateboard having bolted wheels includes a decorative sidewall cover having a decorative side and an attachment side defined by a substantially flat, smooth surface that includes a securing slot and a plurality of adhesive portions. The decorative sidewall cover is secured to the bolted wheel through both a nylon rope tether and the engagement of the adhesive portions with the sidewall surface of the wheel. In some wheel configurations, the attachment side will be positioned flush against a target wheel while in wheel configurations where the connecting bolt extends beyond the profile of the wheel, it is contemplated that the adhesive portions will include extension members which extend the adhesive surface of the adhesive portions to the sidewall surface of the wheel without requiring the attachment side to be positioned flush against a target wheel.

Abstract: The present disclosure provide embodiments of an apparatus and method for selecting a line from two or more lines on a communication device. In accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure, there is provided a method, comprising: detecting initiation of an outgoing call from a communication device to a target party, the communication device having at least two lines; identifying the target party in contact information; determining which of the at least two lines is associated with the target party; in response to the detecting the initiation of the outgoing call, operating the communication device to make the outgoing call to the target party using the associated line.

Abstract: Embodiments of a system and method for providing a user interface for managing calls received at a mobile device is described. The user interface provides an incoming call screen to the user, where the incoming call screen comprises a caller identification data field for displaying data associated with incoming calls and at least one key label field in which labels for mobile device keys (e.g. send and end keys) are displayed. The area of the caller identification data field is substantially greater than the area of the at least one key label field, enabling more information pertaining to incoming calls to be displayed to the user. In at least one embodiment, this is facilitated by providing user-selectable options for responding to incoming calls in an options menu, which can be accessed by a user but is not initially displayed to the user when an incoming call is first received.

Abstract: To provide a consistent (i.e., single-mode) user interface in each mode of operation available on a multi-mode mobile terminal, aspects of the user interface used for a second mode (e.g., the CDMA mode) are emulated by the mobile terminal when the mobile terminal is operating in a first mode (e.g., the GSM mode). Responsive to receiving, while operating in a first mode, an indication of a given user interface interaction, the multi-mode mobile terminal determines the call state. Based on the given user interface interaction and the call state, the multi-mode mobile terminal selects a candidate message corresponding to operation of the multi-mode mobile terminal in a second mode. The multi-mode mobile terminal then converts the candidate message to one or more first-mode messages and transmits the one or more first-mode messages to the MSC at the second wireless network subsystem.

Abstract: A method of controlling a portable electronic device includes detecting a touch on a touch-sensitive display, adjusting a first threshold based on detected conditions during the touch, comparing a value related to the touch on the touch-sensitive display to the first threshold, and when the value related to touch meets the first threshold, turning off the display.

Abstract: A telephone station apparatus that is arranged to operate on two, or more, communication lines, receives an instruction to access a voicemail server. The telephone station apparatus switches from a first communication line to a second communication line and initiates a call to the voicemail server. At the voicemail server, calling line identification allows the voicemail server to present an interface to the voicemail box associated with the second communication line.

Abstract: The invention relates to relatively light and thermally stable granulated, fermentation-broth-based animal feed additives having a high content of L-lysine and to low-loss methods for their production from broths obtained by fermentation.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include cell culture liquid/gas-phase chamber devices and related methods that allow measurement of gas-phase components and their production rate as well as substances/mediators released into media by cultured cells in response to various stimuli. In embodiments disclosed herein, these chamber devices are cell culture liquid/gas-phase chamber devices. The gas and liquid phase compartments are separated by the cell culture liquid/gas-phase chamber devices so that there is no, or minimal, physico-chemical interaction between the liquid and gas phase compartments. As an example, these cell culture liquid/gas-phase chamber devices can be used to study the effects of various pharmacologic agents or other interventions on healthy or diseased cell metabolism by assessing a release of metabolic products in liquid (culture media) and the headspace under standardized conditions.
