  • Patent number: 9191346
    Abstract: A method is performed by an electronic communication device. The method includes storing electronic messages, and storing criteria for determining whether a stored message is related to a current message. A current electronic message is displayed to a user of the communication device, including the current message's outside address and message body. The relevance of each of the stored messages to the current message is assessed based on the previously-stored criteria. Those messages that meet the criteria are selected and displayed along with the current message.

  • Patent number: 9100861
    Abstract: A system and method for transporting user-requested framed data from a gateway device to a handheld viewing device includes an information source, a gateway device, a relay network and a handheld viewing device. The gateway device includes a fetch and cache component, storage, and a wireless transport layer. The wireless transport layer delivers content from the gateway to the handheld viewing device. The user of the handheld device is then graphically presented with a representative form of the data and is thus able to manually select certain frames of data through a user interface.

  • Patent number: 8897426
    Abstract: Systems and methods that control a voice mail experience from a client side of a voice mail server system and enhance features thereof. A dynamic voice mail user interface can change based on what predetermined activity the user engages in. Moreover, a field component further enables a caller to identify characteristics of the voice mail. An XML based protocol empowers a client application to control state of the voice mail system, wherein a session Initiation Protocol (SIP) INFO request or response can carry out voicemail control command, result and event.

  • Patent number: 8870102
    Abstract: An electrospray head for use in an electrospraying apparatus comprises a body with an internal surface defining a conduit having an inlet for receiving a fluid to be sprayed and an outlet for emitting the fluid. A movable wall forms a part of the internal surface defining the conduit, the movable wall being arranged to constrict or dilate the conduit upon operation of the actuator. The movable wall can thus control the delivery of fluid through the outlet from the conduit.

  • Publication number: 20120254765
    Abstract: This document describes tools capable of differentiating a superset of entities from which a user may receive current updates effective to provide current updates for only some of the entities of the superset. In one embodiment, for example, the tools enable a user of a mobile device to select a set of entities from which the user will automatically receive updates that are current, easily accessible, and visible at-a-glance. The tools may forgo providing current updates for entities that are not selected by the user, though the tools may provide these updates when explicitly requested by the user or at particular times or events.
