  • Patent number: 10270207
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes a first housing. A second housing is moveable relative to the first housing and includes a travel peg. The electrical connector also includes a lever. The lever includes two lever arms that are joined by a handle. Each of the lever arms is attached to the first housing and allows relative rotational movement of the lever about a lever axis. The lever may be moved from a pre-stage position to a final position. The lever engages the travel peg to move the second housing linearly in an insertion direction from a pre-stage position to a seated position relative to the first housing. The travel peg moves along a peg path when the second housing is moved from the pre-stage position to the seated position. The peg path is located between the lever axis and the handle.

  • Patent number: 10255092
    Abstract: A system can include computer instructions that can cause a computing device to obtain a request to access an application on behalf of a user. The request can be obtained from a client device associated with the user. The computer instructions can further cause the computing device to determine whether the client device is required to execute a virtual machine that executes the application. The computer instructions can further cause the computing device to identify whether the virtual machine is installed in the client device. The computer instructions can further cause the computing device to cause the virtual machine to be installed in the client device.

  • Publication number: 20180059995
    Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for network printer detection and authentication for managed device deployment. In one example, a computing environment can access a listing of network printers received from a printer discovery service executed in an enterprise device in an intranet behind a firewall. A user group associated with a client device enrolled with a management service can be identified as well as at least one of the network printers assigned to the user group. The client device can be remotely configured to access the at least one of the network printers assigned to the user group.

  • Publication number: 20180063373
    Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for network printer detection and authentication for managed device deployment. In one example, a computing environment can receive an identifier from a client device over a network, where the client device detects the identifier based on a wireless transmission performed by a transmitter in association with a print operation assigned to a network printer. The computing environment can determine whether an authentication is required at the network printer in association with the print operation and cause an agent application executable on the client device to obtain authentication data. An authentication can be performed based on the authentication data received from the client device and, in response to a successful authentication, causes the print operation to be performed by the network printer.

  • Patent number: 9898456
    Abstract: A user interface and method for composing a message to be sent over a wireless network environment using a handheld device is disclosed. According to the method, upon receipt of a user request to compose a message, a screen is displayed with a recipient field for a recipient address, an associated label to indicate that the recipient field is for a recipient address, and a message body field for holding message content. The method further includes, upon each keystroke entry of text to the recipient field, looking up entries from an address book which match the text, and displaying a selection menu representing addresses from at least a portion of the entries as well as cached entries previously looked up from a global address book.

  • Patent number: 9796451
    Abstract: A boat comprising a wake shaping system comprising starboard and port wake shaping devices located aft of the transom. Each wake shaping device is operable to move between a first, non-deployed position behind the transom and a second, deployed position extending outside the side of the hull or below the transom. When the starboard wake shaping device is in the deployed position, a port wakesurf wake is created. When the port of the wake shaping device is in the deployed position, a starboard wakesurf wake is created. When neither wake shaping device is deployed, a symmetrical wakeboard wake is created.

  • Patent number: 9544196
    Abstract: Methods of determining status of advertised system management server (SMS) packages at a client device include receiving a request for a determination of the status from a user at the client device. Responsive to the received request and without further input from the user a plurality of SMS packages that have been advertised to the client device may be identified, an installation status of the identified plurality of SMS packages may be determined and a graphical user interface (GUI) may be generated. The GUI lists the identified plurality of SMS packages and provides a visual indication of the determined installation status of the listed plurality of SMS packages. The generated GUI may be displayed to the user on a display of the client device.

  • Patent number: 9259769
    Abstract: Apparatus for collecting waste cleaning fluid and debris resulting from a cleaning operation of a wall-mounted air handler assembly of a mini-split air conditioner. The apparatus is installed by placing and supporting a funnel-shaped collection bib under the air handler assembly by means of device-mounting brackets and a deflector plate inserted between the air handler assembly and the wall, the bib being held open by an arcuate rib attached to the mounting brackets and by a supporting cord passing through the rib, brackets, and bib hem and being cinched against the device.

  • Patent number: 9150289
    Abstract: A boat comprising a wake shaping system comprising starboard and port wake shaping devices located aft of the transom, each wake shaping plate device comprising a first mounting portion coupled to the transom and a second plate portion pivotably coupled to the first mounting portion. A portion of the second plate potion of each wake shaping device is operable to pivot approximately 90° between a first, non-deployed position behind the transom and a second, deployed position extending below the transom. When the portion of the second portion of the starboard wake shaping device is in the deployed position, a port wakesurf wake is created. When the portion of the second portion of the port of the wake shaping device is in the deployed position, a starboard wakesurf wake is created. When neither wake shaping device is deployed, a symmetrical wakeboard wake is created.
