Abstract: A finger-mounted device may include finger-mounted units. The finger-mounted units may each have a body that serves as a support structure for components such as force sensors, accelerometers, and other sensors and for haptic output devices. The body may have sidewall portions coupled by a portion that rests adjacent to a user's fingernail. The body may be formed from deformable material such as metal or may be formed from adjustable structures such as sliding body portions that are coupled to each other using magnetic attraction, springs, or other structures. The body of each finger-mounted unit may have a U-shaped cross-sectional profile that leaves the finger pad of each finger exposed when the body is coupled to a fingertip of a user's finger. Control circuitry may gather finger press input, lateral finger movement input, and finger tap input using the sensors and may provide haptic output using the haptic output device.

Abstract: A process for end-capping a dimethylsilanol terminated polydiorganosiloxane with one or more di, tri and/or tetra alkoxysilanes in the presence of a basic end-capping catalyst starting material is provided. An acidic stabilizing/neutralising agent is subsequently added. The acidic stabilizing/neutralising agent is selected from one or more fatty acids having from 8 to 26 carbons; an alkane sulphonic acid having from 1 to 10 carbons; acidic fumed silica and/or one or more acidic liquid polybutadienes or a mixture thereof. The resulting capped polymeric material may be utilized as a polymer in, e.g., an organopolysiloxane elastomer composition.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of a one-component alkoxy-functional room temperature vulcanisable (RTV) composition, cured with a tin-based catalyst, is provided. The RTV composition is useful as a silicone sealant composition. The silicone sealant composition is designed for compositions comprising an alkoxy end-capped polydiorganosiloxane polymer, filler, a cross-linker and a tin-based catalyst. The process is designed to enable in-situ treatment of fillers, while seeking to reduce the presence of —OH group scavengers in the silicone sealant composition, especially during storage.

Abstract: A process for end-capping a dimethylsilanol terminated polydiorganosiloxane with one or more di, tri and/or tetra alkoxysilanes in the presence of an end-capping catalyst starting material is provided. The end-capping catalyst starting material comprises one or more linear, branched or cyclic molecules comprising at least one amidine group, guanidine group, or derivatives of the amidine group and/or guanidine group or a mixture thereof. The resulting capped polymeric material may be utilized as a polymer in, e.g., a polydiorganosiloxane elastomer composition.

Abstract: An integral modified polyolefin resin/silicone elastomer layered article is provided together with a method for its production. The integral polyolefin-based resin/silicone elastomeric material article comprises a shaped layer of a polyolefin-based copolymer or grafted polyolefin. It contains silyl trialkoxy groups, carboxylic acid groups and/or —OH groups. A silicone elastomeric material layer is subsequent to being cured from a hydrosilylation curable silicone elastomer composition comprising one or more adhesion promoters.

Abstract: Data processing and an accelerator system therefor are described. An embodiment relates generally to a data processing system. In such an embodiment, a bus and an accelerator are coupled to one another. The accelerator has an application function block. The application function block is to process data to provide processed data to storage. A network interface is coupled to obtain the processed data from the storage for transmission.

Abstract: This disclosure provides a method and system of providing a supplemental user interface (UI) operatively associated with a device, such as a multifunctional device (MFD) or multifunctional printer (MFP). According to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, an accessibility UI is provided by a portable computer device, e.g., off-the-shelf tablet, where the table includes a container application including a collection of walk-up user applications to operate the MFD, a set of tablet user environment' configuration applications and a set of helper applications that operate in the background and/or provide transitory screens, such as authentication for operating the MFD.

Abstract: A portable computing device is connected to another device that has an optical scanner and a facsimile modem. An application on the portable computing device causes the optical scanner to scan an item and causes the separate device to transmit the electronic image of the scanned item to the portable computing device. The application receives facsimile information into a graphic user interface of the portable computing device. Then, the application creates a facsimile file by combining the electronic image and the facsimile information. The facsimile file is transmitted to the separate device, and the application causes the separate device to send the converted electronic image as a facsimile using the facsimile information contained within the facsimile file. The portable computing device receives the result of the attempt to send the facsimile from the separate device, and this result is displayed on the graphic user interface of the portable computing device.

Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and apparatus for selectively activating a universal serial bus (USB) port are disclosed. For example, the method receives a predefined list of services that are acceptable to work with the USB port, configures the USB port based on the predefined list of services, receives an indication that a service is requested via the USB port and provides the service via the USB port when the USB port is configured to provide the service based on the predefined list of services.

Abstract: A wireless communication device of a first device detects a pattern of taps made with a wireless communication device of a second device. A processor of the first device automatically interprets the pattern of taps as a command from a plurality of tap pattern-based commands. Functional elements of the first device automatically perform an operation corresponding to the command to fully execute the command based only on the pattern of taps. Each of the taps comprises the distance between the first device and the second device changing from a first distance to a second distance and returning to at least the first distance within a predetermined period of time, and the first distance is at least twice as large as the second distance. Also, different patterns of taps represent different commands of the tap pattern-based commands.

Abstract: In a network comprising printers and print servers which retain queues of print jobs, a user is able to survey and view selected portions of the network, either by enumerating printers to be queried directly, or by enumerating servers. By providing substantially simultaneous “views” of printers and queues in servers, problems within a large network can be readily isolated.
