  • Publication number: 20160191576
    Abstract: A method of conducting a collaborative event comprises receiving, by at least one computing device, a shared file from a participant computing device joined to the collaborative event; displaying the shared file on at least one interactive board in communication with the at least one computing device during the collaborative event; and sending an updated shared file from the at least one computing device to the participant computing device, the updated shared file comprising at least user input injected into the received shared file using the at least one interactive board.

  • Publication number: 20160050280
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are provided for establishing bidirectional communication among computing devices. In some aspects, a wireless access establishes a communication link with a first computing device. The access point identifies, based on communications between the first computing device and the access point, an application executed on the first computing device. The access point determines that a second computing device that is in communication with the access point can present outputs generated by the application and generate input events usable by the application. The access point transmits a notification to the first computing device that the second computing device is accessible via the access point. The access point can transmit the notification based on determining that the second computing device can present the outputs and generate the input events that are usable by the application.

  • Patent number: 9052745
    Abstract: A multi-monitor computer system includes a plurality of display devices communicating with at least one computing device executing an application management procedure. The application management procedure enables an application window available on one display device to be moved entirely to another display device by selecting the other display device from a dialog box displayed in response to a pointer-dragging input gesture on the application window.

  • Patent number: 8619027
    Abstract: A tool tray for an interactive input system comprises a housing having an upper surface defining at least one receptacle sized to receive a tool for interacting with an interactive surface, a sensor configured to detect the presence of the tool within the receptacle and at least one display in communication with the sensor. The display is configured to present a pointer attribute selection screen upon removal of the tool from the receptacle.

  • Patent number: 7267392
    Abstract: A utility trailer transport system is disclosed, wherein the utility trailer in the form of a pop-up camper is rotatably mounted via one of a plurality of structures on a transport trailer. The camper is positioned in one orientation for transport and a second orientation for use. A bed on the transport trailer serves to transport equipment and as a deck when the camper is in the second orientation.

  • Patent number: 5853068
    Abstract: An automotive fluid service machine for changing fluids such as automatic transmission fluid, power steering fluid, and engine coolant, includes a cabinet with a unitary integral fluid reservoir defined by a lower portion of the machine cabinet. This lower cabinet portion which integrally defines the fluid reservoir also provides a machinery deck to which the components of the machines are mounted. A cap portion of the cabinet provides a cavity for protecting the components mounted to the machinery deck and also provides a control panel for the machine in addition to providing fluid fill and drainage basins improving the convenience and safety of use for the machine. The safety of a service area is improved by the machine because a very low center of gravity for the machine reduces the risk of tipping of a machine and of spilling fluids. Thus, environmental concerns from such spills as well as the risk of personnel slips and falls on spilled fluids are reduced.

  • Patent number: 5806629
    Abstract: A fail-safe transmission service machine allows old ATF to be pumped out of a transmission while the vehicle engine runs, and responsively pumps a matching volume of new ATF into the transmission so that dry running of the transmission can not occur. If the supply of new ATF runs out or if power to the service machine is interrupted, the machine reverts to closed loop fluid circulation for the transmission. A hydraulic rectifier provides for universal connection of hoses between the transmission cooler fluid circulation loop of the vehicle and the service machine. An alternative embodiment of the machine allows for similarly fail-safe exchange of power steering fluid from a vehicle, and replacement of the old fluid with new power steering fluid.
