Publication number: 20190116321Abstract: Dynamic display output techniques for computing systems and user devices are presented herein. Examples include downstream device-selectable outputs from a user device over a shared connector for HDMI and DisplayPort interfaces. In one example, a method of providing a display output from a user device includes detecting a downstream device communicatively coupled to the user device over a display connector. Responsive to detecting coupling of the downstream device, the method includes sensing a mode selection input by the downstream device through the display connector, and selectively providing at least video output over the display connector compatible with a preferred video interface indicated by the mode selection input.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2017Publication date: April 18, 2019Inventors: Gary Frank Grimm, Norman Taylor LeMieux

Patent number: 8307199Abstract: A highly configurable kernel supports a wide variety of content protection systems. The kernel may reside in a host that interacts with a secure processor maintaining content protection clients. After establishing communication with the secure processor, the host receives messages from content protection clients requesting rules for message handling operations to support client operations. This flexible configuration allows for dynamic reconfiguration of host and secure processor operation.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2011Date of Patent: November 6, 2012Assignee: Comcast Cable Holdings, LLCInventors: Kevin Norman Taylor, James Fahrny, William Lynn Helms, Azita Miahnahri Manson, Andrew T.

Patent number: 8298081Abstract: In various embodiments, the gaming system, gaming device, and gaming method disclosed herein utilizes a single display device to display at least one event indicator which conveys information that is otherwise displayed over a plurality of display devices. In one embodiment, the gaming system employs a multiple layered display device, wherein at least one layer of the display device displays the play of the primary game and at least one layer of the display device displays one or more event indicators. Such event indicators indicate information regarding the play of a secondary game displayed on a secondary display device. Such a configuration alleviates the player from having to frequently look up at the secondary display to determine information regarding the play of the secondary game and then look back down to the primary display to view the play of the primary game.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2011Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Assignee: IGTInventors: Brent Alan Merritt, Cullen Patrick O'Day, Cari L. Blomquist, David James Stoveld, Kevin Norman Taylor, George Gordon Ridge

Publication number: 20070251909Abstract: A flip-top cap is provided in which an upper portion is secured to a lower portion by means of a living hinge. An outer skirt forms a lever with an integral radial connecting wall on a side of the cap opposite the living hinge. The outer skirt and the radial connecting wall may be elastically deformed to permit a detent on the upper portion of the cap to escape a recess on the outer skirt for opening the cap. The radial connecting wall is lowered and thinned with respect to heretofore known designs, facilitating opening of the cap. Integral ribs are provided on the base and flip-top portions to prevent twisting and/or lateral movement of the upper portion that could allow for inadvertent opening of the cap.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2006Publication date: November 1, 2007Inventors: Gilles Decelles, Lisa Decelles, Annie Messier, Phillippe Rousseau, Norman Taylor
