  • Publication number: 20240111911
    Abstract: In one implementation, a method for spatially designating private content. The method includes: presenting, via a display device, an indication of a private viewing region relative to a location of the computing system; determining a first location for presentation of graphical content; and presenting, via the display device, the graphical content at the first location. The method further includes: transmitting a characterization vector associated with the graphical content to at least one other device for display thereon according to a determination that the first location of the graphical content is outside of the private viewing area; and forgoing transmission of the characterization vector associated with the graphical content to the at least one other device according to a determination that the first location of the graphical content is inside of the private viewing area.

  • Publication number: 20240074829
    Abstract: Tissue access devices and methods of using the same are disclosed. The devices can have a sensor configured to occlude a flow path by deflecting a membrane into the flow path when the devices become dislodged from tissue. The sensor can be configured to partially or fully occlude the flow path. The sensor can have a spring. The spring can be biased to move the sensor from a sensor first configuration to a sensor second configuration when a force applied by the sensor first surface against a non-sensor surface changes from a first force to a second force less than the first force. The membrane can be deflected into the flow path when the sensor is in the sensor second configuration.

  • Patent number: 11768535
    Abstract: A method is performed at an electronic device including one or more processors, a non-transitory memory, and a first input device. The method includes detecting, via the first input device, an input directed to a first location within a physical environment. The first location is identified by an extremity tracking function based on the input. The method includes determining an interaction event based on a function of a semantic identifier that is associated with a portion of the first location. The method includes presenting computer-generated content that is a function of the interaction event.

  • Patent number: 11008481
    Abstract: A method comprises forming a first structured pattern having a first line width on a substrate. A polymer brush is deposited on the structured pattern, which is annealed a first time at a first temperature and then annealed a second time at a second temperature higher than the first temperature. A block copolymer is deposited on the structured pattern and polymer brush, and aligned first block and second block structures are formed on the structured pattern and polymer brush. The first block structures and portions of the polymer brush and the structured pattern positioned beneath the first block structures are removed, and the substrate between the second block structures is exposed. The second block structures are then removed to form a second structured pattern in the substrate having a second line width, the second line width being smaller than the first line width.

  • Patent number: 10984013
    Abstract: A data intake and query system receives raw machine via an internet protocol (IP) such as the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP). The system has configurable global settings for the received raw machine data that determine properties such as the metadata that is associated with raw machine data. Each event is associated with a token, which is also configurable and provides settings such as metadata settings for the raw machine data. The raw machine data is stored as events based on the metadata. Electronic devices that generate raw machine data may transmit the raw machine data to the data intake and query system within HTTP messages. The HTTP messages may also include settings such as metadata for the raw machine data. The raw machine data is stored as events based on the global metadata settings, token metadata settings, and HTTP message metadata settings.

  • Publication number: 20200097484
    Abstract: A data intake and query system processes and stores events, which are associated with token identifiers for tokens corresponding to data sources for the messages that the events are generated from. Thus, the data intake and query system can receive a request to provide analyses and visualizations regarding stored events associated with a particular component associated with a plurality of events, such as a data source for the messages from which the plurality of events are generated from. These requests and the resulting visualizations can be customized based on selected tokens and selected components.

  • Patent number: 10534791
    Abstract: A data intake and query systems processes events received via the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP). The HTTP events are associated with tokens. The received events are received by event collectors and distributed for storage. The data intake and query system receives requests to provide analyses and visualizations regarding the stored HTTP events. These requests can be customized based on selected tokens and selected data storage components. The visualizations are generated in response to the requests, and transmitted to the requesting device.

  • Patent number: 8132584
    Abstract: A gazebo cover adaptable for gazebos having different sized canopies include a fabric panel having a central opening and a perimeter defining at least three adjacent perimeter portions. The fabric panel includes a plurality of centrally-converging gussets extending between the perimeter and the central opening. A closure, for example, a slide zipper, is provided for selectively opening the gussets to form a relatively large canopy sized to fit a predetermined large size canopy frame, and for selectively closing the gussets to form a relatively small canopy sized to fit a predetermined small size canopy frame. A peak cap is positioned over and attached to the central opening of the fabric panel for closing the central opening.

  • Publication number: 20110083814
    Abstract: A cord-operated roman shade includes a top rail for being mounted on and supporting a shade panel on a vertical surface, at least one cord attached to the bottom of the shade panel for raising the shade panel when the cord is pulled downwardly and lowering the shade panel when the cord is released and allowed to move upwardly. A cord guide positioned on the top rail includes an elongate body having two laterally spaced-apart, substantially right-angle cord guiding surfaces on which the cord moves during operation for converting downward pulling movement of the cord into the upward raising movement of the shade panel and converting upward releasing movement of the cord into downward lowering movement of the shade panel, and a plurality of vertically spaced-apart lift attachments carried by the shade panel through which the cord extends for relative movement during shade operation.

  • Publication number: 20050284299
    Abstract: A centrifugal gas/liquid separator for location in a liquid reservoir comprises a generally cylindrical wall defining a separation chamber having a closed end, an open end, an inlet in the cylindrical wall for supplying a gas/liquid mixture into the separation chamber, and a gas outlet located externally of the separation chamber for discharging gases from the separator. The separator defines at least one liquid flow path for conveying separated liquid from the open end of the separation chamber into a reservoir, and at least one gas flow path for conveying separated gases from a radially inner region of the open end of the separation chamber, externally of the separation chamber, to the gas outlet. The separator is particularly suitable for separating air/oil mixtures in an oil system of a gas turbine engine.
