  • Patent number: 9460228
    Abstract: Delivery of a wrap package in reply to a notice of the occurrence of a trigger event sensed by a “Thing” among the Internet of Things. In response, a wrap package, including custom content presented within cards of the wrap is automatically generated. The custom content selectively encompasses, one or more media types, application functionality and/or e-commerce related services. A wrap descriptor, which defines the wrap package including the custom content, is then delivered to a computing device associated with a target recipient. When consumed, the computing device generates a runtime instance of the wrap package from the wrap descriptor.

  • Patent number: 4907814
    Abstract: A self-adjusting bearing comprises an elongate body portion of compressible, resilient material of truncated conical shape with a central cylindrical bore formed therethrough. A plurality of independent segments of wear-resistant material are secured to the inner surface of the body portion to form a liner adapted to make bearing contact with a component received within the bore. The segments are each of arcuate transverse section, the side edges of adjacent segments being spaced from one another and the arrangement being such that, on location of the bearing in an associated, correspondingly-tapered bore whereby the body portion is radially compressed, the radial forces established within the body portion urge the segments of the liner into bearing contact with the component within the bore of the body portion.
