Publication number: 20240143319Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for determining a version of an application for a user to access based at least in part an overall posture of the user and the device launching the application. An application can support multiple delivery mechanisms to allow a user different ways to access the service provided by the application. A posture level (e.g., level of risk, level of compliance) associated with the overall posture of a device and user accessing an application is determined. The posture level can be used to select which version of the application should be launched by the device in order to provide the best experience for the user while ensuring that security is considered.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Steven DeJarnett, Peter Björk, Martin Kniffin, Frank Stephen Taylor

Publication number: 20240143905Abstract: A method for partially publishing edits to a document is described. A first document including a first cell and a second cell is displayed on first user account on a first computing device and on a second user account. A second document including a linked version of the first cell and a linked version of the second cell is displayed. An edit of the first cell is received from the first user account and an edit of the second cell is received. In response to receiving an indication from the first user account that the edit of the first cell is to be published, the edit of the first cell is made to the linked version of the first cell, while the linked version of the second cell is unchanged so that the content of the linked version of the second cell no longer matches that of the second cell.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2024Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Hannah Joy Deering, Thieu Van Tran Pham, Travis Smith, Edward Joseph Cupps, Aaron David Hall, Matthew Peter Hinrichsen, Ryan A.

Patent number: 11934758Abstract: A method for dynamically generating or interacting with an electromagnetic field includes providing a spatial array of conductive segments, a switching device operable on each of the conductive segments to either allow or block transmission of an electrical signal and a control device operable on the switching device. A sequence of the conductive segments are connected to form a conductive path where each segments intersects with at least two different ones of the conductive segments at a node. The switching device operates to connect a selected first one of the conductive segments with a selected second one of the conductive segments to form the sequence according to a logic signal from the control device. Power is supplied to the conductive path to produce an electromagnetic field which depends at least in part on the spatial arrangement of the connected sequence of the conductive segments.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: 11886894 Canada Ltd.Inventors: David Allan Prystupa, John Stephen Pacak, Peter Condie Nell

Patent number: 11242122Abstract: A thin air bag/bladder, which when packaged and attached to an air valve system is inserted into an inflatable boat, or inflatable structure to repair a puncture or leak. This valve and adapter system is used to fasten and lock the valve structure in place during use. After attachment to the air valve system, the packaged bag is inserted into the inflatable structure with a collapsible tent pole/stick through the pre-existing valve opening with newly installed adapter. A valve system and bag/bladder will be needed for each separate air chamber of the boat design, whatever the length, diameter, or number of individual chambers. This will allow a replacement bag to be user retrofitted at any later time, whenever needed to repair a puncture or leakage, in any inflatable boat, life-raft or inflatable device.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2019Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Inventor: Peter Stephen Heberling, II

Publication number: 20170189155Abstract: An apparatus (100) for automatically detecting a status of an oestrus indicator associated with an animal is disclosed. The apparatus (100) comprises a structure having two substantially parallel barrier means (1) and moveable barrier means (2) for selectively preventing an animal from proceeding between the parallel barrier means (1). A camera (11) is provided for capturing an electronic image of an area of interest of the animal (A), the area of interest comprising an area of the animal (A) which the oestrus indicator is usually associated with or attached to. Processing means (300) determine a status of the oestrus indicator based on the image. Animal position sensing means (6) are also provided, wherein, in use, closing of the moveable barrier means (1) is dependent on the animal position sensing means (6) detecting that a required portion of the animal (A) has moved past the moveable barrier means (1).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2015Publication date: July 6, 2017Inventors: Andrew David CROSBY, Christopher Lewis ANDERSON, Peter Stephen CROSS
