  • Publication number: 20240143319
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20240143905
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11934758
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11408525
    Abstract: This invention is a new and novel embodiment of inflation valve for an inflatable boat or article, which also incorporates a separate and internal pressure release valve to allow the release of air when needed due to the rise of internal pressure inside said boat caused by temperature changes during the day, or any other over-pressure situation which could cause a rupture of the seams or outer shell.

  • Patent number: 11242122
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10022097
    Abstract: A medical imaging system for reconstructing quantitative dynamic nuclear medicine images of a subject may include a three dimensional positron emission tomography (3D PET) scanner and a data processing system. The three dimensional positron emission tomography (3D PET) scanner may: perform scans of the subject at each of multiple bed positions, each scan being of only a sub-portion of the subject that is within an axial length covered by the scanner; and generate dynamic list-mode PET data that: represents a total number of photon pairs arriving at each of multiple detector pairs in the 3D PET scanner; and is organized in a list of elements, each element in the list including a detector pair index and an arrival time for each detected photon pair; and acquires PET data using a dynamic PET protocol with at least two scans at each of the multiple bed positions.

  • Patent number: 9832052
    Abstract: A modulation scheme for use in a digital mobile radio communications system. The modulation scheme uses a four slot time-division multiple access scheme with 12.5 kHz channels. Each 12.5 kHz channel contains plural sub-carriers and each sub-carrier is modulated with a modulation scheme that encodes at least 4 bits per symbol. The modulation scheme can be used in a standalone mobile radio communications system, or in a hybrid mobile radio communications system that also uses standard TETRA modulation schemes.

  • Publication number: 20170189155
    Abstract: 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).

  • Patent number: 9450797
    Abstract: A scheme for indicating the presence of stealing or other information in a digital mobile radio communications system. A sequence of pilot symbols and/or synchronization symbols that can be distinguished from a normal sequence of pilot symbols and/or synchronization symbols is included in a transmission to indicate the presence of stealing. A receiver determines whether a received transmission includes the stealing sequence or the normal sequence and decodes the transmission accordingly.
