  • Publication number: 20240100817
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus for installing a screen protector on an electronic device is disclosed. The apparatus includes a support member and a first assembly. The support member has an upper support surface configured to support an electronic device. The first assembly includes a first member and an actuator. When the electronic device with a screen protector positioned thereon is supported on the upper support surface of the support member, actuating the actuator of the first assembly causes the first member to move into contact with the screen protector and to apply a force onto the screen protector to tack the screen protector to the electronic device.

  • Patent number: 11917248
    Abstract: A method for recommending feed sources in an event feed includes generating an event feed comprising a plurality of feed items associated with a user. The event feed includes a recommendation feed item comprising one or more feed item sources not being followed by the user. The method further includes causing at least a portion of the event feed to be displayed to the user in the event feed. In accordance with a determination that the user is viewing a graphical user interface associated with a first software application, the recommendation feed item includes feed item sources associated with the first software application. In accordance with a determination that the user is viewing a graphical user interface associated with a second software application different from the first, the recommendation feed item includes feed item sources associated with the second software application.

  • Patent number: 11840051
    Abstract: An apparatus and/or method for installing a screen protector on an electronic device, for example using a wet application process. The apparatus includes a support member for supporting the electronic device and a clamp mechanism for clamping the electronic device in a fixed position on the support member. A tack assembly is used to tack the screen protector to the electronic device. The tack assembly includes an actuator that, once actuated, causes a tack member to apply a force onto the screen protector which tacks the screen protector to the electronic device and prevents misalignment. Finally, a roller assembly is actuated so that a roller member moves across the screen protector to bond the screen protector to the electronic device and remove any excess liquid that may exist between the screen protector and the electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20230318644
    Abstract: Methods and systems for interference management are described. Methods and systems can be used for minimizing interference among communication and/or electronic devices. Interference data can be gathered/received from interference sources such as weather and natural patterns, various electronic devices, and one or more network protocols. The interference data can be used to generate interference patterns of each interference source in an interference map. The interference map can be used to determine how a particular interference pattern can affect a system. The interference map can also be used to evaluate a new source of interference (e.g., cordless phones, weather conditions) to determine how a system can be affected. The interference data can also be associated with an interference signature (e.g., an interference pattern, a fingerprint) for an interference source in a database. The database can be used based on the interference signature to identify known and/or unknown interference sources.

  • Publication number: 20050086389
    Abstract: A self-powered wireless network adapter device that provides convenient wireless access to a wired network environment by simply plugging the device into a network port. The device is a networking device that offers users a method to eliminate messy wiring when connecting to a network on the road. Once the device is inserted into the port, the user can immediately access the network with their wireless device and transfer files, access email, or browse the Internet. Rechargeable batteries allow the device to be self-powered and recharged. A universal serial bus connector is provided for recharging the device via a USB port. The invention further provides wireless communication capabilities via the USB connector for devices without wireless communication abilities by plugging the invention into the device's USB port. The invention not only provides wireless access to wired networks, but also allows non-wireless electronic devices to become capable of wireless communication.

  • Patent number: 4679527
    Abstract: A magnetic brush developer includes a magnetic brush roll having a magnet assembly which includes a development magnet, positioned at the nip between the magnetic brush roll and a photoconductive surface, at least one transport magnet and a pre-nip magnet arranged between the development magnet and the transport magnet adjacent the development magnet and so spaced from the transport magnet so as to create a tangential field therebetween. A mix barrier is arranged between the transport magnet and the pre-nip magnet to limit the flow of developer mix from a supply source to the developer nip. This combination enables the maintenance of stable flow rates and pressures of the developer mix at the development zone with non-critical tolerancing of the mix barrier.
