  • Patent number: 11526854
    Abstract: A method includes establishing a session between a first client device and a host device to run an application on the first client device. The method includes receiving an indication to transfer the session from the first client device to a second client device. The method includes storing, in response to receiving the indication, state information of the application for the session. The method includes generating a pointer associated with the session. The method includes generating a scannable code including the pointer. The method includes scanning the displayed scannable code using an imaging element associated with the second client device. The method includes transferring, using the pointer, the session from the first client device to the second client device using the stored state information so that a second display associated with the second client device displays a most recently updated instance of the application from the first client device.

  • Patent number: 11215232
    Abstract: The preferred embodiments of the present invention provide two advantageous features, which are especially beneficial in combination, but which can be advantageously and beneficially employed independently of one another: (1) firstly, a self-cooling motor bearing system; and (2) secondly, a self-lubricating motor bearing system. In the preferred embodiments, one or both of these two advantageous features are integrated inside an electric motor (e.g., within the electric motor's enclosure housing) in such a manner as to greatly enhance bearing operating conditions (e.g., maintaining adequate bearing lubrication and/or bearing operating temperature) without the use of external lubrication units and/or external cooling units.
