  • Publication number: 20170091155
    Abstract: Generating a preview representative of a font is provided. A font typeface preview engine generates a preview font file comprising a plurality of font typeface preview elements, wherein each font typeface preview element is associated with a cloud-based font. The font typeface preview engine further generates a mapping file comprising location data mapping each font to a storage location of its associated font typeface preview element in the preview font file. The preview font file and the mapping file are transmitted to a client application executing on a computing device for rendering the plurality of font typeface preview elements as representations of the fonts in a font selection menu. The size of the preview font file can be kept very low. Thus, the computing device is enabled to render the font typeface preview elements with high fidelity, while saving memory allocation for fonts and reducing processor load.

  • Patent number: 9526807
    Abstract: The present invention provides a breathing assistance apparatus that has a convenient and effective method of cleaning internal conduits inside the apparatus. The breathing assistance apparatus is preferably a gases supply and humidification device. The cleaning method is a method of disinfection that is automated so minimal training is required to disinfect in particular an internal elbow conduit within the device. It is therefore not necessary to dismantle the gases supply and humidification device, therefore, inadvertent damage to the internal parts of the device is avoided. The present invention also provides a method of disinfecting a heated breathing conduit and a patient interface.

  • Publication number: 20160359805
    Abstract: A device is configured to support one or more virtual networking functions at a branch in a network. The device receives from a central control entity a command to deploy a particular virtual networking function, the command including or accompanied by a deployment file that identifies an external port at which the particular virtual networking function is accessed externally at the device. The device maps the external port to an internal port on an internal management network of the device, and stores a portmapping entry for the particular virtual networking function based on the mapping. The device sends to the central control entity a notification containing portmapping information that indicates the internal port to which the external port is mapped.

  • Patent number: 9507445
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to facilitate the display of data in conjunction with an image. In the context of a method, an image is caused to be presented and input is received via a rotatable dial wheel while the image is presented. The method also includes determining data to be presented based upon the input. In this regard, the method modifies the data to be presented in response so the rotation of the dial wheel. Further, the method causes the data that is determined based on the input to be presented concurrent with the image.
