  • Patent number: 11656688
    Abstract: A system for provisioning information to a user comprises a first display for displaying information for an application executing on an information handling system and a second display with a first zone for displaying information associated with the application and a second zone for displaying information associated with the information handling system. A biometric sensor determines which display the user is viewing. If the user is viewing the first display, eye tracking software determines actions based on the application. If the user is viewing the second display, eye tracking software determines if the user is viewing the first zone or the second zone. If the user is viewing the first zone, advanced or additional information associated with the application is displayed. If the user is viewing the second zone, advanced or additional information associated with the information handling system is displayed.

  • Patent number: 10901389
    Abstract: Techniques for error handling by a servomechanism are disclosed. The servomechanism determines, based on a first set of values assigned to servomechanism variables, electrical signals for controlling a component during a particular time interval, and applies the electrical signals to move the component. Subsequently, the servomechanism measures values for attributes associated with the component. Based on the measured attribute values, the servomechanism computes a second set of values for the servomechanism variables. Responsive to determining that the measured attribute values are erroneous, the servomechanism refrains from modifying the electrical signals based on the second set of values for the servomechanism variables.

  • Patent number: 8557808
    Abstract: Compounds, compositions and methods are provided that comprise selective ?-glucuronidase inhibitors for both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, especially enteric bacteria normally associated with the gastrointestinal tract. The compounds, compositions and methods can be for inhibiting bacterial ?-glucuronidases and for improving efficacy of camptothecin-derived antineoplastic agents or glucuronidase-substrate agents or compounds by attenuating the side effects caused by reactivation by bacterial ?-glucuronidases of glucuronidated metabolites of camptothecin-derived antineoplastic agents or glucuronidase-substrate agents or compounds.

  • Patent number: 7464907
    Abstract: A bracket assembly to suspend objects comprising a bracket and a cap assembly. The bracket has a mounting plate that comprises a front surface and a rear surface. The bracket also has a U-shaped bracket having first and second arms that perpendicularly extend from the front surface. The U-shaped bracket defines first and second interior side edges and an interior rear edge. The cap assembly works in combination with a container. The cap assembly comprises a cap head, a bottom edge, and a ring. The ring has a first outside diameter that is larger than a distance between said first and second interior side edges to suspend the cap assembly in combination with the container from the bracket.

  • Patent number: 7255313
    Abstract: A bracket assembly to suspend objects, having a bracket and a suspending tab assembly for organizing objects in a suspended manner. The bracket comprises a rear and front wall joined at a top edge and a bottom edge. An interior seam defines the interior area where the rear wall and the front wall join. The front wall comprises at least one aperture having a longitudinal channel defined by edges. The suspending tab assembly comprises a generally elongated torso having a first tab at its distal end. The first tab is shaped to snugly fit within the at least one aperture. Opposite the first tab, the torso has a second tab. The second tab has adhesive means. A peel-off sticker initially covers the second tab to prevent unwanted matter from sticking to the adhesive means. The rear face of the rear wall also has adhesive means and also has a peel-off sticker.

  • Patent number: 6722564
    Abstract: An automated media library gathers information about each readable cartridge label using a camera. From the label information, the orientation of the cartridge may be determined. For each cartridge with an unreadable label or no label, the media library attempts a get/put operation. If the get/put operation fails, the cartridge is marked as incorrectly oriented. Alternatively, the tape library may attempt a get/put operation on all removable media cartridges. A similar process is performed when a cartridge access port is closed and the cartridge access port is marked inaccessible to the host when an incorrectly oriented cartridge is detected.
