Patent number: 9743067Abstract: Methods and devices for generating a stereoscopic image are described. In one aspect, the electronic device includes a main body and a support rotatably coupled with the main body about an axis of rotation. The support is rotatable between a plurality of positions including a first position and a second position. The electronic device also includes a first camera module for generating first camera data and a second camera module for generating second camera data. The second camera module is positioned in spaced relation to the first camera module and coupled to the support away from the axis of rotation. The electronic device further includes a controller coupled with the first camera module and the second camera module.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2015Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Ryan Alexander Geris, Amandeep Singh Bhullar, William Keith Baker

Patent number: 9432323Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for providing notifications for different workspaces is provided. The device comprises a processor, a memory, and a notification device, the processor enabled to: manage a first workspace and a second workspace distinguished from each other by one or more of: data stored at the memory being associated with one or another of the first workspace and the second workspace; and accounts being associated with the one or the another of the first workspace and the second workspace; and, when a current workspace comprises the first workspace, control the notification device to present first notifications associated only with the first workspace, while second notifications associated with the second workspace are not presented.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2012Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: BLACKBERRY LIMITEDInventors: Ryan Alexander Geris, Hussein Bahadur Nagji, Garry Owen Morgan, Sidi El Becaye Maiga, William Keith Baker, Jason Lance Slupeiks

Patent number: 9148651Abstract: Methods and devices for generating a stereoscopic image are described. In one aspect, the electronic device includes a first camera for generating first camera data, a second camera for generating second camera data and a third camera for generating third camera data. The cameras are positioned on a same side of the electronic device and in spaced relation to each other. The electronic device also includes a controller coupled with the first camera, the second camera and the third camera. The controller is configured to: identify an orientation of the electronic device; and generate a stereoscopic image based on the first camera data and the second camera data when the electronic device is at a first orientation, and generate the stereoscopic image based on the first camera data and the third camera data when the electronic device is at a second orientation.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2012Date of Patent: September 29, 2015Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Ryan Alexander Geris, William Keith Baker, Amandeep Singh Bhullar

Publication number: 20090139972Abstract: A heatable electric connector for preventing frosting of an electrical connector of the heatable electric connector is provided. A heating element provides indirect heating or optionally direct heating of the electrical connector. A temperature controller senses an approximate temperature of the electrical connector and compares the connector temperature to a set-point temperature and either turns on or off the heating element thereby ensuring that the electrical connector is of a suitable temperature so that frost does not form and/or accumulate on the connector.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2008Publication date: June 4, 2009Applicant: PSION TEKLOGIX INC.Inventors: William Keith Baker, David MacGregor Taylor
