Abstract: A user may provide input to a handheld electronic device by making gestures with the handheld electronic device. The input gestures may be used to generate remote control signals for external equipment. The electronic device may include circuitry for detecting a user's movement of the handheld electronic device. The circuitry may include an accelerometer operable in normal and low power modes and a processor operable in sleep and wake modes. Motion data gathered in low power mode may be stored in a dedicated low power mode data storage structure. Motion analysis circuitry may detect a user's movement of the electronic device based on a standard deviation of the motion data. Upon detecting a user's movement of the handheld electronic device, the processor may be woken up to analyze the motion data stored in the low power mode data storage structure and to confirm the user's movement of the electronic device.

Abstract: A tensioning pin system (10) is provided for use in shutter-louver assemblies (12). The major component of the system (10) is a tensioning pin (50) in two mating parts; a pin member (52) and a ferrule member (54) which fit together and rotate with respect to one another. The pin member (52) is lodged within a louver slat (16) while the ferrule member (54) is firmly embedded into the shutter frame (14). The tensioning pin (50) maintains rotational tension for placement of the louver slat (16) and lateral separation between the louver slat (16) and the frame (14). A preferred interface between the pin member (52) and the ferrule member (54) includes an annular protrusion (80) mating with a catch channel (74) while alternate tension interfaces incorporate varying gradients on one of the members with a bead ring on the other member.

Abstract: A compound of formula (1), and/or its salts, tautomers or solvates is used to treat hematological malignancies. In an embodiment, an organic acid salt of compound 1 is provided for general use in treatment of neoplasms, and in a further embodiment the salt is stabilized with carbohydrate.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and computer program product for communicating using Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is provided. The method, apparatus, system and computer program product provide mechanisms by which simplified messages may be utilized by client applications such that the client applications need not maintain information pertaining to the routing of messages. The system includes a network interface and a SIP client manager that receives SIP messages through the network interface. The SIP client manager contains a SIP management module and an X-SIP client module. The SIP management module contains a SIP message modifier for modifying incoming messages and outgoing messages in accordance with context information or state information for a session associated with a SIP message, and the SIP management module also contains input/output controllers for receiving, sending, or forwarding SIP messages.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of parsing a message including a string of characters comprises defining at least one character as a delimiter and setting a starting indicator and a closing indicator. A portion of the string between the starting and closing indicators is collected by a parser method, the portion including at least one delimiter character. The delimiter character is ignored by the parser method so that the portion (the token) of the string may be extracted in its entirety. Additional starting and closing indicators may be nested, with the parser method recursively calling itself with each encounter of a new nested starting indicator.

Abstract: A moving system (1) made up of a number of separable but intergratable parts and platform sections (10-90/110-190), including an elastically biased, pivoted, integral end ramp section (10) which is moved down allowing the load (e.g. a copier with “convenience casters”) to be rolled up onto platform sections (40 & 50/140 & 150) for movement from one location to another. Also included are additional parts or sections—in one embodiment or the other a supplemental ramp piece (120), usually stored on the exterior side of the ramp end section (110) when not in use but connectable to the end of the main ramp section to extend the effective ramping distance; a protective pad (30/130) for the ramp end section; a first platform section (40/140); a second platform section (50/150), an auxiliary, pivoting, intermediate braking support member (160); a handle end section (70/170); an extendible handle (80/180); and an interconnecting, ninety (90°) degree, leg section (90/190).

Abstract: A surface of an article adapted for relative motion with a fluid environment is finished by coating the surface with a fluid adhesive, covering the adhesive with a sheet of flexible film material under tension, and setting the adhesive while maintaining tension on the film material whereby the tensioned film material is bonded to the surface by the adhesive.

Abstract: A heavy duty moving system including a base sled having two sets of integral, drop-leaf, heavy duty caster wheels (FIG. 1) and a lever arm assembly (FIG. 6) for moving heavy equipment, for example, the "XEROX" copy machines of the 2400 series. The sled is slid under the machine (FIG. 8) and then raised at one end by the lever arm assembly (FIG. 9), after which one set of integral, drop-leaf caster wheels are lowered into position and locked. The opposite end of the sled is jacked up and the second set of integral, drop-leaf caster wheels are lowered and locked into position after which the lever arm assembly is removed. The machine then rests on the sled and its caster wheels and is ready for transportation. The machine is taken off the moving system in the opposite manner.
