20120192275 | REPUTATION CHECKING OF EXECUTABLE PROGRAMS - The reputation of an executable computer program is checked when a user input to a computing device initiates a program launch, thus triggering a check of a local cache of reputation information. If the local cache confirms that the program is safe, it is permitted to launch, typically without notifying the user that a reputation check has been made. If the local cache cannot confirm the safety of the program, a reputation check is made by accessing a reputation service in the cloud. If the reputation service identifies the program as safe, it returns an indication to the computing device and the program is permitted to be launched, again without notifying the user that a reputation check has been made. If the reputation service identifies the program as unsafe or potentially unsafe, or does not recognize it at all, a warning is displayed to the user. | 07-26-2012 |

20140272106 | ALCOHOLIC COMPOSITIONS WITH IMPROVED PROPERTIES AND METHODS FOR EVALUATING INTERACTION OF THE COMPOSITIONS WITH SURFACES - A method is provided for measuring the interaction of a disinfecting composition with a floor wax. The method include coating a surface with floor wax, allowing the coating to dry, applying a selected amount of disinfecting composition to the coated surface, and measuring, after a pre-determined amount of time, the tack of the surface, by using a controlled force measurement inverted probe machine. A detectable amount of tack indicates that the disinfecting composition has interacted with the floor wax. Alternatively, any tacky residue on the dried product surface may be sampled and analyzed by Fourier transform spectroscopy. Absorption at a wavelength associated with the floor wax indicates that the product has interacted with the floor wax. A foamable disinfecting composition having reduced interaction with floor wax is also provided. | 09-18-2014 |

20110273354 | Transfer Unit for Radio Frequency Signals and Method for Alternatively Using an Electrical Antenna or a Magnetic Antenna with a Classic Antenna Tuner - A transfer unit for transferring a radio frequency signal between a classical antenna tuner and an antenna where the transfer unit comprises a switch for alternatively selecting a first direct route for the radio frequency signal between the tuner and the antenna or a second route via a reactive element; said reactive element comprising a variable serial capacitance and a shunt inductance connected to system earth; and where a control unit controls the switch and is adapted to select the first route when the frequency is above a predetermined value and otherwise select the second route. The variable serial capacitance comprises a set of capacitors organized as a set of binary weighted parallel capacitance values, and the transfer unit further comprises switches to engage or disengage each capacitor from the reactive element to increase or decrease the resulting capacitance as the radio frequency is decreased or increased. The control unit can use a subset of the capacitors for one range of frequencies and a different subset of the capacitors for a different range of frequencies. The control unit can alternatively measure the radio frequency by means of a sensor or receive frequency values via a data link. | 11-10-2011 |

20140237390 | ROLE-BASED DISPLAY OF DOCUMENT RENDITIONS FOR WEB CONFERENCING - A method and system for providing role-based renditions of a shared document during a Web conference, in which different renditions of the shared document are provided to different Web conference participants based on the participants' roles in the conference. A participant with sufficient privileges, such as a presenter, is allowed to associate different participant roles with corresponding renditions through a user interface. The disclosed system further operates to dynamically adjust to the changing roles of participants during a Web conference, such that the rendition provided to any given user is changed in response to that user's role changing during the Web conference. The role of a Web conference participant may be based on any specific information obtained regarding that participant, such as information in a user profile in a user database, or other user information. The disclosed system further operates to provide shared document renditions that are specific to individual user attributes, such as user accessibility settings. A user interface provided to the presenter or other privileged participant allows that participant to indicate which participant roles are to be provided which renditions, e.g. which participant roles will be provided with renditions including additional metadata. Such metadata may, for example, include speaker notes, rendered on the presenter's screen, but not on the attendees screens. | 08-21-2014 |

20120042969 | TIP-RESISTANT VALVE PLUGS - A tip-resistant valve plug includes a valve head, first and second retention legs, and an anti-tip fin. The valve head includes a continuous partition defining a fluid barrier between a sealing side and an external side of the valve head. Each of the first and second retention legs extend from a leg base positioned at the sealing side of the valve head to a distal end of the retention leg. Each of the first and second retention legs include a plug catch configured to interfere with an inside diameter of a fluid flow orifice or a pressure relief spring. The respective distal ends of the retention legs are spaced apart from one another, and the anti-tip fin extends from the sealing side of the valve head in a direction of the respective distal ends of the retention legs. | 02-23-2012 |
20140251465 | TIP-RESISTANT VALVE PLUGS - A tip-resistant valve plug comprises a valve head, first and second retention legs, and an anti-tip fin. The valve head defines a fluid barrier. The anti-tip fin and the retention legs extend from the same side of the valve head. The anti-tip fin comprises a groove that allows the valve head to flex along a longitudinal fin axis; the anti-tip fin extends from the side of the valve head to a fin height dimension that is greater than a relief spring compression dimension caused by the tip-resistant valve moving between a closed position and an open position; or the valve head has a smaller moment of inertia evaluated in a direction the anti-tip fin extends across the valve head than a moment of inertia evaluated in a direction normal to the direction the anti-tip fin extends across the valve head. | 09-11-2014 |

20140247116 | ROBOTIC INVENTORY SYSTEMS - Embodiments of a robotic inventory system are provided that include a mobile robot for inventorying an inventory area, such as store or warehouse. The mobile robot can move through the inventory area collecting data from tagged items (e.g., RFID tags). Based on the collected data, the robotic inventory system can determine the items in the inventory area and the location of those items. In some embodiments, no additional infrastructure is needed for the installation of the robotic inventory system. This can allow, for example, the inventorying system to be shipped to an end customer and used by the end customer without having a professional installer setup the robot and/or the inventorying system. | 09-04-2014 |
