20100251470 | Cistern Assembly - A cistern assembly for a flush toilet includes a cistern housing including a cistern lid and a cistern base, a cistern member pivotally attached within the cistern housing, and an actuator to pivot the cistern member relative to the cistern housing to discharge the stored water. The cistern member has a base wall that forms a chamber to store the water and a passageway to discharge the water from the chamber, the passageway has an internal inlet and a cistern outlet and is shaped to siphon water through the passageway. The actuator tilts the cistern member to actuate discharge of water through the passageway so that when the cistern member is pivoted and the passageway is moved below the water level of the stored water of the chamber, the water is drawn through the passageway to the cistern outlet until air within the chamber enters the passageway preventing further water from being drawn into the passageway. | 10-07-2010 |

20090271589 | STORAGE VIRTUALIZATION SYSTEM - Storage virtualization systems and methods that allow customers to manage storage as a utility rather than as islands of storage which are independent of each other. A demand mapped virtual disk image of up to an arbitrarily large size is presented to a host system. The virtualization system allocates physical storage from a storage pool dynamically in response to host IO requests, e.g., SCSI I/O requests, allowing for the amortization of storage resources-through a disk subsystem while maintaining coherency amongst I/O RAID traffic. In one embodiment, the virtualization functionality is implemented in a controller device, such as a controller card residing in a switch device or other network device, coupled to a storage system on a storage area network (SAN). The resulting virtual disk image that is observed by the host computer is larger than the amount of physical storage actually consumed. | 10-29-2009 |

20150325202 | SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS FOR WEARABLE COMPUTERS WITH HEADS-UP DISPLAYS - Systems, devices, and methods for wearable computer systems are described. A wearable heads-up display (“WHUD”) is implemented as a peripheral to a wearable electronic band worn on a limb of the user. The majority (or all) of the application storage and processing is performed on the band instead of on the WHUD, and therefore the WHUD does not include all of the hardware infrastructure necessary for application storage and processing. This significantly reduces the bulk of the WHUD and enables more aesthetically pleasing WHUD designs. Graphics processing is also performed on the band instead of on the WHUD. In some implementations, rasterized display data is wirelessly transmitted from the band to the WHUD using an ultra-wideband wireless communication scheme. Gesture-based control of content displayed by the WHUD is enabled by sensors on-board the band itself or by a third wearable component in communication with the band. | 11-12-2015 |

A wearable human-electronics interface device includes a band that in use is worn on an appendage (e.g., a wrist, arm, finger, or thumb) of a user. The band carries multiple sensors that are responsive to vibrations. The sensors are physically spaced apart from one another on or within the band. The band also carries an on-board processor. The sensors detect vibrations at the appendage of the user when the user performs different finger tapping gestures (i.e., tapping gestures involving different individual fingers or different combinations of fingers) and provide corresponding vibration signals to the processor. The processor classifies the finger tapping gesture(s) based on the vibration signals and an on-board transmitter sends a corresponding signal to control, operate, or interact with a receiving electronic device. The sensors include inertial sensors, digital MEMS microphones, or a combination thereof. | 12-24-2015 |

20140049084 | ZERO-WALL CLEARANCE LINKAGE MECHANISM FOR PROVIDING ADDITIONAL LAYOUT - A seating unit that includes a linkage mechanism adapted to adjust between closed, extended, and reclined positions is provided. The linkage mechanism includes a seat-mounting plate mounted to a footrest assembly, a back-mounting link and a rear bellcrank both rotatably coupled to the seat-mounting plate, an activator bar that controls a footrest drive link, and a linear actuator for carrying out automated adjustment of the linkage assembly. In operation, a stroke in a first phase of the linear actuator generates a torque on the activator bar. The footrest drive link converts the torque into a laterally-directed force that pushes the footrest assembly into the extended position. A stroke in the second phase acts to push the activator bar forward and translate the seat-mounting plate forward at a consistent inclination angle. The forward translation causes the rear bellcrank to rotate, thereby biasing the back-mounting link rearward into the reclined position. | 02-20-2014 |
