20090018731 | PERSONAL COMPUTER CONTROL FOR VEHICLES - A computer control system includes methods and devices for disabling an electronic device, such as a computer, when a mobility status of the vehicle changes. The mobility status may be measured with reference to the vehicle's transmission, parking brake, odometer, speedometer, throttle, engine rpm, or a geographic locating system such as a GPS system. When the mobility status of the vehicle changes to one in which the vehicle is moving, or is more likely to move, the control system disables the electronic device. The control system thus prevents drivers of automobiles and trucks from simultaneously driving while using the electronic device. The system may include one or more override keys and enabling hubs that allow a person to use the device in locations remote from the automobile. The system may also allow the device to be used when it is inside the vehicle but the vehicle's engine has been turned off.

20150163572 | Pressure Vent for Speaker or Microphone Modules - A speaker or microphone module includes an acoustic membrane and at least one pressure vent. The pressure vent equalizes barometric pressure on a first side of the acoustic membrane with barometric pressure on a second side of the acoustic membrane. Further, the pressure vent is located in an acoustic path of the speaker or microphone module. In this way, differences between barometric pressures on the different sides of the acoustic membrane may not hinder movement of the acoustic membrane. In one or more implementations, the pressure vent may be acoustically opaque. As the pressure vent is located in the acoustic path of the speaker or microphone module, being acoustically opaque may ensure that the pressure vent itself does not interfere with the operation of the speaker or microphone module. | 06-11-2015 |

20100131207 | GAS FLUX DETERMINATION USING AIRBORNE DIAL LIDAR AND AIRBORNE WIND MEASUREMENT - A system for obtaining emission flux of a gas plume, emanating from a source, includes an airborne differential absorption lidar (DIAL) system for determining multiple concentration path length (CPL) values along a flight path; and an airborne wind measuring system (WMS) for determining a wind vector at the aircraft altitude. Also included is a processor for receiving the multiple CPL values determined by the DIAL system and the wind vector determined by the WMS. The processor uses the CPL values to compute either (a) an area-integrated concentration (AIC) value or (b) an average concentration value over a cross-plume extent, defined along the length dimension of the flight path. The processor also scales the wind vector to the near ground altitude level of the gas plume to obtain a scaled wind vector. The emission flux is obtained by multiplying either the AIC value or the average concentration value with a component of the scaled wind vector. The component of the scaled wind vector is defined by a vector perpendicular to the length dimension of the flight path. | 05-27-2010 |

20100299660 | DYNAMIC BINDING DIRECTED BY STATIC TYPES - A static type, called “dynamic”, is introduced into a statically bound programming language. An expression or subexpression that is defined as a static type called “dynamic” in the source code of a program written in the statically bound programming language, is bound based on its runtime type instead of on its compile time type. Binding can be performed based on a mixture of compile time and runtime types that are based on the specification of types of expressions in source code. This type of binding is called hybrid binding. Operations are bound using the runtime type of constituent expressions (i.e., the runtime type of a receiver, an argument, or an operand) typed as dynamic and the compile time type of static constituents. If any constituent expression of an operation is dynamic, binding occurs at runtime instead of at compile time. | 11-25-2010 |

Embodiments of the invention enable access to the future state of a method through a handle to a single and composable task object. For example, an asynchronous method is rewritten to generate and return a handle to an instance of a builder object, which represents one or more future states of the asynchronous method. Information about operation of the asynchronous method is then passed through the handle. Accordingly, state of the asynchronous method is trackable prior to and after completing. | 12-20-2012 |

20140115976 | Light weight modular units for staggered stacked building system - Manufactured modular units for the creation of multistory buildings are staggered stacked so as to create “bonus spaces” between units. Several lighter weight structural versions are presented. The first is a wood frame or cold rolled shape light gauge metal framed modular unit. The second version uses cross laminated timber panels to create the modular unit. The third version uses hot rolled steel shapes for the structure of the modular unit to be staggered stacked. These lighter weight modular units have many advantages. They are more easily transported at a lower fuel costs. They can be craned to higher levels with a single crane. Seismic forces are decreased. Less modular unit weight also allows for greater unit area. Thus, fewer units need to be transported and fewer units need to be craned. Also, a larger unit area and larger “bonus” area allows for more flexible space planning. | 05-01-2014 |

20140135035 | System for Item and Location Information Distribution - A system for item and location information distribution utilizes a mobile device, at least one wireless information node, and a data server. The information node actively broadcasts a node identification (NID) via a wireless communication signal. When a user brings the mobile device within range of the wireless communication signal, the signal is received by the mobile device, allowing it to receive the NID. The mobile device then requests data related to the node from either the data server or a locally stored database generated from data previously retrieved from the data server. Software on the mobile device may then display headings and subheadings on the screen of the mobile device. The user may select a particular heading or subheading to display the content of the associated chapter or subchapter on the screen of the mobile device. | 05-15-2014 |
