20130325435 | LANGUAGE LISTS FOR RESOURCE SELECTION - A device may be configured to enable a user to select a language, and may fulfill resource requests from applications by selecting, from among resources respectively associated with a language, a resource associated with the selected language of the user. However, this resource selection process may be inadequate if the user selects multiple languages; if a resource associated with the selected language of the user is unavailable, but resources associated with related languages are available; or if the user and/or the application specifies an ordering for the selection among the languages. Presented herein are techniques for performing the resource selection by, for respective languages selected by the user, calculating a weight representing a suitability of the language for the resource request; generating a selection order of the selected languages according to the weights; and selecting a resource based on the position of the associated language in the selection order. | 12-05-2013 |
20130326347 | APPLICATION LANGUAGE LIBRARIES FOR MANAGING COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT LANGUAGES - Language selection and application within a computing environment are often distributed over and differently applied by the operating system and various applications, leading to additional administration, inconsistencies in the user experience based on different language feature implementations among different applications; and increased cost and redundancy in developing language features for different applications. Presented herein are techniques for configuring a device with an application language library that centralizes the selection of languages by the user, and that provides a wide variety of language features (e.g., text translation, user interface adaptation, and data formats) to the applications and operating system. The application language library may also enable a multilingual user to select multiple languages; may apply a selection logic to choose a suitable language for each invocation of the application language library; and may enable the user to configure the selection among the languages for various types and instances of invocations. | 12-05-2013 |
20130326605 | LOGIN INTERFACE SELECTION FOR COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT USER LOGIN - A device may provide a login process to authenticate users prior to admittance to a computing environment.

However, if the user account is inaccessible to the device during the login process, the device is unable to adapt the login process to apply the user's adjustments. Instead, the device may be configured to store users' adjustments (including language selection) outside of the user accounts, and to, upon identifying the user during the login process, present login interfaces specified in the user account. Additionally, users may select different login interfaces during login, and the device may retrieve these login interfaces for selection during future login processes for the same user. | 12-05-2013 |

The lighter-than-air craft defines an interior volume for containing a lighter-than-air gas, and the lighter-than-air craft has a fore section and an aft section. The tethering system has at least one attachment point on the fore section of the lighter-than-air craft and at least one attachment point on the aft section of the lighter-than-air craft. The lighter-than-air craft provides a stable aerodynamic moment with respect to a yaw axis about a center-of-mass of the lighter-than-air craft. The craft can be formed in a variety of aerodynamic profiles/shapes. | 12-20-2012 |

Illustratively, the configuration constrains the motion of the payload with respect to the LTA structure along all six degrees of freedom: e.g. horizontal, vertical and longitudinal translation and rotation about the longitudinal, horizontal and vertical axes. | 02-19-2015 |
20150083849 | AEROSTAT SYSTEM - The invention provides an improved aerostat system including an aerostat, multiple tether groups and a base station. Spatially distinct tether groups allow for improved stability and controllability over a wide range of wind conditions. Independent actuation of the tether groups allows for control of the aerostat pitch and roll angle. A rotating platform including rails to rest the aerostat allows docking without auxiliary tethers, minimizing or eliminating the ground crew required to dock traditional aerostat systems. An optional controller allows remote or autonomous operation of the aerostat system. The invention is intended to extend the flight envelope in which aerostat systems can safely operate. | 03-26-2015 |

20150072110 | Method of Molding Simple or Complex Micro and/or Nanopatterned Features on Both Planar or Non-Planar Molded Objects and Surfaces and the Molded Objects Produced Using Same - The present invention is a method that (i) allows for creating micro and/or nanostructures on either planar or non-planar three-dimensional surfaces in a single molding step, and (ii) allows for the molded production of complex high-aspect ratio micro and/or nanostructures including but not limited to cylinders, conical structures, low aspect-ratio channels, bumps, or posts. An example of such a complex structure are high aspect ratio pillars with enlarged “mushroom-shaped” or undercut tips which demonstrate enhanced, repeatable adhesion and shear strength on a variety of substrates when compared with other micro and/or nanostructures and unstructured materials. The mold of such a material requires an “undercut” feature that cannot be produced using typical micro/nano-molding processing techniques. | 03-12-2015 |

20090045644 | MOBILE COLLECTION SYSTEM HAVING A BIN TUNNEL WITH COLLAPSIBLE SIDES - A truck box of a tuck has a bin tunnel with collapsible sides to load content into the truck box from a bin that is sized to fit within the bin tunnel when the bin tunnel is in an open position. When the bin tunnel is in a closed position, a footprint of the bin tunnel is very small compared to a footprint of the bin tunnel in the open position because the sides are retracted. | 02-19-2009 |

20130065208 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR EVALUATING A CANDIDATE'S PSYCHOLOGICAL FIT FOR A ROLE - In some embodiments, a non-transitory processor-readable medium stores code representing instructions to cause a processor to receive a first psychological profile identifying one or more psychological facets associated with a candidate for a role and a set of second psychological profiles identifying one or more psychological facets associated with the role. Each second psychological profile is associated with an assessment of the role by an evaluator from a set of evaluators. The code represents instructions to cause the processor to receive a set of post-interview assessments, each of which is from an interviewer from a set of interviewers and includes a degree of confidence that the candidate possesses the one or more psychological facets associated with the candidate. The code further represents instructions to cause the processor to compute an indicator associated with the first psychological profile, the set of second psychological profiles and the set of post-interview assessments. | 03-14-2013 |

20130337917 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR WATCHING CONTENT AND PLAYING GAMES ON A MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE - A method and system for watching video and playing games in a mobile communication device are described in which video content is received from a network television channel and, based on the orientation of the mobile communication device and the device type, the video content and/or a game may be displayed. When in a portrait orientation, the operating mode may be such that the video content and/or the game may be displayed. For a tablet device in a portrait orientation, for example, both the video content and the game may be displayed. When the mobile communication device is changed to a landscape orientation, the operating mode may be different and only one of the video content and the game may be displayed based on whether the mobile communication device was rotated clockwise or counter-clockwise. A rewards program may combine the video-watching and game-playing activities of the user. | 12-19-2013 |

20140026914 | Artificial Nail System - An artificial fingernail system that consists of a base and an artificial nail. The base is affixed to the natural nail. The artificial nail is specially designed to mold to, and snap to, the affixed base. The artificial nail can be removed from the base and replaced with another artificial nail that is sized to fit the same base, with a different design, color, shape, or made from another material. This allows a user to literally change their fingernails from one design or color, to another design or color, in a matter of minutes. The artificial nail system reduces the amount of chemicals used, compared to other processes, which allows for a safer process. | 01-30-2014 |
