20110256628 | ADAPTIVE TISSUE ENGINEERING SCAFFOLD - The embodiments described herein include porous scaffolds formed from a stimuli-responsive polymer. The stimuli-responsive polymer of the scaffold creates a “smart” scaffold that changes properties in response to an effective stimulus applied to the stimuli-responsive polymer. In a preferred embodiment, an effective stimulus applied to the scaffold initiates a phase transition event in the stimuli-responsive polymer that results in a change in the volume of the pores of the scaffold. The scaffolds can be used to capture appropriately sized objects (e.g., cells) by using the volume-change properties of the pores. Relatedly, the scaffolds can be used as tissue-engineering scaffolds by capturing cells in the pores and introducing the cell-loaded scaffold into a cell-growth environment (e.g., in vivo). | 10-20-2011 |

20150378530 | COMMAND SURFACE DRILL-IN CONTROL - An original command surface, such as a callout or pane, provides drill-in navigation functionality for reusing on-screen real estate when displaying a drilled-in command surface that presents additional commands or content related to a selected command button. Drill-in navigation can be effectuated by a command surface drill-in control having push and pop functionality that can be placed inside of various types of command surfaces. In response to execution of the command button, the push functionality pushes new content to a command surface stack that includes original content displayed by the original command surface. The drilled-in command surface displays the new content and a back button. In response to execution of the back button, the pop functionality removes the new content from the command surface stack causing the original content to be redisplayed by the original command surface. | 12-31-2015 |
20150378549 | LIGHT DISMISS MANAGER - A computing device may instantiate a light dismiss manager for an application user interface. The light dismiss manager receives a request to register an event pass area from a rendered user interface surface of the application user interface and receives a notification that a new light dismiss user interface surface is to be opened in the application user interface. The light dismiss manager determines a shape of a transparent blocking panel that excludes the event pass area. When the new light dismiss user interface surface is opened in the application user interface, the transparent blocking panel is rendered below the new light dismiss user interface surface. In response to an input event directed to a visible portion of the rendered user interface surface, the new light dismiss user interface is closed, and a command associated with the visible portion of the rendered user interface surface is executed. | 12-31-2015 |
20150378600 | CONTEXT MENU UTILIZING A CONTEXT INDICATOR AND FLOATING MENU BAR - A context menu in an application user interface displays a context indicator in response to user interaction that places an insertion pointer or selects content in the application user interface. The context indicator is configured to invoke a floating menu having a set of contextual commands. The contextual commands of the floating menu include a parent command that is configured to open a submenu. The submenu includes a plurality of submenu commands associated with the parent command. The context menu displays a selectable button appended to the context indicator without presenting the underlying floating menu and submenu. The selectable button is configured to execute a predicted command that corresponds to one of a contextual command of the floating menu or a submenu command of the submenu. | 12-31-2015 |

20090284961 | LED dazzler - An apparatus produces a “dazzling” effect: disorientation and temporary and fully reversible blindness in subjects for the purpose of threat deterrence in both civilian law enforcement and military engagements without the use of lasers. The apparatus is comprised of a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) capable of intense illumination. Light emitted by each LED is further pulsed and focused by reflective optics to produce a pulsed beam of sufficient intensity that the combined effect of the beams from the LEDs induces dazzling in subject viewers in the target range. Further included in or ancillary to the invention are a power source for powering the LEDs and a signal source and controller for controlling their illumination and pulsing. Embodiments of the invention include riot shield, hand held and vehicle-mounted dazzlers. | 11-19-2009 |
20100107859 | Remote explosion of improvised explosive devices - A method and apparatus triggers motion triggered improvised explosive devices (IEDs) from a distance outside the device's zone of destruction. IEDs having infrared motion detection trigger mechanisms are detonated by passing remotely generated laser beams over the area within which the IED is located. The moving reflected background scattering of light from the passing laser beams as well as possible direct passing laser illumination of the IED infrared motion detector activate the IED trigger mechanism, causing the IED to detonate. Operation of the invention is remote from the destruction zone of the IED, thereby preserving personnel and materiel. | 05-06-2010 |
