An interaction may comprise at least a first contact between a member and the touch screen, and a response of the touch screen to the first contact, including at least a first change of a frame of a display of the touch screen. | 06-05-2014 |
20140156783 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ANALYZING USER EXPERIENCE OF A SOFTWARE APPLICATION ACROSS DISPARATE DEVICES - A system for providing a consistent user experience of an application across disparate mobile devices comprises a computing device including a display analysis application, and one or more mobile devices including a display analysis application is provided. In one example, a mobile device comprises a memory storing a version of an operating system, a display analysis patch, and a patched application. A consistency module of the mobile device is configured to access the application with the display analysis patch, obtain one or more display parameters of the mobile device via the application with the display analysis patch, and transmit the obtained one or more display parameters to a computing device. | 06-05-2014 |
20140281714 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COORDINATING FIELD USER TESTING RESULTS FOR A MOBILE APPLICATION ACROSS VARIOUS MOBILE DEVICES - A system and method for coordinating field user testing results for a mobile application across various mobile devices is provided. The system may comprise a plurality of mobile devices configured to facilitate field user testing of a test application, and a computing device configured to provide analysis related to field user testing of the test application. A testing module of the mobile device may be configured to: perform one or more operations of the test application; collect a plurality of metrics related to an execution of the one or more operations of the test application; determine whether an error occurred with an operation of the test application based on the collected one or more metrics; and transmit, to one or more other mobile devices, one or more metrics related to the execution of the operation at which the error occurred. The testing module may be part of the operating system. | 09-18-2014 |

20090082809 | System and Method for Minimally Invasive Posterior Fixation - The present invention relates generally to systems and methods for aligning and implanting orthopedic fixation or stabilization implants within the body. In one embodiment, the system includes at least two bone anchors, at least one of which is provided with an angularly adjustable connector. In one aspect, the system also includes at least one linkage rod, for linking two or more bone anchors through their respective adjustable connectors. The bone anchors and the linkage rod may be locked into place to form a spinal fusion or fixation prosthesis. An alignment tool is provided, for guiding a guidewire through one or more connectors. | 03-26-2009 |
20100274223 | REPETITIVE ENTRY CONDUIT FOR BLOOD VESSELS - A subcutaneous needle conduit attaches directly to a blood vessel or other biological boundary structure. The subcutaneous needle conduit is tapered such that a proximal end is wider than a distal end. A body of the subcutaneous needle conduit guides the tip of a needle or other canula from the proximal end to the distal end. The subcutaneous needle conduit may be funnel-shaped. An elongated funnel shape may be used to selectively provide access to a plurality of desired access sites along an axis of a blood vessel. Other shapes, such as sluice-shaped, may also be used. The subcutaneous needle conduit may be located beneath the skin surface using, for example, tactile sensation, magnetism, metal detection, detection of a signal emitted from a minute transponder, detection of light emission, or through other detection methods. | 10-28-2010 |
20110028978 | Transpedicular Intervertebral Disk Access Methods and Devices - Methods and devices for treating diseases and conditions that change the spacial relationship between the vertebral bodies and the intervertebral disks, or that cause instability of the vertebral column, or both, and a method and devices that allow the surgeon to access the intervertebral space to restore a more normal three-dimensional configuration of the space, with or without additionally fusing two adjacent vertebrae. | 02-03-2011 |
20110295104 | DETECTION AND GUIDE SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ACCESSING BLOOD VESSELS - A detection and guide system provides access to desired blood vessel locations. An implant formed of a biocompatible material is implanted within a mammalian body proximate an outer surface of a blood vessel. The detection and guide system may be configured to be positioned outside the mammalian body to detect the implant and to guide a needle to the desired entry site of the biological boundary structure. A needle guide may be coupled to a housing of the detection and guide system and directed at an angle such that positioning the implant detector over the implant aligns an opening through the needle guide with the desired entry site. The detection and guide system may, for example, provide metal detection of a metallic implant or magnetic detection of a magnetic implant. | 12-01-2011 |
20150079577 | COMPUTERS AND PERSONAL DIGITAL COMMUNICATION DEVICES TO PROMOTE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE WHILE CONTROLLING USE OF COMPUTER GAMING TIME - A computer implemented method for controlling access to a computer program prevents access unless conditions are satisfied. The conditions may include access limits and educational requirements. The access limits may include access durations and number of access times. Access in excess of the limits may be prevented. The educational requirements may include accessing educational content, completing a test on the content, and obtaining a passing score. | 03-19-2015 |
