| 20080308213 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SPLICING AN ELONGATE MULTI-LAYERED WORKPIECE - An apparatus for splicing an elongate multi-layered workpiece includes: (a) drives and guides cooperating to drive the workpiece along a working path; (b) a cutter for severing the workpiece; (c) a layer manipulator for separating layers; (d) an applicator for applying adhesive; and (e) a deflector unit for deflecting the workpiece from the working path. The cutter effects the severing to present first and second workpiece segments. The layer manipulator effects inter-layer separation in one segment to present an interlayer zone in the one segment. A drive inserts the other segment in the interlayer zone. The layer manipulator urges the layers together to capture the other segment within the interlayer zone to establish a multi-layer structure. A drive and at least one of the workpiece deflector unit and the applicator situate the multi-layer structure adjacent to the applicator for finishing the splicing by applying adhesive to the multi-layer structure. | 12-18-2008 |

| 20110247743 | AUTOMATED BIAS-PLY PREPARATION DEVICE AND PROCESS - A material preparation device is provided. The material preparation device includes a bias-ply assembly, a feedstock assembly and an application head. The bias-ply assembly is configured to pass a bias-ply backing material along a first path. The feedstock assembly is configured to pass a feedstock along a second path that crosses the first path at a select angle. The feedstock includes resin pre-impregnated fiber reinforced material (pre-preg) having the fibers at a first orientation relative to an edge of the feedstock. The application head is configured to transfer the pre-preg from the feedstock to the bias-ply backing material at a location where the first path crosses the second path to form a bias-ply with the fibers of the pre-preg having a second different orientation relative to an edge of the formed bias-ply. | 10-13-2011 |

| 20090237364 | FEEDBACK-PROVIDING KEYPAD FOR TOUCHSCREEN DEVICES - Computer-readable media, computerized methods, and a touchscreen device manipulating user-input elements are provided. Generally, manipulation includes identifying a predefined configuration associated with a request received from a user and/or application, deriving configuration settings from the predefined configuration, and transmitting the configuration settings to an electromechanical device that adjusts a portion of user-input elements to an extended orientation and activates a portion of user-input elements. In embodiments, the extended user-input elements positioned in the extended orientation are activated, while the remainder are set to an idle condition. Typically, the extended user-input elements produce outwardly-extending protrusions expressed at a flexible touchpad incorporated in the touchscreen device. These outwardly-extending protrusions may replicate keys of a standard keyboard and correspond with the presently-running application implemented on the touchscreen device. User-initiated actuations of activated user-input elements provide a tactile feedback that substantially simulates a click generated by standard keyboard keys. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20100077448 | USER LEVEL SECURITY FOR AN EMULATED REMOVABLE MASS STORAGE DEVICE - A communication session is established, via a wireless communication link, with a mobile communication device that is connected to a computer system. The mobile communication device is enumerated by the computer system as a locally attached mass storage device. An authentication executable file is sent to the mobile communication device. A response generated by the computer system executing the authentication executable file is received from the mobile communication device. Based on the response generated by the computer system executing the authentication executable file, access to a data file that is stored by a mass storage system via a network is granted. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20110066702 | PLUG-IN FILE SHARING - A method of operating a wireless modem is described. The method comprises identifying a first wireless modem to a computer system as locally attached mass storage, wherein the first wireless modem is removable from the computer system without opening a case of the computer system, registering the first wireless modem on a wireless network, receiving information from the wireless network about shared data, wherein the shared data is data that is shared with a second wireless modem, sending a storage request to the wireless network, and receiving data that is shared with the second wireless modem. | 03-17-2011 |
| 20120023293 | EMULATING A REMOVABLE MASS STORAGE DEVICE - A wireless communication device transfers instructions to a host device over a USB connection responsive to being connected to the host device over the USB connection. The instructions direct the host device to enumerate the wireless communication device as a USB MSC device. The wireless communication device wirelessly transfers a device identifier for the wireless communication device to a wireless communication network responsive to being connected to the host device over the USB connection. The wireless communication network processes the device identifier to limit communication service for the wireless communication device to communications with a particular data storage system. | 01-26-2012 |
| 20120072228 | SELECTION OF SUPPLEMENTAL CONTENT FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICES BASED ON DEVICE STATUS - What is disclosed is a method of operating a wireless communication system. The method includes receiving a registration request from a wireless communication device, and in response, monitoring device status and updating a data structure with device status data for the wireless communication device. The method also includes processing the device status data to determine if a first device status condition is met by the device status data, and if the first device status condition is met by the device status data, selecting a supplemental content provider from a plurality of supplemental content providers based on the first device status condition. The method also includes receiving a content request from the wireless communication device for primary content from a primary content provider, and in response, determining an anonymous key associated with the wireless communication device and transferring the anonymous key for delivery to the selected supplemental content provider. The method also includes receiving supplemental content transferred by the selected supplemental content provider responsive to the transferred anonymous key, receiving the primary content transferred by the primary content provider, and transferring the primary content and the supplemental content to the wireless communication device. | 03-22-2012 |
