| 20090084804 | SNAP-OVER PORT CAP - A single-use, snap-over cap for use primarily in healthcare settings in order to maintain the integrity of a medication solution. The cap has a tapered cylindrical skirt, a puncture resistant lid portion, and one or more latch tabs. When placed onto a flanged injection port such as is found on a conventional fluid container, the latch tabs engage and flex about the port flange. After the cap is placed, the latch tabs engage the port flange to prevent upward axial movement relative to the port, thereby preventing removal of the cap and thus deterring unwanted or erroneous drug administrations or withdrawals. | 04-02-2009 |

| 20110169409 | Led motorcycle lighting system - The LED motorcycle lighting system is designed to help improve visibility of riders during night and day riding. The system includes an array of LED lights disposed in a housing adapted for mounting on a weight-balanced bracket. The weight-balanced bracket is adapted for mounting on a motorcycle's caliper mount to secure the LED lamp to the vehicle. Using two weight-balanced mounting brackets, a first LED lamp is mounted on the left front of the motorcycle, while a second LED lamp is mounted on the right front of the motorcycle. The system uses pulse width modulated current drivers fed by an adjustable PWM signal to allow brightness adjustment of the lights by the user to suit a particular riding situation. A handlebar-mounted potentiometer adapted for adjusting the PWM signal provides easy access to the user for brightness control of the lights. | 07-14-2011 |

| 20110171842 | Plug Module - A system can include a receiver to receive a plug module. The plug module can include multiple apertures located substantially the same distance from an axis of rotation of the plug module. A connector can extend from the receiver to connect to a contact in one of the multiple apertures of the plug module. | 07-14-2011 |
| 20110254791 | Gesture Detection Zones - A system and method for utilizing a gesture-based user interface. A system includes an operator input device and a processor. The operator input device detects gestures and multiple simultaneous touch points. An input area of the operator input device includes a plurality of gesture detection zones. The processor is coupled to the operator input device. The processor executes a gesture recognition software program that processes inputs from the input device. The gesture recognition program causes the processor to recognize a primary gesture and a simultaneous secondary gesture, and to perform a processing function based, at least in part, on the primary gesture and a gesture detection zone in which the secondary gesture is detected. | 10-20-2011 |
| 20120023462 | SKIPPING THROUGH ELECTRONIC CONTENT ON AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE - Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method for skipping through electronic content displayed on an electronic device having a touchscreen display coupled to a processing engine. According to one embodiment, a multi-touch gesture is received from a user. Based on the user's multi-touch gesture, electronic content associated with digital media immediately advances to a subsequent section or immediately reverses back to a previous section of the digital media. | 01-26-2012 |
| 20120092172 | User Fatigue - Detect a head position of a user viewing a display device with a sensor, determine a duration of the user viewing the display device, identify a user fatigue in response to the head position, and provide a response to the user with the display device based on the user fatigue and the duration of the user viewing the display device. | 04-19-2012 |
| 20120120016 | IMAGE OF A KEYBOARD - A system or method including a display and sensor to detect touches of the display. The display can display an image of a keyboard. The image of the keyboard can be shaped to the locations of the touches of the display. | 05-17-2012 |
| 20120218073 | Accessible Region of a Device - A device to detect a portable device associated with a user accessing an accessible region of the device with a sensor, identify the portable device and log the user into the device with a profile of the user if the accessible region is accessed by the portable device, and generate a session on the device based on the profile of the user. | 08-30-2012 |
| 20120274575 | Display with curved area - Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to display device having a first display plane, a second display lane, and a curved area between the first and second display planes. The first and second planes and the curved area form a continuous display surface having four edges. Only three of the four edges are viewable by a user when viewing one of the first and second display planes. | 11-01-2012 |
| 20130027290 | Input Mode of a Device - A device to detect a directional hand gesture, identify an input mode of the device associated with the directional hand gesture to launch the input mode, modify a user interface rendered on a display component of the device based on the input mode, and modify a setting of the sensor based on whether the input mode includes a virtual keyboard. | 01-31-2013 |

| 20100266214 | Smart Image Enhancement Process - Contrast and lightness measures are used to first classify the image as being one of non-turbid and turbid. If turbid, the original image is enhanced to generate a first enhanced image. If non-turbid, the original image is classified in terms of a merged contrast/lightness score based on the contrast and lightness measures. The non-turbid image is enhanced to generate a second enhanced image when a poor contrast/lightness score is associated therewith. When the second enhanced image has a poor contrast/lightness score associated therewith, this image is enhanced to generate a third enhanced image. A sharpness measure is computed for one image that is selected from (i) the non-turbid image, (ii) the first enhanced image, (iii) the second enhanced image when a good contrast/lightness score is associated therewith, and (iv) the third enhanced image. If the selected image is not-sharp, it is sharpened to generate a sharpened image. The final image is selected from the selected image and the sharpened image. | 10-21-2010 |
