20110276805 | System and Method for Third Party Creation of Applications for Mobile Appliances - The creation of an application for any mobile appliance, for example Apple's iPhone, requires several elements to be present at compile time. In the Apple example of an enterprise application where an entity wishes to develop applications internally for its staff, two of these elements are the source code and a digital certificate. These must be combined in the compiler so that the application may be properly authorized to run in the appliance. Where the owner of the source code and the owner of the digital certificate are not the same, serious concerns arise because each element must be secured. An intermediating system and method are described that allows each party to cooperate securely through a third party escrow service to produce the complied application whilst leaving no unwanted residue of the independent parts. | 11-10-2011 |

20140238153 | ARTIFICIAL SKIN AND ELASTIC STRAIN SENSOR - An elastic strain sensor can be incorporated into an artificial skin that can sense flexing by the underlying support structure of the skin to detect and track motion of the support structure. The unidirectional elastic strain sensor can be formed by filling two or more channels in an elastic substrate material with a conductive liquid. At the ends of the channels, a loop port connects the channels to form a serpentine channel. The channels extend along the direction of strain and the loop portions have sufficiently large cross-sectional area in the direction transverse to the direction of strain that the sensor is unidirectional. The resistance is measured at the ends of the serpentine channel and can be used to determine the strain on the sensor. Additional channels can be added to increase the sensitivity of the sensor. The sensors can be stacked on top of each other to increase the sensitivity of the sensor. In other embodiments, two sensors oriented in different directions can be stacked on top of each other and bonded together to form a bidirectional sensor. A third sensor formed by in the shape of a spiral or concentric rings can be stacked on top and used to sense contact or pressure, forming a three dimensional sensor. The three dimensional sensor can be incorporated into an artificial skin to provide advanced sensing. | 08-28-2014 |
