8106742, Jan 31, 2012

Filed:

Aug 6, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/834131

Inventors:

Kevin Marshall - Kirkland WA, US

International Classification:

G05B 19/02
G08C 19/12
H04N 5/44
H04B 10/00

US Classification:

340 43, 340 1324, 398106, 398107, 348734

Abstract:

According to one general aspect, a method according to the present application includes remotely controlling wirelessly networked devices via a mobile unit. The method includes receiving, at a mobile unit and from a user, an input, analyzing the input to identify a networked device associated with the input, determining whether the networked device is presently accessible via a wireless network; determining whether to establish a connection with the networked device based on whether the networked device is determined to be presently accessible via the wireless network. The method also includes establishing a connection with the networked device if it is determined that the networked device is accessible via the wireless network and enabling the user to interact with the networked device through the mobile unit to remotely control the networked device.

Filed:

Jan 25, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/019999

Inventors:

Mark A. Samuelson - Seattle WA, US
Kevin B. Marshall - Kirkland WA, US

Assignee:

Nuance Communications, Inc. - Burlington MA

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707706, 707736, 707741

Abstract:

A hardware and/or software search facility for searching and retrieving data stored on a mobile device. An index to the data is stored in fast memory (e. g. , RAM) on the mobile device. The index contains a minimal amount of information necessary to present search results to a user. A supplemental data file is stored in storage that is local to or remote from the mobile device. The supplemental data files contain additional organized data that may be used to enhance the search results. In response to a search query, the facility uses the index to identify results that are responsive to the search query. The results are presented by the facility in accordance with predetermined rules. The facility may use the supplemental data file to perform further processing and present additional information. In some embodiments, the facility may mount or unmount indices and supplemental files from a device.

Nuance Communications, Inc. - Burlington MA

International Classification:

H04M 3/42

US Classification:

4554144, 4554121, 4554122, 4554141, 4554041, 4554561

Abstract:

A hardware and/or software facility measures end user activity associated with a software application or service on a mobile phone or other mobile device. The facility tracks and stores usage data associated with a mobile user's use of the application or service. When the mobile user initiates transmission of the usage data, the facility retrieves from the mobile phone or other mobile device a usage code representing the usage data. The facility relies on user transcription, text input-buffer insertion, or other indirect means of data transport to deliver the usage code from the mobile phone or other mobile device to an application developer, service provider, or another entity. The recipient extracts the usage data contained in the usage code, and may perform various data mining and analysis techniques on the usage data in order to evaluate how the application or service is used.

US Classification:

707769, 704 8, 707E17014, 707E17033

Abstract:

A system and method to search for items characterized by Japanese text using a mobile device. The search system receives keyed user input and converts the input into a set of search terms. After generating search terms, the system searches Japanese text fields for matching items accessible by the mobile device. One or more natural starting points in the text fields are identified for each matching item. Starting points may include, for example, the beginning of a text field and the locations of punctuation or changes in character set in the text field. After determining starting points, the system determines the distance between the matching text and a starting point. The system then provides an ordered set of search results based on the calculated distance and potentially other factors, such as the alignment of the match and the type of item.

US Classification:

427 211, 118100, 118101, 118600

Abstract:

An apparatus can be used to apply and remove fluid substances for processing biological samples. The fluid substances can be delivered between a first substrate and a second substrate. One substrate carries a specimen. A layer of the fluid substance is retained in a gap defined by the first and second substrates. One substrate is moved with respect to the second substrate to disperse the fluid substance in the gap.

Abstract:

A specimen processing system is capable of processing specimens carried on slides. The specimen processing system can sequentially deliver slides and opposables to specimen processing stations. The specimen processing stations can use the opposables to apply a series of liquids to the specimens. The applied liquid can be moved along the slide using capillary action while the specimen processing stations control the processing temperatures. The applied liquid can be in a fluid-carrying gap. The opposable can contact the slide to vary a cross section of the fluid-carrying gap.
