Abstract: An inflatable curtain having an inflatable portion and a non-inflatable portion is disclosed. First and second stiffening elements are positioned along the upper edge of the inflatable curtain. The inflatable curtain is adapted to be stored within an interior portion of a vehicle prior to inflation. The vehicle has a roof at its highest point, and a housing within the vehicle and close to the roof defines an internal recess that accommodates the inflatable curtain. A side impact of a magnitude greater than a predetermined threshold value is sensed by a sensor mechanism within the vehicle, which then provides an electrical signal to an inflator which is in fluid communication with the inflatable portion of the inflatable curtain. The electrical signal causes the inflator to be actuated in a known manner. The inflator discharges fluid under pressure into the inflatable portion of the inflatable curtain. Shortly after the inflator discharges, the housing opens and the inflatable curtain inflates away from the roof. The first and second stiffening elements provide column support to the inflatable curtain during inflation and reduce the amount of time it takes for the inflatable curtain to become fully inflated.

Abstract: An ultrasonic toy for animals is comprised of a noisemaker arranged to produce ultrasonic noise at about 30 to 70 dB, which is loud enough to be clearly heard by an animal but not enough to be aversive, frightening or harmful to the animal. The noisemaker is comprised of a resonance tube attached to an air bladder. The resonance tube includes a closed outer end, an axial hole open to the inner end, and a notch on a side wall communicating with the hole. An insert is positioned inside the hole. Keys in the hole and the insert align the insert radially and longitudinally within the hole. An alternative noisemaker is comprised of an electronic transducer driven by an oscillator which is activated by a pressure sensitive switch. An alternative air bladder includes a recess wherein the resonance tube is positioned to protect it from being dislodged or blocked.

Abstract: A memory management system is described herein that receives information from applications describing how memory is being used and that allows an application host to exert more control over application requests for using memory. The system provides an application memory management application-programming interface (API) that allows the application to specify more information about memory allocations that is helpful for managing memory later. The system also provides an ability to statically and/or dynamically analyze legacy applications to give applications that are not modified to work with the system some ability to participate in more effective memory management. The system provides application host changes to leverage the information provided by applications and to manage memory more effectively using the information and hooks into the application's use of memory. Thus, the system provides a new model for managing memory that improves application host behavior and allows applications to use computing resources more efficiently.

Abstract: Systems, computer program products and computer program products for facilitating the dynamic addition and removal of operating system components on computing devices based on application or user interaction over time are disclosed. Such systems, computer program products and computer program products provide one or more API intercept layers, a rules engine and a hydrate engine that facilitates the ability to dynamically rehydrate or hydrate operating system components. In an embodiment, a minimal (or core) operating system image on a computing device is deployed. Then, required components may be dynamically added (i.e., “streamed” or “rehydrated”) from storage, a server or cloud service as required by an executing application program on the computing device. In another embodiment, a totally complete operating system image is deployed on a computing device. Then, unused components may be dynamically removed (i.e., “dehydrated”) from the computing device over time based on application or user interaction.
