    摘要: Systems, methods, and devices for preventing access to a prohibited function on a mobile device when the mobile device is in a vehicle, the mobile device having an operating system (OS) installed thereon. The system includes a control device installed within the vehicle and a software application installed and running in memory resident on the mobile device. If a prohibited function is active or attempts to become active on the mobile device, the software application causes the mobile device to transmit a notification signal to the control device. In response, the control device transmits an OS-level command, such as a home or power key press, back to the mobile device. Upon receipt of the OS-level command, the operating system of the mobile device prevents access to the prohibited function without any direct interference or interruption of the prohibited function by the software application installed on the mobile device.

    摘要: A computerized system for enabling a user to compose a song comprises displaying a compose song screen to the user on a video display, the compose song screen including a play bar associated with the current time position of the song; enabling the user to create a first track of the song, wherein the track is associated with an instrument selected by the user, wherein notes of the instrument are assigned to respective keys on a computer keyboard, and wherein the user chooses a tempo for the song, wherein, upon initiating of recording of the track, keys pressed by the user on the keyboard (i) are translated into visual notes on the screen that move, at the tempo, across the play bar and (ii) generate audio output that corresponds to notes from the selected instrument. Multiple tracks, for different instruments, can be created and combined to create a multi-track song.

    摘要: An adjustable width barricade includes a frameless, flexible, washable, aesthetically attractive, and generally-rectangular barrier that mounts between banisters of a stairwell. The adjustable width barricade does not require drilling into the stairwell banisters and is removeably mountable without damaging either the structural integrity or decorative finish of wooden banisters, balusters, rails, or posts. Multiple strap-like fasteners attach the barrier to stairway banisters or posts, including posts having vertically varying diameters and configurations, that are non-parallel relative to each other, that are non-perpendicular relative to the flooring surface, or that are otherwise asymmetrical. A plurality of rigid, structural support members are inserted into vertical channels in the barrier that maintain the height of the barrier when installed. One or more adjustable length lateral straps enable the barrier to be tightened to fit securely, without gaps, and with tension, from banister to banister, across stairways of varying size, style, shape, and width.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for up-scaling a source input video from a lower, first resolution to a desired output video having a higher, second resolution, using fractal zooming techniques to replace each individual source pixel of each respective frame of the source input video with a multiple of proposed replacement pixels in the vertical and horizontal dimensions having similar characteristics as the individual source pixel, reducing noise associated with each respective frame of the desired output video, re-sizing, as necessary, each respective replacement frame to the second resolution, and outputting each zoomed replacement frame to generate the desired output video having a higher, second resolution, which is the up-scaled version of the source video. The fractal zooming techniques include identifying a plurality of candidate pixels from the source video and selecting a group of pixels from the candidate pixels that best matches the individual source pixel.

    摘要: An electrically-controlled water flow regulator for use with a poultry watering system receives potable water at a first, high flow rate and reduces the water flow rate of the water provided to watering valves that dispense water to the flock within a poultry house. A variable control valve uses a needle-shaped cone to engage a mating port inside the housing of the regulator. A motor controls the linear movement of the control valve in incremental steps to adjust the water flow rate provided to the flock. A feedback component enables the variable control valve to maintain the water flow rate at a desired set point for the flock. The desired set point for the flock is controlled or automated to match the growth of the flock over their growth cycle. An electrical controller and suitable cabling enable multiple regulators to be controlled efficiently and cost-effectively.

    摘要: An improved intrinsically safe mobile device is designed to reduce sparking risk and surface heating while still maintaining a form factor, processing speed, and functionality comparable to conventional mobile devices. Non-intrinsically safe electronic components are mounted on an unprotected part of a printed circuit board (PCB) contained within the mobile device and are encapsulated to reduce risk of sparking and to minimize surface heating to enable the encapsulated electronic components to be certified as intrinsically safe. The encapsulated electronic components are connected using a trace with intrinsically safe electronic components mounted on a protected part of the PCB and are connected with user interface components using FPC cabling. The trace and FPC cabling are certified as intrinsically safe using one or more protection techniques, such as through use of a resistor, a double MOSFET clamping circuit, a capacitor, a fuse, or maintaining a minimum clearance space.

    摘要: A computer system, and underlying methodologies, provides a content management system including a page editor. The page editor provides authoring tools to allow not only a developer/designer, but also an end user, to design, create, edit, store, organize and/or publish content. Different levels of permissions may be assigned to different end users. Preferably, the page editor includes a graphical user interface (GUI), which is presented to the end user by the computer system via a client device. The GUI presents development tools to the user to allow the user to design, create, edit, store, organize and/or publish, dynamically generated content that is presented as part of existing applications or pages. Further, the content management system allows the user to expose the page editor, including the GUI and development tools, as part of the user(s) content and to adjust the content-generation experience presented to other users of the application or page.

    摘要: Methods, systems, devices, and implementing technologies for up-scaling an original source video from a lower, first resolution to a desired output video having a higher, second resolution, using fractal zooming techniques to replace individual source pixels in each respective image frame of the original source video with a plurality of proposed replacement pixels in the vertical and horizontal dimensions having similar characteristics as the individual source pixel, reducing noise associated with each respective frame of the desired output video, re-sizing, as necessary, each respective replacement frame to the second resolution, and outputting each zoomed replacement frame to generate the desired output video, which is an up-scaled version of the original source video. The quality of the up-scaled output video is improved by using artifact filtering and linear smoothing techniques after the initial search and replace steps of the fractal zooming process.
