International Classification:

H04M 1/02

US Classification:

4555561, 455344, 34053913

Abstract:

Disclosed are devices and methods of an electronic device configured to adaptably process arbitrary conditions to provide a user options for initiating or activating a non-display electronic function of the device. A user is free to determine how to position or orient the device. To determine in real-time, arbitrary conditions of the device, the disclosed devices and methods of an electronic device include determining that the electronic device is at rest and then acquiring a reference in response to determining that the electronic device is at rest. In this way, the device may assume any position or orientation to acquire a reference. Subsequently, subtle movement of the electronic device relative to the acquired reference may be detected to initiate a non-display electronic function of the electronic device. The user therefore may make choices inconspicuously and privately as to which non-display electronic function to initiate.

International Classification:

G06F 7/00

US Classification:

707804, 707E17044, 707E17009

Abstract:

In a hierarchical profile, each node represents at least one feature of behavioral data collected about an entity profiled, with the topmost node selected as the “statistically most informative” feature of the data. A profile can cover numerous domains and be predictively very powerful in each domain. A number of observations can be “aggregated” together into a single datapoint. In use, the structure of the profile is compared against current information associated with the entity to produce a recommendation or prediction. If the profile represents at least some data aggregation, then new observations are folded into the profile based on statistical weights of the aggregations. Because of the way the profile is created and updated, its hierarchical structure maps the collected observations. Therefore, as new observations are incorporated, if the new observations change the profile's structure significantly, then it can be hypothesized that something “interesting” has happened to the entity.

International Classification:

H03H 912

US Classification:

216 97

Abstract:

A method for etching (200) photolithographically produced quartz crystal blanks for singulation. First, a quartz wafer is plated on both sides with metal and subsequently coated on both sides with photoresist (202). Second, the photoresist is patterned and developed and the metal layers etched to define the periphery of a quartz blank with a narrow quartz channel exposed between the blank to be singulated and the parent quartz wafer (204). Third, the quartz channel is preferentially etched partially into the wafer along parallel atomic planes to provide a mechanically weak junction between the quartz wafer and the blank to be singulated, while the periphery around the remainder of the quartz blank is etched completely through the parent quartz wafer (206). Fourth, the photoresist layers are stripped from the quartz wafer (208). Finally, the quartz blank is cleaved substantially along the bottom of the quartz channel to singulate the crystal blank from the wafer (210).

US Classification:

Abstract:

A method (202) for etching photolithographically produced quartz crystal blanks for singulation. In a first step (202), a quartz wafer is plated on both sides with metal and subsequently coated on both sides with photoresist. In a second step (204), the photoresist is patterned and developed and the metal layer on one side is etched through to form a narrow channel in the quartz defining a perimeter of a quartz blank. In a third step (206), the quartz channel is preferentially etched partially into the wafer along parallel atomic planes to provide a mechanically weak junction between the quartz wafer and the blanks to be singulated. In a fourth step (208), the photoresist layers are stripped from the quartz wafer. In a final step (210), the quartz blank is cleaved substantially along the bottom of the quartz channel to singulate the crystal blanks from the quartz wafer.

International Classification:

H01L 4108

US Classification:

310345

Abstract:

An ultra thin piezoelectric quartz crystal package can be realized by using adhesive dollops to compliantly mount a piezoelectric device within a thin package. The adhesive dollops maintain spacing between the upper and lower surfaces of the piezoelectric device (18) and the surfaces (13 and 15) of the housing that is comprised of upper and lower substrates (12 and 14).

Abstract:

A determination is made as to when two computing devices are in the presence of each other, also referred to as the two computing devices being colocated. This determination is made based on wireless location signals received at the two computing devices as well as environment data sensed by the two computing devices. The computing devices determine whether they are in the presence of each other and enable multi-device engagement in response to determining that the two computing devices are in the presence of each other.

International Classification:

G06F 21/62
G06F 21/60

Abstract:

A method in an electronic device designates, with one or more processors of the electronic device, at least one data item stored within a memory of the electronic device for storage in a plurality of remote electronic devices. The method encrypts, with the one or more processors, the at least one data item to create at least one encrypted data item. The method divides, with the one or more processors, the at least one encrypted data item into a plurality of encrypted subset data items. The method then delivers, with a communication device, at least a first encrypted subset data item from the plurality of encrypted subset data items to a first remote electronic device and at least a second subset data item from the plurality of encrypted subset data items to a second remote electronic device.
