The apparatus comprises a face plate, an adjustment device affixed to the face plate, wherein the adjustment device includes a plurality of ridges formed thereon to define a plurality of gaps, and wherein the adjustment device is capable of rotating about an axis, and a clamp affixed to an electronic device chassis, having a first arm contacting the adjustment device in a first gap of the plurality of gaps and allowing for rotation of the adjustment device about the axis from the first gap to a second gap of the plurality of gaps. | 09-17-2015 |
20150273340 | ADAPTIVE GAME ENHANCEMENT FOR MULTIPLAYER ONLINE GAMES - In an approach to determine achievements for online computing game users, a computer identifies one or more game actions of a first user and one or more game actions of a plurality of users for one or more online computing games. The computer determines a game action of the first user is substantially similar to a game action of at least one user of the plurality of users, and in response, the computer identifies a group of users that includes at least the first user and the at least one user of the plurality of users. The computer then determines at least one achievement for the group of users, based, at least in part, on the game action of the first user and the game action of the at least one user. | 10-01-2015 |
20150276412 | Global Positioning System Routing Based On Altering Arrival Time - GPS routing that: (i) determines a desired arrival time, based on expected completion time of an in-vehicle activity and a destination, for a trip being made by a vehicle; and (ii) performs GPS routing to determine a first route so that a first arrival time corresponding to the first route will be substantially the same as the desired arrival time. When the vehicle travels the first route to reach the destination the in-vehicle will generally be completed at about the same time the trip is completed. In many cases, the first route will not correspond to any of the following: (i) a shortest distance route, (ii) a least fuel consumptive route; and/or (iii) a quickest route. | 10-01-2015 |
