20100293230 | Multilingual Support for an Improved Messaging System - One or more illustrative embodiments provide a method, apparatus, and computer program product for managing a session of electronic communications. In one illustrative embodiment, a language is identified using a processor for an incoming electronic communication received from a sender computer in the session. It is determined whether the language differs from a desired display language. The incoming electronic communication is translated into the desired display language using a translation service to form a translated incoming electronic communication responsive to a determination that the language differs from the desired display language. The translated incoming electronic communication is displayed in the session on a display device. | 11-18-2010 |

20140066201 | Mobile and Adaptable Fitness System - A mobile and adaptable fitness system allows a fitness device to be used to control an application running on a host device. The system includes one or more controllers, a motion sensing device, and a host device. The hand controllers may be mounted on the handlebars of the fitness device or held in a user's hands and include buttons that the user can press. The motion sensing device may be mounted on the user or on a moving part of the fitness device and contains sensors that capture motion performed by the user. The host device receives input data from the hand controllers and the motion sensing device and generates an activity vector representing the intensity at which the user performs a fitness activity. Based on the activity vector, the host device controls an object in an application, such as a character, based on the input data. | 03-06-2014 |

20150308214 | Fold Back Swell Packer - A fold back ring for a swell packer is disclosed. A swell packer has a support member, a swellable element coupled to the support member, and a fold back ring coupled to the support member and engaging the swellable element. The fold back ring is sized and positioned such that when the swellable element swells, the fold back ring flexes outwardly and is caught between the swellable element and the interior surface of the well. The fold back ring therefore forms a barrier against extrusion of the swellable element. | 10-29-2015 |

20130067755 | ARCHERY BOW SIGHT AND RANGE FINDER - A bow sight with an adjustable range finder is described herein. The sight of the present invention is affixed in substantially the same vertical position as the bow to which it is attached. The range finder of the present invention moves independently of the sight. As the archer applies pressure to a conveniently positioned trigger, a ranging pin is rotated in relation to a guide pin and, as a result, the archer must raise the bow to accommodate. The archer will therefore necessarily shoot at an increased trajectory to compensate for the increased distance between the archer and the target. | 03-21-2013 |
