False Patent Claims - HELP

Hello Palm Blog,
My comment is more of a historical support question.
Our company has apps that run on the legacy Palm OS that are like forms / checklists.
We have encountered a firm that claims they have the "patent on mobile forms / checklist for PDAs / Smartphones" (see details below).
being able to refute their patent claim would be to show proof that PDA / smartphone 'mobile forms/checklists' existed (in the USA) prior to 2002. I know this is the case but do not have the documented proof of such apps on a PDA / Smartphone that were in PUBLIC use (any such in use) prior to August 2002.
They patent was issued August 19, 2003 therefore the earliest application of their patent would have been August 2002.
HELP!!
Any documentation, articles, or proof that mobile checklists / inspections / questionnaires / etc. being used on a PDA / smartphone prior to August 2002 will allow us to refute / debunk their patent claims.
Below is a link to the patent.

Dear Moderator,
I am seeking input from peers that have used PDAs to collect information in 'forms' prior to 2002.  
I am not wanting legal advise, support in litigation, etc.
The firm in question is extroting money from ANY company that is large enough and they believe have teh money to pay them to go away.
All I am seekinig is to know if anyone was using PDA forms / data collect prior to 2002.
Thank you for your assistance.

  • Help! Shafted by Sony's incompetence and false waterproof claims!

    Repair # 1-20162112859
    My phone was left on the table while it was raining last week (flaps fully closed of course) and when I picked it up to check something after a while I saw it was turning itself off. After that it never came back alive no matter what I tried. I noticed the camera lenses had fully frosted up so it was apparent that water had seeped in somehow.
    I dried the phone for over a day but it simply didn't work! I sent it to Sony for warranty repair as I expected it to be covered since I used it under their advertised conditons and you expect it to take a bit of rain at the minimum.
    To my utter horror they have come back as saying that because the phone has some other physical damage on the other side (it has a very slight bend in the left side middle which i don't recall it having) it means that the warranty is automatically void and they don't even need to investigate the water damage or the reason why the waterproofing failed via faulty flaps! But the failed flap is the one on the opposite/right side where the SIM and memory card go! It doesn't even make sense!
    I have attached the repair centre (SBE Ltd.) sent pictures as evidence.
    I assure you that the 2 are completely unrelated and on the opposite sides of the phone. They are simply using cause and effect and not scientific tests to rub their hands off my claim. I asked for a logical explanation but none were given. There are plenty threads online showing that Sony Z3 phones have been failing at waterproofing. Given Sony's dropping sales they should at least help out their customers and stick by their principles and marketing claims.
    To top up the experience the rude customer service even charge me £20 to ship phone back! Extortion?
    I was a stauch Sony fan who owned the Xperia S, Z, Z2 and Z3 but my Sony story is well and truly over! I will go to a small consumer court as I will not give up because I am right!
    More shocked than disppointed.
    Vidur

    The bend is way down and does not affect the flap area in any way especially since it is on the OPPOSITE side. Sony basically finds any little defect in the body and says that warranty void! They haven't even clarified or confirmed that the flap was affected in any way. They didn't even test that bit before saying we won't repair it. The phone bended. Isn't that also a manufacturing defect/poor quality? How can phones just bend??! Scandalous if you ask me. Their phone fails on 2 counts but who is to blame? The consumer of course!

(Yeh sure) So i had to claim from house insurance which then they sent be a brand new one not requesting the old one back. They took note of the IMEI Number from me. I still have this broken phone now am i able to sell this phone or is it useless??

    Thanks
    Danny

    Its a bit of a shame to claim off vodafone i have to say goodbye to my unlocked simfree N95 and get given a vodafone one =[ which means less updates unless i mess about with it.

    hmm trace comes back will null
    the way it goes is, i have a trial.swf
    which is the preloader which loads start page in ok
    on press of a button on start page i was hoping it would tell that preloader to go and relaunch but this time load ("faq"), i can use this code on a normal loader and everything will work fine the child is removed and another one loaded in, however the code itself needs to be in preloader form as the load takes a while to complete.
    i do have some other code inside of the start page mc maybe this is affecting everything going correctly

    I have MacKeeper installed
    Oh dear.
    Many users will see references to an application called MacKeeper on various web sites and via pop-ups on their browser. Not only is it expensive for what it purports to do (freeware applications that do the same or more are readily available), it can sometimes install itself without the user realising it, and it can be very tricky to get rid of.
    Most positive reviews of it have been found to have been paid for by Zeobit (developers of MacKeeper) in the form of ‘free upgrades’ etc. For example (posted by fellow contributor Softwater), on their Facebook page and on their webpage they have this apparent endorsement from UNC Charlotte:
    https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-18670779-12515 7/450-259/Screen+Shot+2012-06-17+at+17.04.04.png
    Softwater contacted the Director of IT at the College of Arts and Architecture UNC Charlotte, about whether they endorse MacKeeper and his response, quoted here, was:
    No, please do not download and install MacKeeper. We have seen problems with this software in the past.
    MacKeeper has been described by various sources as highly invasive malware* that can de-stablize your operating system, adding that it is unethically marketed, with a history of making false advertising claims, by a company called Zeobit and a rip-off.
    For more details about Zeobit’s alledgedly fraudulent advertising and paid-for ‘reviews’, and their dubious marketing practises, read this:
    http://stemmings.com/the-truth-about-mackeeper-scam/
    Further opinion on it and how to uninstall MacKeeper malware can be read here:
    http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/09/21/how-to-uninstall-mackeeper-malware/
    MacKeeper have recently said that the uninstaller from here:

    now works.

  • Firefox suddenly stopped opening webpages, while other browser work properly. I checked Proxy settings and everything that is mentioned in the central help page, but still no solution found...

    In addition, i tried to re-install Firefox many times, without a result. In the time these lines are written, I am using Google Chrome to surf the web.
    Neither proxy settings, nor the true/false ipV6 values helped.
    The '''"symptoms"''' are as following:
    --> The programm itself starts correctly, at usual speed, with no crashes or error messages to pop-up.
    --> No page is displayed, neither the home page, nor any other one. I only see a blank white page.
    -->The name of the starting tab, as of any other new tab I try to open is "(Untitled)"
    -->There is no probability of errors in the Internet Line, because I am using it right now, running Chrome.
    -->The full scan results are totally clean, using Panda Internet Security 2011, activated and updated.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • Is there a way to open context-sensitive help in a new window with RH10?

    I'm linking my context sensitive help using the RoboHelp_CSH.js file to my web application.
    The correct topic opens when I click the help link, but it opens in a pop-up window. This causes problems in Firefox and Chrome (which block pop-ups by default).
    Is there anyway to force the context-sensitive help topics to open in a new window?
    I've tried adding
    <p><A HREF="javascript:RH_ShowHelp(0,'http:/myurl/index.htm', HH_HELP_CONTEXT, 100)" target="_blank">Help</A>
    which opens an empty tab in Firefox with no content in it. And it doesn't work in Chrome either.
    Has anyone else run into this? Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Colleen

    Hi and welcome to the forums.
    Using the RoboHelp API, that is quite a bother. (Read: major pain)
    Fortunately, there is a simple solution:
    <a href="http://myurl/index.htm#<id=4>>newwnd=false" target="blank">Help<a/>
    This link does exactly the same, only opens the help in a new browser window.

    Reply by Thomas Chadzelek 
    I would not recommend to use the changed()/isChanged() methods. They represents "dirty flags" used by our framework in certain situations ("delta handling"). I don't think that applications need access to it, except in certain situations. Anyway, these flags are set whenever an attribute is changed and reset at the end of the roundtrip.
    isChangedByClient() represents a different set of "dirty flags" whose reset is under the application's control. They are set whenever a user changes an attribute (through the Web Dynpro client), but not when server-side code does such a change.
    In NW04, these flags are quite coars-grained. A node element is marked as changed when any of its attributes has been changed.

    is not being drained the gate is up. The second gate is down
    when the barrier is filling with participants. Raising the
    second gate allows everyone who is waiting to leave the barrier.
    The algorithm is as follows:
    1) Each thread entering the barrier waits until the first gate
    is opened. In order to accomodate both preemptive and
    non-preemptive threading, be sure to call Thread.yield().
    2) Each thread updates a counter that tracks how many threads
    have entered the barrier. The last thread to enter closes
    the first gate and opens the second.
    3) Each thread waits until the second gate is opened. Again,
    to accomodate both preemptive and non-preemptive threading
    be sure to call Thread.yield() while waiting at the gate.
    When the second gate is opened the last thread to leave
    closes the second gate and opens the first.
    Need to include all appropriate synchronization to
    avoid possible race conditions!
    Sample code is:
    INTERFACE:
    public interface Barrier {
                        // enter the barrier and wait. everyone leaves
                        // when the last participant enters the barrier.
    public void barrier();
    SPINBARRIER CLASS CKELETON IS:
    public class SpinBarrier implements Barrier {
                        // create a new barrier
    public SpinBarrier(int participants)
         limit = participants;
                        // enter the barrier and wait. everyone leaves
                        // when the last participant enters the barrier.
    public void barrier()
                        // if the barrier is currently being drained,
                        // wait here until it's ready for a new cycle.
                        // the barrier is now ready for a new cycle.
                        // register your presence and wait for everyone.
                        // last one in closes gate 0 and opens gate 1.
                        // the barrier is now full, so take yourself out.
                        // last one out closes gate 1 and opens gate 0.
    private int limit;                    // number of barrier participants
    private int count = 0;               // number of participants entered
    private volatile boolean gate0 = false;     // is the barrier being drained?
    private volatile boolean gate1 = true;     // is the barrier full yet?
    Algorithem for second Q. is as follows:
    For the QueueEvent class, the java Object class methods
    wait() and notifyAll() to implement the solution. Events
    have four functions: post(), block(), clear() and test().
    post() records that an event has occured. block() causes a
    thread to suspend operation until the desired event occurs.
    clear() erases a recorded event. test() returns true if the
    event has been recorded, and false if it has not.
    Example Code is:
    INTERFACE :
    public interface Event {
                        // wait for an event to occur. everyone
                        // leaves when some thread posts the event.
    public void block();
                        // indicate that the event has occured
    public void post();
                        // clear the event, that is, make it as if
                        // a thread hasn't posted the event.
    public void clear();
                        // test the event, that is, return true if
                        // the event has been posted.
    public boolean test();
    QUEUEEVEN CLASS SKELETON IS:
    public class QueueEvent implements Event {
                        // create a new event
    public QueueEvent()
                        // wait for an event to occur. everyone
                        // leaves when some thread posts the event.
    public void block()
                        // indicate that the event has occured
    public void post()
                        // clear the event, that is, make it as if
                        // a thread hasn't posted the event.
    public void clear()
                        // test the event, that is, return true if
                        // the event has been posted.
    public boolean test()
         return event_posted;
    private volatile boolean event_posted = false;

  • "False" in quiz is always graded as "True"

    I'm new to Captivate.....using version 6.  I've created 3 short quizzes with a variety of questions. The problem is, there are several true/false questions, and each time the students answer True to a question that is actually False, it grades them as correct.
    I've verified this in the Adobe Quiz Analyzer (students post their scores through their Adobe accounts).
    But...when I edit the quiz, I have those questions marked "False" ......and.....when I take the quiz myself (both in Preview mode and published pdf) it grades me correctly. I also tried taking the quizzes from another computer, and everything still works properly for me.
    There are no problems with the other types of questions....only the True/False.
    Please help!  Thank you in advance.
    Tara

    Hello,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    Which Adobe Flash Player installed on your Student's computers ?
    Also have you tested a Sample project with 2 or 4 True/False questions, do you have same issue with your students ?
    Thanks,

  • Adding items in JComboBox - Help

    Hy, I have a JComboBox() and a JTextField().
    when I input a name in the JTextField and clicks on the "Ok" button
    the name is added in the JComboBox().
    What I want is when I click on the "Ok" button, a check is made to see
    whether the name input in the JTextField already exist in the JComboBox().
    If is exist a message is displayed else it is added.
    How to perform the check.
    PLease send me code for doing this.
    thanks

    Hi.
    The JComboBox uses a model to get its hands on the elements to be displayed. Thus you must search the model to see if the string is already contained.
    Use something like this:
        public boolean contains(JComboBox comboBox, String s) {
            int elementCount = comboBox.getModel().getSize();
            for (int i = 0; i < elementCount; i ++) {
                String t = (String)comboBox.getModel().getElementAt(i);
                if (t.equals(s))
                    return true;
            return false;
        }Hope this helps,
    Michael
