Abstract: The present invention provides an illumination module, and a display and a general lighting apparatus using the same. Said illumination module includes a plurality of light guiding strips arranged in juxtaposition with a predefined distance; a plurality of light sources, disposed on at least one end of said light guiding strips respectively for providing the light into said light guiding strips; and a plurality of light reflecting units, disposed between said light guiding strips for reflecting the light from said light guiding strips. The light reflecting units according to the present invention can guide the light from the sides of light guiding strips or other light not toward the right side of the illumination module back to the right side of the illumination module, and thus improving the light output efficiency and uniformity.

Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments that may facilitate management of operation of an integrated circuit (IC) including adjustment of the IC. The adjustment may be based at least in part on a proximity of a temperature of the IC relative to a predetermined temperature.
Abstract: Embodiments for positioning rising and/or filling edges of data strobe signals are disclosed. One example embodiment may comprise receiving a data signal, positioning an edge of a first delayed data strobe signal associated with the data signal by a first programmable amount, and positioning an edge of a second delayed data strobe signal associated with the data signal by a second programmable amount, wherein the second delayed data strobe signal is shifted approximately one bit-time in relation to the first delayed data strobe signal.
Abstract: One of several methods comprises selecting one or more parameters based, at least in part, on a ranking of a relative desirability of said one or more specified parameters and selecting a subset of a set of electronic content for use in at least a portion of an electroniccompilation, wherein said subset may be selected based, at least in part, on said one or more parameters.

Abstract: A architecture is provided to enable a client web browser to conduct and manage a multilevel search. The browser includes an application layer interface. The application layer interface is for coupling to network via a protocol stack. The browser also includes a markup language parser. The parser receives information from the application layer interface. The browser also includes a graphical user interface for interacting with a user. The graphical user interface allows a user to specify a set of multilevel search parameters. The browser also includes a markup language processor that receives input from the markup language parser and multilevel search parameters from the graphical user interface. The markup language processor conducts and manages a multilevel search to find specified information on a current web page or a web page referenced by the current web page in accordance with a parameterized search tree.
Abstract: A message is provided to a tracking server system in response to a client system referencing a predetermined resource locator that corresponds to a resource external to the tracking server system. The tracking server system indirectly provides for the client system to have an informational element selectable by the client system, where the informational element is graphically identified on the client system with informational content obtainable from a content server system through use of a content resource locator. The informational element includes a tracking resource locator, referencing the tracking server system, and data identifying the informational element. The selection of the informational element causes the client system to use the tracking resource locator to provide the data to the tracking server system and to use the content resource locator to obtain the informational content from the content server system.

Abstract: Embodiments of a method and/or system of transmitting and/or receiving data are disclosed. In certain embodiments, a sequence of binary values may represent a sequence of trees. Such a sequence may be transmitted as an electrical digital signal. In at least one particular implementation, such trees may be represented by natural numerals.
Abstract: Methods are provided for use by mobile units to allow operation with different wireless access points of packet-switched and circuit-switched wireless communication systems. Some methods include, for example, determining whether a mobile unit is compatible with a particular wireless access point, and if further software is needed to make the mobile unit compatible with the wireless access point, sending from the remote server system to the mobile unit one or more executable software modules to be loaded into the mobile unit which may be used to reconfigure the mobile unit to communicate via the wireless access point. Such software modules may be sent in anticipation of a system-level handoff operation.
